We specialize in private lessons, dog behavior consultations, and teaching dog owners to understand why their dogs do the things they do. This training helps create a strong bond between the owner and dog – and without the restriction of a leash. We believe that 98% of all dogs can achieve this high level of obedience: regardless of breed, size, shape, or age!
Our training technique works for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes! The Off Leash K9 Training system is a proven system that changes both owners’ and canines’ lives for the better. Our company includes handlers with experience and training ranging from different branches in the military to rescue and shelter volunteers and even former veterinarian technicians.
We guarantee a 100% obedient, 100% off-leash, and 100% distraction-proof pup at the end of our program! Your dog will be trained to have the same level of obedience as most police/military working dogs.
Working mainly with household pets, we are able to offer you and your pet an exceptional level of obedience, which allows you to bring them anywhere and everywhere with you, hassle-free. What we enjoy most is seeing dogs that have spent their whole life on a leash, now being 100% off-leash and obedient! We thrive off of seeing the joy in both the dogs’ and the owners’ face when they have mastered a new command without the restriction of a leash.
