Mr. Padraig is amazing. He is patient with my fur babies and I love his honesty. If you are looking for a dog trainer that truly is passionate about what they do, look no further. Cerbetus K9 is perfect for you.

We can’t say enough about how great our experience with Padraig and Cerberus has been. He is not just knowledgeable about dogs and animal behavior, but a true expert (he has a PhD in this from Cambridge!!). Our 5 month old puppy (Doug) needed a lot of work for social anxiety, crate training, potty training, and general obedience. One week with Padraig, and Doug came back more confident, a better listener, a great sitter/walker, and ready to learn from us. Padraig checks in with us regularly, even after the initial week of training, to give us tips and pointers, plus he will make several additional visits to our home to make sure Doug is successful at being “the very best boy!” It is very evident that dogs and training are Padraig’s passion - and a true gift. Doug is doing so well, we will continue working with Padraig to train Doug to be a service dog and make visits to hospitals and nursing homes. 💕

Working with Cerberus K9 Group was such a pleasure. The professionalism and diligence they took training my dog Barlow was everything I expected and more. The team was very accommodating around my schedule and made sure that Barlow’s training and certifications were done in a timely manner as I am moving out of the country. I cannot thank them enough and 10/10 would recommend their team to anyone.

I can’t say enough great things about this dog training and boarding group! They’ve been a lifesaver for my wife and me—always willing to help out with last-minute boarding whenever we’re in a pinch. That level of reliability is hard to find these days. On top of that, they trained our dog, and the results were incredible. She came back more obedient, and well-mannered. The training made a real difference, not just in her behavior but in how smoothly everything runs at home now. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they work with, and they treat them like family. I highly recommend them. They’ve earned our complete trust!
