Martin did an amazing job training our 3 year old corgi to eliminate leash reactivity and establish calm. We chose the 5 day board and train option and are very glad we did. Our dog was almost un-walkable before but now is calm and walks on a loose leash. We will be back for additional training events!

Our dog Kaia recently completed the Structurally Harmonious 5-Day Board and Train program with Martin, and the experience has been nothing short of life-changing, for both her and us. Kaia is a 5-year-old half frenchie/half Boston terrier, and while she’s always been sweet, she struggled with calming herself down, understanding boundaries, and she gets nervous about her body. After her time with Martin, she has the tools to calm herself down and stay calm. And we have the tools to assist her. She’s happier, more at ease, and as a result, our bond is stronger than ever. We find ourselves taking her more places. Also Martins training techniques naturally are infused in our day to day activities so it been easy and fun to stay on top of the trainings. I’ve always been hesitant about leaving Kaia overnight somewhere, but after meeting Martin, that changed immediately. From our very first interaction, I knew he was the right person for her and someone we could trust. Martin is one of the kindest, most passionate, calm, and genuinely caring people I’ve ever met. Endlessly grateful!!

We did the 1 week board and train with Martin for our 8mo golden retriever Maggie and we are so happy that we did!! Walking Maggie is such a better experience following the training, and it's incredible how well mannered she is after just a week. Martin is excellent to work with and we look forward to working with him more in the future.

We did the 1 week board and train at Argos with Martin and had the BEST experience. We also did his puppy kindergarten program when Finn was a puppy and really enjoyed his attention to the pups and the proper introduction to socialization it provided. The board and train has also been incredible. Martin provides us with the knowledge and support we need to continue to train and help Finn be a well mannered dog. During the 1 week board and train Martin posted daily videos showing what he was working on which we really appreciated. We are planning to continue our relationship with Martin at Argos and be part of the weekly pack walks and other training classes he provides. Would recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Martin! He trained our dog, Millie, for five days and four nights, and the progress she made was incredible. Every day, he sent us video updates explaining the training methods he was using, which made it easy for us to understand and reinforce her new skills at home. No dog is going to have a dramatic change in five days. As Martin will explain it takes time and continuous patience and repetition - But Millie was noticeably, listening and understanding manners better than when she began. Martin provided us the start/ tools in order for us to have a well mannered, calm dog. What really sets Martin apart is his ongoing support—he has his own website where you can connect with him and ask questions even after training is complete. It’s clear he truly cares about both the dogs he trains and their owners. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated trainer, I highly recommend Martin!
