Off Leash K9 Training has been a phenomenal experience for us! We have a new male pitbull. Super Loving Cuddle Buddy who then want to Test you nonstop because of his Strong Will.

This caused Lucky to fend for himself and "Grow up" Quick so to speak. Which is why he… Read more
Off Leash K9 Training has been a phenomenal experience for us! We have a new male pitbull. Super Loving Cuddle Buddy who then want to Test you nonstop because of his Strong Will. Backstory:
- Lucky was taken from his Mother too early. He was passed around multiple times as previous owners didn't have the time or patience to put into him. This caused Lucky to fend for himself and "Grow up" Quick so to speak. Which is why he his set in his ways not knowing who his Fur-ever parents would be next month. Well, fortunately for Lucky, he Lucked out! 😂🤣. He now has a stable home. We wanted to get him Obedient sooner than later. Out of all the researching, We chose Off Leash K9 Training. Fast forward 2 weeks later(2/16/2026), We were greeted by a whole new Lucky! Our trainer Carson, cannot be praised enough for his efforts and discipline he instilled into our little boy. I gave 5 stars as they didn't have 100 stars as an option! Thank you Carson! Read less

Very happy with the results from our 8-week course with off-leash. They helped my fiance and I as first time owners, give our 3 yr old rescue Zelda some much needed structure. Our trainer was Scarlett, who did an amazing job from start to finish with Zelda who came from a very traumatic past. I will say you have to take the time to practice what you learn in class with your dog throughout the week. Throughout the course Scarlett… Read more
Very happy with the results from our 8-week course with off-leash. They helped my fiance and I as first time owners, give our 3 yr old rescue Zelda some much needed structure. Our trainer was Scarlett, who did an amazing job from start to finish with Zelda who came from a very traumatic past. I will say you have to take the time to practice what you learn in class with your dog throughout the week.
Throughout the course Scarlett taught us as owners how to communicate with Zelda effectively whether she was going something good or bad, and the results were near immediate. She learned how to hold all of these comands... Sit, come (recall), place, down, heel, and of course "no." And we took time to focus on Zelda's dog on dog reactivity which has really improved since.
If your dog has any types of issues, and you do not know how to fix them.. take this course, request Scarlett if possible, take the time to train them an hour a day in between classes, and i promise they will improve. If you do not have the time to work every day, I would absolutely trust them to board and train my dog. 10/10 recommend to any struggling owner. Read less

I had an incredible experience with Off Leash K9 Training, and I can’t recommend them enough. My dog Whiskey, a 2.5-year-old husky/rottweiler mix, has always struggled with situational decision-making around other dogs. Carson was amazing from day one—patient, consistent, and genuinely invested in helping Whiskey learn how to slow down, think, and make better choices in the moment. Throughout her training, Whiskey picked up a wide range of new commands and skills, and what impressed me most was how confidently… Read more
I had an incredible experience with Off Leash K9 Training, and I can’t recommend them enough. My dog Whiskey, a 2.5-year-old husky/rottweiler mix, has always struggled with situational decision-making around other dogs. Carson was amazing from day one—patient, consistent, and genuinely invested in helping Whiskey learn how to slow down, think, and make better choices in the moment.
Throughout her training, Whiskey picked up a wide range of new commands and skills, and what impressed me most was how confidently she carried them forward once we brought her home. The training truly stuck, which was the most encouraging part for us. She’s calmer, more focused, and noticeably more responsive in situations that used to trigger her.
Carson also took the time to explain the “why” behind each lesson, which helped us reinforce the training properly at home. The communication was fantastic—we always knew what Whiskey was working on, how she was progressing, and what to practice between sessions.
Beyond the behavioral improvements, we’ve seen Whiskey grow more confident and comfortable in everyday scenarios that used to be stressful for her. Walks are more enjoyable, her recall is sharper, and she seems genuinely proud of herself when she nails a command.
Off Leash K9 Training exceeded our expectations, and we’re so grateful for the care and expertise Carson put into Whiskey’s training. If you’re considering structured, effective, and lasting training for your dog, this is absolutely the place to go. Read less

We rescued a 1 year old pit mix, that’s 76 pounds and had been with three families before us. None of the families had trained him, so he had absolutely no manners. A few weeks after we got him I set up the two week board and train with Carson at OLK9 training Chicago. We picked him up today and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! He walks great on a leash now! (before we couldn’t have taken… Read more
We rescued a 1 year old pit mix, that’s 76 pounds and had been with three families before us. None of the families had trained him, so he had absolutely no manners. A few weeks after we got him I set up the two week board and train with Carson at OLK9 training Chicago. We picked him up today and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! He walks great on a leash now! (before we couldn’t have taken him anywhere) This was our families first time trying a board and train so we weren’t real sure what to expect, but Carson sent us daily updates, photos and videos of him which was so nice because we missed him so much! Highly recommend OLK9 training & Will probably use them again in the future. Read less
