This is the best training program in town. You are given all the same tools as some of the more expensive programs. Phyliss is amazing. She knows her dogs and humans. My dog went through all the classes. We learned about each other and bonded even more.Don’t wait! Start them young it will pay off.

Phyllis is AMAZING! She definitely knows what she’s doing. I’ve been working with her on my 2-year-old lab mix for fear aggression. Just within a few sessions, I could see a change in him by using what she taught us. Would highly recommend!

I have taken 2 of my dogs through 3 different classes and I am so grateful that I was able to find someone that does it at local rec centers in St Pete and also is very affordable! Stick with the training and you will see results! I definitely recommend Phyllis to all new dog owners!
