FirstBarkMichelle is so kind and patient, she is a very experienced dog trainer. My German Shepherd is almost 2 years, which is perfect at home, but will bark and rush to other dogs when goes out. After first training class, the dog has become polite to any dogs and people. Now I have perfect walking and hiking experiences with my dog, couldn't be happier!😄

Our little corgi had reactive issues that made walking her a bit tense. We crossed the street when we encountered an approaching dog. We tried so many techniques without success. KO dog training gave us all the answers we needed. We felt they truly cared for our dog beyond just correcting the behavior. There was a true concern for our family, and I'm certain, a love for our pet, our baby. There was so much insightful input into of situation and extra input we didn't expect. We highly recommend KO.
I had a great time working with Michelle, she’s incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and very helpful. Before I wasn’t able to walk on the same side of a side walk and would always cross the street, but now I am able to do so confidently with my dog.
Great training. She trained our puppy and taught our family how to work together to create a fun and enjoyable environment for our puppy to live and learn. The training was tailored to our dog and family. We were given great advice. Thank you K.O. Dog Training
Philip is wonderful with dogs and people too! He is patient and has trained me to be the leader with my 10 year old rescue by teaching me when I am confident, my dog follows. She knows I have her back! However, he does stress that practice is necessary to get results. Dolly and I thank you K O Dog Training.
