What people have asked about this business.
Do you offer water rescue training for Newfoundlands?
Any suggestions of where to find a program locally?
Thanks.
Hey there! Unfortunately, we do not offer water rescue training and am unsure if any local training companies do. Maybe check out "Pup n Iron", I know they do some specialty training.

Our pup is a 5 1/2 month old German shepherd who was pulling us around on the leash, not listening to any commands while distractions were present, jumping up on anything she felt like and just generally having selective following. We just got her back today and WOW the difference was immediately noticeable! Colby takes great pride in his work and it shows. In the 2 weeks he had her she did a complete 180 on listening to commands. The foundation he built will greatly improve our families ability to have her around at all events we can think of to take her with the confidence that our dog will listen and follow commands.
Bottom line is OLK9 is an amazing place to go and ask for Colby! He will take care of your pup like it’s his own and bonus points if you bring him a GSD.
Oh one last thing the price for the 2 week program is more than worth it!

Trainer Emma was an absolute joy ! She had prince for two weeks and they worked on numerous commands. If you know a boxer in your life, it can be hard to get them to listen. Our dog prince came back with so much confidence and obedience. Emma sent me photos and videos throughout his stay so that i always knew how he was doing. We had a 2 hour session where she taught me everything he learned and how to maintain his progress. We are super pleased and could not recommend OLK9 any more !

Colby did a fantastic job with my puppy Muffin. We did the two week board and train, and I always looked forward to getting the update of the day which included some information on what they worked on that day as well as some pictures and videos of Muffin. It was very helpful and educational for me and of course I was excited to see the progress she was making. He is patient, honest, highly skilled and dedicated to being a great dog trainer as well as a very good person. I cannot thank Colby and Off leash training enough for the great job that was done with my Muffin. I would/ will recommend Colby to everybody that has a pup!
