Highly, highly recommend Ashley and Off Leash K9 Training! Our dog was a rescue and also a large breed, and needed to learn some basics so she can enjoy her time in the office with us. I felt immediately comfortable with Ashley from the moment I met her and knew our dog (our baby) would be in great hands that we could trust. That's a big deal when someone is taking your baby for 2 weeks! We received daily updates with photos and videos! And even after training was complete, we had some follow up questions (because really it's the parents who need the training!) and Ashley was more than happy to continue to help us to set our dog up for success. I can't say enough good things about Ashley and how much she cares about each dog and wants them to be their best, in every environment.

Without a doubt, hands down the best experience ever!! Before training, our dog Benson would not listen to a single command and it was a struggle daily!! We got the chance to work with Jessica and she was absolutely amazing!! She helped transform him completely and was there to answer any questions that we may of had along the way. With her help, Benson now listens and responds instantly to his commands without a problem!! We are able to walk around in high stimulus areas off leash and no longer have the anxiety of taking him out in public. Thank you Jessica for your help!

Ashley’s training was fabulous. She sent us videos everyday to see our dog’s progress and it was obvious that Pip loved her. Ashley is very knowledgeable and very friendly. She conveys information well and is very patient when training the owner as well. We’d do the training again in a heartbeat.
