After the 4 week training program we are already feeling comfortable enough to leave our dog off leash in our back yard (without a fence). Our trainer Angela was super patient with us and our pup. She answered any questions we had and explained all the training session with us to work at home. Highly recommend her and this program. We already see a difference in our dog and can’t wait to keep working with him.

Your service is great. Kelsey and Cassie are very knowledgeable and I can tell they love dogs and this is more than a job, more like a passion. I have taken Toby to 2 other training schools and this by far is the best, I wish I would have done more research before and brought Toby to Off the Leash K9 Training first. I would recommend Off the Leash K9 Training to anyone who is wants or needs a dog training service. I really can’t say enough good things about this service.
