Alicia did a phenomenal job training Aneira Skye, my six month old Frenchton. I opted for the two week program to enforce the commands, as she could be stubborn. Aneira came home a changed pup with manners and responding to me. Well worth the investment. Thank you for making my girl more enjoyable. read more

Do not use this company if you want a trained dog without a E collar. Unfortunately, I paid before I realized they use an E collar to train their dogs. My dog happens to be a rescue and we had tried the E collar with him, which did not work. I explained to my trainer ahead of time and kindly asked for them to use food since he had positive training with this method. She seemed to be on board with this method. It wasn't until the day before picking up my dog that she sent the E collar instructions over. I was livid. Some dogs do fine with being shocked, but my dog was traumatized. I was more frustrated with the fact that we had the conversation beforehand and she seemed to be on board. Had I known I would have completely avoided the E collar training with this company. They don't know how to train dogs without an E collar. read more

I found out about Off Leash K9 while sitting in the emergency vets office, googling trainers after my 5 month old lab/ shepherd puppy broke out of her crate and ate a bottle of medication. I read some reviews and decided to give them a call. From the first conversation, they gave me hope! A few weeks later I got a call from Ashley that she would be our puppy Saylor's trainer. We talked for over 20 minutes and went over every single concern that I had. Ashley talked about her K9 law enforcement background and I instantly knew she would change our lives. I knew she had what it would take to get our wild girl under control. From the minute we dropped our dog off until we picked her up, there was constant communication. Ashley taught our puppy Saylor so much in just two weeks. Every update she provided was a shock to us. She talked about Saylors triggers and what they worked on that day and how our girl was amazing. Included every day was a picture and most days a video. Ashley took her on field trips to different stores where they practiced her skills. We watched her transform into a well behaved, obedient, and confident dog. When it came time for me to pick Saylor up, Ashley spent hours going over every command with me and using the e collar. She made sure I was comfortable with everything before we left and reminded me multiple times that she was always here to help. We could call or text her with any questions. I have since communicated with Ashley on a somewhat regular basis. I send her pictures and videos and ask questions. We have continued working with Saylor and most recently she started taking commands from my 3 year old daughter. I can't thank Ashley and Off Leash K9 enough for what they did with Saylor. We are so proud of our girl! read more

When I first adopted my oldest puppy, Kona (pit bull) I was so frustrated and annoyed with her. I knew basic commands but didn't know how to communicate properly with her so our relationship suffered. I found K9 training and life has never been the same! Kona is well behaved, polite and is off leash at this point. So, when I adopted Java (7 month pit bull), my second dog, I knew exactly where she was going! Jimmy was her board and trainer for one week. Jimmy is knowledgable, amazing at teaching me how to handle the dogs, and gives me great advice when I have a problem. During Java's stay I received updates every day with videos and pictures of her growth along the way. Jimmy is the best trainer and communicator. He has helped Java become more confident and obedient in just a short time. She just came back and Java is like a different dog. Matt, the owner, and Jimmy have worked with me and my dogs to help the communication between us be stronger. I can not say thank you enough to Jimmy for changing my disobedient, shy pup, into a confident and outgoing pup that has manners and is eager to please. Please sign your dog/pup up with K9 Training! Every dog needs training for so many reasons, and every owner deserves a peace of mind that their dog will be well behaved. This place is AMAZING! read more

Off Leash K9 Training - In 'place' command. Look at that confident girl! - Pet Training Near Me

Dagsboro Delaware--My son adopted a dog from the DHA. He was in need of getting the dog into training quickly as she was a big jumper and biter (a very energetic puppy biter but nonetheless biting). I called this business and explained clearly that training was needed ASAP. I was advised that there was a 2 week waiting period but the person on the phone indicated there was a possibility of getting started that Saturday. He signed up with the hope that Saturday would work out. It did not. In actuality when he tried to sign up for a training session after the Saturday time fell through, it was actually a 4 week wait. He asked to be refunded his registration fee of $625 because he found another trainer that was able to start immediately. He was advised that he would be refunded all except $25 for a "service fee". He was never advised of this fee nor did he see anything on the website about it either. He was registered with this company for exactly half a day before he had another trainer lined up. It cost him $25 for absolutely nothing. Do not recommend due to the bogus "service fee". Jeanne L read more

If I could give 100 stars, I would! The experience is nothing short of AMAZING .... I've had dogs all my life, and never had a situation like this. I rescued Bubby, a ~10 month old lab mix, in mid-September 2019. When I got him home, his issues started almost immediately. He would be lovable on minute, and completely out of control / aggressive, the next. He'd slam into the walls, jump on me, jump on his cousin dog, snap at his cousin dog, like a mean snapping turtle. It was a nightmare trying to get him into his crate, once he was in the barking didn't stop. He would tear up everything from shoes, to remotes, to pillows and toys, if he wasn't being watched every second. He had this weird thing when we would go potty, where he would start to attack me. Jumping and biting me, to the point that I was getting scared to walk him. It was outrageous, and I was at my wit's end. I was starting to feel like I wasn't going to be able to keep him (my worst nightmare). I tried other things like behavioral meds and running him several miles. Nothing worked. I came across K9 Off Leash Wilmington online, and read their reviews. It was a financial investment, but from the moment I inquired, the team was very attentive. Rachel, Matt and Jimmy were incredibly responsive, leading up to our 2 week Board and Train. The team and I spoke at lengths about Bubby's crazy antics, and they still felt confident, they could help! I dropped Bubby off to Jimmy (who's FANTASTIC) on 10/20. Multiple times a day, I received videos, pictures and messages of Bubby's progress for the two weeks he was gone! Bubby is home now, and is a completely different dog. My friends, colleagues and family can't believe his transformation! I will continue to work with Bubby everyday, to ensure the structure that Jimmy provided, at Off Leash, continues....And - I always know that Jimmy and the team will be there for me and Bubby, if anything comes up in the future! read more
