Testimonials

“Teddy came back a changed dog. We couldn’t be happier with his training with Sam. We are now clients for life as we will ALWAYS have dogs.”
– Amanda Liscinski

“Our deaf pit/boxer puppy (10 months old) stayed with Sam for a 10 day board and train. We were so happy with the training he received during his stay. He learned several key skills that have really helped us at home. Highly recommend!”
– Abby B

“I went to Off Lease training with my 2 1/2 year old Sheppard. I was very nervous at first because Gunther had a little bit of an attitude problem… By the end of classes my 115 lb GSD was an awesome dog to have around… I highly recommend Jake from Off Leash K9.”
