Testimonials
My girl is a rescue and once she got acclimated she thought she was boss. She became a bit overbearing for some of our visitors and given the fact that she is a GSD people tended to avoid her. That’s not the life we wanted for her or our guests! Off Leash K9 was terrific. They met all of our needs. Our girl knows commands and is able to walk without her leash. We also allow her out back to wee and she comes back to the door. Kelsey also suggested we take her out shopping. We’ve hit a few of the dog friendly stores and she did fabulous. She was polite to other customers and listened to commands (even with all of the obvious distractions). This was an awesome training program. We couldn’t be more pleased!

Off Leash training is the best!! We had an initial consultation and signed up for the 4 lessons package. Matt is great! He is patient and warm and friendly. Chance was a different dog after the first lesson. I saw immediate results. An obedient dog is a pleasure but it’s also safer for him. You won’t be disappointed.
– Danette W
We absolutely love this place! I don’t know why you would take your dog anywhere else. Our trainer Cassie is so nice, caring, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. Our puppy Finnigan is literally a whole different dog now! It is, however, important to realize that you have to put in some quality training time yourself and you can’t expect instant results from a lesson if you don’t do your work at home. I have literally been recommending this place to any dog owner I know!!! Finnigan loves coming to his lessons and has fun every time he’s there! This place is awesome and as a dog owner looking for obedience classes you would be making a mistake not to come here.
