I am incredibly grateful for Pat and the services he provided through Pat’s Pack. He was extremely helpful with our dog and took the time to carefully review all of the information we shared before providing a thoughtful and accurate assessment. What I appreciated most was his ability to help us better understand our dog’s behavior, breed characteristics, and the reasons behind some of the things we were seeing. His thorough approach gave us a much clearer understanding of our dog and helped us feel more confident moving forward. Pat is knowledgeable, patient, and clearly very talented at what he does. His assessment felt personal and specific to our dog rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I truly appreciate his time, expertise, and genuine care. I highly recommend Pat’s Pack to anyone looking to better understand their dog.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Pat’s Pack Dog Training! 🐾 When Ziggy first went to Pat’s Pack for his 3-week board and train, he had a lot of anxiety and lacked so much confidence that he wouldn’t even walk on a leash. Watching his transformation has been incredible. He now listens to commands like sit, place, and stay, and he walks and heels amazingly on a leash! Ziggy still has some anxiety to this day, but Pat helped him make HUGE improvements with his confidence and taught him skills that have made such a difference in his everyday life. I truly believe Pat saw Ziggy for who he was and took the time to understand him, rather than just trying to train him. Pat is genuinely one of the kindest, most caring, and authentic people I have ever met. It is so obvious how much he truly cares about the dogs he works with and wants the absolute best for them. I never once felt like Ziggy was just another dog in his care—I knew he was being loved, understood, and cared for. Sending Ziggy to Pat’s Pack was 100% worth every penny, and I would recommend Pat to anyone looking for a dog trainer. We are so thankful for everything he has done for Ziggy and for the confidence he helped him build. We couldn’t be happier with the results! 🤍🐶

We are so grateful to Pat! We did a 3 week board and train for our Mexico rescue dog that was stubborn and hard for us to train. Pat was patient with us on our initial discovery call and answered all of our questions giving us the confidence that he was the guy for the job. Pat taught us a lot about different training tools and techniques that have worked well for us and Cooper. Cooper came back a different dog from his board and train which was such a relief to us because we were having a very hard time with him. We did some traveling and I think we unintentionally created confusion for Cooper in keeping up with our training and had a little set back. But Pat was on it with us, came to our house for a refresher session, met us at the dog park to see how he does in high distraction areas and ultimately, helped us pivot our plan a bit that we were all comfortable with. And it was effective immediately! Pat also recommended going on structured pack walks which we immediately started doing and I think it has helped boost his confidence. Cooper used to bark and lunge at dogs across the street. Now, we can take him out in public, to breweries and coffee shops and it feels like he's a normal pup now. I even was able to take him out on a SUP with me. A lot of it came with time and comfortability in our home, but most of it was due to Pat and his guidance and patience with us. Thanks, Pat! We appreciate all you've done for us and Coop! And Cassie thanks you too, her brother is less annoying now :)

Pat is an incredibly good teacher, I have never left a session questioning what I was supposed to do or why we were doing it. Super thorough with the training process and breaks everything down into bite sized pieces. I like that my dogs boards at his home- huge warehouse style boarding facilities are super stressful on my pups and I don’t feel like they get the attention they deserve. Pat takes his time with each dog and is very attentive during the boarding process. The facilities are always clean & air conditioned. I 100% recommend Pats Pack to anyone who is needing help with their dogs. He’s super knowledgeable and a great guy to work with!

Pat is an all around incredible human being to learn from and be around. Clear and concise on “what and why”.

Pat is an all around incredible human being to learn from and be around. Clear and concise on “what and why”. Adopted a 3 year old Siberian, first dog, told myself to not get a husky, but he knew what he was doing at the human society. Within an hour of our first session, Pat was able to give me the tools and knowledge necessary to accomplish getting Skip dialed on his leash. We’re now working on off leash recall. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you Pat 🙏🏻🙏🏻
