We had just gotten our dog and he was having some hyper activity issues leading to some behavior problems. He was a giant puppy and not aware of his size. Our trainer was Lyndsey, and we could not have asked for better. She was absolutely amazing. My boy Buck, is a very good boy, she not only trained him but trained us on handling him. We have not had any further issues and my boy is very well behaved.

My 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd Indy went on the 2 week board and train with Emily and she came back almost a new dog! Still her playful goofy self but she is much better mannered and listens a lot better now. Taking her outside or to lakes, hikes and trails are so much easier she doesn’t even need to be on the leash. Her being off leash trained she knows how far she’s allowed to get from me and she listens when I recall her every time! Definitely happy with the results and our trainer sent pictures and videos every single day of the progress. I felt comfortable leaving my dog in the care of off leash k9 and cannot thank them enough for working my with my Indy girl!

My dog Luna is a rescue and she was very frightened of everything. Her first session with K9 off leash she was so scared of the new people that she peed all in their floor. By the end of the session she was happily going up to the trainer for treats and pets. Her trainer specializes in reactive dogs as well as rescue cases. She was so patient and kind with Luna and worked to gain her trust. After the class was completed and training was on our own, Luna willingly went up to a man in Lowe’s, accepted a treat, and pets from him. This is huge as she is terrified of men and strangers. I cannot thank K9 Off Leash for giving Luna and I the tools to succeed! Highly recommend!
We are so happy with our training. We joined off leash a few months after adopting our pup. He was dog reactive and only knew one or two commands. He is now a new dog! We can actually take him places with us without worrying about a reaction and he walks perfectly on a leash. I cannot say enough great things about Krystal- she is the absolute best!
