Knowledgable care for beloved pets
Pet care experience
I have over 6 years of professional experience working with dogs in various capacities, including training, grooming, and boarding. I have a strong grasp of canine behavior and I understand the way dogs think. This allows me to manage dogs of various temperaments, including working dogs and reactive dogs. I can also easily manage large packs of 5 or more dogs in a home. In addition, my experience with grooming allows me to care for dogs with frequent grooming needs.
Reviews
My dog seemed to enjoy spending time with Patrick, but I did not agree with Patrick's decision to put an electric collar on my dog. He said that my dog behaved (was quiet in the crate) and therefore the collar did not need to be used, but I wish he would have asked me before putting it on my dog. We even discussed the day before when we met that my dog had not been trained with an ecollar.
We love bringing clipper to Patrick! He always does an excellent job. Highly recommend!
Patrick is an experienced handler. My dog was just one day off of surgery and it gave me great peace of mind to have him in the hands of Patrick who understood the medications my dog had been on, and the procedure my dog had just recently undergone. Not only does Patrick know his stuff, but we have used him several times and have found him to be reliable, responsive, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
Patrick is great! He’s friendly, reliable, and so knowledgeable about dogs and pets in general. Highly recommend!

Home
Information Patrick D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog requires any behavioral or medical management. I'm happy to work with reactive dogs or dogs with special needs. Letting me know ahead of time will allow me to better plan to care for them the best that I can.
A typical day
I provide ample daily exercise for pets in my care in the form of walks, hikes, ball, or other toy games. You can expect your dog to be treated as one of my own. I have several crates in my home and in my car in order to give dogs breaks, keep them safe, and transport them. We can also discuss working on basic obedience behaviors, such as recall, loose leash walking, and more! Let me know if there's anything you're looking to work on with your dog!
