My name is Pat Thorne and I’m delighted to be part of the training team at Dog Academy. I am a certified professional dog trainer, (CPDT-KA) and have worked with dogs for over 30 years. I’m also very proud to be a certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM). As an FDM I focus on the WHY underneath the behavior being presented before I determine the HOW of what will be the most productive approach to changing the behavior for you and your dog in finding a solution that works best for both of you
