The plan was to start 2 months from the time of the interview and we had to schedule all sessions and pay up front. We paid $500 and waited. From the beginning the trainer seemed afraid of our dog. She used a huge amount of treats every session- to the point our dog vomited the last session. A "behavior report" was sent with plans for the next week. These were cut and pasted, as evidenced by the fact that there was another dog's name on the report. We decided to cancel our remaining two sessions. We felt participating in three was enough. We cancelled with two weeks notice but we're denied a refund. Would absolutely not recommend working with this business.

Jeff helped us contextualize our dog's behavior and understand their psychology better, so we can more effectively curb behaviors we did not want and promote behaviors we do want. As a result, not only has out dog behaved better, but we feel a stronger connection with them. This, in my opinion, is the benefit with Jeff. We all see our dogs as our perfect companions, and when we go through with training we want the outside world to see them the same way we do. Jeff helped us with this; not only does he get you and your dog on the same page regarding training and behavior, but he allows you to springboard your relationship with them to a level of greater understanding.

Jeff really knows his stuff and his tips and tricks work really well. Highly recommend!read more

We hired Angel for behavior training of our dog, a 2 year old rescue that we adopted in March 2020…read more Soon after we adopted him, we realized that he had severe separation anxiety, dog reactivity and people reactivity. We were concerned about how best to care for our pup, especially as first-time dog owners. We can't say enough positive things about Angel. To begin with, she listened to each of our concerns (we had many) before we even hired her and shared her thoughts on how she would tackle the training. We were impressed that she truly took the time to listen and understand our questions, and we decided to hire her. Our first training session was over video chat due to the pandemic. We went over the allotted time because Angel was so thorough in discussing the training plan with us. We learned a lot about how to care for our dog in general (e.g. body language, assessing comfort level, when to seek support from vet for behavioral issues). The main takeaway from this training session were detailed, step-by-step methods for addressing several of our dog's behaviors. Angel's main focus was getting to the root of the behaviors, our dog's emotions, and making sure that he was confident and comfortable. All of the training was based on positive reinforcement. The second part of our training session was an outdoor in-person meeting (socially distant, masked) at a park with the purpose of learning how to desensitize our dog around other dogs. Unfortunately, when we arrived Angel realized that our dog's baseline anxiety level was still too high to successfully begin the desensitization training. We still completed that hour meeting to practice other training, and Angel offered to meet us for a second in-person meeting, free of charge, in a few weeks to try desensitization training again. The techniques that Angel has taught us have led to noticeable positive changes in our dog. We are continuing to utilize what she taught us and, overall, feel that we are better equipped to be good dog owners.

As two new dog owners, we learned so much about how to interact with our pup in order to avoid his triggers and reward good behaviors. No bites since we started working with her! Angel helped us with muzzle training so we could safely bring our little one to the vet and he would actually be able to receive an exam. He actually gets excited when he sees the muzzle because of Angel's expertise in training! It was clear Angel truly cared about our family and went above and beyond in taking time to make sure we had the tools we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Angel to any families who need support.

The owner, who also is a trainer, is just as wonderful. She will help you with your training and listen if you're having troubles with anything in particular. Honestly the best training for what you get and the prices available. I can't wait to get my dog into some of the other courses!

My new rescue went from anxiety ridden, scared of everything dog, to a confident girl. I was hesitant of using the collar at first, but it's not painful to the dogs, and they respond so well to it.

I needed more training than Cooper. ;) Diana is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, caring, and all around just great to work with! Highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training and now we are looking into So Fetch for future adventures! You will not be disappointed if you take your dog to Off Leash K9 Training for training.

But most importantly to us, our dog absolutely loved him, and we have never seen her as happy and proud as when she would receive praise from Frank. Well worth the money, especially for at-home training, and the private lessons provide a lot of personalization we wouldn't have gotten with group training! 10/10 would recommend.

While they may be a good fit for other breeds, I cannot stress enough that I would NOT recommend…read morefor German Shepherds or similar. We were originally referred to Killian's K9 Academy by our current group classes to assist with location based reactivity with our 11 month German Shepherd. We sent a large amount of information regarding the behavior, the household, and observations to Cherri before the meetup, however Rudy requested to meet our pup in his 'red zone'. During the meeting our dog was calm, however when Killians arrived they pulled up directly into the parking spot in front of where we were sitting, and proceeded to get out and hard stare at our pup. Anyone who has a shepherd will know this is a behavior that this breed does NOT do well with. He began to bark, and rather than allow us to give the command to stand down, we were told to let him continue, as Rudy continued to remain silent and hard stare at our dog. Once his barking began to calm, which if given time he will settle, we were told right away to take him inside because he didn't want to "stress him further". He then proceeded to inform us of how our pup supposedly was, without asking ANY questions, and most of this contradicted what we shared with Cherri in our email. He was extremely condescending, and tried to state he had been training for 40 years, although was not aware of what the leash type we use it, this tells me that while he may of been training this long, he has not kept up to date with advancements, especially given his claim that dogs have no memory. We were then informed by him that he would be sending a report to our current trainer, and that we were not allowed to go back until our dog was deemed 'safe' (Keep in mind our dog had been regularly attending these classes without issue). After this he proceeded to paint several scenarios telling my wife how dangerous our dog was at home to our children, and describe graphic wounds he had seen dogs inflict, all while insisting the dog has no structure, no rules, and always on guard - from about a 1 minute observation in his red zone after being triggered. We were then also informed that it was "His way only" when it came to training, and recommended a course of training that had we been less informed, would of actually caused the very same issues he was there to fix. Had we not been more experienced, his fearmongering sales tactics would of caused a potential rehome, or Behavioral Euth given it was aimed at causing us to fear our dog and seek his help as a result. I would also like to point out that as he found out that we are not new dog owners and are fairly experienced, his entire tone changed and even contradicted his earlier observations. We paid them for the consultation, and afterwards contacted our current trainers who have since removed them from their recommendation list. I would also like to point out shortly after this I took our pup up to Sheetz as part of his ongoing socialization, and people passed by without any issue - The supposedly never relaxing dog even initiated play while there. I would also add that while in the house he routinely lounges, and shows signs of a very relaxed, very well mannered pet that listens to commands - The complete opposite of how Rudy tried to claim to our faces our dog was after a 1 minute observation. They may not be as expensive, but spend the money to go elsewhere as his methods are the old school 'break the dog then remake it' type that does not work on all breeds and seems to have a very inflexible one size fits all approach.
