Ashley did an incredible job with Zoey, our 1 year old Husky. We are amazed at the progress she was able to make in just two weeks! Having the two hour class after the two week training was extremely beneficial! Now that the dog is trained, the humans need to keep up with it, so Zoey continues her good manners!

I was skeptical at first when I signed my Rottweiler up for the 2 week board and train. My Oba has a mind of his own. However, Charlie the trainer located in Greenville worked a miracle for me. Oba is behaved now, no more barking at people, trying to attack other dogs and his food bowl aggression is under control. I would recommend this program, Charlie and Off the Leash training to anyone invested in their furry family member. They… Read more

I found OLK9 after vetting some dog training programs in the Columbia area. I first brought my dog, Onyx, in for the puppy training with Ashley, who is wonderful and very knowledgeable about how dogs think and respond to different training methods or situations. Through repetition and positive reinforcement, Onyx and I understand each other better now, where I felt lost on where to begin with her before the program.

I found OLK9 after vetting some dog training programs in the Columbia area. I first brought my dog, Onyx, in for the puppy training with Ashley, who is wonderful and very knowledgeable about how dogs think and respond to different training methods or situations. Through repetition and positive reinforcement, Onyx and I understand each other better now, where I felt lost on where to begin with her before the program. Ashley was also available to answer questions outside of the 1 on 1 sessions whenever I had any doubts.
Onyx is scheduled for additional boarding and training with Ashley in the coming weeks to work on some more advanced training and I know she could not be in better hands after having sessions with her previously and the results that followed. I would definitely recommend Ashley & OLK9 Columbia to anyone looking to train their dogs. Read less

Amber was so talented, she got our 9 month old husky mix to obey!! We did the 2 week board and train option. Completely worth it!! She has come back a brand new dog! Not to say she didn't have her struggles, with Amber and coming home to us, but no complaints whatsoever!! 10/10 highly recommend!!
