When you hire K.O. DOG TRAINING, you are hiring knowledgeable and experienced professionals. Founded by Philip Kaough, we are a husband & wife team – we do not hire outside trainers as we want to interact with and know every dog that we train!

We came to K.O. Dog Training as almost a last resort for Lucky. He had issues and a bad reputation in our neighborhood. We loved Lucky and wanted to give him a chance to succeed. I had given up hope of him ever being able to leave our home and walk in public. I was afraid to continue to bond and love him for fear he would get in trouble again. Philip worked with us and Lucky and was able to pinpoint our issues. We have noticed much less reactions to delivery drivers at the door or people walking outside. What I especially liked about KO was we had Philip’s dogs there at training. We had a lot of issues with him on walks reacting to other dogs. Lucky learned to walk past other dogs without reacting and being a jerk. He enjoys his walks and I am learning to trust Lucky while my spouse walks him .It’s been a work in progress but we have regained a lot of confidence in Lucky and his ability to learn and grow. I am truly grateful that Philip gave him a chance!

My pup was incredibly anxious and Phillip provided get knowledge, and training methods to help address my dogs nervousness. He is much more confident following the 6 week course.
Phillip and his wife are also incredibly friendly and genuine people who clearly love what they do and give it 100%

Highly recommend K.O. Dog Training! We brought our 10-month-old Bernedoodle, Kona, for basic training and impulse control, and had a great experience. Philip and his wife, Michelle, were wonderful to work with and gave us really helpful guidance on channeling her puppy energy. It’s clear they’re invested in Kona’s success—we’ve seen a noticeable improvement since completing the course, and feel much more confident continuing to reinforce what we’ve learned at home.

Phillip and Michelle are a highly skilled training team who possess deep knowledge of canine behavior. They are truly dedicated to educating pet owners and ensuring that both the dogs and their owners have the tools they need for long-term success.
In addition to their expertise during the sessions, I have found their post-training follow-up to be incredibly helpful. They are consistently timely in their communication and provide effective solutions to any behavioral issues that arise.
I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for professional and effective dog training.

Made a marked difference in our dog’s behavior within the first 5 minutes of meeting. With an ancient breed known for their high energy (Xolo), this is an amazing feat. Highly recommended!
