I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training, particularly based on my experiences with Whitney, who was the trainer for my dog Roscoe, a Husky Mix (Siberian Husky, Samoyed). Whitney's lessons have laid a solid foundation for better communication with my dog and significantly improved Roscoe's recall, even in challenging environments outside our home. Here's an overview of our experience: Dog: Roscoe Breed: Husky Mix (Siberian Husky, Samoyed) - 75 lbs Behavior Issues: Fixation on small animals, familiar cars, limited recall, especially outside the house. Location: Delhi Trainer: Whitney Kisner Program: 2-week board & train I chose Off Leash K9 Training because they stood out among the vendors I was considering. Their extensive collection of customer testimonials, rave reviews, and videos, including one featuring a husky off-leash in public, piqued my interest. When I contacted them, I spoke with a knowledgeable individual who took the time to understand Roscoe's history and behavior. Their genuine concern for my pet's well-being made the decision to proceed with the board & train program easy. The drop-off with Whitney was reassuring. Beforehand, we had a clear plan for the board & train program. Whitney exuded positivity and care, both in our prior communications and during our in-person meeting. We discussed Roscoe's behavioral issues and daily routines, ensuring a smooth transition. I left knowing my dog was in good hands. Concerns about my dog's well-being during training are natural, but Whitney and her family embraced Roscoe as one of their own. The daily updates, including images and videos, demonstrated the remarkable progress he was making. His ability to coexist in their household and receive affection from her family put my mind at ease. The transformation in his behavior exceeded my expectations in just a few days of training. On pick-up day, I was overjoyed to see my transformed dog. The 3-hour enablement session covered all the commands he had learned, including the use of his new e-collar. Roscoe's improvement was evident. We also ventured to a challenging park with distractions he used to fixate on. He excelled under my control, a testament to the effectiveness of the training. The day after training, Whitney stopped by to drop off a bungee collar, which would be better for my dog's fur. Roscoe's reaction upon seeing Whitney again emphasized the strong bond they had formed. She tested Roscoe's obedience in a challenging situation, which he passed with flying colors. In the few days since being back home from training, we've walked 6+ miles and haven't had him pull at all, which is a night & day difference. In summary, Off Leash K9 Training, with Whitney as the trainer, has had a transformative impact on Roscoe's obedience. The comprehensive support, daily updates, and the deep bond formed between my dog and his trainer make this program highly commendable. Whitney is a true advocate for your pet's well-being and behavior improvement.
