We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Erica at Off Leash K9 Training! Our 1-year-old black lab, Maisy, is a sweet but very nervous dog, and Erica did an incredible job creating a strong foundation of training that we can continue to build on at home. Throughout the program, Erica was wonderful about communicating with us every step of the way, she sent daily updates, pictures, and videos that showed Maisy’s progress and helped us feel connected to… Read more

Throughout the program, Erica was wonderful about communicating with us every step of the way, she sent daily updates, pictures, and videos that showed Maisy’s progress and helped us feel connected to her training journey.
It’s amazing to see how much more confident and responsive Maisy has become. We now have the tools to help her work through her fears and keep improving. We’re so grateful for Erica’s patience, professionalism, and genuine care for Maisy.
We highly recommend Erica and Off Leash K9 Training to anyone looking to build trust, confidence, and great communication with their dog! Read less

Sent my 2 American Bully pups to Erica and Off Leash and she did an amazing job with them!! My male was already a pretty good listener but would follow in his sister bad footsteps! Now he is more confident to lead himself and not always follow in her bad behavior! While my female wasn’t a good listener when she went by the time I got her back she did a complete 180!! Listens so much better and does almost… Read more

Now he is more confident to lead himself and not always follow in her bad behavior! While my female wasn’t a good listener when she went by the time I got her back she did a complete 180!! Listens so much better and does almost everything I ask of her! Not her fault more of my fault I’m still learning to communicate with them what I want! Over all I would 100% recommend Erica as a dog trainer and Off Leash K-9 training. My pups are doing an excellent job and I couldn’t ask for more!! Thank you very much!! Read less

We had the pleasure of getting our mini bernedoodle “Oki” board and trained for two weeks by Erica. She is an absolutely incredible trainer who treated Oki as if he was one of her own pets (to which she has multiple that your dog will get to interact with). We got daily updates with an in-depth description of what was being worked on as well as multiple photos and videos from Erica every day of our pup. He went there… Read more
We had the pleasure of getting our mini bernedoodle “Oki” board and trained for two weeks by Erica. She is an absolutely incredible trainer who treated Oki as if he was one of her own pets (to which she has multiple that your dog will get to interact with). We got daily updates with an in-depth description of what was being worked on as well as multiple photos and videos from Erica every day of our pup. He went there with some basic training we tried to start at home, but came back a totally new dog! This training is on a whole different level. Not just the sit and down and place and off leash heel walking that they talk about on the website, but he is just a much more confident dog no longer scared of other barking dogs and situations. He also had issues with play nipping before we sent him to training and now has totally stopped that behavior. We can’t recommend enough sending your dog to this 2 week board and train-even as a puppy (we sent ours right at 5 months old). Thanks Erica for doing such a great job with our furry family member.

Erica did a great job with our 10 month old Tree Walker hound mix Tucker. Tucker had several behavior issues that we could not break. After the two week board and train with Erica he is like a new well mannered dog. Erica did a great job communicating every day with pictures and videos of Tuckers progress. I would highly recommend K-9 off leash training for your dog.

Kendra is amazing! She was our Board and Train trainer for our dog, Tiger. Tiger is a 1 year old German Shepherd mix and was generally a really good dog, but had some problems with listening that we wanted to work on. Tiger has made such improvement and we were thoroughly walked through the commands and steps needed to ensure his success in the future. Kendra also sent updates everyday and was just so pleasant to work with. You can… Read more

Tiger has made such improvement and we were thoroughly walked through the commands and steps needed to ensure his success in the future. Kendra also sent updates everyday and was just so pleasant to work with. You can tell she treated him like one of her own dogs when he was with her. This was such a worthwhile investment for our family it even (gasp!) has made me consider getting another dog. We will absolutely be doing Off Leash K9 training for any future dogs and recommending to all of our friends! Read less
