BEST INVESTMENT you'll choose for your Dog-Mandy is AMAZING! I have worked with my dog from the moment I brought her home at 8 weeks old. She came from a well tempered background and has had positive experiences and multiple training sessions, she was doing great on commands but needed tweaking and was missing confidence that had a fear attachment I could not change on my own. I reached out to OFF Leash/Nova and after reading lots of reviews, I thought Mandy was a perfect fit for her. I was nervous about enrolling in a board and train. The moment we met Mandy, I knew she was the perfect match! Her knowledge and demeanor on dog training and especially when it came to my breed was remarkable. We couldn't be any more happier with the results of her board and train experience!! Mandy checked in with videos, messages every night! I was so relaxed after the second day! We now have a completely different dog! She's calm, confident and so easy to walk and enjoy out and about! Don't look any further and choose Mandy! Her passion in helping dogs and training us humans to have a better life with them is impeccable! Mandy also has checked in with us multiple times even after we completed her board and train! Truly the best money you will spend on your fur baby! Thank you Mandy!! read more

I would not recommend this company. I sent my dog there for two weeks and she did not learn commands. Now I need to still have her trained because she's not following commands so I would think about another company before going to this one. read more

Too much reliance on the e-collar before my dog was ready for it. Tucker had no idea what the verbal commands meant. Trainer spent 8 weeks on same commands...none to very little progress. I got better results on my own at home without an e-collar. Even after talking with the trainer about my concerns, it was ignored. Huge expense for little return! read more

Off Leas training is AMAZING. Our family has had 4 dogs go through the training. All our trainers have been nothing but attentive to our needs as owners and patient and loving to our pets. We received videos and pictures durning the who 2 week process. They took our babies into their home and gave them just the right amount of structure combined with love to enable them to be the best version of themselves. After the dogs were trained the trainer trained us on how to ensure the two weeks "stuck". Because of off leash training I can take my dog anywhere and feel confident that she will be well behaved and socially accepted. All the trainers we worked with were GREAT - A special shout out to Michelle our most recent trainer. Maggie is an amazing addition to our family because you gave her the tools to be a good listener! read more

Off Leash K9 Training - Run Free thanks to Off Leash Training - Pet Training Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I paid for the service beginning of February with no follow up hence no service. I have requested a refund which they said they would do and also offer a free training for all my issues I had. Again no communication and at this point I would not trust them with my dog. I just want a refund which has not happened yet still waiting after two weeks. I would not recommend at all! read more

I heard good things about OLK9, but our experience was nothing short of bizarre, and resulted in a full refund. Had a reservation for 2 week board and train with Ian Galliano while we went out of town. Within 2 minutes of meeting him meeting my dog, a 12 lbs mini aussie, Ian tried to reject her from the program because she freaked out on the choke collar. I was able to advocate for my dog and she calmed down within minutes. Ian then questioned me on her behavior in new or crowded locations, as if he was attempting to again reject her, even though that was precisely the reason we were bringing her to him. She apparently passed his test and he said he'd give it a shot for a couple days. He seemed hesitant, but my dog was heeling perfectly with him as a I pulled away. 20 minutes later he called me and told me he was rejecting her and I needed to come pick her up immediately. Apparently he put her in a kennel to transport her to another location a couple hours away (which I didn't know about in advance of dropping her off, but whatever) and then immediately tried to pull her out of the kennel when my dog backed to the rear of the kennel and got defensive. He did this all within 30 minutes of meeting her and didn't give her any time to get accustomed to him or the kennel before trying to pull her out. I returned to the location, called my very scared dog out of the kennel, and we went home. Ian told his boss that my dog wouldn't even come out of the kennel for me (untrue) and so he couldn't be expected to work with her. They offered to apply my payment ($3,000) to day training (no boarding) but to be honest, we were attracted to OLK9 because of the board and train option and there are many options in the area for training. They processed the full refund the next day. If you can get your dog into OLK9- great, but be aware they may try to reject your dog for bizarre reasons, so if you are planning the program around you being out of town, have a backup for your dog's care. Like I said, considering their reputation in the area we were shocked at the bizarre treatment. If they didn't leave us scrambling to find last minute boarding for our dog we would have laughed at the situation and Ian's behavior, but in reality they just created a stressful situation. read more

My wife and our GSD worked with Matt and he was AWESOME. Unfortunately, he is no longer with them and they no longer have a facility in Winchester. I was put in contact with their Front Royal trainer Jessica who wanted to give my consult with my reactive GSD in a public park. When I expressed my concerns to her, she passed me on to Tank. Tank summarily turned my dog and me down as clients this morning with barely any discussion of my dog whatsoever. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. A service provider should be able to address customer concerns without getting frustrated and backing out, especially when it concerns my best friend! read more

I have not used them, but there was a van with their information on the side sitting in the Sterling Wegmans parking lot for considerably long time the gentleman open the back of the van. There was two crates with dogs in it, and they were profusely crying not a typical cry, I have six dogs on my own so I know whining because you have to go to the bathroom or whatever but these dogs were crying crying slammed the back door down and got in the car and continue to sit in the parking lot as well as smoking a vap in the car windows up with the dogs. If I would be paying someone to train my dog. That's definitely not training sitting in a crate in a car. I know there's many locations but the phone number on the side of the van was 571-252-5536. read more

I have a serious issue with OLK9 in Fredericksburg, VA and no one at this location or corporate will respond to me. I adopted a dog (Merle) from the Stafford County Animal Shelter mid February 2023. Merle is a 75 pound Great Dane/Pit mix. He would lose his mind when he saw other dogs by lunging, barking, whining, pulling, etc. There were a few times that it was so bad he actually took me down and dragged me. He did this a few times with my wife as well. We could not take him for a walk during the day because of this. He also did this when children were outside playing. He was on constant patrol in the house barking at everything that went by the house and it took him several minutes to stop. He would run back and forth from the front room windows to the living room windows. I reached out to the local OLK9 and spoke with their sales person, Cari I believe because on the paperwork it stated that Merle was trained via OLK9 in the B&B program with a trainer named Marla. I informed her of this information to include the previous training and all she told me was I needed to pay $975 for 8 weeks of dog aggression training. She did not acknowledge that he was previously trained by OLK9 or even took the time to look up his record. I paid the amount because I desperately needed help. I have two other dogs that this is affecting as well. I have trained many dogs, but he is by far the most difficult. I set up the first session for March 5th, 2023, but could not schedule anything again until April 5th, 2023 and then again late May 2023. This was not going to work. Sessions this spread apart are not productive so I reached out to Cari again. She told me that I just need to keep watching the calendar for openings. Why would a company take on new clients if it could not provide the necessary appointments in a timely manner? At that rate it would take 8 months to train. He went to his first session and the trainer went over the "basics" to which Merle had mastered. We told him about his previous training and he ignored it as well. It was a total waste of time. I tried a few more times over the course of 1-2 weeks but could not get anything sooner. I reached out but no one would respond. I sent an email on to corporate stating that I wanted to talk to someone or wanted my money back. Someone (I cannot recall his name) finally called me back only because I wanted my money back. We spoke for a few minutes and he set me up with a trainer named Austin. Austin was amazing. He was responsive, nice, good at training, etc. We set up the first session which was the same as the first and talked about the remaining sessions. I attempted to schedule the remaining sessions with Booksy but I could not. Austin had to schedule each one so we had to communicate times and places the old fashion way. Austin is the only reason I can even say anything positive about this company. During the course of the remaining sessions my family and I worked with Merle consistently between each session. Merle did great without distractions, but as soon as he got outside it was all lost. My son reached out to the previous owner for puppy pictures and to ask about Merle's behavior. This is when we were told about B&B. There is a lifetime guarantee with this program, but yet here I am paying another $975 to train him. I reached out to Joe at Offleash in Fredericksburg about this and asking what options I have. This was on April 26th and I am still waiting for a response. There was no before and after video. No check ins with the owner. Nothing. It is one of the worst experiences have had with a company and to add insult to injury, I still have a dog that is near impossible to walk and barks at absolutely everything all times of day and night. His neck major burn lesions from using the collar and I was told it is pressure sores. He is missing hair and has significant scabs in the places where the two leads would sit. And yes, we would move it every 2-3 hours to prevent pressure point sores. Approximately $4,000 was spent to train this dog and I still cannot bring him outside or even walk him when people are out there. I have bruises all over my legs from the leash because he wraps himself around me trying to get other dogs and people. I cannot open windows because he will jump through them to get to the dogs. I have 8 foot doors that he will charge when he hears something and then proceed to jump at it. His head goes past the 8 foot mark almost touching the 9 foot ceiling. Yesterday he actually lunged and snarled at my neighbor. He is a huge safety risk at this point and I partly blame Offleash for taking the previous owner's money and also mine without any progress or communication. At this point I want a full refund so that I can hire a training company that will actually help me and not just take my money. read more

Off Leash Training in Nova is amazing. We had Morgan and Ian as our trainers. They were so knowledgeable about dog training and helped us train our 16 month Great Dane. after 5 classes, my 12 year old son (half the weight of the Great Dane) can take him on a walk and not worrying about pulling him all over the place. we highly recommend going to Off Leash Nova and getting Morgan and Ian as your trainers. you wont be disappointed. read more

Danny was easy to work with. He was very understandable of the behavioral issues we were having with our dog. He was also very honest as to how this training would work and what areas may be more of a challenge. We are happy with our results. Our dogs behaviors have improved drastically and we have the hope we didn't have before. We definitely recommend OLK9 training for anyone looking into having their dog properly trained. read more

Basic training was exactly what my pup and I needed. My trainer Dean ensured my pup had the right collar and answered all my questions. Lessons were simple and easy to replicate when on my own with my big pup.

Off Leash K9 Training - Puppy - Pet Training Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

We have had 5 dogs raised and trained them but this 6th one a puppy was full off energy like the others but far more stubborn then we have experienced. So much at 6 months she became hypersensitive to wheels, kids running and jumping on the trampoline you know that dog. She had hurt a neighbor kid when we were out of town during her spazing moments to get the kids. That was when I called OffLeash. She was there 1 week and hurt her elbow and came home to heal for 2wk and was a different dog! Just from that time. I was amazed. She still had time to finish and returned to complete and graduate. She does get anxious when the kids run but she will sit and watch now. She is scared of new places and dogs! Now before I go into a new place I get her focused and I'm in control she is fine. I do not allow interactions with people until I have can tell she is comfortable then I let her choose what she wants to smell or who she wants to pet her. She is not 1yr till April 2023 we went to rite aid as my goal is working to be a therapy dog. She was focused stayed in formation which she has a hard time when walking but in the store she was close and on que with her auto sit when I stop. Another new place was visiting the army Base to see our son she hasn't seen in 2 months. Again perfect. She only became scared when a group of 50 came by at the same time and a few tries to pet her. My dogs are my family I have 4 kids but my dogs are still my kids. I do not like shock collars but the newer ecollars are not those its like the tense unit used for physical therpy. I love my puppy my kids love our puppy and kids feel safe to run again. It was a investment but when I was the one left to train her and clean up after her anxious moments of distruction it was worth every penny. Our dog is happier too. I'm in no way affiliated with offleash I happened to Google aggressive dog training. Amanda was amazing and kept in touch and still does. read more

Highly unprofessional. Sterling Location. In our first training session before it even started the trainer, Chrissy was extremely rude & unprofessional. She was throwing a fit on scheduling, since she was far away from the location. She was extremely upset because "I can't do every week". We didn't ask or schedule every week. She told me to schedule by checking the site every day. I told her I was too busy to do that. She said well how are you going to have time for your dog. That is when we left before even having one session and I asked for a full refund. They should be more upfront about their availability and not attack a paying customer because their schedules are poorly managed read more

Let's just be honest, it isn't the dog that needs trained it's US! So my husband and I adopted an 11 week old bully mixed puppy and named him Raymond "Red" Reddington. Long story short...Red is a handful and we needed help..I mean trained. This sweet cutie pie was running all over us. So we did some research and decided on Off Leash for some much needed training. We have been working with Danny since August and oh what a difference training makes. I am no longer using full sentences to communicate what I want Red to do. Danny has educated us on dog behavior and has pointed out specific tells about our baby. We now have a better understanding of our dog and how to deal with him. We are doing 75% better with our training thanks to Danny at Off Leash. Check them, but be patient they stay booked! Take the first appointment you can to get started. read more

The best decision that we could have made with training our dog. It's well worth it!! The dog is better in every aspect because of the training. We enjoy our girl so much more!! Dont wait, do it!! read more

I wish I'd been more open minded about e-collars! I wasn't. In hindsight, the stress of that first year with my exuberant, barking, bouncing, untrained young rescue could have been avoided. I had still managed to lay a training foundation but my dog and I just weren't making the progress I thought was possible. When I finally found OLK in Woodbridge, Va. and made the investment, it was a complete game changer. In 3 sessions, my worst behaved dog was on his way to being my best behaved dog. It's pure joy for both of us that he can be safe and responsive off-leash even with other dogs and deer, that he comes when called, heels running with me in the woods and can now go hiking in the mountains. Thank you, Jake and Carrie! I am an OLK fan. read more

Excellent program, I highly recommend. I did the basic obedience package. I was hesitant at first. I did not want to set $600 on fire for dog training, but two of my sisters had used off leash with glowing reviews. So I brought in my 1 year old lab mainly because she would not come when called, and embarrassed me with my family's other dogs over Xmas. Scheduling takes a while cause the place is busy. But the training was great. They teach the dog a command first and then u have to practice on your own at home. I did 3 weeks between lessons for the first 3. Then a six month gap for the last one. She was so good at that point I forgot I still had another lesson. Make no mistake though, there is effort required on your part to complete the training. It's not an automatic fix. I can't speak to the board and train but I imagine it's similar. The owner has to do their part too. I may sign up for some advanced lessons as well. Overall I have high praise for all trainers. My lab is a family dog now that behaves appropriately. Ben S read more

We had the great pleasure to work with Carrie and get our pup properly trained. She was the best dog trainer I have ever experienced. We got daily pictures, videos, and updated. The follow up procedure was amazing explain to methods used and how to properly maintain the learned behaviors. The first day back, I took Koda for a 1 mile off leash walk and he stayed in heal position. I highly recommend Offleash K9 and Carrie. read more

I took 2 doodle pups to Danny (8/10 months). They pulled, jumped, barked and while cute - they ruled the house. After the 2 week program I have the sweetest dogs ever and they are so well behaved. No joke. If you want to check them out their video is on the Facebook page - pickles and pepper read more

She trained our very spunky 1 year old Goldenoodle to be such an easier puppy to love. I have also been very happy with how I've been able to reach out to her and get tips and tricks with anything that I've wanted to "fix" with our puppy. We recently left town for a bit and she was kind enough to watch her for us while we were gone. We were definitely relieved by this so that we knew the training wouldn't go out the door if we took her to a random place. And she definitely was well loved while we were gone. read more

1. I never was given the before and after video. 2. I was told to give "glowing review" so then we could take Moose home, to which we then found out he was worse. You don't know until you take them home. 3. Your "refresher class" won't undo the behaviors your negligence taught him, like pooping on sidewalks or being resource aggressive. Your class will teach him how to do the basic commands. Not how to get rid of faulty teaching on your part. 4. Joe Z. "The business manager" was nothing but rude to me, and even cussed on the phone when I said I was not happy. Not to mention the first time I called him he said he would call me back within the week and it was months later that I had to call off leash K9 to see why he disappeared. Professional read more

Wish I could give a good review but we never signed up because the time it took to get an informed response was painful. Either I spoke to an answering service or I never heard back from Carrie. I was initially assigned to a trainer, but she couldn't give me his background and he wasn't listed on the website. The company was showing me how they run their business, and we signed with another board/train company in the area who actually answered every question we had, stayed engaged, and didnt simply send me an invoice before I was fully informed. read more

Danny was great and did a great job with my T'Challa during his 2 week board and train. T'Challa has always had a great temperament but because of his size I really wanted him to be more responsive to commands and be better behaved with distractions. We've kept up his at home training and he continues to do really well. I'm really pleased with his training and hope to do some advanced training in the future. read more

OLK9 really changed my dogs behavior. We had tried 3 other training classes before and while she learned the commands actually listening and following directions seemed to be optional in her mind. She is a Cane Corso, so she is fairly large. She would jump to greet guests, chased our cats to point of knocking over furniture and the only one who could take her on walks was my husband because he was strong enough to not be pulled down the street and could control her when she attempted to jump on the passersby. We did a two week board and train and she is a completely new dog. She doesn't jump on guests. She still loves the cats but all we have to say is "off" and she stays away. The beat part is that she is a perfect heeler. Anyone can take her on a walk now and she is my running partner in the morning. I'm no longer afraid to take her out by myself. The only reason we are giving a 4 instead of a 5 is because if the lack of communication during the board and train. We were told we would receive daily updates with pictures and videos. We only received one picture and only after inquiring about her progress about a week into the board and train. read more

Can't say enough about what Off Leash has done for me, my dog and our life together. Taken something that just wasn't working and made it right. Better than right. I can enjoy my dog in the world away from his controlled environment at home. he can go anywhere now and we are both at ease. Becky was gentle, kind and patient to my crazy spirited puppy. Treated him as if he was hers, when he boarded with her. She even sent pictures of him as an honored house guest the whole entire time. Thank you Off Leash K-9 Beyond grateful read more

Very disorganized and unresponsive. I booked a 2 week board and train and the trainer overbooked and was unable to honor the dates we had originally agreed to. I had also informed them of my puppy's mE condition prior to booking and they said it would not be an issue and they would be able to accommodate. Then they changed their minds and informed me they WON'T be able to accommodate, and blamed me for changing the dates, when it was their fault. The trainer never responded to emails and the organizer left me hanging for days and I was unable to plan ahead as I was considering other trainers in the area who were booking up fast. It seems they don't communicate but they're extremely quick to take your money. Stay Away! read more

BUYER BEWARE! We purchased basic training and a certificate for our 2 dogs to be therapy certified. After several conversations with Carrie at headquarters that the therapy certificate was critical for us signing on and were told yes that was part of the package. We picked up the dogs 2 weeks later and were told the dogs were not eligible to be therapy certified because they were too timid and shy. Never once did they ask to evaluate our dogs prior to accepting them. Never once did they state reasons why the dogs may not get the certificate ahead of time. After several requests to discuss the situation, Off Leash did not respond. After contacting the Better Business Bureau, Off Leash did not respond to them either. I disputed the payment with AmEx and AmEx credited my account as I did not receive the services promised. read more

Great program. I was hesitant at first, but friends swore by them. I chose the basic obedience program for my 5-year-old lab mix rescue. She is a good, smart girl, but lacked the off-leash discipline we wanted to be able to keep her safe when we go hiking, etc. Danny was great; super attuned to our dog's disposition and reactions, quick-paced, funny, and gave great detail in his instruction to us humans. :) The only challenge was scheduling, as he is very busy, but there is a reason for that - He's good! Definitely check these guys out. read more

Highly recommend! I started with in home lessons and was so impressed with how far my Great Dane puppy progressed in two short lessons that I upgraded to the Board and Train. The trainer (Tank) was easy to work with and treated my dog kindly. She came back a totally different dog and I now have 100% confidence and control with her off leash in any situation. A year later and she continues to be a well trained dog. read more

Just brought Mika, our almost 3 year old Siberian Husky home from the 2 week boarding training at the Woodbridge, VA facility. Trainer name: Mountain. (FANTASTIC human being :D) If you know nothing about husky personalities, know this: THEY THINK FOR THEMSELVES. And if they don't like something, they'll backtalk you up one side and down the other and play the super cute "look at me" card so they don't have to do what they're told. This WAS the definition of Mika. Of course, we literally got DAILY videos of her progress, and 7 days in, there's no leash use at all. They took her to Fredericksburg, had her sit in front of the local Target as people went in and out, and had her train in a Home Depot. It was all amazing. I was more blown away by the turnover phase. We started inside with the typical commands, and boy did she not like 'mom and dad' making her do all these tasks. She was SUPER vocal. She hid in my chest, she threw a fit at her daddys' feet. We were determined. Just kept repeating the commands and she gave in. She knew she couldn't come back home and act the same. Once we went outside, her 'heel' was phenomenal. After we dropped the 20' leash, she stayed RIGHT by our leg. I ran by as she was in her heel command with her daddy and she looked at me, and with one correction, she didn't try to follow me again!!! We took her to the local dog park at home to practice her commands... maybe she was tired, but she didn't sass back, she didn't run off, and it didn't take many repetitions to get her to obey commands!!! They have a circle of rocks and we were able to place her from one to the next to the next! She did ups and downs from a distance. She listened to my 'come' and his 'come' and even walked in and out of the park from the car without her leash being held. There's going to be a lot of follow through training so she doesn't revert; we basically get trained too, but so far, in these last 12 hours, she's been the most well behaved in her LIFE. We're dedicating at least 1 hour a day to solid training with her at different outdoor venues, as she will be our best geo-dog sidekick for geocaching ventures! She is constantly rewarded with loving rubs and playfulness and a treat or two for a job well done. SEND YOUR PUP TO OFF LEASH K9 TRAINING. Do yourself that favor. I'm not even joking. The amount of friends I have that have watched her progress as I uploaded our daily videos to Facebook are impressed. They're telling their friends and family and quite a few have signed up their pups already! I can't begin to praise them enough for their dedication and speedy behavioral modification with Mika. Guaranteed recall while out with her gives us a piece of mind that nothing else could. Sure, you could spend the cost of training on other things, but what's more irreplaceable than your best friend? Invest in his/her safety. read more

It was a great experience from start to finish. They took great care of our baby. There was a lot of communication through videos and text, during the entire two week program. The drop off at the end was very informative and taught us how to handle him and continue his training. Thank you Jourdan, Brandon and the entire team! read more

Off Leash K9 has helped me tame my wild 18-month old hound mix. She used to jump on everyone (and everything)that she saw. When we had people come to the house it was pure chaos. She couldn't go for walks without pulling and choking the whole time. She loves everyone and wants to say hello to every human and dog we pass. We signed up for the 8-week beginner/advanced training and she now walks around the neighborhood with slack on the leash, or even no leash at all! She never jumps up on anyone or anything anymore. She still is super excited to see people she knows, but can contain herself when they come over. She allows people to enter the house without 'attacking' them with love and assuming they have only come over to see her. I'd give the highest rating to off-Leash K9 when it comes to the trainers, the facility, the actual training procedures and the success rate. read more

I have a 3 year old chocolate lab, River. Although she was well trained as a puppy, she became a stubborn and sassy lady. She would pick and choose which commands she would actually follow. It became frustrating and a concern for her safety on our many trail hikes and city walks. I sought the professional assistance from Off Leash K9 Training. Since working with Danny and Carrie, River has improved significantly. She responds to commands and walks off leash with me without any issues. The trainers teach you how to pair the commands with the remote so you can continue practicing the training at home between weekly sessions. I recommend their training services to any dog owner who wants to train or enhance previous training as I have! read more

We took our 6 1/2 year old adopted dog to Off Leash K9 to get him under control. Danny, our trainer, was professional, had all the tools we needed and made the lessons fun, for us, and the dog, too. Using Danny's training methods at home, we could see definite improvement in our dogs behavior. Though our formal lessons ended, we continue to use the techniques Danny taught us to re-enforce the desired behavior in our dog. The behavior of our 6 1/2 year old adopted dog has certainly turned around and continues to improve. All this goes to show you CAN teach an old dog new tricks...if you have the right teacher, with the right methods. read more

We took our 6 month old English Springer Spaniel to Off Leash K9 2 week board and train. He spent the 2 weeks living with our trainer Tess and her family as a member of the family. It made me feel so much better about us being away from him because she was instantly so loving and kind with him. He fell in love with his 2 "foster sisters" (Tess's dogs) and we got really nice videos and pictures every day with his progress. Now we can take Rudy anywhere we want and know that he will behave. It has been so much fun seeing all the things he can do now and he is so much calmer. I would recommend this to anyone that is considering it. read more

So I went to go check out their Woodbridge dog training facility because I was interested in saving up money to send my 5 month old Shiloh Shepherd Tabitha to. Very well reveiwed, highly recommended. I get there, its pretty hard to find, but I talk with a nice young woman and tell her I'm interested in basic and advanced training, possibly some help with task training as Tabitha is going to be a service dog trained for psychiatric and mobility tasks. And then. The woman smiles and proceeds to ask me if I know about dogs having to be at least one year old and licenced and certified-- I give a confused look before going, "Um, no? Therapy dogs yes, not service dogs??" That is not how the ADA works, any simple google search will tell you. She gets this really patronizing look on her face and got all "look sweaty", and reiterated and I just turned rolled my eyes, took the given pamphlet and left. I'm dissapointed. I would have hoped for better knowledge and service dog law understanding from a company that offers classes for both therapy and "service" dogs. I still might go for basic and advanced manners, but I'll find somewhere more knowledgeable for real task training. Thanks for nothing Off-Leash K9. read more

Morgan Lampe is the BEST! We did the two week board and train and literally have a "new" dog. Our dog is now so well behaved, listens to commands, and no longer shows naughty behaviors like counter surfing, picking up our baby's toys, pulling on her leash, or jumping on people. Our dog just seems so much more relaxed and happier-It has been so wonderful for our family! We can't thank Morgan enough! Also, it's obvious how much she truly cares about dogs and treated our dog as her own, our dog simply adored her as well. read more

4 stars rounding up from 3.6ish or so My dog completed the board and stay in April 2017. He loved his trainer. He is still able to do all the commands off leash with most distractions except for cars and bikes. He recently completed basic agility off leash. We live in a rural area and he does the majority of his walks off leash as well. We're working towards his canine good citizen certificate. We stopped using the e-collar in June. He didn't want to wear it. No I wasn't misusing it or shocking the crap out of him. He's a sensitive dog. I do plan on having him do some type of work (e.g., herding, agility, etc.) and depending on that I may re-introduce the collar to him at some point. The training seemed to work because he is still able to do everything without the collar, but I think part of it is he's a very smart dog. I found the location and drop off times to be very inconvenient. I had to take time off work for both days. I also found the training to be very cookie-cutter (i.e., it's about training the dog to a standard versus working with the dogs potential). I get this would make it difficult to guarantee a dog can do certain commands, but I think it would help with increasing success rates with the collar. If I had to do it over again, I would do something where I'm involved in the training and I would also choose something closer to my house. read more

We rescued a Beagle-PittBull-BlueTick Hound Mix, a stubborn and strong dog. We tried in-class training at a local Pet Store, that did not help. We opted for the 2 week stay & train with Off-Leash. Now, we could not be happier with Patch! read more
