Supreme Canine

The facility is outstanding. It’s situated on 10 acres with a creek and an obstacle course. A lot of activities used for training and stimulation of the dog. Obviously Phil has years of experience training dogs of all sizes. Everything was done in a very positive manner. He is all about positive reinforcement. He is into socialization of the animals with people by taking them to Home Depot and Petco. He also socializes the dog with other dogs. We received daily photos and updates on the progress of his training. The fees were very reasonable based on the results. Would highly recommend Supreme Canine. Phil and his team are outstanding.

Phil did an excellent job with Fynn. Fynn had leash aggression, no idea what loose leash walking was, barked at anything and everything and just had a general lack of obedience. Now he walks wonderfully on his leash and leash aggression has decreased. Fynn’s house manners have improved greatly, he barks less and he is more receptive to learning something new. Phil has a love and appreciation for dogs and it shows in his approach to training. Thank you Phil!

Our now ~5 Blue Heeler showed up on our doorstep after we moved into a new neighborhood a few years back. While he immediately showed he could be trained, he always struggled with leash reactivity. From seeing other dogs, to even seeing some of his favorite people, he just couldn’t contain himself and bit at it. In the first year, if I was too close to him, he’d go to nip at me if he couldn’t get the leash. Moreover, he presented as reactive/unpredictable around other dogs. Our neighborhood is social and there are other dogs around all the time. The goal was to have River be around other dogs and not be an absolute menace. Heelers tend to bite first and ask questions later, so as a responsible dog owner, I wasn’t about to let him around other dogs. Phil, at Supreme Canine came recommended by our neighbor as they ALSO had a Heeler that Phil worked with in the past. After hearing about their dog’s success and literally feeling like we were at the end of our rope, we made an appointment to meet Phil for a consult out in Dickson, TN. Let me tell you… the big gates and completely fenced in 11 acres was a perfect backdrop as we rolled into Supreme Canine’s beautiful world-class facility. From the training area, to the doggy cabin, to the creek, to Phil’s pack of dogs, we knew we were in for a major event. The consult went so well that the choice was obvious for us to see how River would be under Supreme Canine’s watchful and carefully trained eyes. Phil came to our house, watched us interact with River, saw all that he was trained to do, and we heard about the program and all that was involved. Other than being completely sad that River was “away,” within the first few days… RIVER WAS OFF LEASH PLAYING WITH OTHER DOGS!!! No muzzle, nothing. The pics and videos sent throughout his stay absolutely PROVED that we had made the right choice in Supreme Canine. We learned that River is quite selective of the dogs he’s wanting to play with, and that he’s much rather be attached to his humans, but to see him come out of his shell and not be a complete menace was the major major win!! More than that - he came back with more commands, gets into a crate, enjoys his fun sessions outside, and we were taught how to take River’s training to the next level. We cannot wait for the additional training sessions that were offered in the package, and his confidence (as ours) has increased tremendously. We’ve already spoke about Supreme Canine to a bunch of our friends and family about Phil, how River did there, and we are excited that friends AND family are already interested in consults. If you’re a dog owner with concerns of any nature, or just want to see your dog thrive in taking their training to the next level, I would recommend reaching out to them for a consult.

Our new golden retriever was doing OK at home with my limited knowledge in training. I called Phil and had a meeting with him regarding what he could offer for our dog Copper. After meeting him at his training facility and home, I was sold on his services. We used Phil’s puppy training program and I must say that copper has a whole new set of skills and we couldn’t be happier. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Phil has really helped us get our two year old Rottie rescue in line. He’s shown us what we need to do to instill good manners and understand commands. We did the two week training. He’s gotten him socialized to other dogs and would take him to different stores for interaction. Walks great on a leash now. He picks him up and returns him to you with thorough instructions. He even came back one day to help us train him to quit chasing cars. Overall, great experience for all of us.
