The Reliable Dog

If you are looking for a trainer and willing to put in the time, The Reliable Dog is it. We had done our research prior to reaching out and I must say nothing compares! Ian and the whole team were nothing short of amazing! From the intake, ongoing communication, board & train and support after his training was completed. Ian and his team were patient with our pup and us! All the tools were implemented and we saw, and continue to see, results. We also completed an in-home evaluation as we are expecting our first child and the information was so helpful. Our pup is slowly building his confidence with our support and has shown us his true capabilities thanks to finding The Reliable Dog. Fur-ever grateful!!

One meeting with Ian convinced me that The Reliable Dog was the best choice. I have a 4 year old 13 lb. cranky boy who made me dread walking him or taking him anywhere. I moved furniture so he couldn’t see out the windows. He just barked, and barked and barked at anything that moved. Gus, the cranky one and his sister Charli, who has picked up some of his bad habits attend Day School at the Reliable Dog and we have signed on for more training. I am amazed at the change in both, but especially Gus, after such a short period of time. Ian has also educated myself on their continued training. You give Ian a problem, he comes back with a solution. With continued help from Ian, Sophia and the Reliable Dog Team Gus and Charli will be living their “best life”. We now enjoy our walks and yes the fu

Ian and staff have really helped us with our somewhat rambunctious puppy without breaking her spirit. Walking her on the leash without her pulling is a much happier and safer experience for us all. And, she is happy to go to the training center! Tail wags, and everything.

I brought my 13–14 month catahoula mix here, and the difference has been incredible. She struggled with separation anxiety and poor listening skills, but after the training program, she's much more confident being left alone, responsive, and well behaved. The insight into how the dog thinks and why they do certain things helped me understand her better. Ian provided the foundation for a successful future for my dog and I. I'm grateful for the tools and skills I learned through them as a first time dog owner.

We took our German shepherd to The Reliable Dog with many issues. Ian and his staff were great.They assessed our dog who had little self confidence and was becoming aggressive. They tried different methods until they found what worked best. After they trained the dog they trained us. We now have a loving well behaved dog that gets along with her canine brother and sister. Many thanks to The Reliable Dog.
