We sent our 7mo Doberman for 2 weeks of training and were so lucky to have Lauren as our trainer. She was the absolute best all around before, during and after training was over. Excellent communication skills and we loved the daily report cards and videos she sent to see the progress made. I’d call her a miracle worker for sure as Atlas was a completely different pup after her training. He has been such a joy to take out… Read more
We sent our 7mo Doberman for 2 weeks of training and were so lucky to have Lauren as our trainer. She was the absolute best all around before, during and after training was over. Excellent communication skills and we loved the daily report cards and videos she sent to see the progress made. I’d call her a miracle worker for sure as Atlas was a completely different pup after her training. He has been such a joy to take out and enjoy off leash! We also could tell how much she loved our boy as well and that made the experience even more special. If you have the chance to request a trainer, she’d be the one!! Read less

LeeAnn was a wonderful trainer for our baby girl Rosie. We were very nervous/anxious and worried pet parents when we made the decision to leave Rosie for a two week board and train but LeeAnn put all our worries out of the way. She is kind and gentle and extraordinarily patient with our sensitive (and very stubborn) rescue dog! Rosie was already a calm pup with good manners most of the time, but we went to k9 off leash to… Read more
LeeAnn was a wonderful trainer for our baby girl Rosie. We were very nervous/anxious and worried pet parents when we made the decision to leave Rosie for a two week board and train but LeeAnn put all our worries out of the way. She is kind and gentle and extraordinarily patient with our sensitive (and very stubborn) rescue dog! Rosie was already a calm pup with good manners most of the time, but we went to k9 off leash to help with her recall when off leash as well as her on leash manners and to polish up her obedience. Rosie came back to us with an excellent grasp of her obedience, no more leash pulling at all and essentially perfect off leash recall. We specifically were worried about the negative feedback of the e-collar effecting Rosie’s sensitive personality, and although she doesn’t like getting the gentle feedback taps- she is getting more and more used to wearing her collar all the time and is starting to realize that we will hold her accountable to listen and follow through with her commands! We don’t ask as much from her as LeeAnn did every day! We are thankful for LeeAnn’s patience and hard work with our stubborn sweet girl! Rosie is doing great and we are practicing every day.

We had an amazing experience with Off Leash k9, specifically with Lauren. She was responsive from day one, met us in our home an instantly made us and our dog feel comfortable. We were initially wary about the use of the e-collar, but she let us try it on ourselves and talked through the philosophy so we were comfortable with its use (and ultimately let us decide if it would be used). Now, our very anxious dog is doing SO… Read more

Now, our very anxious dog is doing SO WELL with the e-collar. We are so grateful for all the time and effort Lauren put into our dog, and can’t recommend her or Off Leash K9 enough! Read less

We signed our 1-year-old lab up for the 2-week board-and-train program. It was a bit expensive for us, but we felt it was worth it—especially since their pricing seems in line with the national average. You really do get what you pay for. This was a big investment, but one that benefits more than just the dog. I’ll admit, it’s a little tough dropping your dog off with someone they’ve never met. They’re likely confused at first, and that part… Read more
We signed our 1-year-old lab up for the 2-week board-and-train program. It was a bit expensive for us, but we felt it was worth it—especially since their pricing seems in line with the national average. You really do get what you pay for. This was a big investment, but one that benefits more than just the dog.
I’ll admit, it’s a little tough dropping your dog off with someone they’ve never met. They’re likely confused at first, and that part isn’t easy. But you have to push through that because it’s only temporary.
About a week before training started, I spoke with the trainer on the phone for at least half an hour. I went over everything about my dog and what our goals were. I also asked what the first day would look like for her in a completely new environment. LeeAnn explained that the first day isn’t really focused on formal training. Instead, it’s about building trust—helping the dog feel comfortable, safe, and secure with the trainer and the new surroundings.
When we received our daily “report card,” we were pleasantly surprised to see that our dog was already comfortable and had even started some training on her first day with LeeAnn. Each night we got updates showing steady progress. The report cards included details from the day, along with pictures and a video montage. Knowing she was doing well made the whole experience stress-free for us.
Honestly, the dogs get far more attention and enrichment than we could provide in a typical week. She was able to train alongside other dogs and go on outings in the community—much more exciting than being at home while we were at work.
At the end of the two weeks, LeeAnn brought our dog home and spent about 2–3 hours with us going over everything. She showed us how to properly use the e-collar and made sure we understood all the commands our dog had learned.
Overall, it was a great experience. The trainers are clearly true “dog people” who genuinely care about the animals they work with. The two weeks go by quickly, and while the trainers absolutely do the work, it’s important to continue reinforcing the training at home.
This program was a lifesaver for us and really helped establish boundaries for our dog. I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training to anyone looking for professional dog training. We are very thankful for all of LeeAnn's work with our sweet girl and appreciative for checking in with us after having the dog back home for a few days. Things have been going great. Thank you , LeeAnn! Read less

I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training, Landon did an awesome job with our wild, crazy, very energetic, fun dog Winston. He sent us updates every night on how well Winston did along with pictures and videos.
