Testimonials

“We now have a dog that we can enjoy even more because we can take him anywhere. We receive comments all the time on how well behaved he is and no one believes us when he says he is still only a puppy.”
– Liz W.

“Off Leash K9 is a phenomenal program. They delivered excellent results & totally dispelled my initial reservations about e-collar training. He’s the same affectionate pup we fell in love with, but he listens! He loves life & we love him.”
