Testimonials

Laura & Theo
"I think of you often because of how much we continue to enjoy and love Theo every moment of every day ... and we give you all of the credit!
We have always loved him but truly it was not until we met you and received the proper training (after years of unsuccessful classes) that we got to appreciate and accept the good dog and friend that he is to all of us."
Kim, Hunter & Hailey
"Right from the first lesson, Patti's outgoing personality and love of what she does made me realize it was a good decision on my part to contact her. Full of energy and ideas Patti is not afraid to try an alternative method of training in order to accomplish the set goal for the individual dog."
Donna & Gucci
"Patti is a patient, effective trainer but more importantly she’s not afraid to think outside the box and try new things to get the results you need ... she gave us the tools we needed to be able to continue that training in teaching Gucci to self sooth without her assistance. These tools were invaluable to us as we can now leave the house knowing that we won’t come home to a frantic injured dog or a destroyed house."
Tanya & Mouse
"After struggling at home with our dog Mouse’s shyness and fear, I decided to call Patti to help us build his confidence and obedience. I have learned how to influence Mouse positively and create the behaviours that I want and Mouse learned and changed more quickly and completely than I could have hoped for."
Margaret & Spencer
"... after 12 sessions with Patti we have a whole new dog. Family and friends who were beginning to call him "devil dog" have all been surprised at the change in Spencer. Patti is very friendly, punctual, and very flexible in her training. She works very hard to make sure that her clients see a difference in their dog. We started to see a change in Spencer's behaviour after only 3 sessions with Patti. "
Mika & Oakley
"Oakley learned so much during our twelve sessions of training with Patti. His behavior improved considerably and I feel I have the skills to deal with any new behaviors that may arise. I really enjoyed how all of the skills were taught and practiced in an environment of fun and play.
Jarran & Brooklyn
"Perlock Dog training really changed the behavior of my puppy for the better. I liked that training methods were consistent throughout and the exercises seemed relevant. I would recommend any dog owner to put their dog through this training."
Jennifer & Chase
"I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. They are a great balance of fun and learning. I feel empowered in that I know how to handle difficult situations and feel increasingly connected to my dog. I found the 2-3 training sessions per week very helpful. Also, Patti's flexibility to work around my schedule was most beneficial."
Kim & Lego
"Training with Perlock Dog Training was a great experience. It was very enjoyable and rewarding. Both Lego and I made huge gains and reaped many benefits. Patti was very patient, understanding and easy-going. She makes training feel achievable for the owner."
