From Joe Latour:
My dog, Kirby, and I recently completed the Due North Kennels Novice Obedience Dog Training Program led by Pat Robertson. It was a very positive experience for both me and my dog.
Kirby is a very high energy and excitable two year old Standard Poodle. Walks with him prior to the training sessions were a challenge and frankly not very enjoyable because he constantly pulled on the leash, lunged at cars and bicycles and barked at other dogs.
After completion of the program, our daily walks are an absolute pleasure. Kirby heels when requested and no longer lunges at passing vehicles. He obeys all key obedience commands such as Sit, Stay, Stand, Down, Heel and Come (Recall). Based on this foundation, I now feel confident that with continued reinforcement of the skills learned we will enjoy the constant companionship of a well behaved family pet.

From Linda:
It has been 3 years since my boy was trained by Pat and I still marvel over the fact my Siberian can run free (supervised of course!)! She did a wonderful job!

From Carolee:
Sezar was two years old. A wonderful dog with our family. His mother was a boxer and his father a Rottweiler. He is huge and we couldn’t control him. The normal doggie classes we took him to, did no good. He would jump our 5ft fence and create havoc in the neighbourhood. Weights on his collar or tying him up with a chain didn’t stop him. The day he broke loose and attacked another dog was his undoing. Needless to say, the owner reported us and to cut a long story short, we feared that we would have to ‘put him down’.
We were then told about Patricia Robertson who trained with an e-collar and had trained numerous problem dogs with great success. Pat had him for a whole two weeks and then came around to the house to show us how to continue her good work. That afternoon we could walk him at heel on the road for the first time in his life.
Patricia Robertson saved Sezar with her training and to this day Sezar is a totally different dog. We can take him places and he is calm, comes when called - He is the dog we always hoped he would be.

From Brenda:
Our one year old Cattle Dog started to chase and herd children that I was babysitting at my home. I often have 5 or 6 kids here some as young as two years of age. Daisy is a wonderful dog with everyone. This was her major problem. She was starting to nip a bit so we had to do something about it. She was also starting to follow us out to the road when the school bus came and if we tied her up, she barked.
We contacted Pat Robertson for help and she took the dog for two weeks and trained her. She came back with the dog two weeks later. Daisy was a totally different dog after that.
She is still a happy dog but she does not chase the kids around anymore and she stays up at the house when the kids go to the road to catch the bus.
Pat still keeps in touch with us and has offered help at no charge if we need it but the dog is still behaving very well.
We are always happy to recommend Pat to anyone with a problem dog.

From Kim:
"I just wanted to say thank you again for the walk with Copper and your 2 dogs. I think that was a turning point for Copper AND me! We have since been able to walk by other people and dogs and he is staying calm. Hopefully that is a sign of things to come. I took him to the large park behind the community center this morning. We walked for a good 30 minutes and he did not go more than 40 feet away from me without turning and waiting for me.
I am looking forward to more training with you and definitely more off leash walks with you. I am so happy with his progress!!

From Barb:
Excellent dog training facility & Pat is so experienced & patient with both the dogs & their owners. If I ever get another dog, we are certainly going to Pat for some efficient & knowledgeable training!
From Gareth, Ashley and Edgar:
These classes were the best thing we could have ever done for our Poodle, Edgar.
Pat gave us the insight and instruction to effectively change our dogs behaviour from 'cute and annoying' into 'responsive and controlled'.
The experience Pat brought to us not only trained the dog, but taught us humans to be patient, forgiving and assertive when required.
Edgar, Whitey and I and now enjoy a very rewarding relationship together. Helping us understand what our dog needs to be happy, and what motivates him, has made our lives so much better.
We look forward to some more advanced classes.
Well done DueNorth and Pat Robertson!
