Phyllis is quite the extraordinary trainer. Not merely because she’s skilled, smart and uncannily intuitive about dogs, but because she’s all those things for frazzled, overwrought new puppy owners. We had a new puppy whom we wanted to keep wee wee pad trained and Phyllis – with her copious and precise instructions and emotional support on the phone and in emails - was our steady hand while we worked to train him.
Once you go to Phyllis’s classes or have her over for privates, she’s in your camp. She’s got your back, rooting for you and always there to guide you. She seems to do it for the sheer love of dogs but also because she’s just a really good person. She’s got the same commitment for older dogs too.
Walking around the city with Phyllis is like seeing her gallery of smart, happy kids who managed to grow up and become well-adjusted. Except they’re dogs. She’s a gem. Like nobody else you’ll find in this city.
