My 4-Week Hybrid Board & Train Gets Your Dog Non Reactive on Walks and Calm in Your Home, Guaranteed.

10+ Years Experience

Only 2 spots available per month

Does This Sound Familiar?

Your walks are a constant battle of pulling, lunging, and barking at other dogs or people.

The moment the doorbell rings, it's a mad dash of barking and jumping.

Evenings are anything but relaxing, with a dog that simply won't settle.

You've watched countless YouTube videos and tried cheap group classes with no results.

You're starting to feel embarrassed by your dog's behaviour.

The thought of rehoming your dog has crossed your mind.

You love your dog, but the reality of living with them is a constant source of stress and frustration. You dream of those idyllic family walks on the beach, but the reality is a stressful, arm-yanking ordeal. You're not asking for a perfectly obedient show dog; you just want a calm, well-behaved companion that you can enjoy life with. You're not alone in this, and it's not your fault.

The Calm Home Integration Program

I've designed a unique 4-week board and train program specifically for busy families like yours. This isn't a traditional "send your dog away and hope for the best" kennel. Your dog lives with me in a real home environment, learning the skills they need to be a calm, well-mannered member of your family.

What makes my approach different is the hybrid model. Your dog spends weekdays with me, then comes home to you for the weekends. This is where the magic happens. You get to practice the new skills in your own home, with my guidance and feedback. This ensures the training sticks, long after the program is over.

Week 1: Foundations

I build the foundation for a calm, focused dog. This includes teaching them to settle on their place, hand-feeding to build food drive, and installing markers to create clear communication with your dog.

Week 2: Core Control

I install the core behaviours you need for a well-behaved dog. This includes reliable recall, a solid door protocol to prevent door dashing, and the ability to settle in the evening.

Week 3/4: Real World Application

I proof the behaviours in real-world scenarios. This means calm walks past other dogs and people, and handling daily family chaos.

Owner Handover & Support

I don't just hand you the lead and say good luck. Dedicated handover sessions at my home, plus 30 days of WhatsApp support to ensure lasting results.

Picture This…

Enjoying a peaceful evening at home, with your dog settled calmly at your feet.

Walking your dog on your favourite beach, confident in their behaviour. Finishing your walk at your favourite pub, surrounded by dogs and enjoying a relaxing post walk pint with zero stress!

What Our Clients Say

"Before Matt, our walks were a nightmare. Our cockapoo, Buddy, would lunge at everything. Now, we can actually enjoy our walks on the Gower. It's been life-changing."

The Jones Family

Swansea

From lunging at every dog to walking calmly on a loose lead.

"I was at my wit's end with our Labrador, Max. He was just so over-the-top. The hybrid program was perfect for us. We learned so much on the weekends, and Matt was always there to help."

Sarah P.

Swansea

From a chaotic house to a calm, settled dog in the evenings.

"The best investment we've ever made for our family. Our Golden Retriever, Daisy, is like a different dog. We can finally have people over without the stress."

The Williams Family

Swansea

From door-dashing and jumping to greeting guests calmly.

There's a Better Way to Train Your Dog

Traditional Approach

Sends your dog to a kennel with 10+ other dogs, leading to stress and anxiety.

Uses a one-size-fits-all approach, ignoring your dog's individual needs.

Hands you the lead at the end of the program with little to no follow-up support.

Focuses on flashy obedience that doesn't translate to real-world situations.

My Approach

Your dog lives in a real home environment, with a maximum of one other dog.

I create a personalised training plan based on your dog's specific challenges and your family's goals.

My hybrid model with weekend homework and 30-day support ensures the training sticks.

I focus on practical, real-world skills that make your life easier and more enjoyable.

Is This Program Right For You?

This IS for you if…

You're a busy Swansea family with a high-energy dog that's causing stress and chaos.

You're committed to putting in the work on the weekends to ensure the training lasts.

You value a personalized, one-on-one approach over a crowded group class.

You're ready to invest in a long-term solution, not a quick fix.

You want to enjoy off-leash freedom with your dog on the beautiful Gower Peninsula.

This is NOT for you if…

You're looking for a cheap, quick fix and aren't willing to put in the effort.

Your dog has a history of severe aggression or biting.

Your dog's only issue is separation anxiety.

You're looking for a sport or competition-focused training program.

You're not open to using a variety of training tools and methods.

What You Can Leave Behind

The constant pulling and lunging on walks.

The embarrassing barking and jumping when guests arrive.

The stress and frustration of a dog that won't settle.

The guilt and worry of not knowing how to help your dog.

Wasting any more time and money on solutions that don't work.

The fear of your dog running off and not coming back.

I focus on building a strong, positive relationship between you and your dog, so you can enjoy a lifetime of adventures together. No more quick fixes or empty promises.

I'm Matt Evans, and I Know How You Feel

My journey into dog training wasn't a choice; it was a necessity. My first dog, a Doberman, was my best friend. But I was young, and I didn't know what I didn't know about training. One day, he ran out into the road and was killed. It was a direct result of my inability to train a reliable recall.

That day changed my life. I vowed to never let that happen again, to myself or to anyone else. I dived headfirst into the world of dog training, learning everything I could from the best in the business. I spent time as a professional protection dog handler and decoy in one of the most well established companies in the UK. During this time I learnt from some incredibly experienced trainers and worked with some of the most powerful and challenging dogs in the country.

Now, with over 10 years of experience in different aspects of dog training, I've dedicated my life to helping families build a better relationship with their dogs. I know the pain and frustration you're feeling, and I know how to help you get to the other side.

My approach is simple, effective, and built for the real world. I'm not here to judge you or your dog. I'm here to give you the tools and support you need to create a calm, happy home for your entire family.
