I would definitely recommend Off Leash K9 for all your training needs. Landon was amazing! He listened to my concerns/problem areas and has corrected them all. He sent report cards every evening with her progress as well as pictures and videos so I could see my girl. He even allowed her to hug him like she did me as he thought it was cute and wanted us to still have that ❤️
On pick up, he made sure to show me her commands and how to correct her properly. He made sure I understood them all before we moved onto the next which was great.
I could not have asked for a better trainer!
Thank you Landon for reigning my girl in and showing me how to continue her training on becoming the most amazing fur baby she can be! I look so forward to being able to take her everywhere with me now 🤗

Overall outstanding experience! Coco recently finished the two week training with Landon and OLK9 and we had a great experience. Our 9 month old pup was getting bigger and more difficult to handle and we hoped to be able to regain some control. Now she’s responsive to commands and our family enjoyment has gone through the roof. Daily photos, videos and progress reports from Landon kept us informed and kept us excited to see her in person. We’re still refining her behavior to our home but now we have tools to continue her training. The experience exceeded our expectations and we would recommend Off Leash to anyone who wants to enjoy their fur baby more!

Outstanding training for my little boy Goose. We signed him up for training in hopes that he will become a service dog. Training has exceeded my expectations. Videos and pictures every night on the report card allowed us to track his progress which was such a blessing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Lauren was absolutely amazing! My puppy, Blake, has had tremendous improvements since his board and train. We received detailed nightly reports to ease our minds while he was away, and a very thorough training session at the end to make sure we knew how to continue reinforcing the good behaviors he learned. I would highly recommend the 2 week board and train program to everyone!
