Getting our dog trained was the best decision ever. Off leash K-9 did an amazing job with her. She’s getting better and better everyday. We’re able to walk her off her leash, put her in the place command, have her sit until we give her the release command and more. They really taught her so well. I’m so happy with my pup. She is continuing to blossom. She listens so well to our commands. I have been working on the… Read more

We were honestly really nervous about sending our dog away for a two week board and train. He’s a Belgian Malinois with a lot of drive and definitely not the easiest dog to handle. But right from the first phone call, Rick made us feel so much better. He sent daily updates, videos, and pictures so we never had to wonder how things were going. He already knew some basics but had a few specific areas that really needed work,… Read more
We were honestly really nervous about sending our dog away for a two week board and train. He’s a Belgian Malinois with a lot of drive and definitely not the easiest dog to handle. But right from the first phone call, Rick made us feel so much better. He sent daily updates, videos, and pictures so we never had to wonder how things were going. He already knew some basics but had a few specific areas that really needed work, and Rick got straight to it. He honestly went way beyond what we expected. (Even taught him some extra tricks) I know there are horror stories out there about trainers using harsh methods or dogs coming back “shut down”, but Rick and Off Leash K9 couldn’t have been more different. They kept the training fun and positive, and my dog clearly LOVED working with Rick. When we picked him up, he was calmer, very happy, and noticeably better behaved. He absolutely cares about the dogs he trains.. we’d recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. Read less

Had both of my pups sent to the 2 week board and train, they were great. Sent so many photo updates and catered to what I wanted out of them. They both came back great, the trainer made them feel like they were at home the while time away! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with dogs, old or young.
