ABOUT
Our Dog Training services are designed to be fun and effective so you and your dog enjoy training. We offer a variety of training options to fit your needs, whether you want lessons on how to train your dog yourself or if you want to have your dog trained for you we can help.
In any of our training options we believe it is equally important for the owner to be educated, as well as the dogs. When the owners are educated along with their dogs they are better able to work out the little bumps in the road that inevitably come up.
TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
My approach emphasizes positive reinforcement. Earning rewards for behavior (not long term bribery) is a safe, fun and quick way for dogs to learn new behaviors. Using food, toys or affection as a reward for your dog helps to foster a great relationship and helps to keep dogs motivated to do the tasks we ask of them.
​
I also use discipline when necessary. We can’t always expect that a dog will want to earn our reward more than chasing a cat or squirrel. When discipline is needed it should be done at the lowest level possible while providing the effect needed to discourage the undesired behavior.

"Wow, our dog went to boot camp with Pat and came back eager to learn more. I can't say enough about how important this kind of jumpstart is for training a dog."

I've never felt more connected or in control of my pet. The park classes were my absolute favorite.
