It's easy to think that online training couldn't possibly work. But here's the truth. Most trainers focus on training the dog. Instead of focusing on you. So when the trainer isn't around, your dog starts to falls right back into the chaos. My system fixes that. I teach you the exact step-by-step skills, and daily habits to transform everything, from the ground, up. Once you change, your dog has no choice but to follow.

When you think of taking your dog out for a walk... how do you feel? Tense, anxious and probably panicked, and that's before you even step outside... forget about when you see another dog!
You see, to be honest, dog training isn't really about the dog.
IT'S ABOUT YOU.
YOU CAN DISARM THE BOMB (DOG)
For the past 20 years I have been training the human behind the dog.
In a nutshell, I have studied the dog and the human, testing and perfecting what works, what doesn't, allowing me to create the system that I personally use everyday.
AND NOW I'VE PUT IT INTO THIS COURSE.
So what is this system. Well it's very simple and can be covered in a few sentences.
Whatever we say, we then do (following through)
We lead with the energy we want the dog to be (usually calm)
If we are correcting, does your dog look corrected?
We proactively train, not reactively train.
So what does all the mean???
"Whatever we say, we then do (following through)" - If I say I’ll meet you at the pub every week at 6pm, and I’m always there on time with your drink, you’ll trust my word. But if I’m late or don’t show, soon my promise means nothing. That’s what happens with our dogs, we repeat commands without following through, so they learn to ignore us. I teach you how to stop this.
"We lead with the energy we want the dog to be (usually calm)" - If your child ran in panicking, you’d calm them with slow, soft words, leading with the calm energy you want them to follow. But if you joined their panic and hyperventilated too, it would only escalate. That’s exactly what we do with our dogs... and it’s madness. I'll teach you how to stop doing this.
"If we are correcting, does your dog look corrected?" - If you told your child off and they didn’t care, the lesson wouldn’t land and they’d never learn right from wrong. That’s what happens with our dogs too. Most owners don’t correct properly, so bad behaviours grow, frustration builds, and outbursts get worse Again, I'll teach you how to stop this dead in it's tracks.
"We proactively train, not reactively train" - When you try to stop your dog’s bad behaviour in the heat of the moment, panic takes over and chaos erupts. That’s daily life for many owners. The fix? Set up simple, controlled sessions that tackle each issue step by step, and simply accept the uncontrolled scenarios for what they are... uncontrolled and out of our current skill set... until we are ready for them. I'll teach you how to do all of this step-by-step as well as when you're ready to do it anytime and anywhere.
------------------------------
The aim of my training has always been to teach you what to do and how to do it. To make YOU the leader, nothing else. When you become the leader, you can do anything with your dog. Until that point, you're just bribing, begging, avoiding or panicking.
This Step-by-Step Course solves every single issue that causes Dog Reactivity from the ground up. It truly is the answer you have been looking for. 20 years of results has created it.

Look, I get it. There are dog trainers everywhere now. Courses galore. What makes this one different, and what will make it work for you?
Why do "experts" talk in complicated jargon? It drives me mad. I want anyone and everyone to be able to understand without having to have a PHD in dog psychology and training. I teach in simple, plain english.
I've trained people and their dogs for 20 years. A lot of those dogs were incredibly difficult to train (and so were some of the people - just being honest here!). Those years have taught me what works and what doesn't - consistently. Across the board. For the dog and for you.
Since when did we all go insane? When did it suddenly become a terrible thing to actually simply teach right from wrong. To actually correct bad behaviour, and reward good behaviour. Not just throw chicken at every issue, and begging and pleading with your dog to listen. If you want to take back control, it's not rocket science. I can teach you.
I've bought lots of courses myself. All promising Step-by-Step, only to miss out 7 steps! I will not leave you hanging, whilst learning from a video and thinking, "but how do I do that bit he just did there?"
Absolutely, everything, is truly Step-by-Step.
You can here this a lot these days... "Join a community of people just like you!" *Insert cheesy grin and jazz hands*. But the truth is, everyone on my online platform is working through or has worked through dog reactivity. In all its different forms. So they really are like you (they also thought they couldn't fix it)
Here's a secret that shouldn't be a secret. Dog Training is NOT about training the dog. It's actually about teaching you. If I just train your dog, your dog will to respond to me, and not erupt at other dogs when I have them. Great! They will still ignore you and erupt at dogs with you though! So what's the point? So I teach you, step-by-step, on what actually makes the difference between your dog not kicking off and listening to you, and the utter chaos you are probably experiencing right now.
If you had a friend, a really close friend, that constantly promised lots of things and barely ever delivered. Or another way of saying it would be to say, they never followed through. Would you trust their word? Listen to their advice or instruction with confidence? Neither will your dog. So I focus on getting you to be the person that follows through on what they say to their dog. The little things count.

I’m not usually one for writing reviews but in this case it’s a MUST.
Sit Happens Online platform starting was perfect timing for me & Pippa.
It really is something special, not only because of all the content… there really is a lot of valuable information, but also because it’s bringing together like minded dog owners who just want their dogs living their best lives and also to support each other. Sit Happens has so much to offer and I’m constantly coming across something new, it’s so full of training videos from either just Matt or with their clients from all over the country. It is literally step by step, and it’s always being added to. Most importantly…… it’s fun & supportive, Matt is ALWAYS there to help
Thank you guys, just amazing.
- Joanne & Pippa (Rossendale)
Matt truly understood our situation and was non-judgemental, patient and understanding.
Their Online Platform 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 their platform.
2) In house training - I’ve personally benefitted from the greeting visitors tutorials of this section as River can become highly excited when we have visitors around. This section also shows you how to stop your dog from barking at the door when someone/ visitors knock.
Their community is 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.”
- Josh & River (Bristol)
I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have found this dog training platform and community. I am a first time dog owner and was finding the amount of information available online, in person training, and even another training course I had bought very overwhelming and not completely applicable to my own dog. It was all a bit generic and unrealistic for real life.
It’s only been a few days but I already feel so much more confident and relaxed with our wonderful puppy. I’m truly enjoying her in a way I haven’t been able to up til now. Thank you so much for all the content, which is so clear and easy to follow, and Matt explains things in a way that makes me believe in the process. It’s also such a reassurance to know that you can ask questions of a knowledgeable, supportive and non-judgemental community and also get personalised advice directly from Matt. I feel like I can breathe a huge sigh of relief and just trust that I have a plan that I can build upon every day. A long way to go… but so so happy to be here

Understand the real reasons your dog is reactive, why most advice is bulls**t, how you’ve been focusing on the wrong things, and how to start changing it all today.
Learn the 80/20 rule to save hours of training, build genuine confidence, shift from panic to calm awareness, and harness the ripple effect to gain momentum.
Stop the confusion of leads, collars, and harnesses. Discover the right gear for your dog, as well as how to fit and use the equipment properly. Plus, master the #1 dog training technique.
The 3 commands you really need to make everything else fall into place. Learn how to teach, use, and apply them daily to build a foundation stronger than dried Weetabix on a bowl.
Learn the different types of effective rewards, and the one we all use daily but get totally wrong, sabotaging our training. Fixing it is simple (and truly game changing).
The Holy Grail of dog reactivity, learn how to teach and harness it. Tire out your dog without relying only on walks, and build a dog that can control themselves and their impulses.
No more of your dog suddenly becoming deaf. Learn the simple steps to be able to get them responding to their name, from the living room, to the dog park.
You’ll learn the crucial parts often missed in simple commands like Sit and Down, and how to use them in a way that’s genuinely effective for your dog reactivity.
Uncover the daily behaviours to build manners. Changing 'Give it to me now!' behaviour, into 'Please may I have it.' Without this, your dog wont respect you.
Start the walk the calm and controlled. Most people get this wrong. You’ll learn how to leave the house without your dog bolting out the door like a sprinter. No Wait Command Required!
Pulling your dog back 200 times only teaches them to fight harder 200 times. It’s pointless and counterproductive. In this module, you’ll learn the one technique that works every time, with every dog, to end lead pulling for good.
With every reactive dog, the biggest issue is owners not knowing how to correct properly. Most just hold their dogs back. I’ll show you how to correct the right way so the behaviour actually stops, plus a simple check to know it’s worked. No guesswork here!
If your dog is reacting to knocks on the door, the ring of the door bell, or passers by, then we need to practice everything we have learnt here in a fully controllable situation to practice our new skills and perfect them. That's exactly what I teach you in this module.
Everything so far has prepared you with the tools, techniques, manners, and mindset to tackle reactivity. In this module, I’ll walk you step by step through putting it all into action—passing dog after dog, without eruptions.
After all your hard work, it’s time to make friends. Follow a simple step-by-step system to calmly socialise your dog and walk happily beside others—the same system our whole community uses.
This course is designed for anyone that has a dog reactive dog. I have structured it to get anyone from any level of training, with any level of reactivity, to a calm, neutral walk.
Absolutely. As long as you actually follow the step-by-step system. It's been made this way so it can work for everyone.
Face to face training with me has very long wait times. Usually 4+ months in advance. You can start this training instantly. Face to face I can 100% get you results quicker. Of course I can. I would be lying if I said otherwise. But you have to wait over 4 months to get them quicker. Kind of defeats the purpose. That's literally why I built this course and community.
No. This is for anyone around the world with a dog reactive dog.
Yes I am in the community and answering training support questions daily.
