Testimonial
"Hi Matt, Bosco is acting like he did when he was young. He took two pieces of food out of my hand today and he's moving around the cage like he hasn't done in a long time. Everything is going great!"

Why choose Matt?
Matt Has been a professional animal trainer since 1994. He uses the method of training usually referred to as "Positive Reinforcement". In positive reinforcement training, the animal is NEVER told "no", put in "time out", or punished. The animal is only rewarded for desired behaviors. Another term for his training method is "Operant Learning". This term comes from the fact that the animal is the operator. The animal can choose to participate or not. Follow the link for above for a more in depth explanation.
Matt has trained a wide variety of animals from parrots, hawks, eagles, owls, and falcons to rats, squirrels, servals, caracals, porcupines, sheep, foxes, rhino's and elephants.
