Way's we can help you
We booked onto a train and stay with Matt at Sit Happens HQ just over a year ago. Matt provided us with the knowledge, techniques and correct tools to show and allow us to address Rivers reactivity to dogs and cars.
Matt truly understood our situation and was non-judgemental, patient and understanding.
The rest of the team, Emily and Ricky are also amazing! Emily is always super positive and Ricky is also amazing at his job.
Buddy Up! wow, where do I even start? This is their online platform and is an absolute game changer! Just to touch on a couple of things that have helped us since having the online support;
1) Flirt pole tutorials - This has helped build on Rivers impulse control / prey drive, as well as giving her a fun outlet that tires her out! Matt breaks all training down into easy to follow, step by step videos. This goes for everything on Buddy Up.
2) In house training - I’ve personally benefited from the greeting visitors tutorials of this section as River can become highly excited when we have visitors around. I’ve definitely noticed she is able to manage her arousal/ excitement levels a lot better with guests since implementing the training and scenarios that Matt shows you, in order to set your dog up for the most success as possible. This section also shows you how to stop your dog from barking at the door when someone/ visitors knock.
You’ll have access to so many other useful features / tutorials/ guides, such as dog body language, previous 1-2-1’s and train and stays, using play as part of your training. There’s also a section where you can post to meet up with others who are at similar points in their training to allow you and your dog to progress and train in a safe manner.
Buddy Up has quickly become a community full support. You can post questions, messages and short video updates. This is truly a judgment free community who are all supportive of each other. You’ll also be able to post questions for Matt, who will be there to assist you. I’m hoping to join a meet up in the new year and look forward to seeing the community grow larger and further afield.
Work with Matt today in your home & around your schedule!
"Hi, just wanted to drop a message and say this app is incredible. I have been doing the foundation courses and for the first time I’ve been able to have someone in the house doing some work and Pablo is just sat at the side of me no barking. This may seem like something small but to me this is a huge achievement and it’s only from using the markers yes and no. I can’t wait to further this training"
