Testimonials

After a few puppy classes and a couple of private training sessions at a local place, I was beside myself. I considered giving up on my black lab, but instead did some research and found Jacqueline. My puppy, who was acting very tough like a high school teenager, was good but very aggressive at home. I decided to ship him off to Jacqueline for a 2 week board and train. Well – he came back to me like a young man. Much more attentive and obedient. Like all sports and competition, it takes time and money to succeed. Dog training is no different! That is why we resort to professionals like Jacqueline! Make no mistake – you must be consistent, confident and remain the Alpha dog in order to reinforce the training at home. Jacqueline is awesome!!!! She goes above and beyond and is readily available. You can always call or email and she will respond to any concerns or issues you may have. I continually praise Jacqueline and the company to family, friends and coworkers for work she has done with my dog. I will definitely send my dog back for advanced training as Jacqueline provides an excellent service!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Off Leash K9 Training! Jacqueline and Off Leash K9 training is the single greatest thing you can do for your family and your dog. The service exceeded our every expectation. Not only did Jacqueline train our dog as advertised, but she continues to keep in touch and help if any issues arise now almost a year since training, exceptional customer service! Not only is Jacqueline a gifted dog trainer. she is also a great person, she will treat your dog as if it were her own. When she tells you that your dog is ready to be picked up that’s 100%, she goes to great lengths to make sure the dog is perfect. The greatest compliment comes from my wife, who not only continues to recommend Jacqueline to every friend who has dog issues or is getting a new dog, but she will tell you that the money we spent to have our dog, Boomer, trained was the best money she has ever spent., worth every last cent! In fact, if and when we get another dog, that dog will literally be immediately dropped off with Jacqueline. We cannot recommend her high enough, your family and your dog will thank you for many years having been trained by Off Leash K9.

Jacqueline is awesome! I brought my 2-year-old German Shepherd to her for advanced training and I couldn’t be happier with my pup’s training. Jacqueline was very patient and thorough in explaining the training approach and how it is effective in helping the dog learn the various commands. I saw a difference in my dog’s behavior right after the first session and was completely off-leash after the second session. The e-collar training program is a safe, effective way to train your pup and Jacqueline is amazing at tailoring it to your specific situation. She was great at working on any issues that needed correcting with my dog such as digging, counter surfing and pulling on the leash. In short, Jacqueline is great for anything you want to accomplish with your dog. You will be amazed at the transformation that happens in such a short amount of time. I’m planning on taking my newly-adopted pup to her for training very soon!
