Patrick Lockett
Breeder, Trainer
Patrick Lockett has been in the German shepherd community for over 25 years. Johann “Hans” Eiban,
Patrick’s grandfather started breeding German shepherds in 1969 under the kennel name, vom
Krumbachertal, out of Amberg, Germany. Hans was a well-respected breeder, judge, and the vice president in the
Amberg community for years. Growing up in Europe allowed Patrick to surround himself with an abundance of
knowledge about the dog training community. Patrick’s love for the breed and the sport of Schutzhund/ IGP
continued throughout his development into the well-rounded trainer he is today.
His discipline for dog training has grown over the course of his studies as he has been mentored and coached by
the best in the industry. In 2019, Patrick retired from his 20-year career as a Military service as a Reconnaissance
and Security specialist to dedicate his time to his true passion, breeding, and training. Patrick’s expertise expanded
once he discovered the world of modern dog training and NePoPo® system created by the grandfather of dog
training, Bart Bellon. NePoPo® is a training system where the behavior of the dog is performed with heart and soul.
NePoPo® is a negative-positive - positive training system. He has since become a NePoPo® Gold Premium Graduate
of Bart Bellon, one of ten in the world.
In the past decade, Patrick has refined his love of dogs by exploring both sides as a German certified helper and IGP
competitor in Germany. He has advanced his experience as a helper and handler by participating in numerous trials
throughout Germany.
Patrick served as the Chairman of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) Legislative
Committee from 2020 to 2021, cchairman of the IACP European Members Committee from 2021-2023 and
currently serves on the IACP board of directors as the oversight for all of Europe.
He currently lives in Florida with his wife Alishia, and four children, where they have a family-owned kennel and
training program that caters to families, K9 Units, Sport, and personal protection to name a few. He also holds
private training, as well as group classes for those interested in obedience, tracking or protection work.
