Off Leash K9 Training, Charlottesville

We are so very pleased and grateful to Tyla for the amazing and wonderful training she provided to our 10 month old golden retriever named “Boomer”. We were struggling and very concerned that we could not keep Boomer because he was so hard for us to manage. Boomer has anxiety, and was afraid of trucks, noises, people , new places, chewing on furniture, etc. It was very difficult to take him out in public. We were anxious and nervous about Boomer going to boarding and training school. Tyla took the time to explain to us what we could expect from Boomer’s training and reassured us that she would take good care of him. And, she did just that and more!! Tyla’s training has been the best thing ever for Boomer and us. We are amazed and speechless with Boomer’s progress after two weeks of training with Tyla. Boomer is more confident, he listens and follows commands, he's calmer, able to play and relax and seems much happier overall. This is all Thanks to Tyla’s hard work and Excellent training. Tyla sent us a daily report card with videos, pictures, and a detailed report of Boomer’s training, which was very helpful and made us feel like we were a part of his training. We are so grateful that Boomer is able to spend quality time with us when we’re sitting in the living room or in the kitchen, which he could not do before. He is not jumping up on us, not taking things off the counters. There is no yelling which is so wonderful. 😊 He listens and is able to follow our commands. Tyla spent a lot of time training us in the turnover so we can continue to train Boomer and build his skills. From start to finish, Tyla has be great, so passionate, professional, thoughtful, kind, Patient and willing to go the extra to make sure our dog was well trained. We are very happy with the training our dog received. We would highly recommend Tyla to anyone who is looking for an excellent dog trainer. Needless to say, we are keeping our Boomer!!!! A big thank you to the off Leash K9 Training Center and a very special Thank You to Tyla!!!

I was a little nervous about the E Collar at first because my boy is a Service Dog but we've had issues with reactivity in public. But he took to his training 100% better than I imagined. Tyla was so wonderful with him for the 2 week board and train and did things with him I never thought possible given his past history. I also loved how informed she kept me everyday with the pictures videos and reports of his progress and things they were working on. His confidence is up and you can see in his eyes how proud he is of himself for doing such a good job. We've been able to walk around stores without the issues we were having before and now that he's not panicking about what's happening around him he can focus more on me and being the best service dog. Edit: I recently boarded my boy with Tyla. She is absolutely amazing with him. I got daily updates and pictures of things they worked on, or fun play time moments. Its so reassuring for me to be able to leave my baby with someone who cares so much about him and his well-being. He gets so excited to see her. I highly recommend!

I have nothing but good things to say about this whole experience. My dog went in anxious, reactive and with a huge stubborn streak, and came out confident and obedient. She has started to really learn impulse control and corrects herself before we have to. Walks used to be a nightmare because she would pull so hard. Now she walks right next to us. I feel so happy that I can share my life even more with my pup. Our trainer was LeeAnn, and I genuinely am forever grateful for her. Not only did she help my baby be more confident and trust us more, but we could genuinely tell she cared about our dog. LeeAnn was incredibly sweet and patient with our Nuggy, and never failed to give us the BEST report cards, pictures, and feedback. There was never a moment where I felt like my dog wasn’t being cared for and loved properly. During pick up, when we were learning the commands, LeeAnn was incredibly helpful and patient with us too. Even now, we can reach out to her whenever we have doubts or want to make sure we are doing something correctly. At first, I was worried that the result wouldn’t be worth the price, but it is SO WORTH IT. I would have never been able to train her the way she is now and I am so grateful that my girl is confident and is forming a trust bond with me. The entire family was concerned she might come back and not be her silly goofy self anymore, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. She is, in many ways, able to be even more goofy and silly. We are planning on getting a second puppy in the future, and are already planning to specifically request LeeAnn. Forever grateful for how kind she has been to us and our pup. So happy with my experience with OLK9, but more importantly with LeeAnn. My girl Nuggy has never been more full of life!!
