Puppy training with Phillip
Confidence, play, clear communication, and healthy habits for the dog your puppy is becoming.
A home-based program for puppies who are ready to build confidence, useful habits, and a healthy routine before problems become patterns.
Before you book
Puppy Foundations is for puppies 6 months or younger who are current on age-appropriate core vaccines.
Program fit is confirmed after reviewing your questionnaire. Age, temperament, and current experience matter more than a single number.
Trust · Fulfillment · Clarity, from the beginning.
Puppy philosophy
Puppies need structure, exploration, and rest in the same day. I help them adjust to your routine, prevent avoidable habits, and learn to feel confident in the world.
Engagement, thoughtful socialization, and safe opportunities to learn with experienced mentor dogs when appropriate.
Play, exploration, using their brain, rest, and learning how to settle.
Crate training, leash and recall foundations, household manners, and boundaries your puppy can understand.
What’s going well? What’s been difficult? What would you love to be able to do together? Let’s start there.
Start with the questionnaire and I’ll follow up directly about your dog, your goals, and the best next step.
