Padraig was fantastic to work with! He spent an hour working with my 4-year-old German Shepherd, Deuce, and the session was extremely informative and productive. What I appreciated most was that he didn’t just train my dog—he took the time to train me as well. He explained the reasoning behind each technique, demonstrated the correct methods, and made sure I understood how to continue reinforcing the training at home. I highly recommend Padraig to anyone looking for an experienced trainer who truly cares about helping both the dog and the owner succeed!

Highly recommend! He has done an amazing job training my Aussiedoodle, Socx. He is professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and always quick to respond despite having a busy schedule. What sets him apart is that he gives personalized advice based on your home layout, routines, and your dog’s needs. He also recommends the right products, which made everything easier. He also does follow-ups and stays connected to make sure your dog continues progressing. My baby Socx is only 16 weeks old and already making great progress. His potty training is almost perfect, he walks well on the leash, and follows commands very well. You can tell he truly cares and wants results. Definitely recommend booking with him

I have been working with the trainer Padraig now for 2 weeks with Gunner and Wren. I can't say enough for how impressed we have been. The techniques we learned from week one has already had a huge impact on my dog's behavior. I love that as an owner I have been educated on the dog's behavior and body language to understand the whys about the technique and the cues from my dog to know when they are over stimulated and tired during training. I feel supported and encouraged to be confident with my dogs now. I have already seen a huge difference in their behaviors. I can already walk my dogs with just 3 fingers on the leash and no pulling. They are sitting when we stop without being told. It is amazing. Both of my dogs are excited to train when I bring them out to Padraig. I look forward to our sessions.
