Patience Inspired Dog Training is a family-run facility established in 2012 in Coventry, Rhode Island, offering professional, positive reinforcement-based dog training for dogs of all ages. They provide a range of services including obedience group classes, private training, virtual training, therapy dog evaluations, and fun specialty classes like “Deck the Paws” and puppy manners. Their training approach is science-based, using learning theory and behavioral modification to address issues like anxiety, reactivity, and aggression. They emphasize creating a calm, supportive environment where both dogs and owners build lasting skills and confidence. The facility also features an enrichment room and a live feed of fainting goats, adding a unique, welcoming atmosphere. Trainers are praised for their patience, clarity, and ability to tailor methods to individual dogs and owners.

They serve multiple communities across Rhode Island including Warwick, Coventry, East Greenwich, West Warwick, Providence, Cranston, Narragansett, South County, and Newport. Their group classes are closed groups with fixed start and end dates to ensure consistency and reduce disruptions. They offer training packages for beginner, intermediate, and advanced obedience, with AKC CGC testing available in advanced classes.

In addition to training, they provide gift certificates, vaccination and waiver forms, and registration paperwork for enrollment. They also offer a live feed of fainting goats and host seasonal events like Santa photos.

The business is not a breeder, groomer, walker, or boarding facility, but focuses exclusively on training and behavioral support.
