11 acres. A private training estate. A world-class trainer who's studied under MANY national and world champion dog trainers. Your dog deserves the real thing, and so do you.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Is your dog reactive or aggressive toward other dogs, strangers, or family members?
  • Have other trainers told you your dog is too far gone, or made no lasting difference?
  • Are you tired of weekend-certified hobbyists charging premium rates for a 45-minute in-home session?
  • Does your dog's behavior stop you from enjoying parks, patios, and travel around Nashville?
  • Do you worry your dog could bite or seriously hurt someone if the wrong situation arises?
  • Do you want a legitimate, credentialed professional, not someone who printed a business card last week?

Wouldn't it be nice to have peaceful walks with your dog by your side, without all the drama and embarrassment of pulling, lunging, and barking?

The Problem With "Dog Trainers"

Anyone can print a business card and call themselves a trainer. The industry is completely unregulated, which means the gap between the best and the worst is enormous, and your dog pays the price when you choose wrong.

At Supreme Canine, credentials aren't a marketing line. Phil travels several times per year to the nation's most elite private facilities to stay current on the newest, gentlest, and most effective behavioral tools. He holds certifications from the International Association of Canine Professionals and the American Kennel Club.

When unqualified trainers step into this field without legitimate knowledge, it is the well-meaning families who struggle and the dogs who suffer. That ends here.

Start With an Evaluation. See Why No One Leaves.

Most clients who come for their first evaluation don't go anywhere else. Come see why.

01

Adventure Day Evaluation

Your dog spends a full, FREE day on our 11-acre private estate, playing, socializing, and experiencing an environment most dogs never get access to, while we observe how they move through the world.

02

Behavioral Assessment & Diagnosis

Included with every Adventure Day, we provide a free professional consultation, behavioral evaluation, and temperament test/assessment.

03

Immersive Board & Train

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.

Specific Behavior Problems We Address

Aggression

Dog-on-dog or dog-on-human aggression rehabilitated through structured, immersive work, not one-off tricks.

Reactivity

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.

Behavioral Rehabilitation

Training Programs Built for Real Results

Every Supreme Canine program is a fully immersive board-and-train experience. No one-hour in-home sessions. No shortcuts. Dogs live, train, and grow on the property, getting the environmental exposure, socialization, and repetition that actually produces lasting behavioral change.

Every program is built around your dog's specific needs, behavioral history, and your goals as an owner.

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.

Phil has made international flights, trained at elite private facilities across the country, and studied under some of the most decorated canine professionals alive. He is certified by the International Association of Canine Professionals and the American Kennel Club.

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. At Supreme Canine, they never will.

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. Once you see it, you'll understand why clients don't go anywhere else.
