Linsey was amazing with our German shepherd! We did the 2 week board and train and she sent updates every night with pictures and video. Drop off was easy and pickup was great as well! Linsey explained everything in detail to where we did not have many questions at all. She made sure we were comfortable with everything before moving on to the next command! She also made sure all of Leia's (our dog) needs were met while showing us what to do as well. Would definitely recommend Linsey and Off Leash Training!

She was patient and thorough in helping us to understand how to continue Maggie’s training after her 2 weeks were up and was there for us with any questions or advice we needed during and afterward.
She kept us updated daily with text messages about their daily lessons, and even sent videos of their trainings, along with lots of pictures!
It was easy to see that this was not just a job, but a way of life for Linsey. We’re so grateful to have found Off Leash K9!
I would highly recommend this facility, and especially Linsey!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Our 3 year old shepherd mix can sometimes be a bit unpredictable around kids, strangers, and small animals, and we had a hard time getting him to listen to us. We did the two week board and train with Linsey and from the very start she made us feel so comfortable that our baby was in good hands! She was so patient and understanding with both us and him. She provided continuous updates that showed his amazing progress, and also that she was loving and caring for him as if he was her own. We couldn’t believe how quickly he was listening to commands, remaining calm in the face of distractions, and trusting Linsey to follow her lead. When we picked him up this morning she was so patient, explained everything to us, walked us through all the commands/motions/etc. and helped us ensure we could keep the momentum going. She really is amazing and we are so happy we did this! Our pup has a new beat friend and we have so much more confidence in him. 10/10!!!!!

My sweet 3 year old ESS Dearie has been home a month now from her 2-week training stay with Corey at Off Leash K9 in Frankfort, Delaware. After an on-premise meeting and opportunity to watch some training, I couldn't wait to sign Dearie up. I asked for Corey as her trainer after watching him go through training routines with another dog. While waiting for her 2 weeks to start, I felt I needed to let Corey know the issues that I was having. I listed everything in a email with all of my concerns. The day I dropped her off, I didn't cry and I wasn't sad because I felt that at the end of these 2 weeks there would be a huge change in her behavior. She jumped, pulled, hated cars, bikes and unicycles and woke up everyday between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m... I could see too many years of constantly saying "no off down no off down" that our relationship might not be an easy one. The nightly reports from Corey and the pictures and videos showed so much progress. I was excitedly sharing the videos with everybody. They were all very impressed with her progress. At the end of the two weeks, it became my turn to go to boot camp to learn how to effectively follow the commands that Corey had been teaching her.
She is home now and every day. I thank Corey for the beautiful job that he did. She is calm and I can walk her on the street knowing that the commands he taught her are ready to be practiced every day with a huge reward of ball playing on the beach.
I am so grateful to have found the team at Off-Leash, K9 and Corey. Dearie is so happy and we're ready to spend years and years together.
And yes .. she still gets up in the 6:00 hour!!
💖Many many thanks Corey!
Anne and Dearie

From the moment I arrived, Rachel and the team did everything possible to make me, and more importantly, my dog as comfortable as possible. As nervous as I was about starting training, they truly understood her and showed me just how quickly a dog can have success with the right training program. I cannot wait for my next lesson as I think I learned even more than Sundae did.
