We visited The Dog Man today after adopting a 3 year old pug mix last weekend. The new addition to our family was really in need of training - especially for walking with a leash - she's been so out of control (or I should say IN CONTROL) on the leash, that my back has been hurting. Within 3 minutes, we watched our dog transform before our eyes. We left with the necessary tools and training (for the dog and us) which is life changing for us with this new addition in our home!!! The fee would be worth it - even if for just that one visit!!!!

Took my Cane Corso to The Dog Man at 3 months old. That was the best decision my wife and I made. Mr. Pat and Bailey, his assistant, are very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I highly recommend them for any type of Dog. Works one on one with your Dog, so you'll get the best Bite for your Buck $$.

Mr. Pat is an exceptional dog trainer. I highly recommend him. We took our Cane Corso to him at 3 months old, now our puppy is 5 months old weighing 75 lbs. And Mr Pat has done an amazing job training Zeus. After the second visit our puppy was obedient. THANK YOU MR. PAT😊

Pat is an extremely knowledgable and patient trainer. We took our 2 pups to Pat when they were 3 months old. Pat not only taught the pups but taught us (new pet owners)as well. Pat was available by phone or text whenever we had questions and we had several. We have finished our sessions but Pat is still available for help or recommendations. The pups loved him and loved going to his sessions.

We had our session with Pat today. We went in with one specific behavior problem and soon discovered there were more. Within minutes our goldendoodle responded and followed Pat's commands....amazing. Pat equipped us with the proper collars and leash and explained what to work on. We left confident knowing what we needed to do. It was a pleasure working with Pat. He has a wealth of knowledge in training dogs. He speaks dog, my Stella loves him. I would highly recommend him.
