Two Mansfield men have launched a new residential dog training programme in Mansfield.

Matt Clark and Justin Sheppard say they have a passion for revolutionising the industry and want to make a difference with Next Level Dog Training.

They aim to address a wide range of dog training needs, including obedience, behaviour modification, and scent work.

With a particular focus on dog reactivity and fear-based behaviours, the dog trainers pledge to embrace the challenge of working with dogs that others may shy away from.

Matt, a seasoned detection dog handler, has a military background, having served alongside the police and customs officials.

Justin, who has a professional background at Google, has always had a deep-rooted love for dogs. Inspired by seeing the harmonious partnership between professional handlers and their canine companions, Justin said he had embarked on a quest to become an exceptional dog trainer.

Both have the nationally-recognised NASDU Level 2 Award for a general purpose security dog handler as well as other relevant qualifications.

The duo said their residential dog training programme offered a unique opportunity for Mansfield residents to embark on a journey of transformation with their four-legged companions.

“We are here to support clients every step of the way, overcoming even the most seemingly-insurmountable obstacles,” Matt and Justin added.

“Next Level Dog Training is a pioneering force in the field of residential dog training, dedicated to revolutionising the way dogs are trained. We offer comprehensive programmes, tailored to meet the unique needs of every dog, helping them reach their full potential and live harmoniously with their human companions.”
