  Director 

He has quite a pack of his own at home with three dogs and three cats, all rescues. Coby has loved and owned dogs since the day he was born. He has spent the last 4 +years learning dog behavior and received his Master Dog Trainer Certification from Highland Canine Training, LLC. Coby has a natural gift for training dogs and is a huge asset to SRAS in helping to keep animals in their homes. He has devoted his life to rescue and is determined to save as many lives as he possibly can!

  Pat is originally from Boulder, Colorado, where he graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and later a Teaching Certificate. He spent the majority of his career teaching Algebra and Earth Science at Hobbs Middle School in Shelley, along with a couple years teaching math at Hillcrest High School in Ammon. He’s excited to take that education experience and apply it to Idaho K9 Academy group classes. His goal is to promote animal welfare by helping people incorporate dogs into their homes and families – particularly shelter dogs. He and his wife have adopted several large, furry mystery mixes from local shelters over the past 20 years and enjoy taking them to the dog park and all the dog-friendly businesses in town!
