The Right Way to Build a Better Relationship With Your Dog

Expert dog training for reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and everything in between.

What Makes Us Different

At Right Way K9 Training, we do more than train dogs — we teach dog owners how to create lasting behavior change. Our dog training programs focus on educating you, so you feel confident handling your dog at home, in public, and in high-distraction environments.

We specialize in personalized dog training plans tailored to your dog’s breed, behavior, and your specific goals. Whether you're dealing with leash reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or basic obedience, we adapt our methods to fit your dog — not the other way around.

Success isn’t just about obedience commands. We help build calm, confident, well-behaved dogs that are mentally healthy and able to thrive in everyday life — even in chaotic, real-world settings.

  • Matt was such an amazing trainer. He was able to help us bring our two dogs together that each had their own issues and baggage from being rescues with anxiety and socialization issues. Our training was customized to our needs with care and thought brought to each session. We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience and can’t recommend his services enough

  • Matt has taught us more than we could imagine about behavior management with dogs. Our dog Benny would constantly pull on the leash, run after squirrels, and ignored us when we called him. I also just had a baby and wanted to make sure Benny was well behaved around her. With matt’s help all of these issues are completely resolved, and it is amazing to see how disciplined and happy of a dog Benny now is. I highly recommend this company!

  • Thank you so much to Matt and rightway K9 training. His lessons exceeded our expectations! Not only did he create lessons that catered to our needs and dog breed but he made them fun and super informative as well. The techniques we learned not only improved our puppies behavior but our overall relationship with our dog. Looking forward to the Berea location opening for the doggy day sessions!

  • Worth every penny! Matt is terrific and a true expert. Would recommend Right Way K-9 Training to anyone. Came to our home, personalized training to fit our puppy Scotch’s needs. Always available via text for any questions throughout training. Our pup is such a well behaved pooch. Everyone we see out and about comment on how well trained he is!! Scotch is a lucky boy. Thanks, Matt!

  • We had a great experience with Right Way K9 Training and Matt. Koko is probably 5 years old and was adopted from Friendship APL. He had behavior issues that we needed assistance with, including resource guarding and climbing the chain link fence to chase deer. With Matt's guidance over 10 lessons as well as the work we did in between, Koko's issues have disappeared and he is a happier dog. We highly recommend Right Way K9 Training. Thanks, Matt!

    Buffy

  • Right Way K9 Training worked wonders for our dog, and Matt's techniques worked where other training programs have failed in the past. We have a much better relationship with our dog now, and we're able to take her just about everywhere now without any behavioral issues. It's a methodical, disciplined, and structured program and that seems to be exactly what our dog needed. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to improve their quality of life with their furry friends!
