Who This Is For
This course is for anyone who trains seriously — pet trainers, working dog handlers, sport competitors, and obsessed enthusiasts alike.
If you’re ready to level up your understanding and execution, this is for you.
"This course has completely transformed the way I train and connect with my dog. Pat’s deep dives into Motivate, Communicate, Coach are next-level — not just theory, but real, actionable insights that instantly made sense. Now I better understand the system and how to deliver fair corrections with effectiveness rather than pressure. That balance between clarity and connection is something I’ve never seen taught this well.
What really sets this course apart is how Pat breaks everything down and then shows you exactly how it looks in practice. His explanations of deep dives, out command, decoy work and the theory behind it were especially valuable, and the practical demos made it all click.
One of the biggest breakthroughs for me was with the “Out” command. I didn’t realize how much conflict I had until Pat laid it all out — and since applying what I learned, my dog’s responsiveness and confidence have skyrocketed.
If you’re serious about dog training, this course is an absolute must. It’s sharpened my communication, improved my training system, and deepened my relationship with my dog in ways I didn’t expect. I can’t recommend it enough."

"The course is an eye-opening experience in the world of dogs, I am certain everyone from beginner to advanced will learn something new. It has expanded my knowledge and taught me so much that trying to place what I have gained into words has proven to be a difficult task.
This course presentation is captivating and engaging, conveying information in a way that makes you want to come right back to learning more. The content from introductions to in-depth explanations clearly articulate concepts and principles being conveyed and have provided me clarity that will assist me in better training dogs of all types and backgrounds. The practical examples given are invaluable and assist in implementing the learned information into practice. The additional information and extras provided got me hooked into learning more about bite sports and development, which in turn has led to more engaging play with my dogs and even strengthened their obedience and our relationship.
The raising a high drive puppy section is what I wish I had access to before I got my dogs as it would have made life and my decisions when raising my dogs much more thoughtful and provided insight into aspects of development. However, this information is just as exceptional even with fully grown dogs. I am grateful that I can implement the principles in my dog’s life.
I can’t recommend this course enough and I would not hesitate to buy this course or recommend it to others. I believe this course is an invaluable asset for any dog trainer or handler. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, this course is sure to give you an edge in improving your training techniques in many ways. I walked away with practical skills that I now use in daily life as well as when training dogs and I am eternally grateful for this experience."

Pat’s content has transformed me into a level of obsessed dog owner I didn't think was possible. His new course provides the insights I’d been searching for since I first got a dog, especially through its in-depth lessons and supportive community calls. The knowledge I've gained has boosted my confidence, not only in training my own dog but also in helping others.
At the start of each training section, I wonder how Pat will fill the time, but he always delivers thorough, engaging, and easy-to-understand content. I look forward to the new content he continues to add to the course.
Pat is an outstanding teacher and coach with deep expertise in dog training. Gaining access to his knowledge through this course is a game-changer for anyone passionate about dogs and will undoubtedly benefit the entire dog training community.
