Malachi did such a wonderful job with my dogs! They came back happy and well trained. Malachi made sure I had all the training and information I needed to be successful. Highly recommend Malachi and Off Leash K9 training

I cannot put into words how amazing our trainer was with our shepherd Zelda. We knew she was a smart girl, but needed to have her use that big ole brain to her potential and they have done it. She came home this morning and we worked on her commands and she rolled through them like a champ. She was reactive to a deer in the yard I used the command for come and she was instantly by my side and moved right into sit. Currently she is in place position beside her daddy.
Our trainer, Malachi S. worked miracles with our boy Tatsu! In 2 weeks' time, he learned to come, sit, down, place, heel, and load. Malachi was super personable, and explained everything. Great job, highly recommend!

Our adorable pup Sully stayed with Malachi for the 2 week board and train program and we couldn’t be more satisfied and grateful for the experience! We felt so comfortable leaving our baby boy with Malachi after meeting him and the daily report cards with photos, videos and a description update were so helpful to ease our concerns while he was away. Malachi always had wonderful communication and answered any questions we had. When we picked Sully up and did the turnover training, it was such an easy process and incredible to see the progress Sully made! He’s been home for a few days now and we have prioritized his training and have seen a huge difference in his reactiveness. We took him to Lowe’s and Petco and we’re astonished at how well he did meeting strangers/other dogs because before the training we would never imagine being able to do that. Thank you off leash K9 training and Malachi!
