-Max Scherzer, MLB All Star

“Off Leash K9 Training has made my dog amazing! I would highly recommend them.”
-Jon “Bones” Jones, UFC Champion

“Bud is hands down one of the best trainers. He took great care of our Cane Corso and kept us informed with his progress the entire time. Our dog came back well behaved and extremely calm especially when we have guests over or walking in the neighborhood. We highly recommend Bud as your K9 trainer in the Pacific Northwest.”
-Client
