We were at our wits end with Benji digging the garden and the usual puppy behaviour. Philip was the best, he gave us a fantastic plan going forward for Benji and we can see massive results already two weeks on.

Considering drastic measures. His behaviour, his territorial nature , alongside being a fierce protector was causing a lot of stress and tension in our home. As a last resort I called Philip who calmed my nervous system straight away.What I loved about Philips approach was he saw the world from Fentons eyes and helped us understand his world more and how it’s all about management. Supporting us in building routines that work for Fenton. Thank you Philip for opening our eyes , restoring calm in our home and helping us enjoy our dog Fenton again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sinead Carey18/11/2024Philips advice is clear and easy to follow.

His instructions are clear and he explains his reasoning behind them very well. He is very patient and kind. Its definitely the best decision I made I only wish I did it sooner.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Aoife McNamara10/11/2024The help I've received from Philip has been great, for both myself and my dog. I have a two year old maltipoo who was displaying bad behaviour and basically ruling the roost at home. Philip spent an evening with us and explained to me why Teddy was behaving the way he was. He gave me valuable tips on how to overcome this behaviour and things have been improving ever since. He is always at the end of the phone and this is a wonderful support to have. Thanks Philip for all your help, Aoife & Teddy.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Deirdre Hanlon09/11/2024Philip has been a huge help to us in understanding our dogs’ behaviour and building routines that work. He is extremely passionate, knowledgeable and thorough. Excellent service!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Chloe Leamy09/11/2024Working with Philip was a complete game-changer for us at home! Right from the start, he brought a calm and steady presence that really helped my 7-month-old husky pup, Yogi, who was always nervous and barking a lot. Philip was incredibly patient with Yogi, and in just a few hours, I could already see a huge difference. The whole atmosphere changed, and Yogi was responding so well to Philip’s guidance. What impressed me most was how Philip explained everything in a way I could easily follow, and he took the time to make sure I understood each step. He didn’t rush through the session and made sure I felt comfortable with all the techniques, which I know will help us long-term. The support he provided has given me so much confidence, and our home feels way more peaceful now. I can’t recommend Philip enough. He’s truly skilled and dedicated, and knowing I can reach out to him anytime for support is a huge comfort. Thank you, Philip, for all your help and encouragement!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tara White07/11/2024Rolo was my mother’s dog, they lived in a rural place. When we took him on after she became ill, he was nervous, reactive and extremely vocal. After months of barking we thought he might never adapt to life with our family. One day I googled ‘dog whisperer Ireland’ and Philip Alain came up, well that’s the truth. Philip could see straight away that Rolo had nowhere to be in our house, no den or safe place, no base of Rolo operations. This left him feeling vulnerable all the time, constantly on edge. Philip introduced the crate and after a short time Rolo felt secure enough to finally switch off and go to sleep. Philip explained that Rolo will need phases of down time in his crate, his den, to give him the deep rest he has lacked the past five years. Philip’s approach is from behind the eyes of the animal. His work is instinctive, effective, remarkable. His methods are transparent (you stay with the dog, he takes videos of the training and sends them on to you for reference) and his care and guidance is thorough, promising lifelong loyalty and support, which is pretty incredible. I am grateful to have this understanding of our dog, and very glad for a home with some harmony to it, following the program Philip came up with. I recommend Clare Dog Training Ireland without reservation.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Daryn Keary04/11/2024We contacted Philip about two months ago because our 1.5-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Murphy, had become very reactive and territorial. Philip created a tailored crate training plan, complete with specific commands and tools to address these issues. Although it’s still early, we've already noticed a big improvement, and it's reassuring to know that Philip is always available for feedback and support. We’re excited to see how much more progress Murphy will make in the next two months!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
