Matt Beisner

Matt Beisner believes that dogs come into our lives to teach us very specific lessons. And he should know. He needed plenty of them, just to stay alive. Beisner, the worst kept secret in Los Angeles by dog lovers and dog rescuers - is the founder of THE ZEN DOG. His methods are like no other. Using no tricks, treats, commands, force or food, Beisner delivers results that are nothing short of miraculous. World-renowned animal behaviorist Dr. Ian Dunbar called Beisner's approach "the cutting edge of dog training." Through his work, Beisner shares his deeply personal journey, finding redemption and purpose in dealing every day with the two things he feared most: himself and dogs. In these life changes, Beisner came to understand that every relationship, especially that which you have with your dog, only works if it's based on respect, trust and love. Beisner gets to practice all three with his wife, Brooklin, their three-year-old son, their baby on the way and the remarkable dogs that bless their home.
