Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Where do the dogs stay in the board & train program?
Every trainer has a designated kennel room set up in their home or on their property that is heated and cooled. Each kennel room is equipped with crates that are safe from even the most persistent escape artist. Cleanliness is of upmost importance to us and every trainer is scheduled accordingly in order to make sure that when a dog leaves, the room and kennels are ready for their next client.

How much time will my dog be spending in a crate?
While participating in our 2 Week Board & Train Program, a trainer is authorized up to three clients dogs at a time. This is at the discretion of the trainer. Each dog is worked to their max capacity in time per session. (This could be 30 minutes up to 3 hours at a time for one session) How many sessions are worked in a day is determined on the mental and physical energy that dog can work in a day. This means that a dog can spend anywhere between 3 to 6 hours a day working and the rest snoozing in there kennel.

Do you offer potty training?
For all puppies that are under 6 months of age we do not offer potty training. The reason for this is it takes a very strict schedule in the puppies day to get on a normal cycle of eating/drinking, play time, training time, and crate time. There are a lot factors that go into successfully potty training a dog such as maturity, genetics, breed, size, age, and medical. However, we do offer additional support when a semi potty trained pup participates in our Board & Train Program.

Do you work with nervous and anxious dogs?
Yes we provide a tailored program for those dogs who suffer from anxiety.
Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training of North Alabama · 2021-09-21
Do you guarantee your training?
We guarantee our training as long as the program is followed by the owners as the trainer has set for their dogs needs. Classes require for the client to work with their dog every day for 45 minutes on the assignment that was given by the trainer. The success of classes is 100.00% determined by how much the client works with their dog. For the 2 Week Board & Train to be successful, the client must maintain their dog in the manner which the trainer set fourth on turn over day.

Are your classes set up in groups or they individual?
All our class programs are one on one with a trainer. We value giving our clients our undivided attention when working with their pet. This is very important as the trainer will discuss behaviors they see with the owner, and teach the owner how to handle those behaviors. This essentially creates a better bond between the owners and their pet through obedience.

How much for 2 week training? I have a german shepard a year old
Our Board & Train is $2,900.00. But we can break up the payments with reasonable, zero interest, monthly payment plans! No more than your average car payment. That way you can get the dog of your dreams without breaking the bank!

If 10 starts were an option, I'd give them! Ciara's OLK9 HSV facility and team are top-notch. Our 6 month old German Shepherd was paired with Lindsey for the two week Board and Train program. Lindsey was AMAZING with Heidi, and our girl really bonded with her. We were sent videos and pictures daily to watch the progress. Lindsey's regular and honest communication educated us and kept us informed while Heidi was with her. Lindsey continues to provide us support by answering our questions and addressing any concerns as we have them now that Heidi is back home. We have a transformed puppy who we know will grow into a beautifully behaved dog as we upkeep the foundations put in place by Lindsey at OLK9 HSV.

Ciara did an amazing job with our sweet stubborn mini golden doodle, Buzz. We picked him up a week ago from his 2 week board and train. He is like a different dog! So much more obedient and calm. He is a joy to take on walks now. No more pulling me down the street. No more barking at other dogs we pass. (and, no more barking for attention at home) We gave Ciara a very wound up year old puppy and she sent us home with a well behaved little gentleman. I took him to the vet yesterday and he actually sat on the exam table during the exam. He would have never done that before. We could have NEVER taught him to obey the way that Ciara did. We are so glad that we took him to her!

Every interaction I had with the awesome people at Off-Leash Huntsville, from the initial inquiry through the end of the 2 week board and train, was absolutely professional. They treated my questions and concerns seriously and respectfully. Brenden was the trainer for my 2 labs during their board and train stay. He is amazing! When I dropped my dogs off, I was more than a little skeptical that Brenden would be able to accomplish all he said he could given how overly enthusiastic and strong my dogs were. Well, Brenden more than delivered on his claims. The dogs learned all the basic commands plus 2 advanced commands. They demonstrated excellent impulse control (which they had next to none prior to this training). Brenden is calm, patient, and methodical in working with the dogs. He is excellent at problem solving. Additionally, it is apparent that he enjoys what he does, and the dogs love him. When I came to pick up the dogs, Brenden spent extra time with me, making sure I was comfortable handling the dogs. I could go on and on. The is a first rate training program, and Brenden is a first rate trainer.
