Phil’s path to becoming a Dog Listener started when his family rescued a special dog named Abby from
Labs4Rescue. At the time, he had no idea about the journey he would be privileged to take
with Abby. Abby’s behavioral challenges were the motivation for Phil to learn a lot more
about dogs and find a way to help Abby overcome her fears. In the process, Phil discovered
Jan Fennell, The Dog Listener who had developed a revolutionary method for training dogs
based on their instincts. In April 2009, Phil attended Jan Fennell’s Foundation and Advanced
Canine Communications courses, thereby becoming a Certified Dog Listener. Through in-home
consultations, volunteer work with Labs4Rescue and other rescue organizations, and
public talks, Phil has been honored to help hundreds of dog owners and their dogs.
