Phil's Dog Training

Phil was absolutely fantastic! He came to help address some behavior issues with my 8-year-old Cairn Terrier, Mia — things like marking in the house, jumping on guests, barking at the TV, and pulling on the leash during stroller walks. With a one-year-old in the house who loves tugging on Mia’s tail and fur, I really needed some guidance on how to manage both worlds calmly and confidently. Even after just one session, I saw a dramatic improvement. Phil was incredibly professional, patient, and supportive — he pointed out what I was already doing right and helped fine-tune my approach so Mia could respond better. He also set realistic expectations and made it clear that I could reach out anytime, day or night, if I needed help troubleshooting new behaviors. Both Mia and my baby absolutely adored him (I think they were competing for his attention!). I walked away feeling empowered, reassured, and back in charge — with the tools to stay consistent and firm. I honestly wish I had more “problems” just so I could work with him again. Highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and results-driven dog trainer!

Phil is amazing! My two bassets have never been better behaved. He came to our home, and instantly, my dogs obeyed all the basic commands. My dogs are four and one. The older one was extremely reactive to people and cars around our house. During training, FedEx came to drop off a package, and it felt like I had a completely different dog. I know I’ll need time to relearn how I interact with my dogs, but the sense of relief we already feel is incredible. Thank you, Phil. We can’t wait to have you back and show you all the progress we make.

Phil is an amazing trainer. We had tried Petco which was terrible and then another trainer who wanted to put a prong collar on your 4 month of puppy. Appalled at the idea of that, we reached out to Phil. Phil not only trained our puppy, Bentlee, but also trained my Husband and I ! We are on the right track with the correct dog commands and Phil had Bentlee walking on the leash without pulling. He's going to be a big dog so we are excited to be working with Phil who is definitely an expert. Do not hesitate to call Phil as our dog after one session is actually acting more obedient than ever. Phil is absolutely amazing.

In under 90 minutes Phil totally transformed our two dogs (and us). With a few tweaks to what we had been attempting for the past two years, Phil had both dogs learning new commands and obeying old commands in (literally) one try. In 2 years we hadn't been and to walk our dogs on a leash at all, let alone together. In under 3 minutes Phil had me walking with both dogs in a heel position. The most impressive part is that the shift isn't temporary. We've been keeping up with his techniques and the dogs continue to improve and we are feeling more confident and motivated! If you want to have better trained dogs without having to carry treats or a clicker around forever, call Phil. Absolutely incredible.
