What our Clients Say
A miracle. This will be probably the shortest review because I am genuinely still lost for words. We had a 3 days train and stay for a number of issues , the main being dog reactivity and fighting between 2 of our 4 dogs . Having tried a behaviourist before , we really didn’t hold out much hope and it was a last chance before we had to rehome one . ONE DAY was all it took for a huge improvement in reactivity , and within 3 days we’ve had all 4 dogs calmly in the same room with not a murmur of tension . Genuinely the best thing we’ve ever done . Matts no nonsense , simple language approach really has changed our lives in 3 days . Truly , thank you.

Just back from a 3 day Train & Stay and words can’t describe how thankful I am for Matt & Em. Firstly, Phoebe the camper van was a dream. Warm & comfortable with everything needed for a couple of days.
The training from Matt was outstanding from start to finish. He explained everything really well, demonstrated, then gave constructive comments on my efforts to copy. I learned so much over the three days, and whilst I’m home exhausted, I know I now have the tools to correct my dog in the right way. Would absolutely recommend Sit Happens to anyone who needs help to help their dog.

Sit Happens Dog Traiming, have achieved what other behaviourists and trainers have failed to to do in a very short period of time.
I didn’t realise how much my German Shepherd reactivity had impacted my life; avoiding going out, shutting blinds and not wanting to go in the garden. In such a short period of time the communication has improved 1000% between myself and my GSD and we are enjoying new experiences together.
Finally I can’t thank Sit Happens enough
for showing me how to communicate with Boudica and we now have a great future ahead . Thank you

You have tried EVERYTHING and nothing works - trainers have let you down, online resources have let you down and you really need help.
Your dog drags you down the street and reacts to dogs, humans, a leaf or all of the above and more
You struggle with every day life and your dog is really getting you down. If the life you dreamed with your dog is not a reality
You just want to be able to enjoy everyday life with your dog and work with a trainer who trains for the real world with common sense training.
You feel anxious, embarressed and angry when you leave for or are on a walk
You want to be apart of the training, build on your dogs relationship with you, have your dog listen to you and for you to be able to manage the every day training we set out for you
What Owners like you are saying
"We've got to admit, we were skeptical that anyone could make a difference to our 7 year old rescue dog, Nelson. He was scarily reactive to other dogs and walks were becoming such a stressful thing we dreaded them.
Fast forward to a few days after our stay and train and Nelson is a different dog (and we're different dog owners).
On day 1 with Matt we could see a huge difference in Nelson just in the first half an hour or so - Matt certainly makes a great first impression!
He helped us to understand the psychology behind Nelson's behaviour and how we, as his humans, needed to show him we didn't need protection and we were in charge.
Matt is tough, but so effective - we knew how well our training had worked when we took Nelson for a walk in the park and he casually strolled past a Husky that he's always hated!
We can't recommend Matt highly enough if you've got a problem dog and you're willing to invest your time and effort into changing your processes."

We just completed a 3 day train and stay with Matt and it’s been unbelievably transformative. Matt is so knowledgeable, kind and patient.
In 3 days Matt achieved what I didn’t think was possible, he helped my nervous dog and I to become more confident.
My dog struggled with passing other dogs, growling at children and separation anxiety. By day 3 Matt had helped us tackle all three issues, my dog was confident on the lead, walking past children, other dogs and prams without growling or stopping. We also left my dog alone in the house for the first time (something I have not been able to do because of how distressed he got).
I highly reccomend contacting Matt if you are struggling with your dog, he has changed our lives. Thank you Matt!!

Matt, Emily and all 4 dogs were amazing!
We have two husky mix dogs which are lovely but both have bad manners and 1 could be reactive to certain dogs.
We had the 3day stay and train, we learned so much from Matt.
It’s been just over a week and our dogs are so much more well behaved and we are much more relaxed as Matt has taught us how to communicate with our dogs in a way they understand.
Matt was super friendly and patient with us we felt very comfortable learning around him.
We look forward to seeing them on the check up visit!

You’re not alone. So many dog owners face daily challenges, feeling lost, let down, and out of options after spending thousands on help that didn’t work. That’s exactly why Matt created this one-of-a-kind program.
This isn’t about quick fixes or sticking a bandage over the problem.
We’re asking for three full days—to completely transform life with your dog, in the real world where it matters most.
You’ll work intensively with dog reactivity specialist Matt across three powerful 1:1 days. Training happens where real life happens—in your home, on your walks, and in your community. Yes Matt travels to you, anywhere in the UK. And when life throws you curveballs later? You’ll have lifetime support to back you up.
Whether you’re a first-time owner feeling overwhelmed, or you’re dealing with complex behaviors like reactivity, fear, or aggression that others shy away from—you’re in the right place.
This isn’t residential training. You’re part of the process every step of the way. You’ll learn, lead, and grow alongside your dog, while building lasting results that actually stick.
Matt doesn’t just train your dog—he empowers you. With his four dogs by his side, he’ll guide you through hands-on, real-world training that creates breakthroughs fast.
Our 3-Day Transformative Program gives you the results of months of training—condensed into just three immersive days. It’s not theory, it’s not shortcuts—it’s the real change you’ve been searching for. All you need to do, is stay consistent with Matt's teachings and the life you imagined with your dog will happen.
If you're ready to take controll of your life again, let's make this happen together, then drop us a message and let's start.
If you want results we promise you we can get them you. Other Owners who have been struggling just like you have had the results you want.

Matt created this program to remove the faff, ditch the gimmicks, and focus entirely on what actually matters: you, your dog, and real-world training that builds real confidence.
Instead of practising in a bubble, Matt trains with you out in the real world, in real situations, so you feel 100% prepared—even when he’s not standing beside you.
With 20 years of experience, Matt has worked with thousands of dogs just like yours. But his real superpower? He’s spent those same 20 years focusing just as much on the humans holding the lead as the dogs on the other end.
He knows how to teach you in a way that feels clear, calm, and achievable. No gimmicks, no shortcuts—just honest, effective dog training that gives you the confidence to take the lead.
Matt progresses you step by step, only when you’re ready, adapting instantly to what you and your dog need in the moment. His experience is what allows him to help in ways that many trainers simply can’t.
If you’re ready to stop guessing, stop stressing, and start truly understanding what’s going on and how to change it, get in touch today.
Book a call with Matt and speak with a genuine expert who can cut out the noise and show you exactly what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how you can transform it—together.
This young family, with two young children & two dogs we're in the same boat as you! Their dog Max had even bitten a child previously whilst on holiday.......
We can enjoy our dogs again!!
Before Matt’s training life with our dogs had become overwhelming. Max was nervous and reactive around other dogs and people, and Milly (our 11 year old patterdale) had habits that although unintentional—were making his behaviour worse. Walks meant constant anxiety, and as owners we’d avoid other dogs entirely.
Managing this behaviour alongside three children, full-time jobs, and not knowing how to help them was exhausting. We felt helpless and stuck in a cycle we didn’t know how to break.
Fast forward to a 3 day train and stay with Matt…
…Matt didn’t just train the dogs—he trained us. He was extremely confident and he advocated for us and taught us how to advocate for our dogs when they needed it most. We learned how to help Max manage his nerves and consequently prevent reactivity, alongside how to stop Milly’s habits making things worse.
Following the training we have had a UK holiday which involved campsites, beaches, forest trails, and pubs— and there was zero stress and zero anxiety. Family and friends have commented on how much more relaxed and easy-going they have become.
The result -
We’ve gone from dread and anxiety to confidence and joy. Matt has completely changed the way we live with our dogs, which as a result will change our lives! We truly can’t thank him enough.
