Nature: Train Animal skill feat: Do the trained animals count as allies?

[Corvo Spiritwind]

Would they function for flanking and be affected by "allies" targeting spells?

[Fuzzy-Wuzzy]

The only definition of "ally" is "someone on your side" (not yourself). If a trained dog (say) is following you around and obeying your commands, and especially if it's attacking people for you, I'd say it's definitely on your side. YMMV; check with GM before committing resources.
