I trained my dog coco , a reactive lab/ pitbull rescue with Azrael about a year ago. I chose to do a 9 lesson session program and I am so thankful I did. Azrael was very patient and professional during our sessions and very accommodating to my busy schedule. I noticed a big difference in cocos reactivity, and I feel like I better understand her needs which makes our bond stronger. Even upon completing training, Azrael has stayed in touch… Read more
I trained my dog coco , a reactive lab/ pitbull rescue with Azrael about a year ago. I chose to do a 9 lesson session program and I am so thankful I did. Azrael was very patient and professional during our sessions and very accommodating to my busy schedule. I noticed a big difference in cocos reactivity, and I feel like I better understand her needs which makes our bond stronger. Even upon completing training, Azrael has stayed in touch and invites us to many group outings and activity’s to keep her socialized and refreshed on her training. He always has the best tips and recommendations and I trust him when it comes to my dogs care. I would recommend K-9 offleash to anyone! Read less

from day 1, August demonstrated genuine care towards my dog and an exceptional understanding of dog psychology. I felt completely comfortable leaving my very anxious dog lucy with him. he provided daily photo and video updates and took the time to clearly explain each step of her training. his communication alone exceeded every expectation I had.

from day 1, August demonstrated genuine care towards my dog and an exceptional understanding of dog psychology. I felt completely comfortable leaving my very anxious dog lucy with him. he provided daily photo and video updates and took the time to clearly explain each step of her training. his communication alone exceeded every expectation I had.
I could tell during her board and train that august was treating Lucy with the same attention and respect he would give his own dogs. He addressed her behavioral challenges with patience, skill, and a level of expertise that was really remarkable and he always made sure I understand why she behaved certain ways and the why behind how i could help her. The improvement in her confidence & my own understanding is more than i could have dreamed of
If you’re considering Off Leash K9, I really cannot recommend August highly enough. He truly went above and beyond.
I don’t just feel like I brought home a new version of my dog — I feel like I came home a brand new man, with a deeper understanding of how to continue strengthening the bond between me and my dog.
I'm looking forward to take advantage of the groups offered and continue helping lucy feel 100% confident in herself 💜 Read less

We did the 2 week board and train for our 4 month old puppy, London. Azrael has such a calm and warm demeanor. He was communicative and thoughtful throughout the entire process. The true test was once London saw him again at a group train she was so excited to see her friend. It really showed how kind and loving his training is. Would recommend to anyone.

Azrael did an amazing job training my dog Coco. From the beginning, he was patient, professional, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Coco responded incredibly well to his training, and we noticed a huge improvement in her behavior and listening skills in a short time. He also took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole process easy for us as owners. You can tell he truly cares about the dogs he works with. I highly recommend Azrael… Read more

Azreal completely transformed Gus into the loving family dog we knew he could be. From day 1, Azreal showed the love and caring towards Gus that allowed him to thrive. Azreal has been there consistently after Gus completed his board and train program. We have met up multiple times for refresher training, including an in home session. I could go on and on with all the wonderful experiences and interactions we’ve had with Azreal!! HE IS THE BEST!!!
