Our Story
Camp counselor and trainer Mark Forrest Patrick has a great gift for taking an ill-behaved, sometimes aggressive, dog and turning him into a big old teddy bear! Mark created the Tuxedo's K9 Training Camp for that very purpose. He wanted to help dog lovers in the Rochester area learn how to care for and really enjoy living with their K9 companion. He uses a positive reinforcement approach to building a long lasting relationship between owner and dog. Through this training method, your K9 companion learns that good behavior will be positively rewarded.
His business slogan reads "Training for you.... Training for your dog!". He teaches the dog, but he also teaches the owners and their family members how to interact with their pet so that they can be comfortable and happy with their furry companion.
Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp offer Day Care, Training and Boarding services. When you dog stays at Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp they are never left alone with our 24/7 staff on site with your family pet. Our all inclusive rate allows you to customize your services with no additional charges.
Mark serves on the Board of Directors for the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. Mark is a graduate of Animal Behavior College (ABC) with a certificate in Dog Training, Pet Massage and Veterinary Assistant. As a graduate of ABC, his philosophy is based on positive reinforcement, counter conditioning and motivation, to build a long lasting relationship between human and his best friend!
