"Phil understands Enoch! He was so gentle with him and with us! Ray and I liked Phil's demeanor with us and our dog! He never made me feel a question or one of my concerns was stupid. He knows not only the dog and his behavior but as a rescue he gave us hope that what Enoch came out of, he didn't need to stay there!! We went to his facility, and because Enoch had some barking behavior, Phil came to our home and gave us (especially myself) the "tools" to navigate through. The training was especially for the humans and Phil Lassiter did not disappoint us!"

What was our favorite part of the training experience?  "The results - with Phil's help, we were able to have Sadie next to other dogs without losing it.  We never would have expected those results! We are SO greatful!"

"Great experience.  When I came for the one-on-one training, I was set on that, but you told me group classes would be better. I appreciate that and the fact that you weren't. in it for the money.  You have a true love for training dogs, and it shows! I think you are better than Cesar Miillan!"

"Phil's training has been wonderful for both me and my dog.  He taught me to build more effective communication with my pup which brought us closer together and I spend more time with her now that we both enjoy training."

"We had and continue to have great experiences in the dog training classes as well as our one-on-one session with Phil. He has a gift with dog training/handling and his patience and knowledge have helped us have continued success with our pup."

My favorite thing about our training experience was the "clear instruction with step-by-step guidance. Focuses heavily on pet and owner relationship and understanding."

"Having your dogs be active participants and distractions was great!  It's incredible how much of a difference three sessions did for my dog."

"The controlled group setting really helped me gain confidence which also led to my dog gaining confidence."

"Phil's teaching has completely changed my outlook on what life can look like for my dog, a German Shepherd who has struggled with coping appropriately in the presence of strange dogs. I reached out to Phil when I could feel my dog's freedom and life shrinking in proportion to his reactivity and my anxiety about it. After a few private training sessions and a group obedience course with Phil, I feel much more confident about taking my dog out and about and enjoying all life has to offer together. Phil's approach to communication, learning, and relationship-building between dog and handler is effective and compassionate. I highly recommend working with him if you want to learn and grow together with your dog."

"My experience with respect on Both Ends was exceptional. Phil is a master of communication with people and dogs. My dog went from an unsocialized rescue from an abuse case to a well behaved dog who retained the commands that Phil taught him. Phil is a dog whisperer."  My favorite part of the training experience? "It worked and I loved getting the pictures, videos and updates on King."

"My husband and I cannot recommend Phil enough. He doesn't just understand and love dogs, but he takes the time to ensure that you, as a dog owner, understands them, as well. Through private and group training, we are happy to report that our dogs LOVE Phil! Thank you, Phil - we are forever grateful."

The opportunity for repetition was my favorite part of the training experience.  "I am the parent to Maverick (Great Dane) and Cori (Blue Heeler), we greatly appreciated your one on one feedback and hope to return soon with Cori and in the future with Maverick.  I have already recommended you."

"Our dog is a shelter rescue. She came to us with so many issues and we just could not get her over her dog reactivity.  After 3 years, I finally reached out to Phil and BOY DO I WISH I HAD CALLED SOONER!  We have learned how to communicate with our dog, she can walk thru town and enjoy her walks with us and we are confident that she will continue to progress.  Thank you R.O.B.E. for teaching us to commumicate successfully with our dog, to work thru our issues, and teach her to enjoy her walks."

"We have a well-trained dog, but we needed to work on one specific area of concern.  Phil was very helpful about coming to our home, observing our challenge, and providing personalized strategies for us to use. I appreciate that he did not try to upsell with a costly training package.  We now feel we have time to apply his suggestions and call him again if we need additional support.  Thank you, Phil!"

"During the three-week training period, we missed our pups terribly and tried to pretend we didn't. However, the time went by quickly as we saw videos of them at different places - walking outdoors, in training class with other dogs,  playing frisbee, and hanging out with other dogs and people while they were eating outdoors."

"Phil does a great job reading both dog and handler. He tailors the training to your situation. I highly recommend Respect On Both Ends. Phil has really helped with my dogs!"

Our favorite part of the training experience was, "The calm nature at which the training was approached - and the awareness that it is about training the humans as much as it is about training the dog!"

What I liked most about the training experience was the "group setting; it was a good test of the dog's and handler's focus"

""I really enjoyed the training provided. Phil has helped me understand even better how to communicate effectively with my dog and the results have been amazing! Can't wait for our Advance Training session!

What we liked most about the training experience was "The flow and continuity of each class.  I never left a class feeling like we did not make progress! I also appreciate that you were hands on, watching and catching our little mistakes."

"Great- Lily responded really well to training and I really liked that Phil took her to group classes, out in public, with his dogs- different scenarios to expose her to different environments and test her skills."

"Phil is thorough and patient, and most importantly, great with dogs. He seems to understand them completely"

"I would & have highly recommended Respect on Both Ends to several people.  This is a very calm environment, and I love that Phil's dogs participate in the training to show what, if any, reactivity from our dogs.  Phil is a great instructor and thoroughly explains each technique.  I look forward to working with him in the near future"
