“We adopted Zeus a 3 year old Belgian Mal from Mikeys chance. He was getting trained out at MDTA for showing issues towards human males. After coming home with us he shows how greatly trained he is by doing amazing around our kids and other dogs. With this breed comes a lot of high energy which in the wrong hands can be hard to handle but Chance and Mary got him exactly where we needed him to be! I would recommend MDTA to anyone and everyone!”
Ashlee Gage
“MDTA is amazing!!! They are so patient and professional! Our German Shepherd was battling anxiety and would not kennel. They trained him to be a very calm obedient dog. He listens to commands, walks on leash well, kennels beautifully, and is now good with other dogs. Chance and Mary have worked a miracle!! The personal touch of photos of our boy throughout training was a plus. They really care for the dogs. I like that money also goes to help veterans receive a service dog. Thank you MDTA for your service for our family!! We appreciate you!!”

“My 1 year old American Bulldog was out of control. She wasTearing up couches, dog beds, shoes and anything else she could find. She then became very food aggressive. In 2 months Mattox Dog Training Academy was able to correct the problems. She came home with manners and respect. I can’t thank Mary and Chance enough for taking the time to figure my dog out.”
Nolan Rice
“We were looking for someone to train our young family dog. Mattox Dog Training was exactly what we were hoping for. Not only did she learn all the obedience commands, we also learned how to keep her nutrition levels high and she got a lot of practice with grooming. Her confidence improved and we can see a big difference already. She was well loved during our time away from us and we are happy to have our obedient dog back in our home.”
Brian Hope
“Our dog Larry went to Mattox as an anxious puppy following an altercation with another dog. After 12 weeks at training he has matured, learned manners, and has been great with other dogs. Not only did they work on training they improved his hygiene while treating him as part of their own family. At the end of his training they provided an excellent turn over training with us to continue working with him at home. Having young kids, this training has helped our family function better. We would recommend this training academy!”
Rachel Baker
“Chance and Mary are absolutely amazing. They love what they do and it shows. I felt comfortable leaving all 3 of my dogs with them and the results are amazing. I can now walk all 3 dogs together with easy and NO pulling. And when I needed more training Chance was available to provide that for me and Princess. She was super excited to see him again. That assures me they took very good care of them. Thank you Mattox Dog Academy! Take your dog there you will not regret it.”

“Chance and his team are amazing. My dog went to training because she was aggressive and attacked another dog. They were able to work with her over the span of 4 months to ensure she was able to control her aggression as well as calm her anxiety. I would recommend for anyone having troubles with their dog or simply wanting them to behave better.”
Kennedy Storaci
“The staff are amazing. We have taken 3 dogs to them for training. They are caring, experienced, and patient. Chance and Mary take the time to answer all your questions and concerns. My dogs are well cared for in their care and treated like family. I highly recommend them for all your training needs.”
Shannon Novakovich
“Literally saved our pups life. Once done with the 12 week training our dogs anxiety issues and slight aggression was manageable but we also understood how to approach our dog long-term and now 2 years later she’s one of the best dogs I could ever hope for. We tried other places before here and to say the least we were extremely disappointed.”
Andrew Webster
“Amazing! I’ve never met a group of people so dedicated to their cause. Their program is proven and produces amazing dogs. I would recommend MDTA to anyone looking for a top notch dog! I’m very lucky to have a pup that graduated from their training program.”

“I received a service dog through mattox and it has saved my life. When I thought there was nothing left I met Mary and Chance. The dogs they provide to first responders are the best. Thank you guys for giving me my life back.”

“Mattox Dog Training Academy, works with so many difficult dogs and hyper dogs, which one of them happened to be our Golden Retriever. Mattox Dog Training doesn’t just train civilian dogs but also train dogs for our veterans. They have such a passion for what they do and care about each and every dog. If you support our veterans then also support Mattox Dog Training Academy for the wonderful work they do and they lives they have changed and saved. Thank you and God bless.”
Patricia Ponte
“My partner and I were at the point where we felt held hostage by our dog. We could not have anyone over and walks were something we avoided because they were a nightmare due to reactivity. I knew about Mattox as a friend had taken their dog there and I was impressed at their ability to take the dog on walks off leash. They reassured us leading up to the drop-off, which helped us feel comfortable leaving our boy with them. We are amazed with the dog we got back. The staff at Mattox have provided a foundation to build a great life for our dog. I would recommend them to anyone looking to set their best friend up for success”
Adam Kester
“Both of my dogs were trained this spring with Chance. The difference has been transformational. Both dogs posed challenges that their time at Maddox helped to address, creating foundational skills for the dogs and me to continue using and improving on at home.”
Mary Jane Keffer
“I heard about Mattox from a friend, and I was beyond impressed already. I sent my German Shepard/Malamute to them roughly 6 months after adopting Apollo, and I was worried I’d get a different dog back. I was very wrong, he came back home the same happy go-lucky boy he was just with a mature mind. He has amazing leash manners, greats “downs”, and just an overall happier, calmer dog.
McKenzie Lookabill
“Mattox Dog Training Academy helped our German Shepherd become a part of the family again! Our dog, Zander, started having separation anxiety. He would not kennel, and tried to eat doors and walls if we left the house. Thanks to MDTA he now kennels beautifully, listens to commands, walks well on leash, is friendly to other dogs, and is a great addition to our family! Mary and Chance love the animals they work with and it shows!“
Sarah Flieger
“I sent my 9yr old Husky mix, I had hoped he could come home with the training of being able to walk by a dog with out lunging. What I got was so much more! He can now be around dogs with out a care in the world, he walks on a leash with out pull, he recalls amazing. I am so thankful for Chance and Mary for taking the time to teach this old dog some new tricks.“
