Our experience with Pat was great. We got an immediate response when we reached out to schedule and he was able to start us the same week. Our 6 month old beagle took to him immediately and her obedience and behavior noticeably improved after the first session. His style is very observant, calm and simple but firm. He takes time to explain why and how he is training and gives clear instructions on what to work on between sessions. After 5 our puppy understands several commands, walks calmly and obediently on leash and is just over all more well behaved. We absolutely recommend Paws Forward!

If you’re on the fence about dog training, let me save you the hesitation: Patrick is worth it! When I first brought my energetic German Shepherd, Rocky, to Patrick, we were basically speaking different languages. Fast forward a few sessions, and wow—what a transformation! Rocky is now obedient, focused, and genuinely well-behaved. We went from frustrating tug-of-war battles to clear, joyful communication that makes us both happier. Patrick’s training style is patient, positive, and super effective. He really understands dogs (and their humans!), tailoring everything to Rocky’s personality while giving me the tools to keep the progress going. Our connection has grown so much stronger—it’s like Rocky finally “gets” me, and I get him. The best part? The improvements just keep building! I’m already booking more sessions to fine-tune Rocky’s skills and take things to the next level. If you want a trainer who truly cares and delivers real results, Patrick is your guy. Thank you, Patrick—you’ve made our lives (and our walks!) so much better!

We were so pleased with Patrick’s training with Mac. He customized our training to suit our needs & wants with Mac. Patrick truly listens to his clients. He taught us and Mac so much. We were a real team. Patrick helped us become better dog parents because there are no bad dogs!

We contacted Patrick to help us train our new mixed breed rescue. He’s polite, knowledgeable, and showed us how to be successful dog owners. Our dog, Phoebe, loved when Patrick came over. He gave us and the tools and techniques to be better dog parents and her the confidence and training to be the best puppy she can be. He was reliable and on time. Can’t recommend him enough.

I had a great experience with Patrick . He was patient, professional, and understood my dog, Bentley’s behavior. We worked in different environments and worked on various commands. I would definitely recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a great pet trainer!
