NFA Kennels

Had our incredible first training session for our 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier with a reactivity and aggression towards strangers. We did our first lesson and Pat’s approach to explaining the training techniques very comprehensive and easy to understand.We really liked the practical of the training in a real life environment with situations which we often encounter with our dog.We were able to observe improvement in our dog within the first session. We left the session with confidence and a clear understanding of how to continue the training at home an looking to continue with the rest of the training.I would 100 percent recommend Pat’s services to anyone facing similar challenges with their furry companions. After trying 1-to-1 training with other professionals, our experience with Pat was truly unparalleled.

Had an amazing experience with Pat, really knows what he is doing. Highly recommend. Looking forward to take more sessions for my Cane Corso

What else can I say about Patrick besides the fact that he is very great at what he does—training dogs! We left our three-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, Armani, with Patrick for a week in order to work on his bad tendencies, primarily his leash reactivity. His instruction focused not only on Armani but also on us as Armani's guardians, teaching us how to read Armani's body language and motivate him while fostering stronger bonds, developing problem-solving abilities, and enhancing Armani's self-confidence.All of our lives have been so positively affected by Patrick. I adore how much he values Armani and has made the most of him. We are extremely appreciative that Patrick was able to share his knowledge, teaching, and skills with us since the positive changes we have already witnessed are amazing. The best is yet to come, and Patrick will be our first stop when we return for more Armanis training! I would give him a perfect 10 if I could. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

I had a great experience with Pat working with my dog, Juno. His approach focuses on understanding the dog's behavior, and it's clear that this method works. After just one session, Juno's leash reactivity significantly improved, and he's no longer displaying previous bad tendencies. There was an immediate difference in Juno’s responsiveness. Pat not only effectively worked with Juno but also took the time to educate us about our dog's behavior. I appreciate the emphasis on motivating Juno in the training, and I'm looking forward to continuing the positive progress. Highly recommended for anyone seeking effective and insightful pet training.

When I first got my Doberman I spoke to many different trainers and although alot of of them were knowledgeable I chose Pat. The difference with Pat that i've noticed, is that he doesn't just talk at you as a trainer telling you all he knows about dogs etc. He has a unique ability to show and teach you tangible tools to really be able develop strong leadership with your dog. My dog is a super excited high energy big doberman, who could have been difficult to control without the right training. I saw an immediate difference in his temperament and his responsiveness to me after one session. Since working with Pat i've seen vast improvements in my dog's behaviour namely lead walking, which before used to be a nightmare. Anyone considering a dog trainer, I'd only point you in the direction of Pat. Highly recommend!

Pat at NFA Kennels helped me with my XL bully puppy with reactivity and leash training. He help my dog walk correctly on leash and talked us through how to properly correct him and showed us how to deal with him in different situations and with distractions. He did all this with me in our first session. He will definitely help you build a better relationship with your dog overall and I 100% recommend him to anyone that needs help with their dog.

Had first training session today totally amazed got our little puppy to finally walk without issues we were experiencing to date.Pat has been massive help.We will be continueing further training with him as a result.Pat is extremely knowledgable we have seen massive changes in our puppy cockopoo. His techniques amaze me every session we learn soo much more.Highly recommend Pat with any kind of dog training.

Before training with NFA Kennels, I couldn't have imagined taking my rescue dog to the park or on a peaceful walk. After few weeks of training it was as if I had a new dog! My dog was more confident in stressful situations and I had more control than ever on walks and out in public. Pat has done such a brilliant job and we're so grateful! Thank you Pat, I would 11/10 recommend this trainer.
