I just terminated a relationship with Pet sitting by Denise due to what I would consider animal…read morecruelty. I should have left them when this happened the first time but it took me two times to learn my lesson. The sitter did not show up when supposed to and left both of my rescue pups to wallow in their feces and vomit. Both are house broken and one of them was able to hold it but the younger one could not. Our hearts were broken when we got home from work that day. We rescued them to remove them from these types of situations not put them back in them. I was a customer for over 9 months (4 times a week) and spent over $3000 with them. Assume nothing with them and use at your own risk, hopefully your pets will not be tortured as well. I usually don't do things like this, I just want to try to save the heartbreak for owners and potential poor treatment for your pets.

I had to fire her mid-job and find a replacement while out of town. She threatened my dogs, called my parents (the emergency number) and was extremely rude and bossy to them, and then took her time returning the remainder of my money when I had to fire her mid-job and have someone else take over. I was half-way across the country at the time and worried sick. She charged my card in full before formally accepting the job, was rude, and her threats made our trip more torture than vacation. Use her at your own risk. Highly unprofessional.

Tara is NOT a lap cat and I have always been the only one who can pet her. Kris came in and shaved Tara's belly and sanitary area. She then combed all the knots out of Tara's back, neck and legs.

Kris did all this in record time and cleaned up afterwards as if this were HER home. I have only high praise for Kris. CALL HER!!! She is the best!

When I came to pick him up, I got a full debrief on his new friends and social interactions! I can't wait to board with them again! BTW Military discount!

After reading all of the marvelous online reviews, I paid $3000 for the two week board and train…read moreprogram. It took two months to get my dog worked in with the trainer. At that point, I had pretty reliably taught her to sit, stay, and come. What I really needed was on & off leash heel, lie down, and for her to do all of the aforementioned with distractions. I've had my dog since she was 7 weeks old, she is pure-bred pedigreed Labrador Retriever, sweet tempered and quite bright. No behavioral issues! When I came to pick her up after two weeks, she had learned NO additional skills! She would not heel or lie down, and would not come to me when distracted. I return her to the trainer, and expressed my disappointment, that my $3000 was essentially spent on dog sitting. She took my dog back for an another full week at no additional charge. Afterwards she told me that she received NOTHING from her boss for doing this (the franchise owner) and took my dog back simply because she did not want me to be dissatisfied. She made some progress in that final week, but we still have a loooong way to go. I do not fault the trainer! She did her best and took my dog on for an additional week for free. The company is a franchise. She shared with me that the owner is in Greenville, he is not even a dog trainer (she described him as a businessman), and she has never met him. She also shared that she JUST QUIT! Her issue was that 2 weeks is not enough time to train a dog to do all of this things that they advertise. Customers were regularly upset when their expectations weren't met. It takes at least 4-5 weeks to accomplish good on-leash results, let alone off leash. I feel like "Off-Leash" over promised knowing that they would likely underperform. The franchisee relies on internet marketing, and a slick phone call/email/text sales pitch. Perhaps the other training service are good, because the trainer that I met seemed excellent - but with the 2 week board and train, the trainers are set up to fail. I wouldn't call it a "scam" but from my experience, and that of others I have talked with since then, you are VERY unlikely to be satisfied. There are other operations right here in Lexington that will do board and train for 4-5 weeks, charge about the same, and not make any "off leash promises". That seems much more realistic and honest. Buyer beware!!!

Just finished the 4 week Basic Obedience training with my Labradoodle, Ranger. He is 4 years old…read moreand very energetic. He gets excited around other dogs and loves to meet new people. I've always envied dog owners who could have their dogs in public places and around other dogs without struggling to hold them and not pulling them all over the place. After researching several dog training services, I settled on Off Leash K9 training. Both Nathan and Beth worked with Ranger, and he responded extremely well to their methods and the eCollar, but even more importantly is the time they took with me helping me to understand how to continue the training between lessons. It doesn't matter how well your dog does during your one hour lessons if you are not willing to put in the the time everyday to reinforce the lessons. I would highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training to anyone who wants an obedient dog who is a pleasure to have with you as a companion in any situation. We can now take Ranger to farmer's markets, dog-friendly restaurants, the beach, wherever dogs are welcome. We continue to work on his commands on our evening walks, take him to places that provide distractions so we can get even better at being in those situations, and keep reinforcing his obedience with tons of "Good boy" praises and lots of love. He's happy. We're happy, and so thankful for Nathan and Beth at Off Leash K9 training.
