What to Expect

Dog Training 101: What to Expect

Class Times and Dates:

• Please use the new customer portal to sign up and schedule your obedience training or specialty training for any additional information you can call or email
• Your dog will stay with us for 8-12 weeks. 
• During that time, we will reset destructive behaviors using the Mattox Method. 
• By living away from their owners in a farm-like environment, the dogs will encounter a structured lifestyle that will cause them to adapt to our loving and ordered lifestyle. 
• We will treat your dog as if they were our own. In our house, the dogs always come first. 
• We will exercise, groom, and ensure your dog receives the best nutrition while staying with us.

What We Expect From You:

• We require the first four weeks to be paid upfront. 
• Please be on time. If you cannot make a lesson, let us know, and we can reschedule. 
• Listen to our instructions and follow all our directions strictly.

Materials You Will Need:

• We will make an individualized plan specific to your dog's needs.

Nutrition And Health:

• Before a dog comes to us, we must ensure the dog is in good health and up to date on shots. 
• Nutrition is a critical factor in the health and training of a dog. We use raw meat, homemade supplements, vitamins, and minerals at Mattox Dog Training Academy. 
• You must provide dry food, and canned dog goods, for your dog, and we will provide the rest. 

Follow Up:

• Two weeks after the training, some dogs may need to come back for a follow-up. We can work on anything you need, and we will clarify any issues arising after you return home. 
• This follow-up visit is included in the cost of training.
