What we’re about
World of Dogs is a heart centered, results-driven group focused on ensuring you and your dog walk away without being tied to a leash! We want to see you wagging your tail with excitement, confident in your ability to understand your pup and doggo so you can effectively communicate and enjoy each other to the fullest.
No more chasing Fido out of the house after he’s peed on the carpet… again! It’s time to teach your “good boy” how to be GREAT, something we’ve mastered at WOD – and something that you can master too!
Our approach to training continues to evolve with the most modern dog training techniques in the industry.
Head Trainer, Ryan Matthews (K-9 Mentalist), has been training dogs since 2002. He began his career in dog training with training and handling elite Military Working Dogs (MWDs). While in the Army, he performed bite protection training, bomb threat sweeps, secret service missions, and combat deployment to Iraq (with his MWD, Zito) where he worked with Special Forces and Infantry units. Dog Trainer Ryan Matthews has written books about dog training, been featured on two TEDx talks about dog behavior and appeared on many TV outlets (reality TV, talk shows and news) to discuss dog behavior and psychology.
With your continued participation in the group, you will not just be a dog owner, you will be a successful and confident dog handler. Trust us when we say, the difference truly is priceless! Not only will your pup be obedient off leash (even with distractions), you will be able to incorporate your dog into your lifestyle – hiking, enjoying time at your favorite café, even working at the office. And the real kicker? We will clear up common misconceptions about dog behavior by teaching you dog psychology.
Our meetings will consist of AMA (ask me anything) where you will be able to ask your dog training questions and have dog trainer Ryan Matthews with 18 years of experience training dogs answer your burning questions. In addition, some meet ups may consist of hands on live demonstrations of Ryan Matthews dog trainer working with your dog to help illustrate a point or to better explain an answer to a question.
If you are motivated to see results and an improvement in your dogs behavior once and for all then this group is for you. If you are tired and frustrated of trying everything without any results then this group is for you. Lastly, if you are willing to invest the time and effort it will take to turn your good dog into a great dog then this group is for you!
