Pam was wonderful to work with! With daily updates and progress reports from their two week board and train program, my girl Penny learned SO much. I’m not longer the one being taken for a walk! Penny had a blast with Pam! Pam was clear on her instructions during the review period after board and train, making what commands and verbiage to use super understandable. If you’re in the triad and your pup is in need of training, I cannot recommend Off Leash K9 enough!

I am extremely dissatisfied with Off Leash K9 Training and feel completely misled. This program was absolutely not worth the money I paid. I was never told upfront that the entire program only consisted of four sessions, nor was I informed that each session would be only 30 minutes long. That information should have been clearly disclosed before taking payment, and it was not. To make matters worse, two of the sessions started nearly 10 minutes late, which means I paid premium prices for even less time than promised. When you’re charging this much, punctuality and transparency should be the bare minimum. This experience felt unprofessional, poorly communicated, and honestly like a waste of money. I am very upset and would not recommend this training to anyone looking for quality, honesty, or value.

We cannot say enough great things about Off-Leash K-9 Winston-Salem—especially Rick. We did the 2-week board and train for our 7-month-old German Shepherd puppy who was pulling hard on the leash, running rampant, and struggling with socialization. The transformation has been incredible. Rick’s thoroughness and attention to detail truly set him apart. Not only did he work wonders with our dog, but he made sure we fully understood the training process and how to maintain consistency at home for long-term success. Our puppy now walks calmly on leash, is much more controlled, and has made huge strides socially—all thanks to Rick’s expertise and dedication. Rick has become our go-to guy for any questions or issues, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about both the dogs and the owners. If you’re on the fence about training or looking for real, lasting results, Off-Leash K-9 Winston-Salem—and Rick specifically—is 100% worth it. Highly recommend.
