Apparently the date for the seminar at Niagara Falls has been changed to the end of July. Precaution - the con Steve Phillips is still named like Instructor.
I know this signature, suppose to be trained by the con Steve Phillips. He got me too. Take care, he is working at a seminary this May in Niagara Falls NY
What a pity you got a poorly trained, or untrained dog. And not fair on the poor dog either. Fortunately, there are a number of good training facilities around that offer guarantees and have good return polices. I hope you have better luck with your next K9 experience.
Hi Bill, I know there are a lot of excellent trainers in USA, but this Steve Phillips gives bad reputation to all of us. Unfortunatelly he is still in business, because not everybody knows that he is a con.
that's rotten. why do people have to con other people like this? isn't it easier to strive to be good at what you do? the guy who conned you should be castrated so as not to perpetuate his genetics! :) hehe
Hi friends, good news: Today I was informed, that Steve Phillips was kicked out of the ESWDA. He cannot longer certificate in the name of this well known and serious Organisation.
Steve Phillips has been putting out shit dogs for years. We had purchased three supposedly trained detection dogs when we were in a jam for more dogs. When my handlers got there to pick up the dogs they had called me to tell me how horrible the dogs were. Steve Phillips has been and will always be a dishonest buisness man.
What you are writing here, I have heard in the last months from many people. It looks like, that this man is looking for " one time " victims to con them. The video is watched from a lot of dog-people, but there was never a positive comment about this Steve Phillips. Where are you from?
New York but now North Carolina Steve had told a False story on an EDD group about him finding a bomb but we checked it out and it was a lie to so the through him off the list people like him will always find someone to rip off
Because of this, I put this video on you-tube. I wanted to warn new clients from buying dogs and also alert the good trainers, because he is damaging the image of all of us.
Hi rex, I think Steve was very busy all the years, a lot of " burned clients " are coming out. Yes he responded, but like always with big words and lies. Nothing like giving money back or some like this.
I did, but they did not respond. Beside, I was told, that he is not any longer representing an association. But we all should claim, were we can and public all our bad experiences with Steve. He should not con more people.
You are absolutely right, but in this case, it was only to show, how this dog do not recognize the odor neither search. Beside, I did not touch the boxes.
I think, he do not know better. This dog was for almost 3 months in training of Steve Phillips! I ordered a fully trained female narcotic lab with passive alert. I got a female Lab-Mix, which did not know to sit, not recognized drug odors and did not know how to search. The best: I was informed that the dog was trained on food-reward!!! How can a drug-dog make searches, at the presence of food? You will get alerts all the time!!!
I have bought trained dogs in several occasiones in USA and was allways satisfied. There are really good trainers there. But in this case, I was terribly fooled.
Buddy you got ripped off a handler I use to know said he does this on purpose to hamper law enforcement

Wow in Venezuela he´ll have to go to a refresher course for sure. Total number of confiscated coke in Panama for 2008, 55 tons.

@6coach6 Yes this dog was sold to Venezuela. But there is a long list of coned people there in USA.

This dog is completely untrained. Not the dogs fault.

Thats right and its not the dogs fault, but the fault of the con Steve Phillips who sold it to me with fake certification.

I agree with you my friend. But we both live to far away, to get this work done. Hehehe

FYI a food alert dog won't alert on food. A good dog is trained off food except coming from his handler.
That was horrible. It's a shame anyone can call themselves a trainer.
Tbirdgrl86 3 years ago
You are right, but the food-reward was really not the main problem, like you can see at the video.

hi can any one tell me how much a fully trained dog sells for ????
wormgroth 3 years ago
Hi my friend, a fully trained narcotic detection dog ( not like the video!!! ) is in the market from 5.000.-$ and up.
6coach6 3 years ago
That looks like several dogs trained by Steve Phillips I have seen over the last couple of years.He got me too.

Looks like he don't have a clue what the handler is asking of him. There is no doubt he can smell it. Very poor training.

3 months of training from Steve Phillips. Here you can see the result. He doesnt know better or he is a con.
