Pat is a truly skilled and intuitive dog trainer. My puppy was uncooperative before we started training with Pat but now she walks politely on the lease and her overall behavior is much improved. Pat always listened closely to my concerns about my pup and helped me to work through them creatively with tools and techniques. He also tailored our training sessions to suit our goals for our dog. My dog also adores him and is excited when we arrive for lessons! I would highly recommend him!

Our puppy Milo just completed pats training and we couldn’t have done it without Dog Man. Pat’s advice saved us lots of sanity and hair pulling as I would have absolutely no idea how to start. Pat provides everything you need to complete training (collars, leashes) and provides you with the knowledge on how to use it. Milo is well trained and fits perfectly with our wild bunch. We simply can’t thank Pat enough.

THE DOG MAN IS THE BEST!!!
Pat is so wonderful to work with. He is an excellent trainer who genuinely understands canine behavior and knows how to correct and work with dogs in a firm, but loving manner.
We needed help with our 6 year-old male chihuahua mix. He is a rescue with fear-based aggression towards strangers. When approached, he reacts so dramatically that we have always been afraid to allow anyone near him in case he might bite.
Pat was able to approach and work with our dog almost immediately! Our dog listened to, and respected Pat as he worked with him on obeying commands and building trust in someone other than his owners. We learned so much and really enjoyed watching our dog have fun during his training session! Also, it was invaluable to have our dog assessed by a professional trainer and to receive feedback and instructions on the best methods in dealing with his fear issues.
Thanks to The Dog Man we feel so much more confident in knowing what we need to do to as his handlers to continue his positive progress.

Didn’t know what to expect training a new puppy and Dog Man simplified this process. He does all the training during class time so we can watch and learn. He got our pup acclimated to following simple commands and made it easier for us at home.
