Testimonials
I've been making dog training and educational content for around a decade now. Here's what some previous clients have had to say!
I would consider myself a training enthusiast, I’m not a professional just a hobbyist and dog breeder who enjoys learning, competing in sports and helping those in our breed community. I’m not one to write reviews, really ever unless the person or product resonates with me or exceeds my expectations…and, well, they did just that. Pat’s courses and way of teaching cater to all levels of knowledge and provide value no matter your skill set. As a veteran myself, I enjoy the relatable anecdotes and find his way of breaking things down so refreshingly simple, I had so many “ah-ha” moments where things I’d struggled with, suddenly made sense. His online courses aren’t something you can or should skip through, as every sentence, word and phrase has been carefully considered to ensure there isn’t wasted ramblings and you get full bang for your buck. Whether you’re a novice or top tier, attending a seminar or getting an online course, you won’t be disappointed. Every dog enthusiast needs a little Pat Staurt in their lives.

Purchased the online course to help me stay up to date on modern dog training and because I feel there is always more to learn when it comes to behavioral science. I got a lot of education from it and Pat broke things down to a very manageable degree where I was able to learn a lot first watch through. From their I was able to immediately start applying what I learned to my own personal dogs and the dogs I train. Went through the whole course again this time with the hands on experience and still somehow was able to learn more and adjust my techniques and grow my skills. My only wish is that he allowed access to the course for longer periods of time or allow the course to never expire so I could rewatch again and again. Thanks Pat!

I found the concept of “motivation, communication and coach” helpful in troubleshooting issue quicker and more efficient. Pat’s way of teaching is like building blocks with clearer pathways to progress forward or to go back on what to be addressed. It is easy to follow and understand. Using Pat’s online course I was able to improve 25 behavioural issues and another 20 basic communication issues of dogs adopted from shelters. I enjoyed the non theory sections and demo dogs session (at Pat’s seminar) to see how the theories translate to different dogs and situation. The seminars and boot camp were most valuable to me. Watching Pat solves problem in real time. Overall, the online course has provided foundation and seminars/bootcamp has brought those theory to live. They are easy to follow and understand for pet owners and dog enthusiasts like me.

I'm so thankful for finding Pat's online boot camp. It was very helpful in accelerating my learnings about dog training. You need to know and understand the principles, because if you don't you'll likely flounder like a fish out of water(been there) trying to solve problems while blindly following techniques. Pat's material has helped shape me as a trainer and I find myself reflecting on the training principles outside of dog training in real life. I'm also a huge fan of TCP podcast.
Pat is an amazing teacher/instructor/coach! He provides detailed information that is easy to understand and apply. He has greatly influenced the way that I train dogs for the better! Captivating and engaging - just try not to be so distracted by his gorgeous eyes and hair that you miss the important content his genius brain has to offer!
Emily Carey
I engaged with Pat for 1:1 consultation for some advice and professional development as a dog trainer. Pat helped me to gain some clarity over a pretty serious and difficult issue and provided exactly the support that I need in this sometimes very difficult to navigate industry. Thanks so much Pat - I look forward to continuing to work together!
Sam King
Pat is an exceptional dog trainer. Over the years, Pat's services have brought me immense joy and satisfaction. With his expertise and compassionate approach, my dogs have thrived, and our bond has grown stronger than ever. Pat's training programs and support have made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Pat to anyone seeking professional dog training. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
Nick Isaac
My friend and trainer Natasha at Leash and Leads K9 recommended following Pat online to help with my understanding of dog training theory and practices. I'd started training Echo (GSD) my first dog, with force free methods from the time we got her from a very good breeder at 7 weeks. By 2 years she was a smart energetic dog that was too demanding and didn't understand "no". It was a struggle... And I needed to try something different. Following Pat online and working with an excellent balanced trainer, Natasha, has made all the difference in Echo's quality of life and my understanding of this amazing dog! Thank you Pat for providing all this knowledge online!
Best money spent. Pat structures the content and teaching in a way that is easy to understand and apply.
Vanessa
I bought Pat's last Online Course which was a fantastic amount of information, it was valid for 6 months and to go through it all and test it out in real life it took me about the same amount of time. Such a wealth of information in the course and presented well too, considering I'm aware that the videos weren't meant for this purpose so I can't wait for his new online course which is built specifically with this in mind. It's going to be Amazing
Maya
I bought Pat's online course. It had loads of information that I found to be both useful and exciting. Pat is a great teacher, and although I am no dog trainer, I found the course pretty easy to comprehend and apply.
Haytham Morsey
Pat is a world class communicator with an inspiring talent in the art of knowledge transfer. As a professional dog trainer and passionate teacher of people, I have gained a lot from Pat's coaching which has helped me to succeed in my job and with my own goals with my personal dog. I have attended Pat's seminars, completed his online courses and consulted him online for support with puppy development and most significantly overcoming a problematic resource guarding issue with my dog. His solution was simple and immediately helpful, after 6 months I am pleased to share his solution has provided meaningful and lasting results. Pat, thank you so much for everything. I feel so fortunate to have come across you so early in my professional canine journey.
Really enjoyed the content and theory. I found the level of explanations just right for pet owners (like myself) looking to improve training.
Meng Hsu
Absolutely loved the bootcamp, great value for money, loved the deep dives and how thorough the content is covered. Will 100% be looking out for the next one. Will definitely attend a seminar on the next date I can attend.
Rose Harding
You provide excellent information! It’s always nice talking to you and you make the Patreon lives a good place to safely ask questions without us worrying about being judged.
Mandy Matos
I was already a professional animal trainer for more than 30 years when I attended my first Pat Stuart seminar. I knew a lot of the “how” but through Pat I have learned the “why” on a completely different level. My training has improved exponentially as a direct result of my learning from Pat. I went from having never training a dog for a sport to having titles on my dog in three different disciplines. Any education you purchase from him will be of value at any price.
I honestly appreciate that this human exists and is accessible online to everyone who wants to learn from an experienced balanced trainer. I love that he's always open to feedback and seemingly willing to teach anyone at any skill level. I've learned a ton from his online seminars and the podcast he co-airs. The price is fair and I hope it stays that way! Thank you!
Jahaira Lattner
I purchased the bootcamp studyguide when Pat offered it 50% off. I felt the price point was more than fair and fit the "under promise, over deliver" concept I like the aim for myself. Pat does a great job delivering information. I've only been in the business as a trainer for about two years now, but have worked full time as a high school physical education teacher and coach for 12 years. I appreciate how he breaks down the concepts and skills. I feel his explanations reach multiple types of learners and would feel confident recommending his programs to others. I wish I'd have invested in his program sooner.
Jordan Zeunges
I've been a TCP member for quite a while now. TCP and the desire to knowing more lead me to purchase Pat's course which helped me understand the system much better. That in turn lead me to attending a seminar and 5 day boot camp at Found Chicago. It was a phenomenal experience. Pat is an excellent instructor for the manner he conveys the information. At no point in this journey have I thought I was not getting a return on my investment.
Brian Riebeling
In the past 3 decades I’ve attended training or instruction programs while in the military, in law enforcement, at universities, in corporate environments and during the last decade as a full time professional dog trainer. Hands down Pat has been one of the best instructors I’ve had the chance to learn under. I initially discovered Pat on the Canine Paradigm and did virtual lessons which led to me taking his online course a couple times and then seeing him present at conference. Pat is the gold standard when it comes to the ability to communicate ideas, concepts and skills from his brain to yours. He presents his information in a way that’s easily digestible and very entertaining!
I enjoyed Pat's NePoPo Bootcamp. It was easy to listen to and digest. Pat explains the concepts with examples that I could relate to. He was easy to understand and I didn't have to 'go back and play' ten times to try and understand them. I highly recommend his courses.
Victoria Paine
Learning from Pat has been massive help in my growth both as a professional trainer and as a handler of my sport lab. I find his explanations to be on point, knowledge vast and humor up my valley. My private with him was super informative, considering that we had an hour and he’s never seen me or my dog before. His Bootcamp course was pure concentrate of knowledge, and I would frequently come back to it when looking for an answer to my training puzzles.
Anastasia Wild
I think Pat is Great at being able to share information in an interesting way that will not only have you dog asking for more but quite possibly your self. If your interested in dogs or someone who loves dogs and struggles. This guy really knows his stuff. Pat provides an imence amount of free material. He has a unique way to be able to teach and get his point across with analytics and science. Great people skills.
Kenneth Kobierski
Pat's knowledge in dog training is second to none. Where he really shines though is in his ability to teach and help you understand what is going on with your dog. I have consumed hours of content from around the world but always come back to Pat as his clarity when explaining dog behaviour and the nuance of dog training helps give me confidence that I can become the best dog trainer that I can be. No matter if you choose a balanced approach or prefer a purely positive or compulsion based philosophy to your day to day dog training, if you don't get to hear Pat's approach you are missing a huge chunk from your dog training toolbox. Thanks again Pat
I purchased the bootcamp, and viewed and reviewed it quite a few times. If you are more of listener and viewer rather than a book reader this course provides all of the fundamental for a few years of work for intermediate dog trainers and beyond. Pretty difficult concepts explained a simple manner that makes it easier to apply and try. My favourite was the video where he teaches his own dog a new behaviour. So much to steal from.
Erik Van Vulpen
Pat is an excellent teacher/coach/mentor all the lessons I have seen are compelling to watch and easy to understand because he is able to break down and convey complex subjects into well thought out easy to understand explanations.
Chris
The course is a deep immersion in the nepopo system. Pat is a great teacher, and he takes you, video after video, in the realm of all the main nepopo bulletpoints with a lot of theory and also practical examples and exercises. I'd suggest this course to every trainer, from the beginner to the one with more experience, who wants to understand nepopo system and his pillars. Pure gold
Andrea Peruch
I have purchased your online old online course and absolutely loved it! The only thing that was challenging was the time constraint on the course. Having a busy job means dipping in and out of courses, as I'm just a pet dog owner, and it's a hobby. It would have been good to have longer access to the content because I didn't get enough time to get through the whole course before the time frame expired. I also attended your seminar in Sydney, and it was the best three days. I learned so much, and the way you taught using stories was perfect for me. It means I can now think back to the stories and use them in our training. It also means that I'm dying for you to do another seminar in Sydney again because there is still so much to learn, and you can teach us :) Was your content worth the time and money? Well, since your course and seminar, we have achieved so much. We have dived headfirst into the dog sport world and achieved 7 titles in 6 different sports, and we are very close to some others (hopefully next year). You have taught us how to work as a team with better communication and training ideas. We have also met so many like-minded people to train alongside too. So yes, for us, it was worth every penny. It gave us something to work for and achieve, but most of all, the bond we now have is incredible and growing every day. Thank you, and I literally can't wait for your next course!
