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.

Phil is everything you want in a dog trainer! He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, affordable and determined to help you train your dog. Our 2 year old Goldendoodle developed an aggressive resource guarding habit with food, toys, and her spot to sleep. Our dog would growl, show teeth, and had charged at us aggressively on almost a daily basis. It was a serious issue, where my wife and I had become scared of our dog at times and we were at a complete loss on what to do. In a one hour training session, Phil diagnosed what was causing the aggression and showed my wife and I how to correct/modify the aggressive behavior. In 1 week of following Phil’s training technique, we had improvement. In 3 weeks of following Phil’s training technique, our dog no longer exhibits resource guarding aggression. We have taken back control of our house thanks to Phil! If you looking for a dog trainer, HIRE Phil!!

Phil was great he came out to my house I have 2 dogs my first dog behaves but is very vocal. My second dog we just got has had behavioral issues and we were concerned that if we didn’t correct his behavior soon that we would have to give him up. He came over and within one hour our dogs were behaving and listening. Phil knows what he is talking about and we really appreciate him being honest with us and helping us. I highly recommend 😊

Phil is amazing, and definitely the dog whisperer. He took our high energy dog who absolutely HATED cars during our walks and had her walking right by his side on a main road in Plainville in a matter of minutes. You can really tell how much he loves what he does and the dogs can sense that too. Before he left our dogs were in love with him. Don't know what we would do without Phil!

Phil is amazing! He was able to make my husband and I feel comfortable and confident about training our dogs. If you are looking for someone to help you with your dog, stop searching and give Phil a call. After one session we couldn’t believe what our dog was capable of. We will continue to learn from Phil and work with him.

Phil was great to work with. He really made things simple with our two dogs. It’s only been a day but we have seen some improvement already. I feel more confident in correcting my dogs behavior. There’s so much information out there it can be overwhelming. Phil made it simple to follow and understand.
