Everyone say hello to Phil! Phil is a four-month-old Vizsla who has joined me for our Three-Week Puppy Board and Train Program! He’s a sweet little guy with plenty of personality, but he can be a bit nervous when he’s in new places or meeting new people. Once he gets comfortable and excited, though, his puppy energy really comes out! Phil loves jumping all over people, getting right in their faces, and occasionally showing off those puppy teeth with a little too much play biting.
Over the next twenty-one days, we’ll be working through all of those typical puppy behaviors while building a strong foundation of obedience, manners, confidence, and impulse control. We’ll also spend plenty of time exposing Phil to new environments and experiences so he can learn how to stay calm and confident wherever we go.
He’s got a lot of growing and learning ahead of him, but I’m excited to see how much he can accomplish! Stay tuned for Phil’s three-week transformation!

After picking up Phil today, we headed over to Almansor Park to spend some time getting to know each other! He was a little timid when we first arrived, taking some time to check out his new surroundings and figure out who I was. Luckily, that shyness didn’t stick around for long! Before I knew it, Phil was coming out of his shell and showing me plenty of his puppy personality.
Once he got comfortable, the jumping and nipping started, along with plenty of affection. Phil is definitely a cuddly little guy and loves being close to me, although he’s still learning that jumping all over people and using his mouth isn’t the best way to say hello!
After our time at the park, we headed home, where Phil settled in surprisingly quickly and took a well-deserved afternoon nap. He’s been a very pleasant little guy to have around so far, and I’m already looking forward to helping him build his confidence, learn some manners, and channel all that puppy energy in the right direction!
It’s only day one, and Phil is already starting to show us who he is. I’m excited to see what the next three weeks have in store!
