Phil’s Pup Camp

Phil was great. Free home visit. Our dog loved him. We loved him. She improved, we improved!

This man is the dog whisperer. We adopted our 6 month old golden-​doodle puppy about 4 months ago and at first I was convinced the dog was deaf. She absolutely wouldn’t listen to me. Simple things like calling her name, saying «no!!» loudly (to get her to stop mulling my kids among other things) — wouldn’t even garner so much as a flinch from her. When I had her checked and learned she wasn’t deaf, and this behavior still went on, I was sure we must just be stuck with a really dumb dog who was growing rapidly into a large monster. She was the last of her litter mates for sale so I honestly was convinced maybe this was the reason and we were doomed. Turns out though, through just one house visit from Phil, the dog is actually brilliant and I’m the idiot. She responded to him immediately and within an hour he had me, my husband and my kids getting her to look at us, come to us, sit and even lay down. WITHIN AN HOUR. I’m floored. We’re now going through his classes and have her staying with him next week for further training. I found him through my friend who also has a golden doodle who has excellent manners (due to Phil). VERY thankful for him!

I couldn’t be happier with Phil’s Pup Camp training! He was great with my dog Charlie and his classes are super chill and family friendly. That being said this is key for me. My kids learned a great deal from him as well and was thrilled to participate in his training sessions! He is reasonably priced and you can just tell he loves what he does and truly cares… you are not just a paycheck. He puts in so much more time than is necessary. I have been to other training classes and I must say of all the ones I have been to Phil is the one I would recommend to any and every one. You don’t need to dominate your dog or beat him up to get him to listen or respect you and Phil proves this with his positive New Age training techniques.

Phil is excellent in handling and training pups, but also teaching humans! He goes above and beyond in so many ways. First class!

Phil has a wonderful way with dogs and his dedication, love and compassion for our canine friends is second to none. If you are looking for a trainer, give Phil a call.
