The process
Most clients who come for their first evaluation don't go anywhere else. Come see why.
00
Tell us about your dog, then book the $250 consultation, evaluation & temperament test with Phil. Book any program afterwards and the full $250 is credited toward it.
00
A professional consultation, behavioral evaluation, and temperament test/assessment so we know exactly what your dog needs before training begins.
00
Your dog moves into a fully immersive board-and-train program on the estate, living, training, and growing with the environmental exposure, socialization, world-class training, and repetition that produces lasting change.
What we fix
Dog-on-dog or dog-on-human aggression rehabilitated through structured, immersive work, not one-off tricks.
Lunging, barking, and explosive reactions on leash or at the fence, addressed at the root cause.
The cases other trainers won't touch. Send us the hard ones. That's where we shine.
Structured early training that builds obedience, socialization, and confidence from the start.
Purpose-built protection dog training for owners who need a dog that is both disciplined and dependable.
Long-term behavior change for dogs with a history of failed training, fear, or unpredictable responses.
Free training guide · with a free client profile
Phil's free guide to clear communication, strong relationships and reliable behavior. Create a free client profile to unlock it, then read it before your consultation.

- Marker words that work
- Place, recall, leash & crate

About your trainer
Phil Goldstine isn't your average dog trainer, and he'll be the first to tell you why that matters. The title "dog trainer" is completely unregulated. The teenager at the big-box pet store holds the same title as Phil's primary mentor, a two-time world champion and 15-time national champion.
As a retired U.S. Army Ranger and Infantry First Sergeant with 24 years of service, including directing elite K9 tactical teams in combat, Phil's standards have never dropped. He is certified by the International Association of Canine Professionals and the American Kennel Club.
The facility speaks for itself: 11 fully fenced acres, a creek, custom training structures, and an immersive board-and-train environment that no small kennel can replicate.
