What we offer

Training built around your family

Most behavior problems come down to one thing — clear communication between you and your dog. Every program starts with a free evaluation so the plan fits your dog, your home, and your goals.

🐶

Puppy Foundations

Start right on day one. Socialization, bite inhibition, crate training and the basics — before bad habits ever form.

🎯

Obedience Training

Rock-solid obedience on and off leash — heel, recall, sit, stay — that holds up in the real world, not just the backyard.

🐕

Behavior Modification

Reactivity, leash pulling, jumping, anxiety, resource guarding. We take the tough cases and get results where others couldn't.

Family & Personal Protection Dogs

For families who want it all: a gentle, social companion at home with the trained confidence to protect on command. A properly trained protection dog is calmer and more predictable than an untrained one — protection is an on-command behavior, never a default state, and always safe around kids and other pets.

Reno Meringer & Euphoric K9

Reno didn't get into dog training to run a business — he got into it because he genuinely loves dogs and believes most behavior problems come down to a lack of clear communication between dog and owner.

Now based in Glendale and serving the West Valley and greater Phoenix metro, Reno built Euphoric K9 around a balanced philosophy — reward-based methods paired with clear boundaries — to create dogs that are confident, calm, and reliable in any situation. What sets him apart is that he trains the whole family, not just the dog, so the results stick long after sessions end.

Outside of training, Reno reaches over 757,000 subscribers on YouTube across Life With Labradors and his dog-training channel Echo & Reno.

5.0 stars — every review five-star. A few of the dogs and families Reno has worked with.

★★★★★

Reno trained our 2 year old French bulldog. We needed help with our pup who was obnoxiously jumping on people when they came into our home. The transformation has been incredible.

Super amazing experience with Reno! He helped me with all the basics I needed to get started on training my dog and it has been a night and day difference.

E Emmy Tanaka2 reviews · Google
★★★★★

Reno has worked wonders with my dog! She was reactive with other dogs and people. Her recall was non-existent. She's now able to come when called and is so much calmer.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog training cost?+

Every dog and situation is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all price. That's exactly what the free evaluation is for — call or text Reno at (602) 820-5770, and after he understands your dog and your goals he'll give you a straight answer on the right program and what it costs. No pressure.

Do you train puppies?+

Yes — puppy foundations is one of the best places to start. Socialization, potty and crate training, bite inhibition, and the early basics set your dog up so the harder problems never develop. The earlier we start, the easier everything else becomes.

Do you work with aggression or reactivity?+

Yes, and it's one of our specialties. Reactivity to other dogs, aggression toward strangers, resource guarding, anxiety — these are exactly the cases we take on, including dogs other trainers gave up on. Not sure if we can help? Just call and Reno will give you an honest answer.

What dog breeds do you work with?+

All of them. German Shepherds, Labradors, French Bulldogs, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Standard Poodles, mixed breeds, and everything in between. Breed matters less than temperament — every dog gets an individual assessment.

What is board and train, and is it right for my dog?+

Board and train means your dog stays with Reno for an intensive, immersive program. It's ideal for busy owners, dogs with significant behavior issues, or anyone who wants fast, lasting results. You get your dog back transformed — and Reno walks you through exactly how to maintain it.

Do you also train protection dogs?+

Yes. Alongside our family obedience and behavior programs, Reno offers personal and family protection training as a premium tier. A properly trained protection dog is a calm, social family pet first — protection is an on-command behavior, never a default state, and it's always safe around children and other pets.

What areas do you serve?+

We're based in Glendale and serve the West Valley — Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Avondale and Sun City — plus the greater Phoenix metro including Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale. Outside these areas? Call (602) 820-5770 and we'll work it out.

Will I be involved in the training?+

Absolutely — it's non-negotiable. Reno trains you alongside your dog so you can communicate clearly, give commands correctly, and keep the results long after sessions end. Results that only work when the trainer is around aren't results.
