Off Leash K9 - Raleigh Durham

Maggie performed magic on our little Bandit. He is a very mischievous, energetic, intelligent, and loving poodle. We had no boundaries and a really hard time with him on the leash and especially around other dogs. When I picked him up after spending two weeks with Maggie, he was a different animal. He’s now much calmer, much more obedience in general, and we have all learned so much. I’m so grateful for all of Maggie’s work. It’s been a great investment and both our dog and our Family. Five stars!10/10!!

I rescued an almost 1 yo rottie from the shelter three months ago. While in good health, Maverick did have high anxiety, was a destructive dog, had high energy where he could not turn it off, and just would not listen. He also was exhibiting reactivity to dogs and cars when on a leash and resource guarding (he would snap). I'll be honest, I was close to sending him back to the shelter due to all the extreme behavior issues that in all my years of owning rotties, Maverick's were the worst. (Notice I said were.) Liberty was the trainer we were fortunate to work with and Maverick was with her for the 2 week board and train. Liberty was very communicative and sent videos daily of his progress. I was very skeptical of the results we would see. Very. Maverick came back a changed dog. He's been back for four days now. I have had ZERO frustration with him. Let me repeat that - ZERO frustration. He's not perfect yet but we are on a good path. The training techniques work. He's such a smart dog he knows when he has the e-collar on and when he doesn't. Listening to commands without is hit or miss. BUT when he has that collar on, he listens about 96.7% of the time. I have had to give a few reminders (e-collar) and he immediately obeys the command. I can 'place' him when he's grabbed something he shouldn't have. He stays and I can retrieve the item and redirect him. He sleeps deeply now and is able to turn off the drive. He just seems more relaxed and at ease. He has door manners. He has food manners! So much better food manners that my youngest son watched me feed him last night and his exact words were "holy cow, mom, he kept his eyes on you the whole time!". I'm probably not doing justice to how bad this dog was before training and the change we are seeing. I can't thank Off Leash K9 and Liberty enough for all their work with Maverick. I have a passion for rescuing rotties and they helped to make this rescue a success. That loveable, goofball, squeeze cheese lovin' rottie is going to have an amazing life! Thank you! #MaverickMayhem <I might need a new tag for posts! It's not mayhem anymore.

I want to give a huge thank you to Denise for taking such amazing care of my Rosie girl these past few weeks! She is truly the sweetest pup, and seeing her progress has been incredible. Since finishing training, Rosie and I have gone on a walk every morning, and she has been doing AMAZING. Before training, she would practically yank my arm off on walks (LOL), but this entire week she hasn’t pulled once! Our walks are so much more enjoyable now—for both of us. We’ve been consistently practicing her commands, and she’s doing so well with everything: staying in place, not jumping, listening to “down,” and even her barking has improved. I also take her to the park in the mornings so we can observe our surroundings together. I love watching her gain confidence as she watches other people and dogs go by. We passed a few dogs on our walks this week, and she handled it beautifully. One person surprised her around a corner, but she stayed calm and focused right back on me. I always make sure to give her lots of praise when she does! Rosie is my best friend, and knowing she was in such good hands means the world. Thank you again, Denise!
