Set a title tag up to be no more than a couple of words that make cohesive sense - not a list of keywords. It should include your keywords in them, most def, but not to the point where it looks like you're just keyword stuffing.

It's important to remember the title tag is what people see when they do a search. If your title doesn't accurately reflect what the page is about you may rank well in the search results but get little traffic which is the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve.

Code your entire site for visitors and not for spiders :) That's all I have to say.

I agree completely that you should build your site for people first. The trick is to work within that framework and still get the SEO job done. In this case I would suggest that because most searchers aren't going to travel a great distance to get their dog trained, that you use something like "Expert Dog Training in Mytown" for example. It's also lots easier to rank well for a term that's "local". Experience also shows me that you can effectively use up to six or seven words in the title without too much dilution and it helps to make your title make more sense.
