training style & methodology

Core Principles of Balanced Dog Training

Balanced dog training stands out as one of the most effective styles in the industry. Rather than adhering strictly to one method or tool, I employ a versatile approach tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I only resort to specific tools and methods when necessary, considering the severity of the dog’s situation.

Adaptability

I have the flexibility to incorporate elements from various training styles, allowing me to customize a plan that suits your dog’s personality and requirements.

Learned Expertise

I’ve been inspired by esteemed trainers such as Cesar Millan, Mike Ellis, Ivan Balabanov, Larry Khron, Robert Cabral, and Upstate Canine Academy. Through their educational materials, additional courses, and hands-on experience with real dogs and people, I’ve honed my skills in rehabilitation and training.

Continuous Learning

While I aspire to reach the proficiency of those I admire, I remain committed to continuous growth and improvement, viewing myself as a perpetual learner in the realm of dog training.

How It Works

In our first session, which typically lasts between an hour and a half to two hours, we’ll lay the groundwork for your dog’s training journey.

After our initial consultation, I’ll conduct a personalized assessment to gauge your dog’s needs and determine the optimal number of sessions required. Based on this assessment, I’ll offer tailored packages to suit your specific training goals and preferences.

Our approach emphasizes your active involvement because successful dog training extends beyond our one-on-one sessions. We equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to confidently handle your furry companion when I’m not present.

Rather than complicating things with multiple packages and varying prices, we offer a straightforward hourly rate for any training needs you may have.

Testimonials

Hear From Satisfied Clients

I just started working with Patrick for my dog Charlie, and I could tell immediately that he is very passionate about his work. He has an energy that my dog responds to very well and has already shown me some new tricks to help with engagement that other trainers haven’t been able to show me in the past. Looking forward for what’s to come!

Noah Barrett

I couldn’t recommend Pat more! He took the time to really listen to the specific concerns I had with my dog Otis and developed an individualized plan. He makes himself readily available for help between sessions and shows you hands on concrete concepts to help your dog. He’s direct and honest and after feeling lost for a while and hitting a wall with what I was able to do on my own he gives you the structure and support to let your dog succeed. I am so grateful for his help as a new dog owner and my dog loves him too!

Rachael Burke

Amazing service! I needed some help with sudden concerning behaviors with a new dog I’ve had for a month. Pat helped me so much and responded quickly to my SOS, and my dog Whiskey worked well with him. Not only did he help me feel more confident in how to handle the new behaviors, but helped me start to build a stronger foundation for my relationship with my new dog and help him feel more comfortable in his new environment with new people. I am forever grateful for the affordable and quality service!!!
