Testimonials

  • "Karl was fantastic! He worked with my reactive Chihuahua, Tuna, and provided exactly the tools I needed. In just 5 sessions, we made significant progress and she's no longer barking at the front door as much, which was a major issue. Karl’s approach gave me confidence that we can continue improving Tuna's behavior using the techniques he taught us. Highly recommend for anyone with a reactive small dog!​"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • "Old dogs can learn new tricks if you put in the effort and hire Karl to help! Karl helped me train my 8yr dog an advanced training technique that’d I’d been wanting to do for so long. My dog can now bring me the leash in order to take a walk and he does it with such joy and ambition! Karl also helped me teach him to stay focused on me during a walk so that he and I are able to work as a team. I loved the private home package option and appreciated the homework that I had to do between each lesson."

  • "Working with Karl was so helpful for my dog who was previously trained but experiencing some anxiety after some stressful situations. He is so much more settled, acclimatized and acting like himself again. I cannot express enough how thankful we are to the Mutts & Munch team for their amazing guidance, love and care with my pup!"New List Item

  • "Mahalia and Karl were fantastic with our new puppy, Goose! We did in-home private trainings so our whole family including our daughter could participate. They were both so kind, patient and clear with the training skills. They were very understanding when our daughter got distracted during training and stayed patient with her. They both have such a positive attitudes and sweet dispositions with dogs. They showed great professionalism and were on time for appointments. I look forward to continuing to work with them as we may need tune-ups for our dog as he ages. Highly recommend using Mutts and Munch for your training needs!"

  • "We enrolled our pug in a 6-week training course with Mahalia when he turned a year old, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She didn’t just train our dog—she taught US how to properly train him, which made all the difference. We were able to correct some behaviors while also building a strong foundation with basic training. The experience was incredibly valuable and something we’ll carry with us for the rest of our pup’s life. If you have a puppy, I highly recommend reaching out to Mutts n Munch for their basic training classes. Totally worth it!"New List Item
