"I coach my clients to help them understand their dogs and improve their lives together"
Support can range from puppy training and advice from 8 weeks of age, general life skills, support with a newly re-homed rescue dog or behavioural issues such as separation anxiety, fears or guarding.
​
My goal is to support you and your dog through positive, ethical, fear free and rewarding techniques.
​
I would never condone or recommend a harsh, aversive or forceful approach


Matt Hymus
Dog Behaviourist & Trainer
I am a Vet recommended, dog behaviourist (ICB full member) and dog trainer. I passed my advanced Canine Behaviour and Training (Level 6 - Degree level) in November 2025 after 2 years of study and have over 6 years professional experience working with dogs, along with a lifetime of living with dogs.
I am also an approved IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) Trainer and KAD (Kids around Dogs) approved pro. (KAD is a Supporting Member organisation of ABTC (https://abtc.org.uk/advisory-and-supporting-members/) helping children overcome their fears and teaching them how to interact with dogs.
​
I also volunteer at Danaher Animal Home when I can, having started there as a dog walker in 2019, helping numerous and various dogs. I continue to help clients who re-home dogs from Danaher.
​
Having grown up in a family who always had dogs, from a German Shepherd to a Greyhound and Labrador, I know how important and rewarding a positive relationship between dog and owner can be. I now care for my own big and fluffy Labradoodle.
​
I will always continue my personal development to ensure I can provide you with the most appropriate, force free solutions. ​ ​
​
Consultations are available UK wide and I look forward to working with you and your canine friend, either in person or via Zoom.
