Bud and his team are pretty great. Ryan had our 6 month old Frankie for the two week board and train program, and she came back a very well trained dog. They did keep her for longer than the two weeks, but we appreciated the fact that they went off Frankie's pace, not their own. They never push the dog to do something it's not comfortable doing, and that is a great mantra to have when it comes to training… Read more

They did keep her for longer than the two weeks, but we appreciated the fact that they went off Frankie's pace, not their own. They never push the dog to do something it's not comfortable doing, and that is a great mantra to have when it comes to training dogs in my opinion.
10/10 would work with them again should we ever get another dog. Read less

Bud is hands down one of the best trainers. He took great care of our Cane Corso and kept us informed with his progress the entire time. Our dog came back well behaved and extremely calm especially when we have guests over or walking in the neighborhood. We highly recommend Bud as your K9 trainer in the Pacific Northwest.

Fantastic techniques and equipment. Bud Hancock is one of the most knowledgeable dog trainers I have ever met. My dog is responding very well to the training and I have recommended Off-Leash K9 training to friends in the area. Response from the business is not as prompt as I would recommend them to be, hence my 4 star rating.

Bud is an excellent, hard working trainer that will make sure that your satisfied with your dog's training. He has competitive pricing and is flexible with timing and scheduling. My dog Wini has come a long way with her dog aggression issues since we started with Bud.

It has been a real pleasure speaking with Bud about our 3 year year old GSD. He shared his years of dog training experience, taking time to discuss my dog concerns, etc. I feel confident that our Board and Train program will be successful in addressing her leash reactivity and build her confidence.
