We just got our 2-year-old pup back from Manny after a 3-week reactive board and train, and we're beyond thrilled with the results! Our boy Parker was full of energy and needed help with general obedience and with leash reactivity. Manny was incredible throughout the entire process. He answered all our (many!) questions and kept us updated with photos and videos of our dog's progress every step of the way. On pickup day, we couldn't believe the transformation. Our boy was calm, attentive, and completely focused on Manny's commands. Manny spent nearly two hours with us, walking through everything we'd need to know and giving us the tools and confidence to continue the work at home. We can't wait to enjoy stress-free walks and off-leash adventures together. We couldn't recommend Manny and OLK more! 10/10 experience!

We recently completed a 3-week board and train program with Manny at Off Leash K9, and we couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From day one, Manny showed incredible patience and dedication--not just to our dog, but to us as owners. Our girl got a little homesick at the beginning, and Manny truly went above and beyond to help her adjust. He made her homemade food, and even personally picked her up and dropped her off for a few days to ease the transition. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he trains and treats them like his own. At pickup, Manny spent over two hours with us, making sure we understood the training, answered all our questions, and helped us feel confident continuing the work at home. He also offers refresher sessions, which we really appreciate--and we absolutely plan to keep working with him. We're so excited to have our dog home with us and, more importantly, to have the tools and training to take her places and help her succeed around distractions. Thank you, Manny!

I can't express the gratitude I have for OFF LEASH and trainer Manny. We adopted a 14 month Husky from a shelter got him home and he turned out to be very possessive and aggressive and had bitten my husband, both of my sons and myself. We were 1 day from returning Timber to the shelter where I was told he would be euthanized due to his bites. We picked him up from Manny a few days ago and all I can say was WOW!! A total transformation. We will be sending another fur baby in the near future! THANK YOU OFF LEASH & MANNY YOU MOST DEFINITELY SAVED TIMBERS LIFE.

Manny truly saved me and Hank's quality of life. Hank just lost his best friend to cancer and was struggling with grief. He was also trying to adjust to giant move from the Bay Area to SD. He was being attacked by so many dogs due to his size that he was becoming reactive. His reactive behaviors were becoming more and more difficult for me to anticipate and control. He was afraid of every dog and person. After I injured my shoulder from Hank lunging at a dog while I held onto his leash I knew I needed help. I really knew that Hank needed me to get help for us. Manny came HIGHLY recommended by many of my friends in our Bernese Mountain Dog Club. Hank went off to boot camp for three weeks. When I picked him up - Manny taught me how to be more confident and clear with Hank. Hank was more confident and knew the expectations. I had so much tension built up in my body from all the stress that when I finally brought Hank home and saw how much we could trust each other- I felt so much better! It was all because of Manny and his training! Manny knows how to build confidence in you and his expertise is out of this world. Hank goes regularly for boarding when I need to be out of town. Hank loses his mind with excitement when it's time to go see Manny. I cannot thank Manny enough. Hank and I can go to public places and enjoy our time! I still go for refreshers and he even allows me to reach out to him if I have concerns or questions even after his three week training. Manny sent me videos and photos every day! It wa so great to get updates on how Hank was doing. It eased all my anxiety! Nathalie took all the information and she really helped me through the process. She was even there for me when we lost Nana to cancer. She was so patient with me when I needed to reschedule etc. and she helped me when Hank needed to go in immediately due to escalating behavior after Nana died. Thank you OFF LEASH K9!

2 week board program with Gabija black lab 5 months old t

Xoaura I.

Our trainer was Gabija for our 5 month old black lab. Our lab spent 2 weeks with Gabija working on command goals and confidence. Our lab was jumping on the table grabbing food, taking the kids toys, was super shy to potty on walks, and jumping on people excitedly, even strangers on walks. All in all, she learned all the basic commands using an e-collar and we've only had her back for 2 days but we've seen a huge improvement in her behavior and confidence to potty on walks. We've hardly had to use the e-collar because after she hears the command she complies. During the 2 weeks Gabija sent us a daily report of how our lab was going, what she was exposed to and learning, along with videos and photos which we looked forward to as a family. She was really great with our dog and she has learned a lot of what was advertised. We recommended Gabija to our friends already! Cons: cost of 2 week program is expensive and the drive to drop off the dog and pick her up were time consuming, and hour and a half one way. For the price should have to option to meet at a local park where the customer/dog owner lives. Plan for pick to potentially be close to 5 hours... driving round trip 3 hours plus 2 hour training to go over the commands. Wish the customer would have options for the drop off/pick up considering the program cost.

Danielle Adams was AMAZING. I loved working with her. She was patient and understand of me and my issues with my dog. She showed genuine interest in our life and that she wanted to help. She was professional and friendly. She helped me through all the steps during pickup and how to continue his journey to a better more confident life. I am so incredibly thankful. It's been life changing. She helped me gain confidence as well. I hope to never need her again, but would absolutely choose her over and over. Cannot say enough great things.

We had an incredible experience with Off Leash K9 training! Our 10-month-old Goldendoodle, Tiffany, stayed with the trainer Alex for two weeks, and the transformation has been amazing. It's like we got a completely new dog! Tiffany is now much more obedient, follows commands easily, barks much less, and is overall gentler and calmer. Alex maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process, keeping us updated with Tiffany's progress, and even sending photos and videos. On the day we picked up Tiffany, Alex took a time with quality to explain the entire process to us, providing clear guidance on how to continue the training and use the commands at home. We are beyond happy and grateful. Alex, you were phenomenal!

At first I think most people don't want or know how to be consistent and hold their dog accountable. We don't know what that means. I didn't I've never had a trained dog. I never had too, but honestly it was the best money Ive ever spent. You guys taught me what my dog breed needs. When I finally understood that, (thanks for your patience with me) I've learned so much from you guys. I learned how to holding her accountable and be consistent. Thank you all so much!! All you Tom, Natalie, Gabija, Manny and McKenna, thank you all for everything you've done to help us. Kiley is a loved member of our family. She has turned are world up side down but we love it! I honestly wouldn't be where I'm at without you! You're the best!! Love you guys thanks again!!

We booked a 3 week reactive dog boarding with Manny for our Pomeranian-Husky Forest. We had problems with him being a little reactive to some people and dogs when going to public places or had visitors/visiting family. We noticed he would get overwhelmed when so much activity was happening and had a harder time staying calm. We also struggled with recall with him. Manny was very communicative when it came to answering all our questions and concerns prior to boarding and the use of e-collar. He was also telling us what he would work with him when dropping off and gave us clear instructions after pick-up! Throughout boarding he gave us updates of how Forest was doing. I have attached a small snippet of how Forest now heels during walks! He would always pull me and never walk beside me. We are very happy with the work Manny has done and the confidence he has given Forest while he was him! Even after boarding Manny has stayed responsive with answering additional training questions! He made sure we were comfortable before taking Forest home with the training and how to use the ecollar. Thank you Manny!

Having our 1 year old Vizsla work with Elaine for Off Leash K9 Training was really the best thing we could do for her! She had so much energy and we didn't fully know how to direct it and teach her more than just the basics. Elaine was able to build confidence in our dog as well as in us as her owners. She now is a fully off leash dog who loves to "work" and has the ability to place, touch, heel, go through, sit and down at a distance and sit and down while in motion. Truly wonderful. We did the 3 week board and train program and I would recommend it and Elaine as at trainer to anyone.

I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience with Manny at Off Leash K-9 Training. I was pretty defeated and felt completely hopeless by the time I found Manny. I had just met with another trainer a month or so prior that told me I should put my pitbull down, to say I was devastated was an under statement. I decided I'd get a second opinion and if the next trainer told me he's a lost cause then maybe I should accept the fact that he's a hazard and a liability to not only my family but others as well. I told Manny our 7 year old Pitbulls entire history as well as what the other trainer told us and he was all in on training him. He was willing to chat with me almost immediately and his confidence, knowledge and energy made me feel so comfortable. I knew after our first chat that he was the guy for our pup. Our pitbull has a history of being reactive towards other dogs, had lunged at children on bikes and had been in a couple attacks both initiated by him and not and so I was sure what to expect when I sent him off for the 3 week training. Manny went above and beyond and kept us updated either through text or by phone call the entire time. I received a call about 5-7 days in and he told me our dog had redirected which meant he was in such a heightened state of anxiety that he redirected his energy to Manny and at the point I said "do you need me to come get him" and Manny assured me that he can help our dog work through whatever it is that is making him react in such a way. I almost cried because someone finally gave me hope that our dog could get the help he truly needed. Now we walk our dog out in public around dogs, people and children in high traffic areas and he's so calm and focus on us. It's like he's a whole new dog. Manny helped him find his confidence and since then we've been keeping up with the exposure and training. It's been almost a month now and our dog seems so much more comfortable in his own skin and he's always smiling and happy. I cannot recommend Manny from off leash training more!! I have told so many about how amazing our experience has been and will continue to do so. The transformation we've experienced with our dog is out of this world. You will not regret your decision if you choose to go with Manny or Off Leash K9 Training in general. Their trainers are highly trained and skilled at what they do.

Chantel's three-week training with our 8 month old Doberman, Drogo, was exceptional. Her dedication and love for her work have brought out the best in Drogo, for which we're deeply grateful. He's maintained all the training, showing remarkable obedience, especially on walks and with close-range commands. We're working on reinforcing his training, particularly his distance stability, and appreciate Chantel's efforts in this transformative journey. We admire Chantel's ability to connect deeply with our pup and the heartfelt commitment to their training and well-being. 21 days is a long separation period from our best friend. We missed our dog dearly and were eager to follow along daily with Drogo's progress in the form of daily updates, photos and videos. The frequency and quality of these updates did not meet our expectations so we are deducting a 0.5 star and recommend more frequent photo and video updates during the training period. But hey, nobody's perfect We highly recommend Chantel for her outstanding skills and dedication.

I have a one year old Husky. He is loving, loyal and smart. But he's a Husky! very willful. Not a bad dog but hard to train and get him to mind me. I felt overwhelmed and started to question if he was too much for me to handle. I thought about getting professional help. Off Leash K9 Training was highly acclaimed with an excellent reputation but at a substantial cost. I initially spoke with Nathalie who explained the program and her recommendation. I decided to make the investment in my sweet Herbie! I was paired with my trainer, Pam who not only lived close but also had two Huskies of her own. I signed up for the 2 week board and train. It would be the longest I waa separated from my dog since I got him at 8 weeks. Pam was wonderful! We communicated well before I was to drop him off. After I turned him over to her care, she kept me updated daily with his progress and photos and videos. I was reunited with Herbie yesterday. After a debrief with Nathalie and Pam, I was comfortable with the commands and the instructions to maintain his training. I am blown away by his transformation! I was so proud of how perfect he was on our first couple of walks; how responsive he was to the commands and how calm he was to distractions that would have sent him into bad behavior just two weeks ago. Thank you Pam and Nathalie and Off Leash K9 Training! We can't thank you enough for the wonderful transformation! --Drew & Herbie

I was looking for a dog trainer to help with my two dogs' leash reactivity and Manny was referred to me by a former coworker. Ive heard a lot of bad things regarding board and trains before so I was really worried about giving up my dogs. Manny did a great job sending me videos, photos and updates every day which eased my worries especially because my dogs looked so happy in all of them. When the program was over I picked them up and you could tell that they both adored him. Like you can tell he actually loves dogs which unfortunately is not the case with every dog trainer out there. I'm so grateful for all the work he did with my dogs and on top of that has been super responsive too since I still bombard him with questions as I now continue the training with my dogs myself. If you're looking for a great dog trainer who is actually passionate about helping dogs and their owners hit up Manny :) read more

It was so hard dropping off our six month old golden doodle. And two weeks seemed to drag but we knew we needed help to make sure he would obey us in all situations. Hank is a very sweet boy but he would spook around strangers and barking dogs. Wyatt was our trainer and he is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions; explaining the "whys" in each situation. He sent us videos each night that relieved our separation anxiety! This training was foundational. It was obvious when we brought him home that it wasn't magic and now Hank would do whatever we asked--we need to continue the training. It's only been four days since we picked him up and each day we've put on his collar and worked with him, he's understanding what we are asking of him better and better. Just as Wyatt gave him a command and Hank responded, Hank understands when we give him a command to respond appropriately. We appreciate the fact that we can go back to Wyatt for help if we have questions. We looked at this training as an investment into the future...protecting Hank's life and insuring a great relationship with our family. read more

We just finished the two week board and train with our 5 month old Husky puppy Grace.We had Jayme as our trainer and she was AMAZING!!!. She sent updates daily along with fantastic pictures and videos of our girl . She was very nice and helpful, answered any question that we had. She was also extremely helpful teaching us how to continue to train Grace once we get home. Grace is a new and improved version of herself , my daughter said "Mom she is more mature now ". I was astounded by how good Jayme did with her. I wouldn't trust any other place besides off leash k9, and would recommend them and Jayme all the wayyyyy!!! Thank you !!!! read more

After extensive research I decided on OffLeash K9 for my 10 month old poodle. Life at home had become managing his behavior from day to day and not really being able to enjoy our relationship. He pulled and barked at everything on walks and even car rides. Taking him anywhere was impossible because he acted wild. He did the three week board and train Top Dog program with Jennifer in Highland. While there is work to do transitioning from her home to ours I feel we are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed. I feel more in control and am looking forward to building the relationship with him that we've always wanted. He is a smart but stubborn boy who definitely needed the intensive focused training provided by Off Leash K9 and Jennifer. read more

My partner and I just finished our two week board and train with our 11 month old Belgian Malinois, Cairo! Danielle W. was an absolutely amazing trainer and we could not have asked for a better companion for Cairo. When we brought Cairo in, he had difficulties with walking (specifically pulling and going "crazy" on walks, trying to run back into the house). He did not seem enthusiastic to walk or be outside and then would be hesitant to come back inside the house. Danielle sent us videos and pictures every single day with long messages explaining what they did that day and how Cairos behavior was. She was very specific and included so much information on how he was! We picked him up today and he is wonderful! He has learned everything we have hoped, he accurately walks in his "heel" while being obedient to his recall command. All goals we spoke about with Danielle have been accomplished! We are so happy with his accomplishments and progress! Thank you so much! read more

We had our 11 month old English golden trained with OLK9. Prior to this our pup wouldn't be the best on a leash. He was ok but tends to get distracted by anything moving (which is pretty impossible to avoid). And at home seemed to have selective hearing with commands he should've known already. Which led us to be frustrated and always yelling at him. Yes we know he's still a puppy but we wanted to nip a lot of his negative behaviors as early as possible so we could enjoy him more. He was partnered with Cole as his trainer and we couldn't be happier with his results. We loved getting videos of his progress. But when he got home we have been walking him off leash since then. He's such a well mannered dog with the same happy and loving temperament. I 100% recommend off leash k9!!! Wish I started earlier! read more

Arnel did an amazing job with our 10 month old golden retriever. He kept in contact with me with pictures and videos and gave us updates on Tuckers progress throughout the 2 week training. Within 24 hours, Arnel sent us a video of Tucker off leash and coming back once commanded to do so. It was amazing what he was able to accomplish with Tucker in such a short period of time. He did an awesome job helping us train with him when we picked him up. It's been 5 days since we picked Tucker up from the 2 week training and he's a totally different dog now! I couldn't thank Arnel enough! I would 100% recommend using Arnel as your trainer. He exceeded all our expectations. 11/10 experience!

All the marketing is very promising but I can say for sure this program did not help my very anxious mini aussie. For starters, they guarantee your dog will be trained to walk off leash or your money back. When I went to pick up my dog, the trainer said DO NOT walk him off leash because he will run away. In the video she sent me he looked like he did a fairly good job, but she assured me that when they got close to the parking garage, he sprinted off and she couldn't catch him. This was not communicated back to the company so they are not willing to negotiate even a portion of the money back because as far as they see, he's perfect. Very selective video was reported back. Second of all, none of the training sticks unless the dog wears a shock collar. The collar can only be worn for 8 hours per day so if you have problems in the home like I do, there lies a major issue. It's just not possible to be ready to correct every second of every day. In summary, my dog still pulls while walking on leash and lacks any real skills that can translate without the presence of a shock collar. If you have a sensitive dog, do not spend your money here! read more

It's been approximately 1 month since my 8 month old GSD finished her Top Dog program with Megan. This is the second dog that the company has trained for me and If I could give them more stars, I certainly would. I have 15+ years in federal LE, and have worked with a good amount of working dogs with different skill sets in a tactical environment. Megan came highly recommended by the owner of the company and she is absolutely phenomenal. Trusting someone with your fur child is a big deal, and she really made me feel at ease while I was gone overseas during my pup's training. There's a lot of schools out there, but Off Leash K9 has a reputation of professionalism and a love for animals throughout the country. read more

We were so pleased with the care our German Shepherd received while away at board and train with our trainer Jordan as well as the results that we saw when our girl came back home. River struggled with pulling on her leash as well as being reactive to other dogs while out for walks. She reacted because she wanted to play, but with her big girl bark it sounds aggressive. Our first walk together after coming home was like walking a completely different dog, it was such an enjoyable walk. She has great manners at the front door, she doesn't cross the threshold until invited to do so. Jordan was great at sending daily updates with pictures or videos. We really appreciated the updates. We are so happy that we decided to have River trained with K9 OffLeash and even happier that she was paired up with Jordan. read more

We first met Cole Butterworth (and were introduced to the company he works with, Off Leash K9 Training) when we saw Cole in Balboa Park working with a young beagle that was responding beautifully to his gentle demeanor and effective methods (off-leash...in a crowded public park...happily obeying commands...a beagle?!) We eagerly got his contact info and followed up to have him train our own dogs...a beagle and pit-chihuahua mix. We opted for the two-week board and train program, and are absolutely thrilled with the results. Yes, it was hard being away from our dogs for that long and we had all the cliché concerns--will the dogs remember/still love us, will they be safe, will they respond to us the way they do to Cole? Long story short, we were worried for nothing. Cole's is a safe, lovely and super dog-friendly home, our puppies were beyond excited to see us upon pick-up, and Cole spent hours with us to make sure we could achieve the same results that he was able to. (We were especially terrified of losing our beagle should she be off-leash, and Cole had her and her sister strolling untethered through Old Town Temecula like they'd been doing it for years.) Do our dogs test us now at home...trying to get away with the same stuff they did prior to training? Yes. Do we have the tools to correct that? Yes. Does the training seem permanently embedded in them? Yes. Is it our responsibility (not Cole's or the dogs') to make sure the training is reinforced and they not only retain their training, but are able to build upon it? Yes. Was this training expensive? Yes. Was it an investment in our family's happiness and worth every penny? YES! Prior to working with Cole, we had tried other methods and trainers with middling success. This better, infinitely more effective immersive training (4-5 hours per day for 14 days, with daily status pics and videos) is exactly what we needed to lay a foundation and get our dogs poised for success. Cole continues to be an invaluable resource for advice, and we feel lucky to have been able to work with him and have our dogs benefit from his wealth of experience. We trust and recommend him without reservation-if you're looking to achieve what you thought was impossible, Cole's your guy. read more

My puppy turned a year old and he was becoming quite disobedient. He's a standard poodle and is very smart but I wasn't doing a good job with properly channeling his energy and he wasn't responding to my commands. So a friend recommended Megan Dunn and she explained their training program. I enlisted my dog for a one week boarding/training where she took him at her property. She sent me pictures, videos, and detailed summaries every day! I picked him up on the 7th day where Megan taught me the regiment (which took about 2 hours). She watched me do the same training with my pup until I was comfortable. It's been a few months and overall everything is still going great with their method. My dog responds very well!

Our trainer was Danielle and she was a extremely knowledgeable, genuinely cared and professional in our experience with our 1 year old Husky. Our dog did not listen to us despite all our efforts and walks and trips in public were a total nightmare. It has just been two days since we got Ryzen back and he is a totally transformed dog. We learned to use the e-collar she provided along with instructions we were shown in person and through video guides after we got our dog back. I must say that he has required almost no corrections and is just listening to commands without using the collar 95% of the time which was way more than we expected. We have two cats at home and I used the correction just once and he seems to have learned to stay away almost immediately! Using the place command, I am also able to get him onto our bed for sleepy time without having to pick him up too lol! Car rides (2 so far) that we took have shown incredible change too. He just gets into the car on his own (he would never do that) and then lays down until we arrive. I would recommend Danielle to other Husky owners in a heart beat after our experience. read more

I can not express how happy I am with my results! I had seriously behavioral issues with my Bassett hound. I was at my broking point. I just picked up my dog from Wyatt and I swear this wasn't my dog. He is so well behaved and the amount he learned in 2 weeks is unbelievable . Complete life change for me. He is now crate trained, off leash trained, and house trained. I can't thank Wyatt enough. If your on the French about it ... do it ! It's 100% worth it . read more

We love Lori Miller at Off-Leash Training. She has now trained 2 of our dogs and we trust her wholeheartedly with them. We love the love and discipline she shows each of the dogs. Her knowledge and years of experience training different breeds of dogs is such a plus and evident when we watch her work and train our dogs. Our dog is a bit hyper and has a lot of energy. She assured us she would be able to contain that and train the dog so that he would follow commands. Our dog has done wonders since being trained with her. We love the fact that she sent us nightly updates and pictures/videos on the progress of our dog. Lori is a great trainer and we would recommend her to anyone.

Before he would ignore me when I would ask him to do something. Now, he listens and responds to my commands! Also, he no longer pulls me around by his leash on walks. It's really wonderful to have a dog that is so well behaved!! Jillian also kept me informed each night on his progress with photos and text messages. this kept me at ease while he was away.

We took our eight month old golden doodle Ginger to Jennifer for training. We chose the 14 day off leash program, Ginger was a fun puppy full of energy and love for everyone, but she had annoying habits that included jumping on people, not listening, and would not walk on a leash without dragging you down the street. My daughter Delayna, she is 11, didn't like the thought of being without her puppy for 14 days. Jennifer made it so easy for us though with pictures every night and videos of her progress, my daughter would ask anxiously every evening if I received pictures of Ginger yet. Thank you Jennifer for the hard work you put in with ginger, I can tell by the pictures that she was happy and well taken care of. And the finished project was really amazing. Ginger is so well behaved now and listens to all the commands it's really amazing. I felt it was money well spent!

I was so worried about the e collar and seriously had a panic attack after I saw a video about some terrible trainers that burned the dogs by the use of the collar. I picked my dog up today from Alex and I was absolutely stunned with how amazing she changed my dog from reactive and out of control to obedient. She took all the time I needed and showed me all the things she taught my dog and exactly how to do them and when to use the button to correct her behavior. I love her. She did a fabulous job and I am extremely grateful that she got kiki to be able to be off leash and obedient in public. It is super stressful to not be able to have people over, or take your dog out with you because they become so reactive you have this fear that they might get too aggressive. It was amazing to see kiki understand and obey the commands given highly recommend Alex.!!! read more

I highly recommend off leash K9!! I did the 2 week board and train with the trainer Cole for our 9 month old Doberman. He constantly eased my worries about leaving him for 2 weeks. Always answered my questions and sent me an update with pictures and videos every day! When we picked him up after the two weeks he was still the same goofball but had such good manners, walked on and off leash super well and Cole worked us through the whole process moving forward amazingly! Even if it's not listed in their training quarantees they still go above and beyond to work on any other issues you may be having! Our boy came home crate trained (something we always struggled with) and had so much more confidence in himself overall! And best of all they offer refresher training for free for the rest of his life! read more

We have a 15 month old Maltese, that developed many issues, that I could not resolve, despite extensive research and training. He became very reactive to people, dogs, cars, bikes, etc. He was grabbing at bushes, newspaper, rocks, while walking. I was having to drive him to semi isolated area's to walk him. Needless to say, walking him wasn't enjoyable. I started researching trainers and found Off Leash K9 Training. I signed Opie up for a 21 day, board and train, as these issues, were extensive. I wanted everything I could get, for Opie! Every evening, I received video's of Opie, in various situations, from crowded, outdoor mall's, to parks, crowded with people. Opie would walk, within a foot of the crowds, at a heel. She took him, along the outside of dog parks and large indoor shops, like Bass Pro. I was able to track his progress and get really nice pictures of him, in training. Opie was trained by, Jennifer Pinder! I now have a completely different dog. He's extremely well behaved, follows many commands and walks in public places, at a heel. Jennifer was great in giving us clear direction, on Opies training. She worked with us for 2 hours and was prepared to spend as much time as needed. she emailed me extensive information on a Opies command's and the proper use of the e collar. Jennifer asked me to stay in touch and let her know if I was having any issues. She clearly cares about Opie and wants long term results. There are no words to express our appreciation of Jennifer and Off Leash K9 Training. Opie's quality of life, has been tremendously enhanced, along with our's. read more

Heather from Off Leash K9 Training is by far the best trainer! Our Goldendoodle Mochi never used to listen to us. Any time we were out in public she would be distracted, pull excessively on the leash, and so forth. First meeting Heather, she put all of our worries at ease. Her positive attitude made us so comfortable about the whole process, and her daily updates whether it was a picture, video or text, showed the massive improvements Mochi made every day. The fact that Mochi looked happy in every update showed the great treatment Heather took into training/taking care of her. Not only that, but on top of the well trained dog Mochi turned into, her goofy personality remained the same even after pickup. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude towards Heather. Throughout the entire process she has been nothing but kind and open to any questions. Just wanted to say thank you again to her and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for a dog trainer. read more

We got our puppy Memorial Day weekend and spent 3 weeks of not sleeping, getting chewed, losing shoes and having a wild baby shark dog. My husband found Off Leash K9 training and we decided to invest in the 2 week training program. We met with our training instructor Alex C. in San Diego, Ca and after our first meeting we saw a change in our dogs behavior. Alex is an amazing trainer, he was and still is always available to answer any of our questions and give us tips with training. When the day came to drop her off for the 2 week training, I felt comfortable and confident that our dog would get the best training. During the 2 week training Alex sent us videos and pictures of her progress. I think our dog was living her best life when she was staying with Alex. When we picked her up, Alex spent time teaching us everything our dog learned. Alex is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We are very happy with the training he provided and we feel that our family will now be able to have a normal life with a well behaved dog. Our dog is a totally different dog. She no longer bites, runs off with our shoes, or jumps on people or kitchen counters and the best part is that she doesn't run off as soon as we open the door. Alex is the best! Thank you for all of your help! We highly recommended Alex! read more

I went to this company and my dog got assigned to Nathalie. She did so many wonderful things for my dog Cali who is a Cane Corso. I could not take her for walks or have the kids in the backyard playing without Cali jumping all over them she is a big breed so that was a definite no. I could not have her in our home because of the constant jumping on the kids she would also steal their toys. After Cali stayed with Nathalie she came back a different dog. She is now a pet & can stay in doors with us. We can play with her outdoors without worrying about the jumping on the kids. I can also walk her! I'm able to walk her everyday without her dragging me across the neighborhood. Nathalie has also been so kind to answer questions & concerns I had with my dog after boarding. I appreciate her so much for that she goes above & beyond to make sure you are a happy customer. I recommend her services for all your dog training you will not be disappointed. read more

My puppy has come home such a gentleman after two weeks of training with Alex O! She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the process. We knew exactly what to expect before drop off, were updated with photos and videos throughout, and left with an in depth one-on-one lesson at pick up. Ever since we got the first video of him nailing his first command, we knew we brought him to the right place. We would absolutely recommend Off Leash to anyone who, like us, is new to a breed and wants effective obedience training.

Before training our puppy would constantly counter surf, jump on guests, grab shoes, socks and remotes. She taught him very crucial commands we were unable to. Right away we noticed a huge difference. She took the time to go over every detail and made sure we understood all the new tools.

Wyatt at OLK9 literally saved us. Sorry this is a bit long winded but we were in a pickle. In May of 2023 my family had to say goodbye to our little Morkie due to a midday coyote attack in broad daylight. This was a tough one to swallow. 2 months later an employee of mine approached me and stated that they had a litter of golden doodles puppies and were looking for good homes. After speaking to my wife who was 4 months pregnant and to my 2 year old, we decided to adopt one puppy. We were sure that we could have her trained and house broken before the baby was due in 5 months. We hired a trainer who came to the house once every two weeks and gave us one direction for training, put the dog in the crate whenever she does anything bad, then let her back out. As the puppy got older she showed that she was a relentless barker whenever she was in her exercise pen, outside, or crate which was most of the time being that she was a puppy. We tried the crate method for many months to try to fix the barking and it was not working. When we informed the trainer that it was not working she instructed us to rehome the dog as we would not be able to have her trained and done barking before our baby was to be born. Let me be clear that this wasn't occasional barking. She would bark for hours straight which we later found out was "demand barking". Obviously that would not work with having a newborn child in the home. We knew that once the baby came we would not have the time needed to be all hands on deck training. The week before our baby was to be born I tried one last Hail Mary to keep our golden doodle from being rehomed. I searched for send away training programs for dogs online and found OLK9. It was very last minute and they informed me that their soonest availability was in mid January. Unfortunately that wouldn't work as the baby was coming mid December. I informed Janessa at OLK9 that we would unfortunately need something sooner. She said give me a few minutes and I will call you back. She called back and let me know that Wyatt had made room for us and that we could drop our doodle off the day before the baby was scheduled to be born. (Induction) Wow. They truly came to our rescue and gave our doodle a chance! I dropped her off with Wyatt on 12/14 and she knew zero obedience commands and barked all day long. Wyatt kept me updated with progress via video and texts everyday for 2 weeks. His communication was amazing and very much appreciated. Judgement day came and it was time to go retrieve our doodle and bring her home to the very delicate situation of my post partum wife who had no tolerance for any barking at this point, newborn, and toddler. When we met Wyatt on pick up day he spent quite some time explaining all of the commands and training to us and how we would be able to continue it ourselves moving forward prior to even bringing our doodle out. This made it very easy for us to understand how we could be successful. He brought her out and immediately showed us her obedience and then gave me the reins. You would not believe how this wild little dog listened and excelled. We were so proud of her and thankful for Wyatt. She knew sit, heel, come, down, place, and off. We would have never thought she could be so obedient and be a wonderful addition to the family rather than a tough situation. The real test was to see if she barked when we got home. Wyatt explained to us that the key to fixing the barking was to instill a solid foundation of obedience. He was RIGHT. She rarely ever barks and if she does it is easily corrected. She is a true joy to have in our family and is so well behaved and obedient that she will lay in her "place" cot for hours and never bark which of course leads to special treats while in place! When going for family walks she even heels perfectly for my two year...that's insane. My family cannot properly express how thankful we are for Wyatt and OLK9. We are committed to continuing her obedience daily to ensure she stays a wonderful pup. If you are in need, Wyatt and OLK9 is absolutely the place to go. Any dogs we get in the future are taking a 2 week trip to Wyatt's house. read more

There is nothing in this world that we can do to show our gratitude towards Janessa and OLK9 for even simply agreeing to take our boy. Our dog has severe anxiety issues that made it impossible to ever leaving him alone. Simply if I left to go to the bathroom, it would send him into a fit. Because no one could control him besides me, I had never left him for even a weekend in over a year and a half. I had trainers turn me down or simply refuse to call back after they heard of his issues. I had several people tell me to just put him down because there was no hope. When the day came for his board and train, believe me I was nervous and fully prepared to get a call in the first hour telling me to come pick up my dog as there was no way they could handle him. Instead, I got a text telling me that our boy was simply relaxing and doing so well. My favorite part of this program is just how in touch they stay with you while your dog is in their care. My dog was definitely not the easiest dog to work with and he definitely challenged them. I received so many texts, photos and videos of my dog constantly updating me on how he was doing. I was never out of the loop and that is something that I truly appreciated. I knew that Janessa and her own family was treating my boy like one of their own dogs and that he was in very good hands. They did everything to make not only my dog feel comfortable, but me as well. My dog's issues are severe enough that so many would have given up on him. She never did and saw the potential in him that we as his family knew he always has had. She worked tirelessly to help us show the world the dog that we knew that we had once someone could help him build the confidence that he would need to show it. For the first time in his life, my dog is able to enjoy actually being a dog. He is not the same dog that I dropped off. He is much more confident, happy and so well behaved. He is able to be off leash and play with his friends. He is able to be off leash without us having to stress over if he is going to have a panic attack. I can use the bathroom now without worrying about him having an episode. My favorite thing though was being worry free and getting to play fetch with him in the front yard for the first time in a very long time. I have never seen my dog happier. Janessa and OLK9 not only changed our lives but definitely saved his. Yes, the training packages are expensive and yes, you have to book them in advance. However, from what we have experienced, it is worth every penny. Of course, as with any training program that you do, the training doesn't stop once you leave the trainer's house. You are expected and should keep training your dog at home (just like a child has homework to keep practicing and improving skills learned at school). That being said, in our experience, OLK9 does everything they can to keep in contact before, during, and after your dog's training dates as they want to also see you and your do succeed after turnover. I am beyond proud and grateful for OLK9 West Coast and know that I will definitely be using them again for any future four legged family members that we add. read more

Where do I even begin to explain how wonderful Jennifer Pinder and the staff at Off Leash K9 Training have been. My husband and I got a Golden Retriever who was 10 weeks old to hopefully be trained as a service dog one day for me. Although I was working with her as best as I could, my husband was deployed at the time, I wanted to start her training as soon as possible. So my husband went online and started Googling and Off Leash K9 Training had wonderful reviews and had staff locally. But Off Leash K9 Training doesn't allow boarded training until puppies are 5 months old, and my pup was only about 3.5 months old! My husband reached out and they quickly responded to his emails and questions. They were so professional and helpful and scheduled us a "puppy consultation" within days of us contacting them. Our dog, Tessa Lynn, was able to meet and bond with Jennifer allowing her to give me some feedback and tricks on what I could do to get her on the right path until she was old enough to go to a two week training. Jennifer was absolutely wonderful and so helpful at the puppy consultation and answered any and all questions I had. I felt very comfortable with Tessa being under her supervision and care. So we booked Tessa in for the two week boarded training and I told them I would wait until Jennifer had an opening (she was worth it)! Tessa did her two week course at Jennifer's house and the transformation was amazing. First of all, she sent me updates on Tessa's progress and pictures so I could see her, she knew I missed her like crazy. Jennifer took her on daily adventures and was able to get Tessa from refusing to being on a leash and hating car rides, to walking with and without a leash and always excited to jump in the car and go. For some unknown reason, the vet I took her to for her puppy shots wouldn't allow Tessa out and about until she was over four months old so she was very nervous when she finally was able to be outside without being quarantined to our backyard. Within the first hour Jennifer had her walking on a leash and within a day or two she was off in car rides. Tessa is still very much a puppy but Jennifer has given us the tools to channel her energy to be obedient and have proper manners. She can walk on and off a leash, come, sit, place and load herself in and out of the car. She also can heel while walking on and off a leash and has learned to avoid distractions even while in crowded places. She was always a smart girl but she thrives and loves using all the new things she has learned. Because of her great foundation she learned from Jennifer she is ready and capable of becoming a wonderful service dog. We couldn't be more thankful and we would highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training and more specifically Jennifer Pinder!! read more

We have a 9-month-old black lab, Lacey. She is a very high-spirited pup with a heart of gold. She loves everyone and shows her affection with 60-pound body slams. We have 8 grandchildren, 5 of which are under the age of 6 with 4 other relatives of the same age and all of them visit us frequently. We quickly realized that the combination of 9 little ones and an active, body-slamming slobber factory wasn't going to work out well. Lacey behaved when she wanted to and knew how to manipulate the humans in her life. Taking her for walks was like a 10-ton tractor pull on a leash. It was a full-body workout for me, and my wife couldn't control her at all. We could tell that Lacey was fairly trainable as she learned how to sit, wait, and fetch, but with our busy work schedules, we didn't have the time and lacked the expertise it would take to train her to where we wanted and needed her to be. I must emphasize "lack of expertise" because I truly did not know how I was going to get such a high-spirited dog to focus and behave consistently. With some research of various training methods and schools as well as a very high recommendation from a friend, we chose Off-Leash K9 2-week board and train. Because of our friends' recommendation, we targeted Lori to be the trainer. We signed up for the training in August but learned that Lori is in such high demand, she wasn't available until December. We were given the opportunity to go with another trainer who had earlier availability, but we figured that if Lori is in such high demand, she must be at the top of her league. We were absolutely correct! When we dropped off Lacey, Lori made us feel completely at ease and it was like we were leaving Lacey with a good friend. Lori clearly explained everything that was going to take place and allowed time for as many questions as we wanted. Lori messaged daily updates with Lacey's progress and sent lots of videos. My jaw dropped on seeing the first video. I couldn't believe the progress Lori made in just the first couple of days. Subsequent videos caused me to buy a chin guard. When it came time for the handover this is when Lori's professionalism truly shined. She took a solid hour training us before bringing Lacey out making sure we were mirroring the same commands Lacey had learned over the course of her stay and assuring that we understood, the good work Lori started, is now our responsibility to carry forward. Once Lori brought Lacey out to turn over to us, she spent an additional hour + working with all three of us making sure of a seamless transition. We still have a high-spirited pup with a heart of gold, but now she is disciplined, focused, and taking walks with her is a complete pleasure. I can't thank Lori and OLK9 training enough. read more

We brought our dog, Scout, a 7 month old Chocolate Lab to board and train with Bridgett B. First off, Scout, while eager to please, he is young and incredibly energetic as well as pretty stubborn at times. He is also incredibly strong for being only 7 months and already 70lbs so he is going to only get much larger and stronger. Before when we went on walks, he had to wear a prong collar and even with that was constantly pulling me so hard and even dragging me across the floor with my heels digging in the ground! My husband has a neurological disorder that makes everyday life tough for him and especially situations involving big changes. We have intended for Scout to be a service dog for him to help ease his symptoms related to his disorder and had done a lot of socialization and desensitizing with him but didn't have the skills to get him to where he needed to be obedience wise. Having Scout away was incredibly hard for my husband but Bridgett was amazing at communication and sent us updates every morning at exactly 10am and every night at exactly 6, as well as occasional surprises midday. Her willingness to work with us and openness to understanding and being sensitive of my husband's disability was amazing for our family because it not only gave my husband a sense of security, but it also helped him know when to expect an update and feel connected. More so than that, Bridgett did such a wonderful job with Scout, he is like a new dog in so many ways, while still being the same big goof that we love so much. My once hectic mornings of an insane dog running around jumping all over the furniture while I try to get myself, my husband, and kids out the door is now way more chill as he listens so well and no longer acts like maniac. The transformation is amazing! Walks have no longer involved me being drug across the floor or my shoulders being ripped out of their sockets! We have been way more confident and secure taking him everywhere with us as we continue to train him as a service dog and We have been working with Scout to further improve his skills after this experience as he is still so young and reactive to other dogs. He has DRAMATICALLY improved in his obedience and behavior! All of our lives just feel so much richer now that we have had this incredible experience. We couldn't be happier to have this very solid foundation to build upon. Bridgett is super down to earth, has a great sense of humor, and more than that, she is wonderful with the dogs and at what she does!!! Thank you Bridgett. We are so grateful from the bottom of our hearts! I am sure Scout misses you! read more

We love OLK9! We have a super high energy, 9 month old, German Shepherd named Ranger. Ranger is a sweet dog but over the past few months had become dog reactive, was totally lacking respect, was too hyper and pushy with the 1.5 and 3.5 yr old children in our house, and had started chasing our goat and horses. We knew we needed to make a change for him to become the confident and happy member of our family we wanted. I spent countless hours reviewing and researching different trainers, training centers, and programs. I found OFLK9, reached out to Tom, and watched about 300 of the 500+ videos online. After watching the videos, reading every review possible, and getting all of our questions answered by Tom in a very quick, professional, and understanding way, we decided to sign our boy up for the 2 week Board and Train program. Our Trainer Ashley was fantastic. She sent us texts, pictures, and videos of Rangers progress throughout the 2 weeks and is continuing to communicate with us after picking him up. He has solid knowledge of all his commands and although he is a puppy and imperfect at times, Ashley has spent plenty of time with us to assure we help him continue to master his training. He now walks perfectly on a leash, heels without it, listens when we ask him to leave the other animals alone, and can be in the same room with the kids on a "Place" while they are running around playing. When we picked up Ranger the first thing Ashley did was bring out the E Collar and demonstrate exactly how to use it. She also had us "test" it on our hand, while I had read that it was not an actual shock, I was relieved to feel it on my own hand and truly understand what my dog was experiencing. That experience and the in depth explanation from Ashley gave us the confidence to use the tool confidently and correctly. As for Ranger, he is happier to know what is expected of him , more confident because he experiences more praise and less frustration from us, and he is also calm because he has respect for us, our other dogs and animals, and his surroundings. All that being said, he is still a puppy and our baby, the Training or the E collar have not made him lazy, sad, or changed his personality, the combination of experienced training and effective training tools has made him a happier, adjusted member of our family Thank you Ashley, Tom, and OLK9! read more

Wow, just wow! I'll start by saying I was afraid of going this route for training at first because I loved how playful, confident, energetic, social and just downright crazy my Misha is and I've heard horror stories (especially from certain pet store chain trainers) about how board and train programs basically just take your dog and break them down into a sad scared submissive animal with cruel E-collar tools! Well all I can say is that is just flat out NOT TRUE!! Every bit of my Mishas personality is still 100% intact! In fact I would say she's even more confident and sociable now except she doesn't jump up all over and paw her new friends to death like she used to. The best part about her personality still being intact is now she has the added trait of OBEDIENCE!! She is just the perfect pet now!! There is still going to be work needed to be put in on our part but Megan has definitely paved the way for us, she has a way with dogs!! I swear she is a dog whisperer lol! So I couldn't wait to get home from work today and see just what my Misha (5 m.o. Husky) learned while she was away with Megan for the two week Board and Train program! I had to pick her up from Megan last night after I got off work it was later in the afternoon and Megan was super accommodating!! So we went for a walk around our neighborhood where normally she's trying to rip my arm off the entire time, smell/eat EVERYTHING and meet every person/animal in our path and it was a night and day difference!! I barely had to correct her the entire time we walked she just stayed right at my side (NO LEASH NECESSARY)! This walk was such a different experience in a totally good way!! She was a well mannered well behaved pupper the whole time, when I stopped she knew to stop and wait for me and when we got home I released her from heel she was her happy crazy playful self and gave me so many kisses :) I'm so stoked with how things turned out!!! The two week board and train program is totally worth it! Megan is an incredible trainer!! My Misha is just as happy and playful as ever but completely disciplined and obeys her commands quickly after they are given! If you're thinking about it JUST DO IT!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

This review is long overdue. Our family unsuccessfully implemented a training program for our Australian Shepard Rocket that I found for free online. Rocket would do well with just my husband and I but as soon as our sons would get home from school it was constant chaos. And with guests scheduled to visit for the holidays we needed help to get Rocket trained and ready. After doing research we decided on K9 Off Leash training. Their website gave me enough information to reach out and when I was contacted by Janessa she made me feel comfortable to move forward with training. My family decided on the two week K9 urban training program and our trainer was Bellah. A few days before the start of Rockets training with Bellah, she reached out to let us know what to expect from training and from her. The day of drop off I was a bit nervous but Bellah and her partner greeted us, her partner took Rocket to the side to play so Bellah and I could speak without Rocket interupting. The next two weeks we were greeted with detailed daily updates, pictures and videos. I forwarded the daily messages to my family so everyone was on the same page with Rockets training progress. We met at Lowe's for our turn over session. Rocket was able to show off what he learned with everything going on in the store and with the excitement of seeing his family after two weeks. We were really impressed with Rockets progress especially my husband who was skeptical about the program. He's like a whole new dog that listens with the same happy and loving personality. We didn't wait to put his training to the test and took Rocket with our family to visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Griffith Observatory the next day. Rocket was not perfect but he did amazing. He was able to walk on a crowded sidewalk, sit and wait patiently while people watching and play at a park with kids and other dogs. Rocket also did very well at home with an extra six people in the house. Bellah did check on Rocket a few times after training and let us know that she is always available if we have any questions. Overall we are very happy with K9 Off Leash training and would highly recommend their program to anyone. read more

I am forever grateful for finding this Offleash K9 to hire for my puppy, Mia. I have a 6.5 month old Belgian Malinois. Prior to training, Mia was growing increasingly hard to walk because of her pulling. She was also very distracted by cyclist, runners, other dogs and would want to lunge at them or jump on them for play. When Mia hit the 5 month stage, she was so big and strong she was pulling me. Our walks were not enjoyable. I stopped taking her out to social gatherings because I didn't have control over her. The pulling got so bad, I stopped taking her on walks and was having to take her to the dog park twice a day because I could let her free in a gated area. I knew I had to do something effective and quick for both of our happiness. The whole purpose of me getting Mia was to take her every where with me, to go on adventures and be able to walk in her in social scenes. I purposely choose the 2 week board and train because I knew if I had done the classes myself, it would have taken months to get her trained. I choose to get Mia and felt I owed it to her and to us to get her trained as soon as possible so we can really enjoy each other. It is the best investment I have ever made. The trainer I was assigned to was Megan. I could not be happier that I got her. She is sweet and sincerely cared about Mia. I received text and videos every day. Mia had the biggest smiles in every picture and video. I could tell and feel how much Megan loved Mia and that made me feel so at ease with the board and train. It is not easy trusting others with your beloved fur babies, but I trust Megan and Mia LOVES her. That made the experience better for me. When I brought her home, I could already see such a major improvement. I think it is important to say that although your trainer trained your dog, you also have to put the work into it at home. You have to instill what was taught and at first, your dog is going to test you and see what they can get away with because they are so used to you and what they did before. I could not be more proud of Mia and what she has gained from this training. A special thanks to Megan, Mia's trainer. You are a saint. I appreciate you. read more

Jennifer Pinder in Highland, CA is a miracle worker. In August I adopted Hank, a 10 month old, 50 pound mixed breed (pit/lab) puppy. I knew within the first week I was in over my head. I have always trained my own dogs, but I'm now 71 years old and Hank is a very strong, opinionated dog. I researched my training options and chose Off Leash and Jennifer based on the video transformations I viewed and a personal endorsement from my vet's staff. I was skeptical because basically what I had was a wild animal. He ignored all commands, ran around the house and yard like crazy tearing up things, jumped up on everyone, could not be walked on a leash, and was just rude. My sister and I put two leashes on him to take him to PetSmart. After he dragged us through the door, he jumped up on a man and kissed him. Once we pulled Hank off, he ran over and stole a toy from the bin. Very embarrassing! I had to wait until mid October for an opening for the two week board and train program with Jennifer. By the time his training date came up, Hank weighed almost 65 lbs. and was no easier to handle. The board and train program is excellent because your dog lives in the house with the trainer and their family, including any pets. Hank got the opportunity to play with Jennifer's dogs and gain some training in pack manners. Jennifer took Hank multiple places so he could train with distractions. They went to Balboa Park (on day 4 of training), Victoria Gardens, Lowe's, and Old Town San Diego. Before training, Hank was not allowed in my horse area because he chased the horses and could not be controlled. Two days after I brought him home from training, he walked, off leash, at "heel" to the barn even though there were people there. Also, at the "off" command he stayed out of the stalls and arena. Amazing! We were a little concerned about altering Hank's personality through training. That didn't happen. We still have the same goofy pup, just an AWESOME version of him. We got just what we were promised. If your dog needs training, take advantage of this effective method. I got back a dog I'm no longer embarrassed to own, but one I can be proud of for the rest of his life! read more

We have just completed the most incredible three-week board-and-train experience with Tanya and Nathalie for our 2-year-old Weimaraner, Blue. From day one, we knew in our hearts that we were in the best hands with these two amazing ladies. When it came time for the handoff, my husband and I were filled with mixed emotions--we were thrilled to have Blue back, but also a bit sad knowing how much she had enjoyed her time with Tanya and Nathalie. Tanya and Nathalie's communication was exceptional from start to finish. They provided us with daily updates, sharing detailed insights into Blue's training sessions and progress. Their dedication and commitment were remarkable as they worked with Blue on several challenges, including her fear and anxiety, barking at people, pulling on the leash, and jumping on others. What else sets Tanya and Nathalie apart is their genuine love and passion for dogs--and for Blue in particular. We boarded Blue with Tanya over the Christmas period, and she was so thoughtful with buying her gifts and toys for Blue. The communication was outstanding throughout. Tanya and Nathalie sent us countless photos, videos, and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind and reassured us that Blue was in the best hands. In just three weeks, Blue underwent a dramatic transformation and is now the best version of herself--all thanks to Tanya and Nathalie. They also exposed Blue to a variety of situations, environments, and methods to build her confidence, as well as spending time with their own dogs. It was clear that Blue was not only learning but also having fun and feeling loved. What truly stands out is their thoughtful, educational approach. Tanya and Nathalie took the time to thoroughly explain their training methods, both in written updates and during the handoff, ensuring my husband and I felt confident and informed about continuing Blue's progress at home. I cannot say enough positive things about Tanya and Nathalie. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine love for what they do are unmatched. I highly recommend working with them if you're considering training for your dog--you won't regret it! read more

We brought our 18 month old Golden Retriever to Kody at Off leash K9 training in Sacramento. We had gotten a golden thinking it would be similar to a lab which we had in the past but he was a lot different. What we learned about golden's is that they need more mental stimulation. We were walking our golden Charlie, every day for 3-5 miles but he was still getting into trouble and seeking attention. Most of his attention seeking behavior unfortunately was negative. We started leaving him home a lot when we would go on outdoor adventures because we felt that he was too much to handle. At some point we realized that we were no longer enjoying our Charlie Bear in the way we thought we would when we first got him. We felt then that we needed to make a change so that he could enjoy being with us outdoors and we could feel confident in taking him places because we knew he would be a good listener. After just one week we got our Charlie back and it was a total transformation. We are so grateful to Off leash K9 and especially our trainer Kody. You can tell that Kody really loves what he does. He gained Charlie's trust very quickly and was able to train him very well. He was also very knowledgeable about training and was easily able to convey that information to me in our turn over. We've had Charlie back a few days now and we have had so much fun being with him as a family at home and outdoors. He no longer is seeking negative attention and we have been taking him out with us without being full of anxiety. I have realized as well that by taking him on his normal 3 mile morning walks that when I am including all of his commands and throwing in lots of extra love and praise that it is not only reinforcing OLK9 techniques but it is bonding us more and it is tiring him out physically and mentally. Training has become so fun again. Our 7 year old also has been able to walk him on our evening walks with ease. They are the best of friends so this means a lot to her. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking to enjoy your pet and if you want your pet to truly be a part of your family instead of just another chore. read more

I have a 9 month old Belgian Malinois that is very protective of me. He would growl and lunge at anyone that got close to me. My trainer Eric, came to my house to see how Bear would react to him. Of course, he went nuts and tried to go after him. Eric's reaction was amazing. He just smiled and said "Oh, we have some work to do with you ". Within a few minutes he was walking him on leash. Bear still didn't like him by any means but he realized very quickly that he was no longer the one in charge. I had originally purchased the basic and advanced training so I could be involved with the training. After 4 sessions, Bear was learning a lot and following my commands but he just was still overly protective so my husband and I decided that we needed more help and wanted to have Bear go into the two week board and train. The customer service you will get from this company is nothing short of incredible. Because we had already paid for the advanced training, I asked if we could switch to the board and train and pay the difference. They were very accommodating and made the change right away. Keep in mind this dog doesn't like anyone but me. My 93 year old father couldn't get close to him let alone a stranger but within a couple days Bear had fallen in love with Eric. He sent me videos every day and I could see how happy Bear was. After a week in training, Eric and I met to talk about my concerns with Bear's over protectiveness. He explained to me that he was not a bad dog. The bond that Bear and I share is very strong and he might need to see a behavioral expert for help. He apologized and said that he would be speaking to Tom (the owner) about refunding our money. Within the hour I received a text from Tom apologizing for not being able to accomplish what we had hoped for and that he would be giving us a 100% refund. They absolutely stood behind their guarantee. I can't say enough good things about this place. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help with their dog. read more

I picked up my 6 month old German Shepherd/Lab mix from the14 days boarding program with Megan. Skylar was very hyper, she had NO self control. She got easily distracted by any little noise like a bird to a car pulling down the street even though its a little ways from her. She was also very scared of other dogs barking, she would bolt up the stairs because Skylar thought the other dog was going to attack her. When I would try to take Skylar on walks, she would excessively pull on the leash and jump jump on people. I was lucky if she would let me walk her long distance on the side walk on main roads, but she also got scared of cars driving by. We sent her to this boarding training program and though I had anxiety leaving her, it was a great turn out. Skylar is not scared of walking on the side walks, she listen most of the time, and she knows her commands, She still doesn't respect us since she's been with Megan for two weeks but we've been patient and will continue to work with Skylar to respect and love us at the time. Skylar was still a little hyper when she seen my cat but thanks to the E-collar we have been training to not jump on the cat unless she wanted to get scratched by her (LOL). This program set the foundation of a process to make Skylar the best dog she can be. Skylar is very smart and I just have the patients to use the methods and what Megan taught her to have her up to par. Megan kept us up to date everyday on what Skylar did for the day. She also sent pics and cute little videos. I knew she was in good hands with Megan, I read all the other reviews before sending her off, haha. We were recommended to still use the e-collar on Skylar since she is still a pup and had a puppy mentality which isn't a problem. I still use it especially when we go out for walks. Skylar did amazing on the walk we had last night and she did not jump on people walking by nor got scared of dogs barking. I love this program and it was worth each penny. read more

Off Leash K9 Training has been a god send for us TWICE now! Jennifer was our trainer for both of our dogs. We did the 2 week board and train for both of our dogs. We have 2 German shepherds and were having some difficulty with door manners and leash pulling (among other things). We took our original dog Loki last year and she did a phenomenal job with him. Since then, we have also been able to board him with her when out of town. We recently adopted a second dog during quarantine. We adopted her when she was 1.5 years old so she had some bad habits that were hard to break. The two dogs together were impossible to walk. After 2 weeks with Jennifer, holly is much more polite and manageable. We brought Loki back for a couple of days at the end of her two weeks so they could train together and she was able to get them on a walking routine to make it easier for one person to walk them together. Overall, we are so happy with the training that both of our pups have received. Jennifer was amazing with them both times around and she sends frequent updates and videos so you can see their progress throughout! She trains them in a variety of locations and the training is really tailored to what your needs are (you'll compete a short questionnaire at the before you start the training). The two week board and train is pricey (for obvious reasons), but they have other training options if your dogs don't need quite as much attention. The other thing we were wary about when we first started was the negative connotations that come along with using an e-collar on dogs. BUT the very first thing Jennifer had us do was try it on ourselves. We found it very similar to a TENS unit and it put our minds at ease quite a bit knowing we weren't hurting our pups. And although we still get some looks on walks while we use the collars, we know it is in the best interest of our dogs and for the safety of everyone around. We highly recommend!!! read more

After a lot of consideration we chose Off Leash K-9 for the training of our dog Henry. Henry is a Border Collie and was a good dog but had a lot of behavioral issues. We were very skeptical at first as we had Henry in a training program at a different establishment which was not effective and very costly. After being contacted by Off Leash we were introduced to our trainer Elaine. She was very receptive and asked us a lot of pertinent questions concerning Henry. This reassured us of our decision because the last training Henry got this wasn't the case. We felt like Off Leash was a better fit and had confidence in the training and especially our trainer Elaine, but we still didn't think he could really change that much!!! He was super aggressive and very reactive with dogs, kids, motorcycles and everything you can imagine. Elaine came to our house and met Henry and pretty much instantly we felt validated in our decision and her abilities as a trainer. We really felt hopeful for the first time that we might be able to have a normal situation with our dog. We did a three week program that is a bit more thorough for dogs who need more instruction and discipline. We were updated everyday by Elaine with texts and videos!!! We were quickly reassured in what was happening and the training he was receiving and watched him change in real time. This gave us confidence and comfort during the process! We have embraced it and now Henry is a different dog. . He's soooooo much more relaxed. Listens to us every time and our relationship with him has been way more rewarding and just wonderful. We really had no idea it could go so well!! It's been a couple of weeks and it's better everyday! We Have been recommending Off Leash to everyone and we are sure that all the trainers are great but cant imagine a better one for Henry than Elaine!!! Thank you guys for making our lives and Henry's life So much better and easier!!! read more

Our 2-year-old husky/lab mix, Sunny, was a lovable but headstrong bundle of energy - he definitely needed some strong guidance and training! He was pulling on the leash, jumping up on people, not coming when called, and stopped constantly to savor all kinds of smells and tastes on his walks. My wife and I researched a lot of dog training options, but we decided that the 2-week live-in program with Off Leash K9 Training was our best bet. Like any fur baby parents, we were initially very hesitant to "lose" him for that long, but the staff were so kind and helpful with our questions and concerns that we felt happy and at ease with our decision. The trainer, Eric Del Toro, was absolutely terrific from the very first phone call and talked us through the process patiently and professionally, and drop-off day was easy and completely stress-free. Eric kept in constant contact with us by phone and text throughout the two weeks and sent us photos and videos of Sunny at least twice a day! We were able to see the amazing transition in our dog day to day, from a stubborn goofball to an alert and attentive trained animal at the end. Eric obviously loves dogs and treated Sunny like one of his own pets during the training, and our boy was having the time of his life while away at "doggy camp". We can't say enough good things about Eric and the Off Leash K9 Training program, and how it has literally transformed our lives for the better! Sunny has been home for two days now, and we are committed to keeping up with the training and practicing with him. It has been nothing short of amazing to have him listen, heel, stay, sit/lie in place when told, and stop doing anything naughty immediately with a simple "off" command! We are so happy and proud to have such a polite and obedient dog, and we highly recommend this program to anyone wishing to transform their pet as we have experienced. read more

All I can say is Michelle and Christie deseve at least 10 stars. They took our sweet adorable ...out of control Chloe and taught her manners with love and patience. Here's how it all started. Chloe our 1 year old lab mix puppy was sweet ,smart ,loving but would NOT mind. She would not come, or sit, definitely not stay and the final straw was when she darted out the front door and ran off..can you imagine two 62 year olds running down the street after a lab puppy...yeah it wasn't fun. Right then we started looking for someone to help us. After several meet and greets with trainers I found Michelle and Christie's videos, I watched probably 50 of them. We decided they were the ones for us, and let me tell you we were NOT disappointed. From the first drop off we felt comfortable. Everyday we got videos and updates. We choose the 2 week board and train. The first day we were getting videos of her healing...this is the dog we couldnt walk because she would pull us down...we were in disbelief. The videos kept coming of her staying...sitting..healing...not darting out the front door..we couldn't believe it. When we went and got her, Michelle spent 3 . hours with us and trained us how to walk her and how to handle things when we got home, that was two weeks ago and I can say without a doubt we have the best dog in our neighborhood, the change is unbelievable!!! We can relax knowing our sweet Chloe will mind us....oh I forgot the constant barking...that has stopped too. Its not cheap to send your dog to training, but I can assure you it WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! Its the best money we've spent in years. So here's 100 stars to our new friends Michelle and Christie who have still checked in with us every few days to make sure we were doing good. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH THESE TWO BRILLANT DOG TRAINERS!!!! THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU... you changed our lives!!!!! read more

I recently sent my 3-year-old Golden Retriever terrier Mix (65 lbs) to the two weeks, board-and train with Bret Chamberlain. Initially, the price threw me off guard, and I see how a dog could be trained in just two weeks. So I watch a lot of Off-Leash K9 Training Youtube videos. After watching what felt like a 100 videos of trainers teaching dogs, I decided to give it a shot. It was worth every dollar! My dog (Cashew) is a good dog, but need quite a bit of improvement. She knew tricks like sit, and lay down but could not hold them for a long period, she had poor leash manners and showed aggression towards others. So I gave OLK9 a call and got set up, the appointment was about two months out, and my dog was assigned to Bert. Two months had gone by, and it was time to drop off Cashew. So I had driven to his house and Cashew, and I had meet Bert for the first time. Cashew, as usual, barked aggressively (Which I had no idea how to control) but we got past that and Bert had shown us to Cashew's kennel (which was very large and temp controlled). And that was it. Every day Bert would send me a picture of video of Cashew and let me know how she was doing/progressing. As it neared the end of the two weeks, Bert had sent me a video of Cashew's transformation. I was amazed to see my dog following all these commands with perfection! The next day was pick op day. I meet Bert at a nearby park and Bert took the time to go over everything, we started with the e-collar and then went to commands. Bert made sure that I knew all the commands and could confidently execute them with the e-collar, which can be a bit tricky at first. After about 3 hours we were all done. Bert had even returned Cashew groomed!! I now feel more confident taking Cashew out on walks without her pulling me or others, and now have the tools to cut back the barking at strangers significantly. read more

We have a 1 year old very ecstatic and happy German Shepherd. She sometimes does not realize how big she is. We would be very embarrassed to take her out in public bc she would pull on the leash, jump on people, and bark very loudly. We have tried the 6 week program and found that this was not working well with our family routine. After her little bandit decided to book it frantically when the front door open bc she wanted to play with a passing puppy, we decided through the terrified screams from the older woman that our hyper little pup is a liability and we needed quicker and more reliable results. After reviewing a few other training schools, we quickly came to a decision the moment we met Michelle from Off Leash Training. She thoroughly explained the training process and did not hesitate to show us in person when I asked her if she could show me an example with the dogs she currently had with her training. We could tell that she is passionate with what she does. Michelle made sure keep us updated daily with how our puppy was progressing. We could not be happier with how well behaved our furr baby has turned out. With the help from Off Leash Training and continued practice after the program, we feel confident to take our pup out in public off leash. Everyone now compliments how well behaved and pretty she is. Our puppy walks and hold her head up high with more confidence in herself as well. I highly highly highly recommend using Off Leash Training. Best investment in our furr baby we made. I was also pleased that the owner himself also calls to check up on the services after the program and Michelle has also kept in contact. Off Leash offers life time follow ups if ever needed and I really appreciate that. If your puppy is lacking confidence and obedience, without a doubt Off Leash is the best program out there! read more
