Testimonials
“I thought our two-year-old rescue pup was untrainable. After training with Pat, Otis leash walks like a pro and has less anxiety at home. Turns out, you can teach an old dog new tricks!.”
– Jake F.
“I learned dog training is just as much about training the owner. Pat completely changed our mindset on how to train our pet. We saw results with Otis after the first session.”
– Jess N.
“I was worried after Fin was kicked out of his puppy play program. Pat’s program restored my faith that I had a good boy. Now I have the knowledge to be a great dog dad and Fin has progressed to be an amazing pup.”
– Bryan B.
