Patrick Mullooly, USMC Veteran & Head Trainer
From a personal struggle with his own dog to training Special Operations K9s across the country.
Meet Patrick Mullooly
I'm Patrick Mullooly, owner and head trainer of True North Canine and a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran. Over the past 8+ years, I've trained dogs at every level of the spectrum: family pets, shelter dogs, local, state, and federal law enforcement K9s, conventional military working dogs, and I've served as a Trainer for Special Operations Multi Purpose Canines, working with some of the most elite dogs in the world.
My journey started the way it does for many owners. I was struggling with my own dog. That challenge sparked a passion that quickly grew into a lifelong career, and it's why I understand exactly where you're starting from.
Today, I bring that same level of training used at the highest levels of law enforcement and special operations to everyday dog owners across North Texas and Oklahoma. I work with dogs of all ages and breeds, specializing in puppy foundations, obedience, off-leash control, behavior modification, and aggression rehabilitation. My approach is built on structure, clear communication, and consistency, giving both you and your dog the confidence to succeed together.
I don't believe in quick fixes. My goal is lasting results, which means teaching you the tools to reinforce good habits at home long after training ends. Whether you're starting with a new puppy, dealing with unwanted behaviors, or looking for a reliable off-leash companion, I build programs designed for long-term success.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple mission: to guide dogs and empower their owners.

How I Train
Structure
Dogs thrive with clear rules and consistent boundaries. Structure creates safety and confidence.
Clear Communication
The dog does not read your mind. We teach owners to communicate in a language the dog understands.
Consistency
The same expectation, every time, from every person in the home. Consistency is where results actually live.
Lasting Results
We do not chase quick fixes. We build behavior that holds up over years, not weeks.
Owner Education
The dog will learn fast. The owner has to learn too. That is what makes it stick.
At True North Canine Academy, our mission is simple: to guide dogs and empower their owners. Every dog deserves lasting structure, confidence, and control, and every owner deserves the tools to lead with clarity and success.
