Excellent training. Keep records of your dogs progress and review this before and after each session. Philip and his wife work well as a team and use the same training techniques. They are both very skilled in their assessment of your dogs weakness and strengths.

We had a great experience with both Phillip and Michelle in Seneca, SC. They gave us great advice and direction with our rescue pitbull. The flexibility was a huge plus for me as well as the adaptablity with work schedules. They are very knowledgeable and focused on the specific goals we were looking for in training. Now we have the tools to go forward with training on our own and know that we can always ask Phillip or Michelle for more help. Thank you so much K.O. Dog Training! I would highly recommend these lovely people for any kind of easy to difficult pups/doggos. I have so much hope for my sweet Pearl and loved finding out how smart she really is!! Now we have real goals!

My wife and I and Biscuit, our 6 month old Golden Doodle, had the pleasure of working with Phillip and Michele at KO Dog Training over the past several months. I can honestly say it was a pleasure for the "whole family" to have the opportunity to participate in this "one on one" training. I am not sure who learned more, the humans or the puppy, but, it was time well spent for all involved. Phillip and Michele lead us through a well planned and systematic process of human and canine development . They were extremely personable and accommodating to our schedule (I had knee replacement surgery mid way through the training) and my wife was able to step in and take the lead in completing Biscuit's training. In addition they were extremely easy to work with, informative, communicative and insightful. They gave us the tools we needed to develop our Doodle into a companion that we can take anywhere and never be concerned that he would not make us proud. Additionally, their commitment continuing consultation as a KO Graduate is a much appreciated added bonus. If you are looking for high quality "one on one" training and not being relegated to being a number in a group where personal interaction with the trainer is limited or nonexistent, then Phillip and Michele from KO Dog Training are the best possible choice. We interviewed a number of "trainers" and we can recommend Phillip and Michele wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, insightful and compassionate partner in your Pup's growth and development.

Skilled and caring trainer did a great job at teaching the basics to help our pup. Unfortunately we weren’t able to complete all sessions and were not charged. Reasonably priced and very accommodating. Just nice folks!

Our Siberian Husky Foxy was 5 months when we started our basic obedience training with Phillip and Michelle. Communicating with them was easy and understandable. Their method of pack training was a great start for socializing our puppy. The trainers were very open minded responsive and professional. Our last session ended only two months ago and we already see, Foxes sneaky nature is strengthening with age! Thank You so much for every answered text message, recommendation, the borrowed training collar, tip and trick! We will see you soon for another round of training! Carolyne, Eliska,Foxy :)
