Absolutely thrilled with our experience at OLK9! We left our high-energy 1-year-old German Short Haired Pointer mix, for a 2-week board & train program, and we honestly got a different dog back, in the best way possible. From day one, the communication from Erica was fantastic. They sent daily videos and updates showing exactly what they were working on (loose-leash walking, place command, and impulse control around distractions). The trainers clearly love what they do and know how to read dogs. Our dog went from pulling like a freight train to walking politely by our side and chilling on his place cot even when the doorbell rings. The go-home lesson was almost 2 hours long and they made sure we understood how to maintain the training. Worth every penny. If you’re on the fence about board & train, do it here. These people are the real deal. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾

Erica was (and still is) our trainer …before training Lily and Otis were unmanageable . We could not take them anywhere, they would whine and bark at everything . When people came over we had to put them in their crate because they excessively jumped on everyone . Now …after a 2 week board and train they are different dogs , Erica has patience the expertise to get them to be better dogs . She worked hard at listening to our needs when it came to behavior . She kept in touch with us daily and sent videos of their progress . And after 4 weeks we can still contact with issues we are having and she quickly responds with tips to get us to where we need to be with them . She Offers refresher meet ups so that we can sharpen our skills, and it’s helped so much. We love taking them out on walks and adventures now! Would definitely recommend Erica with Off Leash K9 training of Delaware to anyone having difficulties with trying to train their dogs

Our Cavalier spent two weeks with Ashley. I received reports on her progress also pictures and videos every evening. Was great to see her improvement during those two weeks. Ashley was a wonderful trainer. Chloe is a more responsive girl. I would highly recommend K9 Off The Leash
