About
14 years into working with dogs on a training level, I became certified in behavioral analysis, and have been excited to work with, and have much success in, aggression and anxiety in dogs. Realizing there is much behavioral research being done in the industry now, I address dogs brain development in a much more comprehensive manner with exponential success. I also hold advanced certification in canine nutrition and can answer questions as to how it may relate to behavior. A mentor once said, "people don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care". We all have a gift to give the world, mine is assessing the energy of your dog and create communication to meet your goals. The effects of the thousands of clients I have worked with that have learned how to communicate with their dog, has been beyond exciting and rewarding for me to experience. My work is to show you how to accomplish this, in creating behavioral education that you can apply for your dogs lifetime. The kind of relationship you build in this process is rich and rewarding for you as well!

We have two dogs with very different needs and Patti brought valuable information to us about each of them and also gave us the tools to be successful with them. Patti's modeling of the training techniques was thorough, positive, and encouraging for all of us!

Miss Howard is an outstanding trainer, she taught us how to behave with our overly hyper pit bull. He has calmed down and is listening way better that before. I would highly recommend miss Howard to any one looking to better themselves and their puppies and dogs. John Heimbigner

Patti is amazing! She gave me practical tips on training my dogs and gave me insight into how their minds work. She showed me processes to help me work with them and gave me hope that I will be able to train them properly. She saw my dogs as loving, sweet and good dogs - like I do! Even just 24 hrs later I see a marked difference in their listening and wanting to change direction! I have 2 mastiffs and needed someone to come to my home since it wasn't possible to take them both somewhere by myself for training and she was able to do that. Patti is kind and gentle and I am so thankful for her help! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Patti was flexible and understands my to our situation and fit is in her schedule with our limited timeframe. She gave us great advice and pointers on how to handle our dogs as well as recognize existing or potentially bad habits. She had great follow up with us and we intend on calling on her to evaluateour dogs progress in the near future.

Patti is awesome! We contracted for 4 sessions because our chihuahua has had a HUGE problem with other dogs. She’s 6 years old, our rescue of 4 years, and I was fearful she would be untrainable, as an “old dog.” Not the case, at all! She’s so eager to learn, and we’d never know that had it not been for Patti. My husband and I are feeling much more confidant and relaxed, and, therefore, so is our canine, when walking outside amongst other dogs. Patti is willing to follow up with more lessons when need be, if we need a “tune-up." She is a great listener and addresses the behaviors that need changing right away. We are so happy Patti has helped our little girl be less anxious and bossy within a surprisingly short time frame!
