Okay but really, I can’t say enough great things about Phillip! I was in a bind when my original pet-sitting plans fell through and at the last minute, I reached out to see if he could board and train my 5-month-old puppy, Bijou, while I traveled for work. Despite the short notice, Phillip was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process seamless. From the very first time we spoke, his professionalism, patience, and genuine willingness to help reassured me that Bijou would be in great hands. He even offered to stop by a few days before my trip to meet me and Bijou in person, which really put me at ease.
Throughout the week, Phillip exceeded every expectation I had. I wasn’t sure how much Bijou could learn in just seven days, but I was blown away when I saw the progress he made. Not only did he learn new commands, but he also conquered his fear of stairs and started going on longer walks with confidence! One of the biggest wins for me was how Phillip helped him become more comfortable being alone for longer periods of time—something that honestly used to give ME major anxiety. (Probably more than the dog tbh lol)
On top of all that, Bijou was dealing with a tummy infection and required medication and a specific diet, which Phillip handled with great care. He kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which was such a relief while I was missing my boy.
And when my flight home got canceled due to bad weather, Phillip was more than accommodating, allowing Bijou to stay an extra night with him for a reasonable additional fee.
Beyond being a fantastic trainer, Phillip is also incredibly friendly and easy to work with. He made the entire experience stress-free, and I really appreciated his clear communication and positive attitude. Most importantly, I could tell he truly cared about Bijou and took the time to bond with him. Seeing how comfortable and happy Bijou was in his care made all the difference. I’m really looking forward to future training sessions with him!
If you’re looking for a dog trainer you can fully trust—someone who will not only take amazing care of your dog but also help them become more confident, well-behaved, and happy—Phillip is your guy!

I have a very rambunctious and mischievous 70 pound bernedoodle puppy -- he's adorable but he's trouble! There are plenty of behaviors that have needed fixing, and since getting connected with Phillip, I never looked back.
My dog respects and adores Phillip tremendously, and Phillip has put so much time and effort into teaching me how to command that same respect. We've worked on improving leash walking and off-leash walking as well as putting a stop to jumping and counter-surfing.
Phillip is kind and patient with his clients (both human and canine!), professional, and super experienced. It's no surprise that he's the only non-relative that I've ever trusted to watch my dog!
I am incredibly grateful for all the love Phillip has shown my puppy and for all the tools he's given me to help manage him.

Phillip was an excellent trainer! Very knowledgeable and you can tell he really enjoys what he does and cares for our fur babies. Ace used to have lots of anxiety when going on walks and didn’t listen to commands. Now Ace is much more calmer and focused on walks and can listen to commands. Thank you Phillip! I have already recommended you to my friends and family!
