Welcome to Montana Murray Kennels! We are dedicated to providing effective and personalized dog training services to help you and your furry friend bond and live happily ever after. Ron Murray has been training dogs since 2005 and has developed techniques that work! We teach affection-based training. This is using affection for reward instead of a treat-based program, let's face it, when it comes down to it, you and I want our dogs to listen to US, not for a food based reward. Now don't get us wrong, we love our treats, but you shouldn't have to give Fido a biscuit for sitting, or a cookie for coming.
Unlike most trainers, we (the MMK team) have developed what works for you and your dog, (other than standard operating procedure) but at the same time we must be willing to work with our client's and find new and exciting ways if the old true and blue doesn't work. We hope you find this site useful, whether you are a first time dog owner or just looking for something fresh and out of the ordinary. We invite you to contact us either by e-mail or calling, we guarantee that we will make time to discuss any questions you may have.
Thanks for the great class!! We learned a lot about our parenting styles and that praise and consistency go along way rather than yelling. We know our dog has the potential to be a great dog and look forward to some advanced classes once trigger has mastered the beginner course.

Good training especially since we didn't use any food rewards or clickers. We both (dog and I) liked to come and looked forward to it. We liked the walk around town and going to the store, good experience for dog and handler. Training helped to build confidence as a handler. Thanks - D. Dolan
At the first meeting Ron suggested we buy a special training collar. I declined, but had a difficult time trying to get my puppy to obey me. At the next lesson I bought the collar and what a difference that made! Now she obeys my command. Ron was patient with all the dogs and owners, he knows what he is doing with these 5 week classes. Thank You - J. Haukebo
I have enjoyed this class so much. Frankie has improved each week and most importantly she has respect for me and my voice. I am glad this is ‘no treats’ training. Everything you teach is very similar to how I train my horses. It was fun to see you have your daughter in class. Just further proof that it can be done by anyone. I wonder what would come next?

We began training our puppy on our own but felt that we needed some help to get it right. Ron’s methods work and it is fun. We feel very confident about how we are handling our pup and she is behaving more like a confident dog. Thanks Ron!

I like that the training is not clicker or treat based and I have had the most success in this class of any I’ve taken. Queen even worked on leash with his regular collar at Snowfall today and is pulling much less, and sometimes not at all. I had forgot to bring the prong collar. He is listening to me more - not 100% - it’s only been 5 weeks. Thank you so much.
