I cannot recommend Pat's Pack Dog Training enough. I brought my rescue dog Frank to Pat, and honestly the transformation has been incredible. Frank came to me with a ton of energy and the kind of unpredictability you'd expect from a rescue. A sweet dog, but a lot to handle. Pat completely changed that.Through the boarding process and the follow-up appointments, Frank became a completely different dog, in the best possible way. He listens, he's calm, he's a joy to be around. I can bring him literally anywhere now and he's just great. Friends, family, strangers, everyone loves Frank, and a huge part of that is the foundation Pat built with him.What really stood out beyond Frank's individual training was how much he improved with other dogs as a result of the boarding. That socialization piece was something I hadn't fully anticipated, but it made a huge difference in how Frank carries himself overall.Pat's follow-up appointments kept everything consistent and gave me the tools to reinforce what Frank had learned. That ongoing support means everything.If you're on the fence, don't be. Whether you have a rescue, a high-energy dog, or just a pup who needs some direction, Pat is the real deal. Highest possible recommendation. 🐾

I am so glad we found Pat’s Pack. He is great at working with my 10 yr old pup and also communicating to me the how and why behind everything. We enjoy every session, learn a ton, and see improvement each time. Highly recommend.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, Pat is it. You found the right one!Pat trained my Golden Retriever, Jet, and the results were night and day. From crate training and leash manners to basic and advanced obedience, Jet picked up new skills faster than anticipated— and I attribute it all to Pat. Pat's depth of knowledge not only means you get such helpful real world explanation of what's happening, but a plethora of tools and tricks to use for success.What really set Pat apart was his ability to explain the why behind everything. Understanding why Jet behaves a certain way, body language / behavioral triggers, healthy vs. unhealthy play behavior — that kind of knowledge has been invaluable, especially raising him around my family's other dogs. Pair that with his guidance on when to introduce verbal commands and how to adjust each step up or down, and the whole process just clicked in a way it never had before.On top of being the best dog trainer, Pat is genuinely a fun person to be around and communicate with. Asking for advice always feels comfortable - I know I will get a helpful answer and a solid plan going forward.I cannot recommend Pat's Pack enough.

Before taking my dog (6 yr old rescue Malinois) to Pat’s he was incredibly reactive and slightly aggressive to people/dogs. Pat helped to give me some great tools and put a lot of my anxieties at ease with his training. After training, his behavior on walks and with people is a night and day difference. He has become such a great listener and still has his fun/silly personality! I am looking forward to continue implementing all of the training techniques Pat has taught my pup and I and seeing his behavior improve. 11/10 RECOMMEND!!

Pat is absolutely amazing. Our 1-year-old German Shepherd, Roki, had a very strong protective personality and had become extremely difficult to handle. Walking him on a leash was nearly impossible and he rarely responded to our commands.After just two weeks in Pat’s care, the transformation was incredible, a complete 180. Roki is now calm, focused, and an absolute dream to walk. He listens, responds to commands, and is a completely different dog.What impressed us most about Pat is not only his skill, but also how much he genuinely cares about the dogs and their owners. He is honest, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about what he does.Pat’s board-and-train program has been the best investment we could have made for Roki and for our whole family. We are beyond grateful and cannot recommend him highly enough.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Pat and his two-week board and train program. The difference in our dog is truly night and day.Our main concerns were leash walking, basic obedience, and his fear around other dogs. Before training, he would quiver around other dogs and struggle on walks. Now he walks beautifully on leash, responds reliably to commands, and confidently visits local dog parks where he plays well with other dogs. He has even received compliments from others on how well behaved he is.What really sets Pat apart is that he does not just train the dog, he trains the humans too. We learned so much about providing leadership, communication, and consistency. The education we received has made all the difference in maintaining positive results at home.We also board our pup with Pat when we travel. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing he is with a true professional and probably having the time of his life with Pat’s Pack.If you are looking for a dog trainer, look no further. Pat has my highest recommendation.

Me and my partner had an amazing experience boarding Jud for just under a week! He came back being less reactive, and we were provided really easy ways to continue then training at home! Would definitely recommend!

Pat is my go to dog guy. Always my first choice when it comes to dog behavior questions, training and boarding. He is a true dog psychologist with a deep understanding of dog to dog and human to dog relationships. I am grateful to have found him and only wish I could give more stars. I recommend Pat to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog behavioralist regardless of your dogs history. I am always at ease knowing my pooch is boarding at Pats. Sincerely, Ricky

Working with Pat truly changed our lives with Brooklyn.We came in struggling with reactivity, lunging, protective behaviors, and a high-drive dog we didn’t always feel confident handling. We loved him, but we lacked structure and clarity. Pat gave us both.Having two Belgian Malinois himself, Pat immediately understood Brooklyn’s physiology and drive. He helped us shift from simply rewarding “yes” to also clearly communicating “no” with fairness and consistency. The e-collar became a communication tool, not a punishment. Learning pressure and release, timing, and accountability transformed our walks and our home life.Heel work, place training, and crate structure created neutrality and calm. Brooklyn now understands when to work and when to shut off. We feel safer, more confident, and more in control. We have our freedom back.Pat didn’t just train our dog. He educated us and gave us a framework we can sustain. We’re incredibly grateful.
