FirstBarkMy puppy, Lucy, and I worked with Philip and his dog Ki Ki at K.O. Dog Training. Lucy is a difficult breed to train (English Bull Terrier) and the one-on-one appointments were very helpful! Philip is knowledgeable and fun to work with. Lucy misses her trainers, but is proud to be an alumni as a AKC S.T.A.R puppy!

I found K.O. Dog Training by an on-line search for expertise in dog behavior. I was more than impressed with the outstanding skills of Phillip & Michelle Kaough. It was a great experience. His knowledge, tools and resources were all extremely helpful. Their dogs Kiki & Bailey were great role models and also helped with our training. My 2 year old French bulldog had problems with reactivity, jumping and inability to follow direction. Phillip was calm, patient and listened carefully to our concerns. These expert trainers developed a customized plan that definitely improved my dog's behavior. Going on a walk and passing by my neighbors is now much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this company for any dog training needs, it is well worth the cost. Thank you K.O. for everything.

We had the pleasure of working with Philip at K.O. Dog Training, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! My dog, Pepper, had challenges with reactivity at other dogs, but thanks to Philip's expertise, those behaviors are now under control. The structured training program and along with the “sequence of correction,” have been game-changers for us. Pepper has developed excellent impulse control and leash behavior, and the daily training routine we learned has helped us maintain her progress. Philip was patient, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions, making the process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend K.O. Dog Training to anyone looking for a professional, results-driven training experience. Thank you for helping us bring out the best in Pepper!
Philip was great with my dog Ziggy and helping address her issues. I now feel much more confident walking her and knowing what to do when she is reacting to her triggers. Cannot recommend K.0. Dog training enough!

I appreciate Philip and Michelle for helping me train my energetic border collie mix Ollie. I recommend K.O. especially if you have a new puppy with little to no obedience training. Together we were able to greatly improve Ollie's demand barking, leash pulling, and overall impulse control. Please note that while training sessions are important, it is just as crucial to do your "homework" so you maintain consistent, long term improvement. Thanks K.O.! - Ally & Ollie
