Meet The Trainer

Hi! My name is Connor Phillips. I have been training with Through The Leash for over 2 years and had been handling dogs for several years prior to joining the team. I’ve had a love and passion about caring for animals for my entire life, but after training dogs these last 2 years I know this is what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. After joining the team in Charlotte, I have been able to create and cultivate meaningful relationships with so many different people and so many wonderful dogs. Enriching the lives of the dogs I work with and seeing the joy in their owner’s eyes once they begin to effectively communicate with them is what makes this job truly worth it. There is no better feeling than the one I get when an owner tells me we accomplished something that they thought was impossible. I specialize in addressing problematic behaviors and separation anxiety. I hope to be able to work with you and your furry friend soon!
