K.O. Dog Training

We cannot thank Philip and Michelle enough for their patience, flexibility, and knowledge to help our rescue dog Corbin learn how to live life in society. When we adopted Corbin, we could not go out in public, for walks, or have our windows open because he barked and reacted aggressively at everything and everyone he saw. Despite our efforts to train him on our own, and Corbin's love for my boyfriend and myself, nothing worked. We were concerned we would be confined to our home, with our blinds shut, which was not our idea of having a dog as a companion. This is when we turned to Philip and Michelle for help. Each week they took their time to educate us on Corbin's behaviors and took us through training techniques to help Corbin overcome his aggression/fear. This was no easy task and sometimes we left feeling defeated that Corbin may never change. But we never gave up, and neither did Philip and Michelle. Much to our surprise, the final two training sessions, Michelle was open to taking a different approach that was less overwhelming for Corbin, while also advancing our behavior modification approach. And guess what?! IT WORKED! Corbin is now a happy, curious dog that loves to go for walks, travel on airplanes, hang out at hotels, and we can keep our balcony door open all day with barely any reaction. We could not be more thilled on how far Corbin has come and now we have the dog companion we always wanted! Thank you Philip and Michelle!

Our dog, Jake, was very timid and wouldn't leave my side. Even after a year since we adopted him, he would not warm up to my husband and wouldn’t let anyone but me pet or pick him up. After less than 6 weeks of training with Philip and Michelle, it's like we have a different dog. He is now much more confident and outgoing, and he loves to play with both my husband and me. We love the fact that Philip and Michelle made sure that my husband and I were involved in the training process, so that we could learn how to continue Jake's training at home. We also really appreciate that they use positive reinforcement methods, which made training Jake a lot of fun for both of us. This helped us to strengthen our bond with Jake and to learn how to communicate with him effectively. We also learned a lot about dog behavior and training, which has been invaluable. Jake seems much happier and more relaxed since he started training. He loves working on his commands, and he especially loved his play time with Kiki and Bailey (Philip and Michelle's dogs). We highly recommend K.O. Dog Training to anyone who is looking for a dog trainer. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and patient, and they really care about the dogs and their owners.
