Professional instructor Allen Castillo and the entire staff at K9 Off Leash are truly amazing . After extensive research, I narrowed it down to one location for my dogs training and that was K9 Off Leash . Although I live over an hour away , I made the sacrifice because I knew that my dog was in good hands and I have never looked back . My dog Ghost is an Argentino Dogo who are not the easiest dogs to train . The training went perfect and we have a beautiful dog that is fully trained . I recommend this business 100 percent and please feel free to call me with any questions you might have . You will not be disappointed with K9 Off Leash and neither will your dog .. read more

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRELY: They are ABUSIVE to animals, incredibly negligent, and lack the necessary wherewithal to run a dog training company. BEWARE, these are NOT real dog trainers. They were kennel workers that were promoted, by the owner Laura because she was desperate for the income. My dog had been coming here for several months and was "trained" with them for a week as what they call a refresher to ensure he is a good fit. They always praise him, send me pics and videos of how amazing he is. I was in Europe on vacation, and Laura Cresto sends me a text message letting me know that they can't handle my dog and despite that he is showing aggression they'll watch him until I'm scheduled to get back a week later. Naturally, I asked for proof of videos as they have cameras recording in every single room and keep said recordings for 30 days. She wouldn't send me any videos, and then claimed that I had to be there the next day to pick up my dog because they couldn't handle him anymore. It's funny how she went from "we can manage to keep him for a week" to "pick him up tomorrow morning" after I asked for proof within hours. She basically said you have to come get your dog by tomorrow morning or else, the flight time alone was roughly 10 hours and then add a connection. Luckily I had the means to do so, but who is paying for my new flight, loss of costs on my other flights and all the hotel accommodations that were already paid for? There was zero compassion for what I was going thru despite that my dog was in her care. Still, I kept pressing her about providing me proof which she finally sends that was recorded from a cell phone, not her cameras. In the video you can CLEARLY see that the person is NOT a trainer and does not know how to handle my dog. This person has only been working there for a month with zero experience in real dog training prior to coming on board with K9 Off Leash. I FOUND A SCAB ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS FACE with a huge bulge around it, which tells me he's been struck. Maybe he's acting defensive because someone physically struck him with an object? He doesn't play with other dogs there because of his repaired ACL's and Laura confirmed he hadn't. She initially stated his behavior was like this from the moment I dropped him off a week prior. I told her this was a grotesque understatement of the level of irresponsibility it is to not have informed me Immediately. She said, "I didn't want to bother you because we specialize in this field of dogs and aggression." Then when I pointed it out via text, she back peddles and states that the behavior started only a day prior. She claimed it was so bad that they had to take him out in a full bite suit, yet when I asked her for the videos of proof she couldn't furnish them. Her words "Thank God we have this gear otherwise we wouldn't be able to handle your dog at all." They do not currently own a bite suit of any kind. When I went to pick up my dog, I recorded the entire interraction between myself, Sierra, the new employee(I don't know his name) and their new head trainer who just stood in the background observing and recording. Sierra is a 24 year old office manager. The new employee who started only a month ago actually put his hands on me when I went to retrieve my dog and stood in front of his kennel/room to avoid me from getting him because I refused to pay, and brought out a leash to take him out himself. You claim he is so aggressive that you have to wear a bite suit to take him out, yet you are trying to take him out while I am standing there after I have told them again and it is known that he is protective of me.You're more concerned with keeping my dog to get paid, then releasing him back into my custody despite how aggressive you claim he's been? While all of this is going on, despite how upset I am and the fact that this employee is holding the door to prevent me from getting my dog after he physically put his hands on me, my dog is still wagging his tail, ears back and crying for me with ZERO aggression displayed towards anyone there. Then Sierra says, we have to call the cops. I told her please do so, or I can call them myself. Instead she calls Laura who tells her to let me go with my dog. I wonder why? They didn't give him any of his pain meds, so he was in pain the entire time there and they missed many doses of his allergy meds. He came back to me in pain, scabbed/bruised, and with hives all over. The level and layers of LIES/DECEIT, NEGLIGENCE, LACK OF DECENCY/ COMPASSION, ABUSE OF ANIMALS, COMPLETE DISREGARD AND INCOMPETENCE for an animal's well being and the way they treat their owners is beyond disturbing. This keeps happening since Allen Castillo, the original owner and real dog trainer left back in April. There isn't enough space to provide all of the details in this review, but feel free to email me reviewsonly1984@gmail.com if something similar happened to you and I will gladly reply. read more

These trainers are miracle workers. My 1 year old husky was impossible. Would not come, willful, jumping on anyone who came in the house. We have had many huskies but this guy was the most difficult we have had. He was a rescue and had terrible habits. K9, and our trainer Mary, worked wonders. He is not the same. He walk with me off leash (heels) does what he's told, comes, sits, stays, can't say enough good things. We were uneasy, and not the easiest clients but they persevered and the results are amazing. So glad we hired them. Our boy is a pleasure now! Thanks K9! read more

Our ten-month old husky, Atlas, just finished the four-week board and train program. We are very impressed with the change in his behavior. Huskies are notoriously stubborn, but Atlas is much more responsive now -- and more pleasant to be around. He will actually walk next to us! Other husky owners we know had recommended k9Off Leash to us, and we are very happy we took their advice. read more

I put my dog Lucy in two week board and train program and could not be more impressed! Not only did she love the facility socializing with other dogs and going out places to get comfortable but she Responded so well to their method of training. I was also impressed with how clean the Facility was, I would highly recommend Lucy is doing great stays right next to me even when I'm rollerblading. A+++ read more

Literally in little Havana! I was super skeptical at first but Alan and Amanda put me right at ease and made me feel safe about leaving my pup with them. Let's just say their 24 hour care and dedication in teaching your pup is by far the best. Haven't seen any place do it better and keep it clean. Love them! read more

We sent our pomsky Kylo to K9 Off Leash because he was showing signs of aggression towards other dogs, this made me extremely anxious to walk him in public or even in my building. With the help of Alan and his team Kylo is completely a new dog!! He heels on command, never pulls on the leash, and doesn't even pay any attention to the dogs we pass. Practice makes perfect at home so if you continue everything Alan has taught you, you should have no issues! THANK U K9 OFF LEASH! We love you! read more

What can I say?! They are truly amazing! I put my 5 year old pit in their 4 week boarding program to help with aggression towards dogs and what a difference. Alan and his staff are truly amazing people. Not only has my dog been through their 4 week program but also to their doggy daycare and for weekend boarding. I don't trust anyone with my baby but them! They make you feel like you are part of the family! read more

Allen and his crew are awesome. The dedication and real-world training took my dog from a nervous people-and-other-dog-aggressive pup to one that I can now take to a dog park without fear he would fight another dog or charge a dog owner. Allen also teaches a dog owner how to be a dog owner. And how a dog owner is also a trainer. I highly recommend K9 Offleash. read more

I had my new puppy trained at K9 Off Leash before ever actually meeting her. I purchased my pup through Felipe at PDGK9 and he works with Allan at K9 Off Leash for clients that wish to have their pup trained before they go home. I drove down with my boyfriend from Chicago to Miami (I wish they were closer!) to pick up my new pup and I was so impressed with the hospitality of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility and the beautiful set up they had for training as well as an open area for all of the dogs to run and play outside. Allan and Felipe met me to show me my new puppy and what she had learned, how to keep training her myself, and literally EVERYTHING in between. Allan was SO unbelievably knowledgeable with training! My puppy is 19 weeks old and has a fantastic foundation that I will continue to build on via FaceTime sessions with Allan (I'm not in any rush to make that drive again. LOL!) I left with a "goodie bag" of items they generously provided for me to make sure I had everything I needed to start life with a puppy. I feel bad because we had driven 21 hours straight through so I was far from my best self LOL! Thank you Felipe and Allan! My boyfriend plans on going back in a year for his own pup. He was very impressed as well! read more
