Meet Your Dog Trainers

Every dog trainer on the The Dog Wizard Powder Springs team is extensively trained and experienced in balanced training techniques that address a range of behavioral issues to help your dog reach their full potential.

Phil

Since the beginning of Phil's dog training career in 2017, he has been the proud owner and operator of The Richmond Dog Wizard and an essential part of The Atlanta Dog Wizard's team of qualified trainers. He has now expanded his career into becoming the lead trainer and owner of The Powder Springs Dog Wizard. Phil believes that a well trained dog can bring joy to your household, and he strives to bring out the best in every dog he meets while embracing their own unique personalities.

Before finding his calling as a dog training professional, Phil dabbled in a wide array of jobs. From dishwashing to electrical, landscaping to joining the Marine Corps, there was just something missing in his life. He then found The Dog Wizard and loved their model of proven success, philosophy, and balanced training to help dogs and their owners strengthen relationships. He has been working with dogs ever since and the rest is history!

Phil shares his home with his wife Amy, dog Rhea, cats Hercules and Athena, and children Mia and Oliver. When he's not training or busy running the business, you can find him playing video games, fishing at a local pond, or spending quality time with his family (all 2-legged and 4-legged members).

Phil was the best! He was punctual, always calm and patient. My yorkie responded well to him. He was kind in correcting me audibly and visually. With his direction we completed what we set out to learn. It was a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Phil to anyone wanting to train their dog!

5 STARS!!!!! Phil was amazing! We took the Private Puppy Training course for our Cockapoo Tyrion and are more than happy with the results. Phil came to our house for personal 1 on 1 sessions. The lessons and strategies REALLY work! We definitely got all of our money’s worth 10 times over. Phil was super professional and personable and was even flexible with our scheduling. We plan to enroll in the adult dog course once Tyrion is old enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾

Phil at The Dog Wizard is amazing! He's incredibly patient and truly takes the time not only to train your dog—but to train you as a dog parent too (which I definitely needed, lol). He's been such a big help with my very active pup, and I’ve seen real progress. I highly recommend him to anyone with a high-energy dog or anyone looking to build a better bond with their furry friend. Thank you, Phil!

Phil of Dog Wizard of Powder Spring, Ga gave me his world of knowledge in dog training.

Max and I are so greatful with the experience of dog training Phil has guided us with...thanks Phil in all you do in the world of dog training.

Trust me when I say this...Max came to me as a out of control 3 yr old, 85 lb Belgian Malinois. He's now a well balanced gentleman.

Phil Max still looks for you on Thursdays for his pepperoni treats...🤣

About The Dog Wizard Powder Springs

Our dog training goes beyond basic commands like Sit, Come, and Down. Our approach focuses on helping your dog make better choices and respond to you instead of their impulses.

We cover all the essential obedience commands you need to communicate effectively with your dog. But more importantly, we teach your dog to stay engaged and follow through with these commands, even in the most distracting environments.

Our goal is to enhance your dog’s understanding of obedience, making it a natural part of their behavior, not just a few tricks they perform when they feel like it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Dog Wizard Powder Springs offers a free evaluation. This enables our trainers to talk with you, in depth, learn about your dog, go over your training goals, and find a program that works for you. Give us a call and we will help you set one up.
The Dog Wizard trainers are well versed in a variety of training tools; from food to collars to remote collars. We know that not all dogs do well with every tool and we will help you decide what tool is best for your dog as well as what tools you’re comfortable with using. At the end of the day, whatever tool you’re comfortable in using will be the one you’re most consistent in using and that’s what’s most important to us.
It is never too late to start teaching your dog new habits. It will take more time and effort than teaching a new puppy but you will love the outcome.

In order to know how long it will take to train your dog, we will need to do a free consultation. During your consultation, we will get to understand what you are looking to gain from the training as well as evaluate your dog to see what we will need to do to get him where you would like him to be. At that point, we will be able to give you a timeline for his training.

We do not have a one size fits all approach to training. Each dog owner team that has a free evaluation will have a customized program designed to fit your specific needs. While the cost of training is a wide range depending on a myriad of factors and personalization to your and your dog’s needs, training programs start at $250.
