FirstBarkThe training my puppy received from Maddie was fantastic. She is now an obedient dog who still has fun but knows what is expected of her. It is enjoyable walking her now! Would highly recommend Off leash training!

My 1 year old cavalier King Charles spaniel spent 2 weeks with Ashley for training. I was amazed at how quickly she picked up on the commands. She was a very stubborn girl. But now, she’s a new little lady. Ashley is definitely in the right field! She’s so compassionate and made me feel at ease leaving my baby with her. I couldn't wait to get my nightly updates with a message, pictures and video. I would highly recommend Ashley with olk9!

We were looking for training for our rescue dog, Finn and my husband came across Off Leash K9. The whole process was easy and comfortable from the first phone, to drop off, daily updates, and pick up. The process was way more then I expected and I was very greatful for that! Finn has only been with is for about 4mos now and being a GSD/Alaskan Malamute mix, he has been a bit of a challenge at times. He's a toddler in a BIG boys body, so there was work to be done. Ashley was amazing with him! Each night we recieved daily updates of his progress with pictures and a video. It became a highlight of my day because I watch the progress my big, goofy, sweet boy was making. Into the second week, I saw my boy working off leash, following commands! By the end of the two weeks, the last video almost had me in tears because I couldn't believe how far Finn had come in such a short time. Not to mentions I could see how well he we being loved on too which made things so much easier. Then turnover day came and I wasn't really sure what to expect and it was way more informational that I had thought! Not only did Ashley go over all the commands Finn learned, she put him to work to show us first hand. Then she had me work with him to get the hang of working his comands for when we went home. He has been home for less then 24 hours and is already making so much progress! I am so proud of my boy and so thankful for Off Leash K9! I highly recommend them for anyone who is thinking about dog training.
Ashley did an amazing job with our 5 month old Belgian Malinois, Ledger. She was so knowledgeable, always communicated with us, and made the whole process easy. You can tell she really knows what she's doing and cares about the dogs she works with. We're so happy with the results so far and would definitely recommend Off Leash K9 Training to anyone looking for a great trainer!

We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Off Leash K9 Training! Our dog, Ledger, is a 5-month-old Belgian Malinois, and Ashley was his trainer for the two-week board-and-train program. From the beginning, Ashley was personable, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced with the breed, which immediately gave us confidence that Ledger was in the right hands. Throughout the entire two weeks, she provided daily updates on his training and progress, along with photos, and always took the time to answer any questions we had. The difference between drop-off and pickup was nothing short of phenomenal. Ledger made incredible progress, and we could not be happier with his training or the process as a whole. In my opinion, the value of this service far exceeds what they charge. I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training, especially Ashley, to anyone looking for professional, effective, and trustworthy dog training. This was an extremely valuable experience for both Ledger and our family!
