About Phil's Dog Training

Serving Central Connecticut Dog training is most effective when it takes place in your home. This is where your dog lives and therefore where most of the behavior issues take place. When I come to your home I can train your dog in a place where he feels comfortable and is not distracted by other dogs. If your puppy or adult dog is having any kind of behavioral issue such as jumping, excessive barking, pulling on walks, eating off the counter, etc. please give me call. Most behavior issues can be addressed with the right correction at the right time. Depending on how much time and effort you put in to it, most dogs learn quickly.

We adopted a rescue dog who is now 7mo’s. She needed basic training, especially to stop pulling and jumping. We called Phil because he had many great reviews and experience in training dogs. Phil came to our house and quickly had our dog under control using positive behavior reinforcement training. He was also able to train us!! Corrected several things that we were doing wrong… Thank you Phil!! You were awesome!! We are excited to continue Sasha’s training every day, now that we have a much better understanding of how to do it.

My fiancé and I rescued a 2.5 year old Bernese mountain dog, Dakota, a little over a year ago and throughout the year we’ve noticed certain behaviors that needed correction, such as pulling us when we walk him on leash. I recently got Phil’s contact info from a friend and they couldn’t have spoken more highly of him so my fiancé and I decided it was time to have Dakota trained. We are so grateful for everything Phil taught us and Dakota in the time we spent together. It’s like we have a new dog - he listens when given a command and Phil gave us the information, tools, and knowledge we need to reinforce everything we worked on in today’s session. I’m 100% confident that Dakota will listen and his behavior will be permanently changed for the better. Phil, we thank you for the knowledge you’ve imparted on us, and for investing your time in training Dakota (and the two of us). We couldn’t be more grateful and truly couldn’t recommend Phil enough.

Phil was amazing. His approach is simple but so effective. He’s was great with all 4 of our dogs from 12 weeks to 12 years. I cannot say enough and I am excited to keep working with him.

Phil was great with my puppy Axel! He gave me great tools as a first time dog owner. I have implemented his training and it worked instantly!
