Dan VanOsdel, hands down, is the best trainer. Our dog Luca is very shy and timid, and Dan interacted with Luca easily. Dan is very smart, affectionate trainer. Luca has learned alot with Dan's education and training, as we humans did as well! We highly recommend asking for Dan VanOsdel.

Stevi at Off Leash K9 Training is an absolute miracle worker. For five years, our golden, Cannoli, has been a joy in our lives but an absolute nightmare out in public - pulling on the leash, not relaxing or lying down, and frankly, ruining a lot of our public outings. After just one week, she is a different dog. Her personality is still there completely, but she has made a night and day transformation in how she walks on the leash, her patience and stability with commands like sit, down, and place, and so much more. I now look forward to taking her places to see how much more enjoyable it is for all of us. THANK YOU STEVI!!!!!

We had Derek as our dog's trainer and she could not have loved him more! Derek sent us daily videos and notes on her progression. We sent Lady to the 2 week board and train when she was 7 months so she still had a lot of puppy in her. Derek made a point to still train her effectively while letting her be a puppy. After the 2 week session Lady now effortlessly heels, never tugs, has perfect recall and is able to stay in one place for long amounts of time. We are happy with the foundation we created for her as a young dog (8 months) that will be translated into her adult years. Thank you, Derek! We are so very grateful!

I HIGHLY recommend Off-Leash K9 Training to anyone who has a dog in need of some better manners and discipline. My wife and I took our one-year-old Havanese to our initial consultation, where we were lucky to be paired with Stevie. Stevie showed us the facility, explained every detail of the two-week training program, and made sure we were absolutely comfortable before we scheduled our training. It was difficult to be away from our dog for two weeks, but Stevie sent us daily updates via text along with really fun videos and photos of her progress, which eased our anxiety as we counted the days until pickup. We met with Stevie following the two-week training program and she demonstrated how to continue training at home to ensure our dog gets the most from the program. My wife and I are thrilled with the results. Our dog can now heel perfectly on walks around the neighborhood, whereas before she was pulling and highly distractable. She also has much better manners when greeting people and other dogs. Her place commands are also coming in really handy, and she's much more comfortable in her crate than she was prior to her time with Stevie. She has been home for a few days now and the change is remarkable. I feel infinitely more confident bringing her out into public. I really can't recommend the program enough. We didn't have any personal interaction with the other trainers (who we've heard are terrific as well) but I would absolutely recommend Stevie. We're excited to pass her details on to anyone we come across who is in need.

I booked the 2 week board and train for my dog Ruki recently and I’m incredibly happy with both the experience and results provided by Off-Leash. Gustavo was very friendly and helpful during my consultation, and Dan the trainer was great to work with. Dan trained Ruki for the whole 2 week program and you can tell he is very passionate about what he does. He was very communicative throughout the entire process and explained everything thoroughly. I received daily updates that provided a well put together video edit of the day, a detailed description about the days events (what was worked on, where they went, etc...), and details on how Ruki was progressing with each command. It was great to see the progress each day, as well as how happy and well taken care of my pup was. At the end of the 2 weeks, Dan provided a great 3 hour hands on training session that set Ruki and I up for continued success. Off-Leash both met and exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend checking out a consultation if you’re looking for any of their services. I can definitely say that my dog and I are both happier and more confident after our experience!
