Patrick Bundock is an American dog trainer and behaviorist with deep roots in the canine world. Coming from a family involved in professional training, kenneling, and conformation for 5 generations, Patrick has dedicated his life to understanding canine behavior and the unique bond between humans and dogs. His no-nonsense, results-driven approach helps dog owners make sense of their pet’s behavior with clarity and compassion.
In 1995, Patrick supported the U.S. FBI’s search and cadaver dog operations during the Oklahoma City bombing. A year later, he joined forces with Australian dog training pioneer David Schmidtke—founder of K-9 Dog Training Melbourne, one of the largest and most respected training clubs in Australia. Together, they launched K-9 Dog Training Bangkok, which has since trained over 10,000 dogs across Thailand and Southeast Asia.
David Schmidtke was a key figure in Australia’s “Golden Age” of dog training in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The groundbreaking methods of this period inspired a generation of trainers and helped shape modern training practices in Australia. As Patrick’s mentor and later business partner, David brought his extensive experience and innovation to K-9 Bangkok, helping establish it as a premier training center in the region.
Together, Patrick and David have worked with elite units including the Royal Thai Police K9 Unit, Royal Thai Army, and the Royal Veterinary & Remount Department. Patrick led major reform efforts for military and law enforcement dog programs, developed contraband detection dog training for Bangkok International Airport, and was instrumental in founding the K9 Unit for Task Force 90, a special operations counter-terrorism force. He has been recognized by the Royal Thai Army with an occupational badge from the Royal Veterinary & Remount Department for his contributions.
Patrick has also provided dogs and training for film and television—including work with National Geographic, Greenies, Subaru, Ford, and several seasons of Cesar Millan’s shows—and served for over a decade as the personal dog trainer to HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana.
Their shared mission is to elevate the standards of dog training in Asia through experience, innovation, and a deep understanding for the canine-human bond.
At K-9 Dog Training Bangkok, our team is composed of experienced professionals with backgrounds in canine behavior, education, veterinary science, and animal welfare. Each member brings specialized knowledge that contributes to a structured, evidence-based training environment focused on results, consistency, and high standards of care.
Our trainers have worked with thousands of dogs across all breeds, temperaments, and behavioral profiles—from basic obedience to complex behavioral rehabilitation. Many hold certifications from leading international institutions and possess practical experience across a wide range of canine cases.
Team members include certified veterinary technicians, educators, and animal care professionals with extensive hands-on experience. Their ability to assess behavior accurately, develop effective training plans, and clearly communicate with owners is central to our approach. This ensures not only the successful training of the dog, but also the transfer of knowledge and skills to the owner.
Whether leading structured classes, addressing advanced behavioral issues, or supporting individual training objectives, our team is committed to delivering clear, consistent, and effective outcomes through informed practice and professional integrity.
