I had a great experience with Off Leash K9! Troy did amazing work with River, and I am beyond happy with her progress and behavior after the 2 week board and train. He made sure to keep me updated throughout the 2 weeks with photos and videos and training tips to remember for working with her from home. Prior to board and train, going on walks was a very stressful experience for both of us. After having her home, we are able to go on walks with no issues and I have seen a major confidence boost with River! I am very happy and thankful for the work and results with Troy!

We had a great experience with Off Leash K9 Training, especially with Kaitlin. Otis came in with reactivity issues, and she worked with him using patience, structure, and genuine care. The progress he made was impressive, and he is noticeably calmer and more confident.
We were so impressed with Otis’s results that we’ve decided to send our anxious Belgian, Milo, for training as well. Kaitlin truly cares about the dogs she works with, and it shows in both her professionalism and results. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone dealing with reactivity.

“Troy was wonderful. He took the time to bond and connect with Bingo, responded thoughtfully to changing situations, and shared helpful feedback and observations throughout the training. He was also very willing to work with us at our learning level. Bingo is still our loving, playful dog, but now we’re able to clearly outline boundaries and expectations, which has helped strengthen our connection.”

Katlin with K9 off leash was absolutely amazing to work with! Our lab Hank was 9 months old at the time we did the board and train. He’s a sweet boy, but just like any puppy would get too excited and jump with visitors, he also had selective listening. He learned SO much in his two weeks with Katlin! We enjoyed the daily pictures with explanations of what they were working on that day. I can now take him on walks and we both feel confident with his behavior. He stays in place when we have visitors. We feel much more confident after our training with Katlin too now that we can effectively communicate with Hank! It is an investment with the price and time that we spend daily to keep up with the training, but we feel like it was well worth it to have a happy, well behaved pup (now if we can get our kids to listen as well!). Thank you so much to Katlin with K9 off leash!

Mikayla sent daily updates including photos and videos of our pup’s progress. We all appreciated these check ins and seeing how much he was learning and loving the training experience! They did a great job of understanding our priorities and giving us simple instructions on how to continue his training at home. Highly recommend!
