FirstBarkPhilip was great with helping us understand Toby and ourselves. Toby is a rescue dog with some confidence issues. Phillip helped us learn how to help him overcome some of these issues. If I had a question or concern, Philip responded quickly by a phone call or email. We will continue working with Toby so he can be the best he can be!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with Philip’s training service. He helped us turn our Bernedoodle pup into an amazing part of our family. He not only trains the dog but also the owner. We very much appreciate the time spent and the kindness. His prices are also very reasonable and such a small investment compared to the outcome. We highly recommend Philip and Kiki at KO Dog Training!
Philip did an outstanding job addressing our issues with our golden doodle, Ginny. Focus was mostly impulse control but her overall behavior has improved significantly. My husband and I both attended the classes and strongly recommend K.O. Dog Training.

Phillip Kaough is an amazing trainer. From the first assessment with London to the completion of our Puppy Obedience course, he was intune with our pup and me as her leader. He even involved the whole family with London's training so that we could consistently work with her to follow his training techniques. Phillip goes above and beyond to help you and your dog build strong bonds of trust and he is always available to answer any questions. We are forever grateful to Phillip, Kiki and K.O. Dog Training for training us to be good dog parents! And London agrees...WOOF!

Working with Philip was an outstanding experience. Philip’s knowledge and understanding of dog behavior is top level. He doesn’t just train a dog, he teaches the owners how to be the leader of the pack. He is always upbeat and excited to start the training secessions. He is fair and honest with his weekly assessments careful not to give false hope that your dog will magically become fully trained. He explains that it’s a coordinated team effort so everyone is on the same page. Our progress was amazingly fast due to Philip’s positive approach. Philip is a five star person as well as a five star trainer. We highly recommend Philip and Kiki to all dog owners who are willing to put in the time to have their dog trained properly.
