Packman to the Rescue, K9 Solutions & Coaching

Pat has been God sent. He has helped my family and I become better dog owners and a better pack. He listened to all of our concerns, and assessed what we needed to work on. He really takes the time to teach you about dog behavior and why the techniques that he teaches you work. I have a better understanding of my dogs’ needs. I have worked with different trainers that only use food as a reward and don’t bother to teach you dog behavior and have seen no results. It's feels great to see actually work with someone that knows what he’s doing and see the results! Pat is a vert nice guy, funny and understanding. I highly recommend him!

When we first adopted our senior black lab Dorothy, she was labeled as a nervous dog by the rescue. Initially she was having difficulty remaining calm and we weren’t sure how best get her to stop constantly barking and pulling on walks. We tried a dog trainer, but their only solution seemed to be giving her a lot of treats which ultimately did not resolve the issues. Pat actually taught us how to work on training ourselves to identify the root of what was causing Dorothy’s behaviors, as well as the best ways for us to help Dorothy get to a more calm state of mind. Prior to meeting with Pat, we were afraid to bring Dorothy around family members as we didn’t know how she would react. Once we were able to better understand Dorothy thanks to Pat’s guidance, we were able to see Dorothy blossom into a more calm, confident dog that we were happy to introduce to all family and friends. Pat also worked with us on leash walking, and was very detailed in how we could best respond to any scenario we brought up to him (seeing other dogs, other people approaching, etc.). As a result, we are now able to more confidently take Dorothy on long walks while allowing her and ourselves to enjoy the time out calmly. Pat is very flexible in his scheduling which is great for anyone that finds themselves constantly busy during the week. In addition, Pat offers other insightful resources such as podcasts and videos that are excellent supplements to our training. We could not be happier with the results we’ve seen thus far, and would absolutely recommend Pat to anyone that wants to give their dog the comfort and peace of mind they deserve. Thank you Pat!

Pat is truly one of a kind. He has "rescue" in his title, and it is well deserved because he rescued me and my pup! My dog could not be handled, I was in a corner and had no options. My puppy boy was so awful and mean and just wouldn't listen or respect me! Someone recommended Pat to me and he saved us. He was kind, genuine, funny & downright inspirational. The advice he gave me was remarkable, and he has molded my bad little devil into a kind, docile pup that people envy! Life changing! Even my own family has been saying... "wow, what changed??" You know what I say? Pat the Packman changed us, He changed us both!! Highly recommend!!
