We couldn't be happier with our experience with Philip (and Kiki!) at K.O. Our Aussiedoodle, Sadhbh, is a young-adult rescue with a mind of her own (STUBBORN!). She is the first dog for both of us since childhood so we wanted to make sure that we did things right. Philip was incredibly helpful and good at explaining things: both us and Sadhbh learned so much through the sessions and she is far more manageable as a result. The sessions really augmented our experience as new dog owners and helped to make her a fully-fledged member of our family. Philip has a great manner and really allows you to take ownership of the training which sets you up for success when practicing outside of the sessions and beyond. He and Kiki are also fun to be around which made the sessions enjoyable!

KO was very patient and knowledgeable when training our puppy. He was able to help Shadow with leash walking and create a stronger bond between us and our pup. It has allowed us to take her on more adventures. I would highly recommend his services! KOs assistant Kiki was also very patient with our pup!

Our pup was over a year old. She knew some of the basics but was not disciplined on a leash and had zero impulse control. After our time with Philip we learned how to manage, reward, and praise and correct. And our pup responded and engaged and happy. It was night and day. We are so pleased with the outcomes!!! Philip’s approach is a process that builds over time. And, it works and it was fun!!

Philip of K.O. Dog Training was fantastic to work with during our puppy training course. He was always pleasant, friendly, and genuinely caring with our pup, Frankie, and with us as new dog owners. His enthusiastic style made every class fun, and having Kiki join our sessions was a bonus. Philip teaches with clarity, patience, and confidence‑building guidance. He immediately recommended a collar that made walking our strong, pull‑happy pup so much easier, along with great high‑quality snack options. Watching Frankie become more confident and responsive to commands was uplifting. A month after graduation, Philip checked in — just as promised — and shared extra tips for our strong‑minded pup. He also reminded us that he is always available if we have any questions or issues. We highly recommend Philip to anyone looking for a trainer with real skill, heart, and passion.

K.O. Dog training helped us tremendously, with our puppy who never had the proper training! Cash and myself took to this well and he is a completely different dog! Highly recommend Phillip if you’re looking for dog training!
