Our Golden Retriever, Rory, responded so well to the two week board and train option with Daniel Bozard. His family and his own dog welcomed our golden girl with open arms, he worked with her rigorously at the training facility and even took her on field trips around the East Cobb area, and he sent us so many videos and pics while she was with him. We are so grateful to have him as her trainer! I’d highly recommend anyone… Read more

I’d highly recommend anyone who is struggling with their dog to leverage his incredible expertise, patience, and consistency for both us dog parents as well as for anyone’s pet. I have learned so much about my bad habits as well as about my pet’s because of him. Read less

When we first started fostering our puppy, Xanthi, we knew we had our work cut out for us. We brought her home from Fulton County Animal Services with very little information about her behavior, as she was an owner surrender. Right away, it became clear how fearful and shy she was. Something as simple as turning on the TV would send her into a panic, she’d either hide under the bed or retreat straight to her crate. Opening the front… Read more
When we first started fostering our puppy, Xanthi, we knew we had our work cut out for us. We brought her home from Fulton County Animal Services with very little information about her behavior, as she was an owner surrender. Right away, it became clear how fearful and shy she was. Something as simple as turning on the TV would send her into a panic, she’d either hide under the bed or retreat straight to her crate. Opening the front door? She would bolt.
We quickly realized Xanthi was in desperate need of socialization, structure, and a lot of TLC. She had strong fears around strangers, especially men, and displayed fear-based aggression toward other dogs. But despite her challenges, we loved her deeply and saw so much potential in her. Two weeks in, we officially adopted her and began searching for a professional trainer who could help guide her (and us) through this journey.
After calling around and doing a lot of research, we discovered Off Leash K9 and were matched with Anna C. and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
Anna c. went above and beyond from day one. We enrolled Xanthi in the two-week board and train program, and the results were nothing short of incredible. I’ll admit, I was nervous at first about leaving Xanthi with someone we had just met. But Anna immediately put us at ease. She communicated clearly, sent daily video updates, and showed us real progress every single day.
Watching Xanthi transform right before our eyes gave us hope, and excitement for the future.
Before training, Xanthi couldn’t walk on a leash without pulling or getting spooked by every little thing. Now, she walks calmly beside us, even off-leash. She listens, stays focused even around distractions, and best of all, she’s learned how to enjoy the world around her. She’s more confident, less reactive, and even plays well with other dogs now. Anna also helped her overcome food aggression and taught her to respond to basic commands like sit, down, and place even from a distance.
Most importantly, Anna didn’t just train Xanthi, she trained us too. She equipped us with the tools and knowledge we needed to continue reinforcing her progress and support her long-term growth. Because of Anna’s dedication, we’re now able to take Xanthi out and about without worry. She's happier, more confident, and truly thriving.
If you're considering Off Leash K9 Training, don’t hesitate, go for it. And if you can, absolutely request Anna C. You won’t regret it. She changed our lives and helped unlock the best version of our girl. Read less

Amazing experience! Our trainer, Jahi, was experienced, knowledgeable, and kept us updated throughout the process! We signed up our 16wk old mini-bernedoodle puppy for board and train and we’re very happy with the results! He’s improved on his listening, commands, potty-training, crate-training, and leash skills. Jahi also sent us helpful tips and videos everyday, especially helpful for inexperienced puppy-owners like us! We’ll definitely look at returning for more advanced training when our puppy gets older! Thanks, Jahi!

Micheal was amazing from the very beginning to the very end. He was always quick to reply and would send consistent updates, personal videos and statuses about my puppy named Marco. Marco went in like all puppies do, distracted, curious and just doing his own thing. After boarding with Micheal for 2 weeks, he’s still the loving and kind Marco that we love but now with very few simple commands is able to obey. Thank you Micheal again for even… Read more
