Juno & Jäger

In 2012 Patricia Ann Weathers (PAW) adopted two mixed breed rescue dogs, a mother, Juno, and her puppy, Jäger.  She became immersed with training her own dogs and expanded her learning through classes and seminars. 

Patricia and Jäger went on to achieve various titles in Canine Performance Events (CPE Agility). During this time, she joined Handling 360 and Recallers, both programs developed by Susan Garrett, a world renowned trainer with a B.S in Animal Science. Patricia’s knowledge and ultimately her love of training blossomed through learning solid foundation work under Garrett’s methods.  

In 2017, she adopted Jack, a GSD/Belgian Malinois rescue puppy and loved training him in basic manners, agility and lure coursing.  She followed her passion and began her training career in New York State.

Her love for dog agility and other sports that encourage relationship building and teamwork continued to grow. She ultimately started looking for dog friendly areas in the country that needed venues in canine sports. She discovered Aiken County, in South Carolina, a dog paradise, and purchased a 20-acre parcel of land in Wagener, that was ideal for her residence and training facility.

Paws Pack Dog Training & Sports, was launched in 2019, offering puppy socialization and foundation work, family dog training and good manners, and agility. In 2023, the facility started offering dock diving and swimming.

Teaching handlers how to connect with their dogs through training that develops trust, confidence and builds joy is her goal. Her driving force is seeing someone immensely happy as they gain understanding and connection with their dog.

Patricia is a graduate of Animal Behavior College and has her certification in dog obedience. She is an Alumni of both Recallers and Handling 360. She is a Member of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). She is a an AKC CGC and Star Puppy Evaluator. She continues to compete in agility with Jack and is currently training the newest member of her family, Aerodynamic (Aero), a Border Collie added to her family in March 2022.  She is constantly continuing to build and grow her strengths in both dog training and dog sports, attending working seminars and training under top, winning handlers.  She will continue to expand her facility to offer more sports geared for people who get enjoyment out of handler-canine teamwork.
