I cannot recommend OLK9, and specifically Trainer Christina enough. My pup is 5.5 years old, extremely sweet, but would get extremely excited around other people/ dogs. We couldn't take him in public. When we'd have to take him to the vet, he would pull so hard (90 lb pitbull/ American bull dog, so he pulls HARD) that he would choke himself and make my hand hurt from holding the leash, and he would SCREAM/ bark/ cry when we wouldn't let him go up to people and dogs. He wouldn't tire out. He would do that the entire time. It was stressful as all heck when we'd have people over to our house. He would jump all over people, knock over small kids, non stop licking people, etc for about 15-20 min before calming down. If we kept him crated when people were over, he'd scream the entire time (I'm talking HOURS). It was extremely stressful. We did the 2 week board and train program with Christina. I'll be honest, because his issues seemed more like personality issues rather than not knowing commands, etc. I was a little nervous that our biggest concerns wouldn't be fixed. Him sitting, laying down, walking on heel, etc would be nice and all, but really what we needed was for him to be able to CALM DOWN around people. Lucky for us, we got the best of both worlds! My husband and I are blown away by the change in our boy. It's truly day and night. We picked him just one week ago. Yesterday I took him to the local Farmer's Market. He walked at a heel the whole time, not pulling toward any of the other people or dogs. We also spent multiple minutes at a time in a "sit" or "down" position just watching. This used to be a scenario where he'd be going crazy trying to get to everyone, but he remained calm for the whole 45 ish minutes we were there. Shortly after that, we had 2 new-to-Wesley friends come over to our house. I placed him on his cot before they came in the door. He jumped up once, but after I placed him back on it, he remained there and didn't move until I allowed him too. I thought for sure after I let him off, he'd run over and jump on his new friends. But nope! He walked over and let them pet him, but remained calm with all four feet on the floor and didn't lick them like crazy. He spend most of the afternoon just laying near us but not demanding attention like usual. He even stayed by himself quietly inside, while we were in the backyard (another first, he always wants to be where the people are) A total transformation!! Not having him for 2 weeks was definitely tough but Christina sent us multiple pictures and videos every single day, letting us know how he was doing and just showing us his cute face. She was quick to answer every question. You can truly tell how much she loves dogs and what she does. When we picked him up, we spent about 2 hours where Christina taught up how to use the e collar and worked on some training with us and Wesley together. The only thing I'm disappointed in with this training is not doing it sooner. I am in awe of what my boy learned at almost 6 years old and I truly cannot recommend Christina enough. We drove 5+ hours round trip for her training and it was so so worth the drive and the cost. THANK YOU CHRISTINA!!! read more

Chaos, our one year old male Doberman, lived true to his name. Barely manageable, he was and remains an arrogant and stubborn stud. Enter Channa from Off Leash Training Sac. She kept our high energy incredibly smart pooch for the two week board and train. We got a break while Chaos underwent intensive training. He's back now and Channa has provided us with a fantastic foundation to build upon. Thank you Channa for the excellent & personable training and Janessa for your patience and expertise.

We took Ivy, our 7 month old German Shepherd/Malinois mix, for the 2-week off-leash program with Channa, and we were very satisfied. Ivy is an extremely energetic puppy who has a hard time focusing on following commands, and her recall was really bad. When I took her for walks, it was very difficult because she pulled a lot and was reactive to dogs and people that passed by. Also, taking Ivy anywhere was very difficult because she was really hard to handle. After the two-week program with Channa, Ivy is able to follow commands, her recall is really good and her heel is beautiful. The best thing about the training is that it has given us more confidence to handle her and the opportunity to include Ivy in more outside activities. I would highly recommend the program! read more

My dog, Lulu, went to the two week Board and Train in June this year. Christina D. was her trainer and Lulu spent 14 days in the Paradise for animals and humans that is Christina's home. She had the best time and learned so much. It's so true what they say that dogs love to work and learn, it is fulfilling and educating. Among other tasks, Lulu learned to place, stay, and come as well as heel. This is exactly what I hoped would happen because although she is a small dog (less than 25#) she is very strong and could easily pull me down. Once I picked her up it was my responsibility to continue to work with her to cement her training and build that communication with me she had with Christina. I'm not going to lie, it was harder for me to get up to speed than it was for Lulu and I pestered Christina pretty badly for the first ten days or so after we were home again. She was kind and patient during that process. I was so delighted to see Lulu happily respond once she got calm consistent commands. She has become the dog I dreamed of and more! I highly recommend Off Leash K9 and especially Christina. read more

My dog Lila went through the 3 Week Board and Train program this month. She has always been a loving and affectionate dog but definitely struggled with reactivity and following commands. I am located in the Sacramento area and Channa was my trainer. She did an excellent job caring for and teaching my girl structure. She was very sweet to my dog in the various videos she kept me updated with. When picking Lila up after three weeks I saw obey her commands that she never knew before. I was very impressed by the support and clarity Channa provided throughout the whole process. When I had questions and concerns she reassured me and gave me guidance. I was looking at a few different companies but am glad I settled on Off Leash K9 Training. The cost was worth all the knowledge Lila absorbed and practice she engaged in every day. I would definitely recommend this company and program to others who may be looking to improve the quality of life for their pet. read more

Christina did an amazing job with our 2 year old pittie! We adopted Jax about 2 months ago and when we brought him home there was a lot we knew we needed to work on with him. Christina was so amazing with him, they had a lot of fun together and I could tell he grew to love her too! He is so much better with all his commands and with stability, going on walks has become a breeze, and having him off leash has made not only us happy but Jax happy as well! read more

This has been one of our best decisions made using this company. I was very skeptical signing up. I chose the 14 day board and train program and was assigned with our trainer Channa. We have an 8 month old French bulldog that was full of energy and completely out of control. The word sit was out of the question. Fast forward 14 days later we were handed over a well mannered behaved dog. Exactly what was advertised is what we received. Channa was amazing, she was very communicative and listened very well to our concerns and addressed them all. Daily updates and videos to keep us informed of all the progress our dog made. Channa is truly a pro and has a passion to work with animals. If you are thinking of training your dog look no further I'm a true believer in this company and Channa, the final results will amaze you. Thank you very much Channa!!! I would definitely train another dog with off leash K9 in a heartbeat. Ask for Channa you won't be disappointed. read more

I got my dog trained by Adena and she did a phenomenal job. I chose the 7-day program. My dog was always pulling so much on walks, barking at people, and jumping on kids. Now he walks effortlessly through groups of people by my side and doesn't bark at anyone. Adena was so sweet & explained everything in detail. I definitely recommend to get your dog trained by them! read more

Took my 7 month German Shepard for the two week on boarding program with trainer, Channa, and it helped tremendously! My pup came back better than ever!

I recently adopted a new dog and quickly realized he was severely neglected in his original home. My trainer, Channa, was AMAZING. She worked with us not only to implement basic commands, but to nurse my pup back to health. He received the nutrition he desperately needed during the training process. I received daily updates and Channa was always willing to go out of her way to help us. We now have the foundation needed to continue training at home. We couldn't have done it without Channa and we are so grateful!! read more

Dogs need a job to do or become destructive. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard and expensive way! I tried to train her myself but I was not consistent and unintentionally taught her not to obey my commands by showing her affection when she was good and when she was bad, accidentally. This is because I didn't understand how her brain works! I was desperate because she was chewing everything from furniture, kitchen cabinets, walls, baseboards and even rocks in the yard! She wouldn't come when called, lay or sit down and stay. She chased and barked at me mopping and vacuuming. It was very bad! One night I realized that I had to do whatever it takes to fund training or have a very stubborn dog that ruins my home. Giving her up was not an option. I went online and researched the best dog training options, called a couple of places, went to different facilities and then realized that the only way to train Gigi consistently and get the desired results is to board and train with the right professionals. I researched several places before I found Channa at Off Leash K9 Training in Marysville, CA and it has been the best decision ever for us! Now I have the tools in my box to work with Gigi confidently and so does Gigi! She doesn't chase the mop or vacuum barking loudly with anxiety anymore. I simply tell her to place on an object like her bed and she stays there calmly until I give her the break command to let her release. Her baby brother if 7 months is starting to listen to me and watch what Gigi does. I gave her the place command last night when she was chasing the mop and she was being stubborn and wouldn't do it. Her little brother Giovonnni jumped up on the pillow and placed! I was shocked, and so was Gigi! He made her look bad and she just was not going to stand for that! I gave her a different pillow to place and she did it! They both placed while I mopped the floor! Epic improvement!! So proud of my Gigi's achievement! I'm happy that Giovonni is taking her good behaviors on now. It's just been 3 days so we are still settling into the training but it has been life changing for us all. Happy doggy family! I highly recommend Channa at Off Leash K9 Training and it has been an excellent return on the investment! Thank you Channa & Off Leash K9 Training.

Our dog name is Koga and we did the Urban 2 week board and train. Before the training Koga pulled constantly and would pick and choose when he wanted to listen.

I took my 2 year old, high energy lab mix to Channa for training. Lexi is a Covid puppy. As a result she was never socialized. I failed to understand her behavior/ personality. Lexi controlled me. Nothing I knew about dog training worked with her and I was not enjoying the constant battles. Her trainer Channa understand immediately that Lexi had no confidence. Lexi understood the commands but would not perform them. She barked incessantly and pulled so hard on a leash that she pulled me down. Lexi's training gave her confidence and me confidence. The difference is amazing. She can walk off leash! She responds to commands and holds her place. The Off Leash Training approach is simple and practical. Channa is a great teacher. I knew she understood Lexi and me. Now Lexi and I understand each other. Our lives together have changed for the better. Thank you Channa! read more

This review is a little bit old but still needed to put it out there. We are VERY satisfied with he 2 week board and train we had our mastiff puppy, 5 moths at the time, Odin do with trainer Alyssa from Off Leash K9. He had zero manners and was horrible on the leash. He liked to pull really hard and would throw tantrums when out for walks. He now walks beautifully at heel even with my 14yo and 9yo. I love the commands they use (come, sit, down, place, off, break). It makes remembering what to say really easy with not having bunch of words to remember. Odin is now 10 months and is doing great. Keeping consistent and working with him daily helps a lot. We even get help if we have questions that need to be answered even now that he is back home. If we ever get another dog, big or small, I would do the training again in a heart beat. read more

I'm super happy with my experience with Off Leash K9 and our trainer Channa. I was very scared to signup my golden retriever for a board and train program but it was needed as he was a bit out of control to the point that I didn't know what to do. From the moment I first contacted them with an inquiry, they were super responsive and attentive to my needs and concerns. Once training started, Channa was very good at communicating not only progress in regards to the training but also about Albus in general which made me feel like Albus was in good hands. Before training Albus had no confidence or stability and would pull so hard on a leash that it would make taking him for a walk more stressful than it needed to be. Now that Albus is back home it is amazing to see how well he does! We even took him to the pet store the other day and he did great at staying by my side and not even moving when other dogs would walk by whereas before training the would lose it and I had to use all of my strength to get him to not lunge at other dogs. We now even take longer walks as he just heels and my energy now goes into walking rather than trying to hold him! Albus continues to be the most amazing, loving dog but now we have control and now we can trust him in different environments. It has changed my relationship with him for the better and I cannot thank Channa enough for helping him but also helping me understand what kind of dog parent Albus needs! Thank you Channa and OffLeash K9! read more

Off Leash K9 Training Sacramento - Pet Training Near Me - Sacramento, California

After researching advanced training for our 5 year old Shepherd, Doberman, Golden mix doggo we settled on Off Leash K9 Sacramento. Our trainer, Christina D., was all that we could have hoped for. She is experienced and knows how to work with specific needs. Our dog had anxieties that came out in the form of constant barking at people and dogs on walks. It got to the point were it was too hard to control him because of his size and pulling on the leash that we had to stop walks because they weren't safe. We would just play at home to get exercise but we wanted him with us on trips and walks, etc.. He tried to flee and hide if we are out in public/camping, or he would act erratically and bark incessantly. Inside our home he had no issues except barking at the doorbell excessively. We had tried online research and rewards but no good progress. Christina with Off Leash K9 trained our dog for 14 days at her big property and at local public places. Our dog did very well and was responsive to her technics and the Ecollar. It helped to get and keep his attention while training therefore allowing him to focus on Christina and her commands. It helped to build his confidence and keep control of his actions. Our family received 2 hours of detailed training for how to move forward, very thorough! We can call if we need future guidance too. I find at home now, after training, i do not need use the Ecollar and he responds to the commands right away. He is wearing it a few hours per day for small training sessions. His barking at the doorbell has greatly improved...he may bark 3-4 times and we repeat the command to have him stop. It is working well! On our walks, he no longer drags us and he walks side by side with the Ecollar and commands. Work is still needed in areas that he is unfamiliar in and with distractions but we keep doing what we were trained on and it is improving each time. Our oldest son can now control our dog enough to walk him safety. There has been no barking at neighbors or other dogs in the week since we've been home. We tried a walk by the lake, where he is not used to, and there were lots of distractions. He does need a little more work to become more used to the distractions and keep building confidence. Overall, we are thrilled. I highly recommend this. It will also take work on the owners part to enforce what your dog has learned! It's worth the extra time we'll get to enjoy with him. read more

I put my dog Skyla through the 2 weeks program with Channa. Skyla did not listen to commands and she was aggressive towards other dogs, people and little kids. I'm absolutely impressed with this program and it exceeded my expectations. Skyla is definitely a changed dog and I feel more confident taking her out in public places, having people around her and especially little kids. Channa did an amazing job at communicating with me regarding Skyla's progress and she patiently went over all the commends and training during pick up day. I'm so happy that I made the decision to go with Off Leash K9 Training. I highly recommend this business to anyone who is looking to have their dog be train. Thank you again Channa! read more

My pups went for training at 5 months. They really were full of little crazy puppy behavior. Two weeks with Adam and these dogs are Rock Stars!! They sit, down, heel - wait at the door to let me in!! And they do this all on and off leash. This was an excellent investment improving the quality of my life with the pups and their life with me. I can take them anywhere. They have a whole repertoire of skills in just 2 weeks! They came home well trained but still the same loving happy pups they were before they left. I would strongly recommend Adam as the trainer if you go with this company. He is caring, attentive, knowledgeable and very responsive to owners. In addition you get a lifetime guarantee. If I have questions I am positive Adam & this company will rise to the occasion. read more

Off Leash K9 Training Sacramento - Hap & Brynn 5 month old Welsh Pembroke Corgi! - Pet Training Near Me - Sacramento, California

I couldn't find the Off Leash K9 for the Sacramento area but I'll leave my review here for that location. Peanut Butter my Chihuahua/Bichon Frise mix who is 3 years old went to Ashley as his trainer for a Board & Stay. I watched the Youtube videos for months before deciding to let Peanut go to this training program, as I wanted some professional training for him to get a step into becoming my Service Dog. (Keep in mind this company doesn't teach task work, but the obedience was a nice headstart, I taught Peanut his tasks after the fact). I liked Ashley inititally upon meeting her and I gave her a list of things I wanted her to mostly work out first that was the biggest priority for his training. She did amazing at teaching him his down stays and sit stays as well as heeling. Peanut went for this Board & Stay in January, 2017. But I also made a huge emphasis on how I wanted Peanut to be better socialized with people and animals in certain outdoor situations he'd be new to. I feel Ashley never really socialized him as much as I initially wanted her to but she did work him in public areas which was still good. When Peanut finally came back home his training showed flawlessly at the progress he had made. I was very excited to keep him on track, as I have. I'm not rich, but I paid the full price upfront because with the help from my community, friends and family, they donated ALL of the money needed to get Peanut his training knowing I was in need of training a dog to be my Service Dog for my medical needs. So not only was I holding my own expectations of the end result but the expectations of those who believed I chose the right place for my Peanut to go to for his adventure. Fast forward to current time. Peanut has improved 100% with his training that since Off Leash K9. He no longer is using the E-Collar to take direction and listens flawlessly other than needing refreshers on his off leash heeling. He is slightly reactive to men who try petting him but for the most part he is friendly to all now and still working it out since I had to grab help from an outside source to help me with this. He is now tasked train to help me deal with my disability since I spent many many hours training him to learn them. He is now doing Public Access and still working out some bugs. Off Leash K9 helped him as a stepping stone into the world of good obedience and dog manners. But I just felt some things were lacking for the price I paid. read more

We are so incredibly grateful that we found David with Off Leash K9 Training for our 9 month old German Shepherd/Husky puppy, Lilly. We originally tried training her ourselves to save money but she wasn't staying in her commands, she jumped up on us or on our sliding glass door constantly, she started chewing up our couch, books, base boards, in addition to the dozens of toys and various types of bones that we gave her. She is incredibly hyperactive, intelligent, but also super stubborn so that combination made it very difficult for us to train her properly. Due to being hyperactive, we would walk her everyday but hated every minute of it because she tugged so badly that she was pulling our arms out of our sockets and just didn't listen to us, especially if there were other distractions. We chose to do the popular 2 week Board and Train program due to our lifestyle and even though it isn't cheap by any means, it was so incredibly worth it. The cost was an investment in our dog that will last a lifetime and we have no regrets. We paid the cost up front, but they did mention that they have options for a payment plan. They also have other training options where you get to be the one to do all of the training. During the two weeks, David sent us videos and pictures of Lilly everyday showing us what he was teaching her and describing how she was doing. Then when we went to pick her up, he spent about two hours with us teaching us how to use the e-collar, then training us on how to train Lilly as well as walking us through the different commands. He made sure we left with no questions and that we felt comfortable with the e-collar. He also stated that if we ever have any questions, he is always available by text and if we need a refresher in the future, we can always contact him for that. After Lilly's training, we have not had any issues with chewing because we are now able to engage and stimulate her both mentally and physically which completely exhausts her. We have never seen her so tired after the training sessions we do with her! We can walk her now (and actually enjoy our time with her), both loose leash AND off leash and she actually listens to us!! She is a completely different dog from when we first dropped her off and we are absolutely blown away by how well she behaves now. We even took her to The Lazy Dog in Folsom and everyone was amazed at how well behaved she was compared to some of the other dogs there. I'm so ecstatic that I get to spend time with my dog and actually enjoy my time with her, instead of spending my time with her angry and frustrated. We are so glad that we went through with this training and I will always recommend it to all of my friends now! read more

We are coming up on our 3rd week home with our 8month old Doberman. She spent 2weeks with Melissa in the board and train program. Our pup was fearful, reactive on walks, had little manners, and hard to manage. She would bark incessantly in the car while we drove, lunged at people she didn't know, jumped on us, counter surf, and bark at EVERYTHING while in our backyard. While she was in training she was not able to achieve the off leash walking goals we had expected, however, we have such a well behaved little girl! As a over protective dog mom, I cried almost everyday bc I missed her while she was away, but Melissa was great at answering any of my questions and sent lots of photos and videos of her progress. We still have to work to maintain all of the work Melissa put in but my pup is so much more confident than before and more importantly so am I knowing that I have a clear line of communication with my dog. We have all the tools and training needed to keep her a well socialized confident girl. Through all the training she remained our happy, silly, full of life baby girl. Thank you so so much Melissa and Off Leash K9!! read more

I was in desperate need of a dog trainer, as my dog was very reactive to other dogs and pulled on the leash every time we took a walk. It got to the point where we were apprehensive in taking her anywhere. Especially places that allowed dogs because we couldn't "trust" her. Fast forward to then I found OLK9. I was apprehensive at first because of the use of an e-collar and although there were mixed reviews, I decided to go with it. I did the 4 private sessions with Josh in the Sacramento area. I again was doubtful because I thought, well how much can she learn in 4 hours. Upon meeting Josh, I could tell that he loved dogs and was passionate about training them. After speaking to Gunner, he was so confident in his training that if the private lessons didn't work, he would put the money I had already spent, towards the board and train. All in all, Josh did an outstanding job with not just training my dog, but training ME also. Josh was also quick to respond to my texts when I had questions about training my dog in between sessions. Now I can take my dog anywhere and not feel stressful. THANK YOU Josh!! read more

Adam is absolutely amazing! He's seriously the real-life dog whisperer! He's very passionate about what he does and caring about dogs. He's helped us with two dogs in our family and we've seen amazing results!

Adam, with Off Leash K9 is a miracle worker! It has been a week of Mochi being home and I can not begin to say how wonderful she is. She still has her personality. And walking her is a pleasure, she is not jumping on people trying to hug them and we can walk her with her older brother. Still working on the come, and giving the ball when playing fetch as well as not rushing to get in and out the house. When she does come she sits right away. Adam was very clear and helpful is getting ME trained to use the tool I know I am the hard part to train. She does have a ball obsession. but we are still working on it. With picutres and posts while she was with Adam I felt she was safe and loved. Adam is the BEST!! read more

Melissa did a great job training our one year old female. Prior to this training , she would lunge at traffic and people, but she has discontinued that behavior. I'm so proud of the great progress Sheba made. Sheba continues to grow in what she learned. I'm able to walk her now without the fear of her lunging at things, animals, or people while having her in a leash. I always have Sheba on a leash regardless so others do not feel uncomfortable. I also appreciated the daily text showing Sheba's progress in videos and pictures. Thank you Melissa. read more

Kody with off leash K9 training is AMAZING!!! We took our 5 month old Rottweiler Bonnie to training because she is such a scared breed, her dad and I wanted to make sure that she was properly trained on and off leash. I did alot of research and decided off leash was the right choice for our puppy. Kody was fantastic. I was super skeptical about leaving our girl for 2 weeks, but he was so on top of texting us pictures and videos every single day of all of her accomplishments! We just picked her up a few days ago and WOW the difference!!! She can do all of her commands + more!! It's such an amazing feeling being confident in your dog and your dog being confident in themselves. Kody allowed me to come out and train with her and that made me a confident owner of a big dog. It is WELL worth the money and if you have the option in Sacramento I HIGHLY recommend Kody! read more

I dropped off a fear-aggressive dog with poor impulse control. But he did know a lot of basic commands. I did the 3-week program, and it really helped him. He's more confident around unfamiliar dogs and people. When he wants to control a situation and default to fear-aggression, I can correct him and he trusts that I'll handle the situation. His heckles hardly go up, he's able to relax in public instead of being on guard the whole time. It's much easier to communicate with him, especially when there are distractions. He's 20lbs and sensitive to the e collar, and I don't need to use high levels of stimulation. When I put the prongs on my skin I can't feel the stimulation at his working/motivational level. It's a great tool. When we do trainings drills, he does most things with no stimulation now, he gets so excited to do the commands and get praise and he just looks so confident and happy and hoppy! Thanks again, OLK9!!! read more

My husband and I have contemplated sending our Weimaraner to Off Leash because of the cost since he is an old stubborn 8 year old dog.

We are in Reno and Rick was our puppies trainer. He was nothing short of amazing! He trained our timid and misbehaving puppy into a confident and obedient dog. We are so proud of our heeler, Taffy. She is so smart and learned to much, we barely recognize her as the same dog. Rick did a wonderful job communicating with us daily. He sent us pictures and video everyday. We are so glad we used Off Leash and especially Rick. Thank you for helping our dog grow into a wonderful family pet! read more

My dog Penny had already completed two different training courses but she still thought that coming when she was called was her choice. I had been using positive reinforcement and treats for everything, but was feeling powerless in a lot of circumstances where treats weren't working to control her. The e-collar training started to sound good, especially the way that Off-Leash uses it as a communication tool, not as punishment. I signed Penny up for the 4-class package, and we seriously felt that it was worth the cost after just the first lesson. Penny comes EVERY TIME now. We have a new way to communicate that makes us both more confident to go out and play and hike. Cady was our trainer and she is seriously THE BEST! She did the hard work of getting Penny used to the e-collar and showed me how to practice with her at home. I'm so happy with our experience and I feel so relieved to have this tool and language to talk with Penny. read more

We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to let our puppy spend three weeks for a board and train with Adena. She took such good care of our dog, made substantial progress with our dog's training, and most importantly, offered an incredibly loving and sweet home for our pet. She was highly communicative and generous, offering us bonus training opportunities without any prompting from us. read more

After two weeks of board and train, our now seven month old golden retriever puppy has come back a well trained and obedient boy. Our golden is a fairly mellow boy, but we lacked the skills to train him properly. My overall goal is to be able to take him everywhere on or off leash. Melissa was great! He learned skills both on and off leash (come, down, off/leave it, break, heel, place) and she made sure I had the necessary skills to continue his training. He is still a puppy and sometimes needs reminders, but he is much more enjoyable to walk and there is minimal stress, since he does not constantly chew or take things anymore, in the house. Melissa sent pictures and videos everyday, which helped us see the progress Odin was making and also helped so we didn't miss him so much. Since returning to us, if I have a question, Melissa is available by text/phone. This training was well worth the time and the money! Thank you Off Leash K-9 and Melissa :) read more
