OLK9 HAWAII

I originally found Off Leash K9 on a Google search. They were the first dog training company that popped up on the island of Oahu. I was skeptical at first, but my wife and I were out of options and needed help. Once the training started my dog was very fearful and could barely go near any people. He’s still scared of people (even regressed a little since his training was completed due to being neutered) but the E-Collar training has definitely been beneficial. It’s a great tool to add along side treats and a clicker if treat training alone doesn’t work anymore. My trainer was Sherry and I absolutely loved her! She was very attentive and understanding of Ace’s people issues and worked with me to make sure we got as much exposure as possible during those outdoor training sessions. So much so, one of the training days was basically just having Ace sit or lay near strangers at the park. It was easy since youth soccer games would take place during my session. If you’re having training issues and are worried about the E-Collar, I highly recommend you give them a try and stop worrying about E-Collar use. The scale for the E-Collar goes from 0-100. While training at or around the house I barely need to go over 4.

Worked with Off Leash for my 15 month old Yorkshire Terrier, Winston. Winston’s Main issues: Fearful Anxiety, mainly Separation anxiety Barks a lot at familiar faces and out of fear We completed the 8-week reactivity and aggression program with the head trainer, Sherry. She works with the dogs in this program so your pup will be in great hands. We learned basic obedience, sit, down, place, and heel. With the obedience commands we worked through his behavior issues and building his confidence. Sherry was super knowledgeable on how to handle Winston’s behavioral issues. She immediately knew what to do when we would come across Winston’s fear and anxiety during training and worked it through. She also provided me with extensive knowledge on how to handle my dog outside of the training sessions. I believe Winston and I are well equipped to take our training even further especially after completing the course. Based on my full experience, I find Sherry and her team at Off Leash to be very credible and trust their judgement. I inquired with another dog training business prior to Off Leash, and they diagnosed my dog with severe aggression and reactivity and would require great muzzle training before meeting a trainer. Their full diagnosis did not sound like my dog. However, when inquiring with Sherry, she concluded that there was no aggression but rather strong anxiety. I was assured by our first session when we didn’t need to muzzle. In addition Winston was not reactive nor aggressive towards Sherry when she handled him. I highly recommend Sherry and Off Leash if your dog has a similar issues like mine, or anyone that’s looking to build a great relationship between human and pup. Winston and I are in much better place now. It has strengthened our relationship and for that I’m most thankful.

Sherry has helped me develop a better relationship with my 2yo corgi. She is very professional and skilled in what she does and she taught me how to read and understand my dog’s actions. She has given me the skills and confidence to reliably handle my dog in various situations. I am most impressed with the behavioral corrections and the off-leash reliability. Best of all, my relationship with my dog has greatly improved and we have a better bond and trust because of what Sherry has taught me. Definitely worth it! I am glad she could provide services in the Kapolei area in a real world environment with distractions to better solidify the training.
