I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training, Landon did an awesome job with our wild, crazy, very energetic, fun dog Winston. He sent us updates every night on how well Winston did along with pictures and videos. The pick-up process and reviewing things with us on the commands and how to us the e-collar the correct way was very useful and he knew exactly how to explain it to us to understand easily. Landon made sure to ask if we had anymore questions to ask before we left and if later on down the road if we needed help not to hesitate to ask.

I cannot speak highly enough about the Off Leash K9 program and specifically, our trainer Lauren.
We were at a breaking point with our 1.5 year old hound who was highly anxious and reactive in the house and around other dogs in the wild. Every noise or encounter with strangers or other dogs was met with barking and aggressive behavior and he would not listen to basic commands.
After just 2 weeks with Lauren, we now have a beautifully trained, well adjusted and well mannered pup. We received daily updates and feedback from Lauren during her training journey with our dog and it was evident the time and care she invested throughout. When I met with her to receive Hobbes and his new training regiment, he had a clear bond and trust in Lauren.
Hobbes is now highly responsive to all the commands he was taught and can go on walks without reacting to the world around him. At home he is calm and can seemingly finally relax without being on high alert. We couldn’t be more impressed and satisfied with the results we achieved with Lauren and we now feel we have all the tools we need to maintain this successful result. As someone who was pretty skeptical going into this, I can tell you it is absolutely worth every penny.

I cannot thank Landon enough for taking care of our girl! She was soooo wild and unruly when she went to him! I truly believed that she was going to get kicked out of the program! 🥴Those report cards and videos were amazing and appeased my Mama’s heart! When she would come and run into his arms and give him big bear hugs, I told my husband that she might not want to come back home 😅🤣
Landon, you are genuine and caring! You are patient, friendly and loving! Thank you for giving us our girl who is spunky and full of life but is no longer tearing up our house!
We are one grateful family🙏

Such a great experience!!! We sent our Labrador puppy, Lilly Pad, for 2 weeks for basic obedience training and I am so glad we did! She is listening so well and she has gained so much confidence <3 her trainer was Tyla and she is the best! You can tell she really cares about the dogs and their well being and making sure they are happy while also learning and progressing. Lilly is listening so well, but still has her happy puppy personality! Everyone should do Off Leash K9 training! And ask for Tyla 😊
