Off Leash K9 Training, Charlottesville

Lauren was phenomenal. Where do I start? Ollie was always a good boy, just had some behavioral issues with other dogs and men. I was nervous he would never kick these habits. Offleash had me do the hybrid protocol with 4 in person lessons for Ollie to meet Lauren and go over prelim things followed by 2 weeks boarding. She was so informative, personable, enthusiastic and communicated very well. She sent a nightly report card with photos, videos, and updates. I’d recommend her anytime again. Ollie was so well behaved after, it was hard to comprehend. The e-collar is a lifesaver and I cannot thank her enough. She’s available for questions even after the training is done. Also, Offleash has lifelong refreshers if something needs to be addressed. Highly recommend. Worth every penny. Thanks again, Lauren!!

Great experience ! I would highly recommend the two week board and train program. Lauren was an outstanding trainer. My seven month old German shepherd was a handful. I wanted a dog with manners, no jumping, no leash pulling and a calmer behavior. I received daily report cards with an explanation of his training & videos and pictures. So nice to see his progress. Her comments and suggestions are now in my notes. I will continue to refer back to them. Lauren was professional, knowledgeable and a joy to work with both for me and my dog. When we picked Jett up Lauren worked with us for three hours. We learned the commands and are implementing them at home now. She also educated us on the E collar. Off Leash Training, with Lauren, is the best thing I've ever done for a dog ! If you are looking to improve overall obedience this is the program for you and your dog.

We got our boy Bear at around 14 months through a rehoming situation and he was/is the most sweet and gentle dog but had some behaviors instilled in him that were not ideal for his size and was not familiar with commands so we decided to send him to the 2 week training program and luckily he got paired with Malachi here. We brought him home a couple of days ago and he has really shown how far he’s come in just the couple days we’ve been home from training. We couldn’t be more thankful for Malachi and the off leash K9 training program!

Lauren was great with our German shepherd. We had some concerns with reactivity, resource guarding, and recall. After 2 lessons and two weeks of board and train lady had all the tools she needed to be successful. We are super grateful for her being dedicated to ladies success, and how she went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our family (even our 7 year old) knew the rules, commands, and what we needed to do to keep her on the path to being a happy dog that's a well behaved member of society. Lauren continues to check up on us and be available for questions or to help with problems when they arise. We were really hesitant to send our dog off with a stranger and invest the money but I can honestly say it was well worth it and would trust Lauren with any of our dogs in the future

We were lucky enough to experience Rachel Spath’s knowledge of training for a 2 week board and train. Rachel’s positive energy matched the positive outcome we were expecting and received. The term that always comes to mind is “ You Get What You Pay For”. Our Great Dane went from listening every now and then (which is very unsafe when living near a highway) to being able to follow commands at a distance. We are beyond pleased with the end result. We are also loving the fact that we can have refresher classes for life should Freya start returning to her not so great listening ways. We can’t say enough about Rachel for being so fabulous with our Freya! She took care of our GD just as we do and it showed when she retired home from her 2 weeks. We will forever be grateful for all of her hard work, her communication skills during and after training, as well as her continued support. We highly recommend off Leash K9 Training. This is this second time that we have gone through this program. The first was for our German Shepard Dog which had very similar results.
