We understand dog training can be frustrating, that’s why we are here to help.
Dog training is a process of understanding the pups emotional state, body language and reinforcing appropriate behavior. In turn, the dog learns how to understand and communicate with you. Our expert trainers will help create a life lasting human-animal bond that will keep both ends of the leash working together to create perfection in training.

Happy Pet Parent Stories
We love reinventing how our clients live their lives with their pups!
“I have known Phil for years as a technician at our vet. When I heard that he was stepping away from that position to start a dog training company I had no doubt that he would be exactly what a lot of dog owners would need! Fast forward to when we found ourselves needing a trainer. (FYI…when you lose a 17 year old Shih Tzu and your husband has a great idea to get a German Shorthair Pointer you will definitely question your sanity!)
Phil is a very patient, understanding and dog-loving human. He has an ability to convey “why” things are happening the way that they are and gives solutions for change. His method of training never includes fear or infliction of pain on the animal. That is HUGE for me. I want our dog to behave because he is rewarded in a positive way, not because he is afraid of the consequences.
Max (our GSP) is just a work in progress by nature of the breed. We were not surprised, we did our research on his personality/energy level and disposition… but I think that asking for Phil’s help was a necessity.
In theory everyone wants a well behaved dog. But not everyone is willing to put the time and energy into making that happen. So you need to be realistic. This training with Phil is the tools that you need to start the process. It won’t happen overnight but with consistency and effort, I think that Phil (and his associates at Reale Dog Training) are the perfect starting point. I would recommend them to anyone.”
