Jim did a wonderful job with our 6 mo old Newfoundland pup. We had a phone consultation and he listened to all of our concerns and developed a plan that would benefit our dog best. He met us half way between Lexington and Louisville for hand offs go make it easier on us. Before we left our pup with him for 2 weeks we could not get him to listen to ANYTHING we said. Picking him up after the 2… Read more

I am so happy to discover this training for my 4 years old Aussie, Zora. Jim is a wonderful trainer that worked with her. I would always jokingly that my dog is a hell spawn but he always shared updates and pictures daily and commented that my dog is so sweet and smart. Zora made a amazing turnout when I saw her behaving and be able to do things off leash which I would never thought even possible! I’m excited… Read more

Before we sent our dog Buddy to Off Leash K9 we could have never gotten this from our boy. Jim did an amazing job with him. Not only did we get a better behaved boy with great foundations for a better life for all of us. Jim kept us up to-date with pictures and videos. Also we love over 2 hours from Louisville where Jim is and he met us half way for both drop off and pick up. Buddy… Read more

I used Brandon at Off Leash K9 to do advanced obedience training for my 10 month old American Bulldog. We worked on tightening up some of his existing skills and adding new ones. It was a great experience and Max enjoyed the training time with Brandon!

Let me start by saying that even for a Malinois/Dutch Shepherd mix, my dog is headstrong and excitable… BUT after two weeks with Brandon, I can see a light at the end of his very long training tunnel! 🙌🏻 Brandon was professional, patient towards Stark (and myself— I had a lot of questions), and most of all, he made a noticeable impact on my dog’s training! Walks are actually enjoyable for both of us now and Stark is able to… Read more
