Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

Will my dog hate wearing the e-collar?

Actually, most pups can’t wait to put it on! They soon associate the collar with fun training sessions, outdoor play, and quality time with you (not to mention showing off their skills at local parks). A trained, exercised dog is a happy dog—and a happy Maryland dog is living its best #offleashlife.

Question on Google
How long will this training take?

Question on Google
How much time per day do I need to train my dog?

We’ll show you how to make training part of your day-to-day routine in Elkridge and beyond. For the first 4 weeks, aim for 30 minutes a day to set a strong foundation. After that, your dog will be impressing your neighbors with their new skills in no time.

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
At what age can we start e-collar training?

Dogs should be at least 5 months old to start e-collar training. Puppies under 6 months? Ask about our local puppy daycare program—perfect for starting your young pup on the right paw!

Community answer · Dinain Acosta · 2025-10-21

Question on Google
Will an e-collar hurt my dog or affect their personality?

Nope! The e-collar is simply a communication tool, custom-fit for your dog. Our methods combine positive reinforcement and gentle guidance—no “shocking” allowed. Your dog will stay the same lovable goofball, just with way better manners (and less leash-dragging on your neighborhood walks).

Question on Google
Where do you train?

Off Leash K9 Training Maryland operates out of our facility at 8150 Lark Brown Rd, Elkridge, MD 21075—conveniently located for local pet parents. We offer flexible scheduling, including daytime, evening, and weekend lessons to fit your busy Maryland life. Our training happens both at our facility and in real-world local settings so your dog learns to listen even with all the distractions Elkridge (and the greater Maryland area) can throw at them. #offleashlife

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
What is an e-collar?

Our "walkie talkie" (aka communication device) uses the same safe technology as TENS units you’d find at a physical therapist. We use the lowest possible stimulation—think “tap on the shoulder”—to get your dog’s attention, not to startle or scare. Our Maryland clients love how quickly their pups catch on, even with the squirrels at Centennial Park taunting them.

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
Will my dog always have to wear the e-collar?

No. Most dogs in our program quickly learn to listen even without the collar, especially at home. We recommend keeping the collar on for local off-leash adventures—whether that’s a day at Patapsco Valley State Park or just your backyard—because you never know when a rogue squirrel or jogger will become the main event.

What sets your training apart from the rest?

Our private, one-on-one training means your dog gets the individual attention they need, right here in Elkridge.

Question on Google
Do they potty train the dogs?

Hi Fanta, While we do require the dogs to be housebroken to enroll in our board and train program our puppy program for dogs 5 months and under does help you set up a good routine with crate training and breaks to be successful with housebreaking.

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2019-09-21

No, they expect the dog to be crate and potty trained. Their training is about basic commands on and offleash.

Community answer · keith montgomery · 2019-09-21

Question on Google
Do you board dogs over night

I don't think so, only the dogs that are in their two weeks boarding training program.

Tony was the absolute best! We adopted our fur baby Rayne, so we didn’t have a whole lot of knowledge of her past or why she is like she is. What we do know is that she is anxious and nervous around new environments and new experiences, which made it hard for us to teach her confidence due to our lack of experience and knowledge. Tony had her for 2 weeks and we noticed an immense change! We really loved the daily pictures and videos showing us her development and progression. We can really tell that Tony was extremely knowledgeable and took good care of Rayne. This whole experience was amazing for not just Rayne, but for us as well. The information and attention Tony gave us has armed us with enough knowledge to continue to help Rayne overcome whatever trauma caused her to be skittish of the unknown, and we can only hope to continue the momentum that Tony started with her 2-week board and train! Thanks Off-Leash K9 Training, and thank you Tony! This was exactly what Rayne needed!

Business response

Thank you so much, Alex! We’re so happy to hear how well Rayne is doing and that the experience was meaningful for both of you. We’re grateful for your trust. Wishing you and Rayne all the best as you continue her journey!

Off Leash K9 has been an incredible resource in helping us train our rescue pup! Before coming to Off Leash, we had a rambunctious pup with endless energy and a "do as I please" attitude. We started with Puppy Camp to help with socialization and basic commands and noticed a difference almost immediately. Not to mention it helped release some of the puppy energy! After Puppy Camp, Jen recommended the two-week Board and Train program, which is a gem. Kai spent two weeks with Tony and came back a totally different pup. He was much more calm, comfortable being in public spaces, and was significantly less reactive to external factors. Two weeks post-training and jumping is pretty much a non-issue, his recall is much stronger, and Kai is mastering his commands. With that said, I highly recommend Off Leash K9 - the staff are great, the training programs work, and your pup will love it there :-)

Business response

Thank you, Amber! We’re so glad to hear how much progress Kai has made. He’s such a special pup, and it was a joy to work with him. We really appreciate your kind words and trust in us!

My dog, Sailor and I had an awesome experience with Tony! He was her trainer for the 2-week board & train program and I could not recommend him enough. I was shocked at how much my puppy was able to learn in such a short period of time. I really appreciated Tony’s approach and training style. He is patient, consistent, and effective. You can tell he knows what he’s doing and cares for the animals he works with. He is also extremely responsive and reassuring, which was really nice. I appreciated how he listened to my concerns and was attentive to Sailor’s individual needs.

Business response

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! We’re thrilled to hear how well Sailor did and that you had such a positive experience with Tony. He truly cares about each dog he works with, and your kind words mean a lot!

We brought our 7 month puppy to Off Leash K9 training. The staff is super knowledgeable, provided great instruction in person as well as continuing work at home, and showed such affection for our puppy. We highly recommend the marker program (along with puppy camp) and we plan to continue his training at Off Leash!

Business response

Thank you, Kelly! We loved working with your pup and are so glad you had a great experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you both again for more training!

Off Leash K9 Training is a must for your puppy! I'm a brand new puppy parent who took their puppy to a six week store brand training for puppies. Big mistake and waste of money! I was referred to Off Leash by a co-worker and I am so happy! The private puppy training lessons with Patricia were amazing! Everything we learned from the six week store brand course we learned in just only one lesson with Patricia. The private puppy lessons with Patricia combined with Off Leash's puppy camp have been so beneficial to my now 6 month old Australian Shepherd - Snickerdoodle. One of the best things coming out of the trainings is that I can now leave Snickerdoodle home alone for a few hours with no problems. Snickerdoodle has always been the best boy, but he is now even greater thanks to Patricia and the Off Leash team. Thank you guys so much! Snickerdoodle and I will be back soon for more training in the future!

Business response

Megan, thank you so much! We're so happy to hear how well Snickerdoodle is doing and that you had such a great experience with Patricia. It means a lot knowing we could help make things easier (and more fun!) for you as a new puppy parent. Can’t wait to see you and your sweet pup again soon!
