My business is called Karen London Dog Behavior, LLC. I primarily work with people whose dogs have serious behavioral issues (especially aggression), though I also do general training. I am committing a considerable amount of time now to writing--books, blogs, articles--so I am seeing fewer clients than usual.

Hi! My name is Mattison and I am a certified dog trainer located in the Flagstaff, AZ region. I graduated from Animal Behavior College in 2019 and since then have had many different clients in Flagstaff and Phoenix. I have worked under multiple different dog trainers in Arizona, have worked at a pet store, and a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I am always learning new things to stay up to date on methods, dog health, etc. I consider myself a balanced trainer because I use whatever tool works best for that dog. Each dog is an individual and needs to be trained accordingly. I have become an expert on anxiety reform and dog confidence building, helping owners navigate how to help their dog.
