Millie was lucky enough recently to have Uncle Matty make a house call for her two dogs, Parker, a yellow lab, and Baily, a golden retriever. When asked how quickly she saw results in her dogs with Uncle Matty, Millie's reply was "Instantly"! Millie saw Uncle Matty's "magical" canine connection first hand when he recently paid a visit to her and helped train "her" and her dogs with her doggy issues, using his "Love, Praise and Affection" training.

And isn't necessarily a bad idea. Necessarily. Read more on Dogs, Cats, and Other People by Matthew Margolis.
