5/5

This facility came highly recommended to us from several people. I sent my sweet 7 month old Frenchie boy, Rocky, for 3 week Board & Train with Kim. He didn't really have any bad behaviors, but he was scared to go up & down stairs & he would not walk on a leash without pulling away from us. He just needed basic command trainings, as we have a business that I bring him to everyday & I wanted him to be well behaved with our customers. As excruciatingly hard as it was to be away from him for that long, we knew it was for the best. Kim sent updates through texts, pictures & videos every day, Mon-Fri & those updates were our life line to get us through. On the very first update the first evening, Rocky was already going up & down stairs! The next day, he was walking on a leash perfectly! Not to mention all the other commands he learned so well. I don't think there is a more stubborn boy than mine & it's amazing what Kim was able to teach him! He is now behaving well when customers come in. He places & doesn't run up to the door right away & get under their feet! If you are on the fence about doing this training, let me tell you, it's worth every penny & every day away from your baby to get top notch training! Highly recommend!

Thanks so much, Tonya, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We know how difficult it is to be away from your puppy for three weeks, so we're honored that you trusted Kim and our team with Rocky. Rocky was such a fun little guy to work with! It was amazing to see how quickly he gained confidence with the stairs and learned to walk politely on a leash. Even with his stubborn Frenchie personality, he worked hard and made incredible progress with his obedience. Hearing that he's now calmly holding place and greeting customers appropriately at your business is exactly what we hoped to accomplish. We're so glad the daily photos, videos, and updates helped make the time apart a little easier. Thank you again for your trust, your kind words, and your recommendation. Give Rocky lots of love from all of us, and remember, we're always here if you ever need a refresher or have questions down the road! 🐾❤️

If I could give more stars I would. Our family is so impressed with Kim and indebted to her. We are grateful for her expertise, resourcefulness and support. She helped our beloved stubborn and frequently annoying French Bulldog, Bentley James, go from a BRUT to a gentleman! Kim taught Bentley to have manners, play with other dogs and follow directions. We can have our family and friends over without apprehension! All of our family and friends are amazed at the transformation. If your concern is cost, I will say that she is worth every penny if you value a sense of calm and enjoyment as well as a dog who has intention. She is so worth it that we are sending our Golden Retriever for manners as well. We see this as an investment in our mental health, all of our dogs’ mental health AND our family/friends’ mental health. If you are worried about leaving your pup in the board training with Kim, I can assure you our hearts were happy because she sent us photos, videos, updates and instructions every night, Monday through Friday. Our family looked forward to Kim’s correspondence at night. We viewed and reviewed her instructions because they were so informative. It is obvious to all of us how knowledgeable she is; how much she loves her job and her love for these dogs! We love Kim! We cannot thank her enough for helping us realize that our dog was smarter than we gave him credit for! He is such a pleasure now. Our home is much more enjoyable and relaxed. That is an acknowledgment to Kim! Huge fans of Kim and Off Leash K9 Training. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Tiffany, for this incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt review. It truly means a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear about Bentley James’ transformation—from “BRUT to gentleman” is exactly the kind of progress we love to see! Kim puts her whole heart into every dog she works with, and it’s wonderful to know her dedication, communication, and expertise made such a positive impact on your family’s daily life. Your perspective on training as an investment in both your dogs’ and your family’s well-being is spot on, and we’re honored to be part of that journey. We’re also excited to work with your Golden Retriever next! Thank you again for your trust, your kind words, and for being such amazing clients. Give Bentley some love from all of us—we’re big fans of his too!

I did the 2.5 week board and train with my German Shepherd when she was 5 mos old and decided to do the 1 week board and Advanced training with this group. The experience has been excellent both times! You get daily updates on what the trainer and your dog work on along with pictures and videos. Crystal and Kaitlin were both very friendly and great to work with. Luna immediately liked her trainer, Kaitlin. I get so many compliments from others on how well behaved my dog is! Thank you K9 Off Leash training!!! I highly recommend!!

Thank you so much for your continued trust in us and for sharing such a thoughtful review! It means a lot that you chose to come back for additional training with Luna. We’re thrilled to hear that you had another excellent experience and that the daily updates, photos, and videos helped you stay connected throughout her training. Kaitlin will be so happy to hear that Luna took to her so quickly—building that bond is such an important part of the process. And hearing that Luna is getting compliments on her behavior out in the real world is exactly what we aim for! We truly appreciate your recommendation and your support. It’s been a pleasure working with both you and Luna, and we’re always here if you need anything in the future! —Crystal Off Leash K9 Training Blacksburg/Roanoke

5-Star Review: Transformative Training with Dylan – Highly Recommend for Rottweiler Owners! I recently completed the 8-session in-person training package where I stayed and worked hands-on with the trainer, Dylan. As someone who’s no stranger to dog training, I specifically chose this program to showcase what a Rottweiler can truly be—loyal, powerful, and well-mannered—rather than the misunderstood “hard-headed” stereotype. Dylan provided the e-collar as part of the package and expertly fine-tuned our approach to address my dog’s bad behaviors. He demonstrated exactly how to communicate clearly, correct effectively, and build reliable obedience. The trainers here truly know how to shape a dog’s behavior to match what you envision. That said, the real key to success is the owner. Trainers can equip you with the tools, techniques, and proof of what’s possible (watching my Rottweiler respond flawlessly was eye-opening), but it’s up to you to stay consistent, implement the changes, and hold both yourself and your dog accountable. If you’re not willing to shift your own mindset and put in the daily effort, the results won’t stick. I admit I got lazy before this program—skipping consistent training turned my girl into a rambunctious, “crazy puppy” over the summer with the kids around. I needed that jump-start and outside expertise. We actually heard about this place from a stranger in public who raved about his beautifully trained male Rottweiler. A few months after our final session, the transformation is incredible. I now confidently take her off-leash in places most people wouldn’t even try with a leash. She heels perfectly, comes through my legs on command and sits between them while we wait in line at stores, and nails all the basics (sit, down, off, stay, etc.) with ease. She’s complimented everywhere we go—people are amazed by her calm demeanor and control. She hasn’t lost an ounce of her vibrant personality; she just knows the difference between playtime and work mode now. Dylan and the off-leash focus showed me the path to the well-behaved companion I always wanted. Bottom line: If you’re serious about real change, this program delivers—but only if you’re committed to following through. We all reach out for help because our old ways weren’t working. Dylan gave us the roadmap; the rest is on us. Worth every penny—5 stars!

Thank you so much for the incredible review and for taking the time to share your experience! We truly appreciate the thoughtful feedback. It was a pleasure working with you and Elsa. Dylan does an excellent job helping owners understand not just what to do, but how to clearly communicate with their dogs, and it’s great to hear how impactful that was for you. Your commitment to the process and willingness to put in the work made all the difference. You highlighted something we always emphasize—training is a partnership. Our goal is to give owners the tools, structure, and confidence to continue building on the training long after the sessions are over. It’s amazing to hear how well Elsa is doing months later and how confidently you’re able to take her out in public and even off-leash. Those real-world results are exactly what we strive for. We also love hearing that Elsa has kept her vibrant personality while gaining the structure and reliability you were looking for. That balance is so important. Thank you again for trusting Dylan and our team to help you reach your goals. We’re proud of the work you both put in and are thrilled to hear Elsa is turning heads everywhere you go!
