About Phil’s Pup Camp

<h2>Positive-reinforcement class series in Arlington Heights</h2><p>Phil's Pup Camp runs a ladder of group classes out of March Animal Hospital at 1000 E. Central Rd. in Arlington Heights. The site states the approach plainly: "we promote positive-reinforcement companion dog training, all while developing good social skills in a respectful and safe environment," with marker training named alongside it. Every class listing carries the same admission line &mdash; "Aggressive dogs are not tolerated."</p><h3>Classes and published prices</h3><p>The services page lists each class with its price: <strong>Puppy Classes $195</strong> (six weeks, AKC All Star Puppy testing included, aimed at puppies after their second round of vaccinations), <strong>Obedience 101 $295</strong> for older, bigger dogs and framed as preparation for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, <strong>Advanced Obedience $225</strong> working off leash on Sirius K9 test exercises, <strong>Leash Walking $175</strong>, <strong>Therapy Dog Class $275</strong> (two orientation classes then six in progressively harder environments, ahead of a separate free Alliance of Therapy Dog test), and the three-week <strong>Paws &amp; Applause Trick Class $100</strong>. An AKC Urban Good Citizen prep and test class is marked "Coming soon" rather than bookable.</p><h3>Private options</h3><p>Private in-home training is offered at <strong>$150/Hr</strong>, described as working with the family "in the comfort of your own home, addressing behavior challenges, teaching obedience commands." The site also offers a free 15-minute phone consultation for owners weighing aggression, fear or temperament questions, plus maintenance sessions, play dates and make-up sessions for missed classes.</p>
