Very professional and makes training look easy! Our dog, a border collie, was behaving within seconds of working with Pat. This guy knows dogs!

Pat, The Dog Man, is absolutely wonderful! We brought our 4-year old Australian Shepherd to him. Riley was fear aggressive with strangers and other dogs. After three visits, Riley was actually playing with Pat’s pack. We still have work to do, but Pat has given us the knowledge and tools we need. Thanks, Pat!

Absolutely amazing!!! We have a 6 year old dog and we just got a new puppy so we took them both to see Pat, and they had a night and day difference! They went from not being able to sit on the same couch to being able to lay together in the same bed with no issues! Our new pup Maggie was givinng us a hard time on the leash, but withing a few minutes Pat was able to correct her behavior and teach her how to heel and follow where we walked! Pat was super friendly and well informed, and he made us feel really comfortable with how he was training the pups. I would recommend him to anyone who has a reactive dog or who needs some help reigning in a wild puppy!!
