What a relief to find great dog trainers. We took our English Setter to Off Leash K9 Training 30A and let Nathan work his magic. She was a rescue dog from a kill shelter and had a ton of issues and the team at Off Leash did great work. The daily videos they sent us so we could watch her progress in training really made us feel at ease. She is no longer timid and disobedient. She has more confidence and is an angel in public. I highly recommend using Nathan and his team.

Business response

Thank you so much for your kind words, Heath! We’re thrilled to hear about the incredible progress your English Setter has made. It’s always our goal to bring out the best in every dog, especially those with a rough start in life. Knowing that she’s gained confidence and is now enjoying life as ‘an angel in public’ is the best reward we could ask for. We’re here for any future support you need. Wishing you and your pup many happy, well-behaved adventures together! 🐾💕

Nate did an amazing job of training our eight month old dalmatian, Blaze. We opted to have Blaze board and train with Nate in order to acclimate him to commands and ensure his compliance. Being that Blaze is a Dalmatian and still a puppy, He is extremely energetic. Although He is a very loving dog, he was becoming more than I could handle before Nate trained him. We have other pets in the household, so it was imperative that Blaze learned boundaries in order to ensure a comfortable, non-chaotic home Environment. Also, and very importantly, Nate took the time to Educate me and my husband about how to transition Blaze’s training from his care & training environment to our home and activities of daily living. Thank you Nate Training Blaze and helping us achieve harmony in our household. We now have a lovable, Respectful and controllable wonderful dog.

Business response

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re overjoyed to hear about Blaze’s incredible progress under Nate’s guidance. 🌈🐕 Training an energetic and spirited Dalmatian like Blaze is indeed a remarkable journey, and Nate is thrilled to have been a part of it. Your insight into how Blaze’s training has brought harmony and balance into your home, especially with other pets around, is truly heartwarming. 🏡❤️ It’s always our goal to not just train the dog but also empower the owners with the knowledge and skills to continue the training at home. We’re glad that the transition of Blaze’s training from Nate’s care to your daily environment has been successful and smooth. Thank you for trusting Off Leash K9 Training with Blaze’s training. We’re delighted to have helped you achieve a lovable, respectful, and well-behaved furry family member. If you ever need more guidance or support, remember we’re just a bark away! 🐶✨

let me preface all of this by saying i am not against balanced training or tools under any circumstances. i used balanced training and tools, but i know when and where to use them. waited 1.5 months to start training with them because they don't take dogs under 5 months of age just to find out they want to slap and e collar on a PUPPY and don't offer any other methods of training. the trainer (believe it was megan, didnt state their name the recent time we spoke. ceirra didnt even respond to my previous text days ago) was rude when i asked about other training methods because an e collar is not the right fit for my dog right now. she's shy and fearful and a powerful tool is not going to make her confidence flourish. she said all they offer is balanced training and started pushing it on me again but they don't know anything about my dog and how timid she can be. i stated that i appreciate the offer but that is not the fit for us right now. once again, pushing their training method on me offering a full refund if i'm dissatisfied. i'm already dissatisfied and will never step foot in that training facility. customer service is LACKING. be nicer, respond to potential clients appropriately and in a timely manner, and learn how to accept that not everyone wants or needs to train with you. an e collar is not a one size fits all. be better trainers.

Business response

Dear Kyra, Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We deeply value all feedback and take your points seriously. I want to clarify a significant misunderstanding: our records show that you have not enrolled your dog in any of our training programs. This is important to mention as it seems there are some incorrect assumptions about our methods and approach, particularly regarding the use of e-collars. At Off Leash K9 Training 30A, we do not advocate the use of e-collars on very young puppies. Our training methodologies are developed with a deep understanding of a dog's psychological and developmental needs. We have a decade-long track record of successfully working with dogs of varying temperaments, including those that are shy and fearful such as yours. Our primary goal is always to build confidence in such dogs using appropriate, gentle, and effective techniques. I regret to hear that you felt our communication was lacking and not timely. Providing excellent customer service is a cornerstone of our business, and we apologize for not responding in the amount of time you were expecting. We strive to maintain prompt and respectful communication with all potential and current clients. We will certainly review our processes to ensure we are meeting the high standards we set for ourselves. Regarding the mention of a specific training method being pushed, please know that our approach is always tailored to the individual dog's needs. We believe in a balanced training philosophy, utilizing a variety of tools and techniques to achieve the best outcomes. Each dog's training plan is crafted after careful assessment and consideration of their unique personality and requirements. It's unfortunate that there was a misunderstanding, and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you to clear up any confusion. Our mission is to provide the best training and care for each dog and their owner, and I would like to ensure your concerns are addressed satisfactorily. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you wish to discuss this matter further or if there is anything else we can assist you with. Warm regards, Ciarra
