This is my boy Sire and his amazing trainer Bradley. Sire is a pit/terrier mix that I rescued, or more he rescued me. If anyone has any pit breeds you know how strong willed and energetic they can be. And STONG. Because of my profession as a truck driver, Sire struggled with impulse control and manners. Well Bradley is a professional who has much knowledge about the breed, and in the week he spent with Sire the transformation is incredible.… Read more
This is my boy Sire and his amazing trainer Bradley. Sire is a pit/terrier mix that I rescued, or more he rescued me. If anyone has any pit breeds you know how strong willed and energetic they can be. And STONG. Because of my profession as a truck driver, Sire struggled with impulse control and manners. Well Bradley is a professional who has much knowledge about the breed, and in the week he spent with Sire the transformation is incredible. I no longer have to worry about being drug around on walks. His recall is much better, and he’s learned appropriate social skills. At pick up Bradley also instructed me on better handling techniques to help me to continue with progress. And I’d also like to mention, Bradley made the experience fun for me by keeping me updated daily on how Sire was doing during his training….pictures and videos included. I want my boy to have the best quality of life possible, and with the help of Off Leash K9 we are well on our way. Thanks again Bradley you are truly appreciated! Read less

★★★★★ 10 stars if we could — Bradley McKee is the dog trainer everyone hopes to find
Choosing the right trainer was a huge decision for us. Rito isn’t “just a dog,” he’s a family member. We committed to the two-week board-and-train program with Bradley McKee (Off Leash K9 Training, Wilmington), and after completing week one, we can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dog and our home.
Rito is a 7-month-old pit mix, and we knew training a puppy would be interesting. Before Bradley, we were dealing with leash pulling, jumping on people, barking/reacting around other dogs and people, and a lack of confidence (even hesitating to jump into our truck). We wanted real-world discipline without losing Rito’s fun personality and Bradley delivered. We picked up a fun, loving, engaged puppy who is also disciplined, focused, happier, calmer, and eager to please. Rito’s strengths are now magnified.
Two things truly set Bradley apart. First, he trained Rito in different spots every day, so the training generalized through real-life distractions and new environments. Second, his communication and follow-through were top-tier: texts, videos, and photos throughout the week, plus a detailed final video showing the exact routine he used and the small adjustments to make based on the environment, distractions, and how Rito responds in the moment.
We also felt completely at ease leaving Rito with Bradley because Bradley’s wife is a vet tech by trade, which gave us even more confidence that Rito was in a truly safe, caring space.
Our biggest “wow” moment was the pickup walk-through: Rito responded to our hand gestures and verbal commands—not just Bradley’s. Bradley built a strong bond with Rito without making him dependent on him, which speaks volumes.
Bradley’s demeanor is fun, engaging, and confident; exactly what Rito needed while still being structured, knowledgable and professional. We’ll be reinforcing everything at home and then scheduling week two to fine-tune even more and take Rito to the next level. If you’re considering Off Leash K9 Training, request Bradley McKee. Highly, highly recommend! Read less

We just got our 8 month old lab, Bernie, back from the one week board and train with Bradley and are amazed at the results! The daily communication and videos/photos to review what was being worked on was really appreciated and gave us something to look forward to while our buddy was away. Bernie has learned multiple commands and his behavior has improved tremendously. Bradley went above and beyond in his training services to ensure our pup was thriving and taken care of throughout the week. Bernie was without a doubt treated like royalty while away and that gave us peace of mind. He was very flexible with timing of drop off/pick up to accommodate our busy schedule. We are so happy we decided on the one week board and train and will certainly be recommending to all our friends!!! Read less
