My wild child destructive puppy and I went through an 8 week training program with Pam and it was a wonderful experience for us! They worked well with my schedule, and the whole team was ready to assist for some issues that required extra assistance and I’ve now got a brave boy who is far less destructive and more secure! Highly recommend! Pam and the rest of the team were also so kind and it’s clear they love all animals.

We did the two week boarding for our 4 year old beagle about four months ago and still have been very pleased with the results. He is a high energy dog that struggles with his confidence and keeping focus. Our dog trainer was Darian and she was amazing to work with. We loved getting his daily updates and seeing how much progress he was able to make in only two weeks. One of Kobys biggest struggles was walking on the leash without pulling and holding his concentration when we gave commands with distractions around. He completed his training with huge improvements in these areas as well as learning some advanced commands and gaining more confidence. We highly recommend this facility and trainer!

We cannot stop recommending Winston-Salem's Off Leash K9 Training to all of our friends! We started off with the 8 lesson package, but ended up swapping to the 2-week board and train about halfway through because of our schedule. The office was very helpful and prorated the board and train to take in account the remaining lesson costs. Our trainer, Darian was AMAZING! She went above and beyond making sure our 2 year old goldendoodle was taken care of while he stayed with her, even cleaning out his ears and giving him a bath before we picked him up. From the first meeting when she was explaining the collar and training program we had such confidence in her professionalism, knowledge, and love for her job and the dogs. Our dog struggles with focusing on his commands, and Darian worked wonders on his duration and follow through.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with the 2 week board and train for our one year old mini schnauzer Willard with Offleash K9!!!!! From our first interactions with the office personnel Tamera, who answered all my questions and concerns, to getting daily updates from Rick our trainer, we did not have any worries about our pup being in the best hands. Willard’s recall and leash manners have improved night and day. My husband and I appreciate all the support at the turnover appointment that we will be able to maintain and continue all the skills our has dog learned. Willard was a good boy before our board and train, not having any major issues, we just wanted to dial in his recall, heel and overall confidence. We could not be more grateful with the results. He is the bestest boy and we so grateful!

We worked with Pam to train our foster, Rufus, with basic manners and commands. Pam was amazing. She demonstrated tremendous knowledge, experience, and kindness. She sent pictures and videos each day and kept us updated on his progress. She has been wonderfully supportive and a great teacher as we continue on the training ourselves. Additionally, Pam showed Rufus so much love while he boarded with her. I knew he was deliciously happy and spoiled with Pam while learning at the same time. Thank you!!!
