The Reliable Dog

School of Dog Training

We are a locally owned business that takes pride in what we do. We treat every dog as if they are a part of our family.

The Reliable Dog offers dog training services to Cape Cod, the South Shore, and the South Coast of Massachusetts.

Our Method

Our holistic approach to dog training takes into account your dog's whole life, from puppy years to senior years and everything in between. Our goal is to set up your dog for a life full of successful interactions with people and other animals. We employ a “building block” approach to training, targeting different levels of conditioning to make communication and learning clear, effective, and fun.

Our training is appropriate for all ages, breeds, and temperaments. We help you train your dog to adapt to any situation life might throw at them. Ask yourself these questions:

Can my dog be touched?

Can my dog relax in new environments?

Can my dog be calm in their crate?

Can my dog be away from me without being anxious? (separation anxiety)

Can my dog be approached by new people?

Does my dog pull on the leash?

Does my dog display aggression towards other people or dogs?

Does my dog have any issues around meals or food?

Our training is designed to build a strong, healthy relationship between you and your dog. Together we will address problem behaviors and create a plan to help you handle challenges that might come up in the future.
