Patrice, the owner of Dynamic Dogs, is absolutely amazing! She is knowledgeable about dog behaviors and training techniques, she is a professional and she creates a trusting and non-judgemental training environment.
We enrolled our 1 year-old Golden Retriever, Mia, in her 5-week Group Puppy Training Class after she began to randomly show signs of aggression towards other dogs. Mia had been socialized since 8 weeks old with other dogs at home and in public spaces, so her behavior was very alarmingly to us.
In Patrice's class, we learned basic fundamental commands that changed Mia's behavior drastically! We learned how to properly give commands to dogs, proper dog collars, best practices for walking dogs, and the fundamentals of dog psychology. One of the most exciting aspects of the class was that we received one-on-one teachings with Patrice, and opportunities to practice skills, inevitably make mistakes, and receive constructive feedback during class time. Additionally, because our goal of the class was to address Mia's aggressive behavior towards other dogs, we were able to practice our newly learned techniques right there in class!
Since we began the Puppy Class, Mia is no longer aggressive towards other dogs. We no longer have anxiety walking her on leash. We feel confident addressing an inappropriate behavior if it were to resurface. Because of Patrice's class, we now have a skillset that will last us the dog's lifetime and beyond.
If your dog jumps on people, barks excessively, is difficult to walk on a leash, is aggressive towards adults or children, or has any other array of behaviors you would like to address, then I would 100% RECOMMEND Patrice's services. Even if you just meet with her for one one-on-one training - IT IS WORTH THE INVESTMENT for your dog, for you, and for everyone's happiness!

I cannot say enough good things about Dynamic Dogs! After adopting a second dog with a background of abuse and behavioral issues, Patrice’s in home training was life changing for our family. Just a few months ago I couldn’t bring my guarded, aggressive, newly adopted dog around other dogs at all. After working with Patrice, we have regular doggy play dates with friends and both of my dogs are happy, obedient, and amazingly socialized!

Patrice is the best dog sitter ever. We had to run out of town at the last minute during the holidays and she did not hesitate to say yes. Bear adores her and so do we! She is so good with our dog and always finds a good picture(s) to send to us to remind us that he is happy and OK.

Patrice is an amazing trainer who teaches you how to use love and positive reinforcement to create an incredible bond between your and your dog. After interviewing five other trainers we choose Patrice because she was the only trainer to create an individual plain to address our specific needs. We were so happy working with Patrice that we have now progressed to off leash obedience training and our Canine Good Citizenship Certification. I have worked with other trainers in the past and I can tell you from personal experience Patrice is the only trainer you will ever need.

What a wonderful person and dog trainer Patrice is! She is just fantastic. Our 2 dogs were a mess and within just a couple of sessions Patrice trained us and our dogs on how to behave. She is such a joy to work with and get to know. We're so glad we met her and recommend her to everybody we know.

Patrice did an awesome and amazing job of getting our very stubborn Pitt to obey our walking commands . She is very patient , positive minded and a great dog trainer. I highly recommend her for dog obedience training in the Raleigh Cary , Apex area.

I am SO happy I met Patrice with Dynamic Dogs NC! I have tried everything with my dogs (including several other dog trainers, board and train programs, etc) and although some of it helped somewhat at first, I found that it just didn’t stick. Patrice has been formerly trained as a certified dog trainer (unlike many people claiming to be professional dog trainers, I have realized!) and it is apparent from the moment you start working with her how knowledgable she is. She knows all the psychology behind dog behavior and has a way of teaching dog owners very practical methods that can be easily applied to daily life.
I love that Patrice offers more than just dog training, too. Besides the private in-house dog training she offers dog sitting, group dog training, puppy training packages, etc. We like to take advantage of a variety of approaches with our pups (private and group sessions) and with the dog sitting, we are so happy to know when we go out of town that not only will our dogs be cared for, they will be trained while we are away as well! We come back to find happy AND well-behaved pups! I don’t know what I would do without her! She is especially helping me with behavior modification for dog aggression, which has been a big stressor in my life, but with each session we are seeing amazing improvements!
Besides being the best dog trainer in Raleigh, Patrice is such a fun, happy person, and her love for dogs overflows, its obvious how passionate she is about dog training, which makes her so good at her job. I really look forward to our sessions with Patrice and thank her for helping me feel empowered and less stressed out as a dog owner! I recommend her to everyone I know!
