FirstBarkWhat can I say, WOW! Our 6 month old EC Golden Retriever had her first session today. After months of trying leash walking, had almost given up. Within an hour of the session, Daisy was walking right beside us on a leash, healing and working real close to stay. I look forward to our additional sessions and would recommend Pat to anyone needing help with their puppy/dog.

I just finished up training with my 3yr husky and I could not be happier with the results. Asher had some behavioral problems that we needed fixing. We had moved and he was having “accidents” and just wasn’t listening very well. He was a good dog and very laidback for a husky but the pooping in the house just wasn’t working for me. Asher was extremely responsive to the commands once he understood what we wanted from him. With the help of a pinch collar to walk and a shock collar (used only a few times and on a low setting) to help with the accidents he learned very quickly. He learned how to walk without pulling, sit and stay, we only used the shock collar 2-3 times on a low setting to get his attention. We only had to show him the remote for him focus and listen. We don’t use the collar anymore bc he doesn’t need it. All issues we resolved. We changed his diet to a much healthier one, his coat is shinier, he has better digestion, firmer stool and shedding had decreased significantly. I’d recommend Pat 100%. Asher’s become much more pleasant to have around thanks to Pat for training us to train Asher.
I have know Patrick for thirty plus years and he has been training coaching and developing my pups ever since ! A true dog whisperer… just count on it!!!
