What you can expect

  • Communication, discipline and manners
  • Respect and self control

How it works

  1. Assessment

    Pat learns your dog’s history, habits and triggers.

  2. Training together

    Pat trains your dog first, then coaches you to get the same response.

  3. Maintenance

    Fifteen focused minutes a day keeps the training sharp.

Questions about adult dog obedience

Can you train an older dog?

Yes. Adult dogs often learn faster than puppies because they can focus longer. What matters is clear, consistent communication from the owner.
