About
At Legacy K9 Consulting, we provide professional, results-driven private dog training built around real experience—not trends. As a certified Master Trainer, I bring years of hands-on work training everything from family pets to high-level working dogs.
Every dog is different, which is why all training is one-on-one and fully customized to your dog’s behavior, temperament, and your goals—whether that’s basic obedience, problem behaviors, or advanced control.
My approach is balanced, fair, and practical, focused on building confident dogs and knowledgeable handlers with results that last. If you’re looking for experienced, no-nonsense training from a Master Trainer who takes your dog’s success seriously, you’re in the right place.

absolutely happy with Joe. He taught us in one visit how Lily would react to certain commands. Can’t wait to see him again.

My dog Jadis is a rescue and has some bad habits like leash pulling and barking. Phillips did a great job helping me to understand my dog and implement changes. I will say… don’t be like me and expect immediate change overnight … you will have to work with your pup and invest time in their progress to see results. Looking forward to our next session.

Candy had two trainers before meeting Phillips. Both of them were good but Phillips is on another level. He fixed my dog’s stubborn pulling her leash in only 1 SESSION!! Yes that is what it took! And I am writing this review 2 months after his training and still long lasting results with my dog. HE IS THE BEST! Thank you so much again :)

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based on what you need, not what I’m trying to sell you
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet in person and observe both the dog and the owner in the environment where the issues or training needs attention. After initial observations I will develop a training plan for both and set goals to meet the need.
