Question on Google
Nevermind I found my answer, also will the dog need to wear the e-collar everywhere she goes after the 2 weeks or will it no longer be necessary

The e-collar will need to be worn into the future if you have your dog off-leash. The dog can be trained to respond via the collar even if out of sight, it also has a great strobe light on it that helps keep track of your dog in the dark and allows the dog to be safely off-leash, as you van communicate via the collar remote if the dog doesn't respond immediately to your verbal command. Sometimes the dog just needs a little tap on the neck via the collar when distracted, etc.

"From the 1st day to the last, it was an amazing experience. Morgan was an amazing trainer. She provided constant feedback on my puppies progress and set me up for success after training was complete. Thank you OLK9. Great experience!"

Off Leash training is AMAZING! I am a foster Mom for Crisis Dogs NC and had fostered a very hyperactive Catahoula (Louisiana Cur) Dog named Remy Blue. We took him to Off Leash in hopes it would help get him adopted. The training he and I both went through helped us tremendously. I know a lot of people are skeptical of using a training collar. They DO NOT use a shock collar , in fact it’s a vibration collar that does not cause any harm to the dog. I even tried it myself and it’s harmless. He is still hyper but now I can control him with a simple command (without the collar). I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OFF LEASH K9 TRAINING, especially for those hard to train Dogs. Remy did find his furever home, with me and my family. He even has his own Boy and best friend.

Very rude owner named Alisha called. Spoke to us like we are idiots. Basically just said our dogs don’t get enough stimulation. Never asked us our routines or anything. We just explained what training we need (greeting manors). Assuming people are bad pet owners and just don’t give the dogs attention is disgusting. I take the dogs to the park every morning and long mountain bike rides 4 times a week. Alisha attitude towards my wife was we just don’t take care of them and provide enough attention. We have 3 children that play with them all day on top of the walks and bike rides we give them. Treat people with respect and that will go a long way. I own 9 businesses and customer service is very important for me. I will make sure this message is spread.

AVOID THE HOUSE MANNERS PACKAGE AT ALL COSTS. After 2 weeks with Stephanie our puppy had serious health concerns: diarrhea for 3 weeks with blood, so skinny we could see his hip bones and ribs, and he came home with a bacterial infection that cause him to bald on the top of his head. His behavior was also noticeably worse than before 2 weeks with Stephanie. He's only 4 months old, so we're not expecting him to be perfect....but after $1400 for training, we expected SOME progress. He actually went backwards in progress after 2 weeks in a professional training setting. They do not work on "sit" "stay" "come" or any other basic commands, so when he came home he forgot everything we taught him prior. I don't even think they worked on potty or crate training either; he had more accidents in our house the first day home after Off Leash K9 Training than the 3 weeks leading up to, and he now acts traumatized in his crate whenever we put him in there. His bad behaviors such as jumping and biting were worse after spending 2 weeks at Stephanie's house. I honestly have no idea what she did with him for 2 weeks.... but I can tell you it wasn't worth anywhere close to $1400. I'm convinced that something happened to him under K9's care and they are not being transparent with us. To me, he was neglected. Stephanie was training multiple other dogs the same time our pup was in her care, so how much attention did he really receive? He came home a completely different dog, and not in a good way. We've brought these issues up to Diana, the owner, and her response was the most appalling. She has no interest in resolving the situation. She blamed everything on allergies (our vet insisted his scalped head was not due to allergies, plus I didn't realize allergies cause behavioral issues). She has declined to reimburse us for our vet bills even though they're all directly related to the 2 weeks our puppy was in K9's care. I've reported them to BBB and will continue to write negative reviews because I would hate it if anyone else has to go through what we went through after losing 2 precious weeks with our puppy. We will never get those 2 weeks back. We've had to work really hard since he's been home to retrain him on top of taking multiple trips to the vet to get medications and tests run, just to get his health back to normal. Saying we're disappointed is an understatement. But honestly, what do they care? They don't, and Diana's response was very clear to us. This is one negative review in the sea of 5 stars..... so just a word of caution-- once they have your money, they do not care. I would go as far to say the House Manners Package is a scam.

I have been traing dogs for many years but never with the e collar,so not only did my 2 year old GSD need some training I needed it too. A friend recommended K9 off leash? and said to request Stefani so we did. We signed up for the basic and advanced package I cannot put into words what a great job Stefani did teaching both of us. After only after 8 weeks my dog listens to her commands like a Marine , she works off leash under very high distraction with very little correction and is a pleasure in the house, let me stress though you have to put in the work yourself dog training is a lifetime commitment? bot off leash k9 will give you the skills.
