Off Leash K9 Training, Duluth

We had an amazing experience with our puppy Riff's two-week board and train! The trainer he worked with was Alannah and she worked wonders. Riff now walks calmly by our side, has excellent recall, and is so much more comfortable and confident in his crate. The trainer was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly cared about Riff's success. She also kept us updated throughout the process and gave us the tools to continue his training at home. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Off Leash K9 to anyone looking for a trustworthy and effective dog trainer.

We just completed a 2-week board and train with Off Leash K9 Training, and we could not be happier with the experience. Blake was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From the day we dropped our doodle off, he kept us updated every single night with pictures, videos, detailed progress reports, and explanations of what they worked on that day and what the next steps would be. It really gave us peace of mind knowing how much care and attention our dog was getting. When we picked her up, Blake took the time to thoroughly teach us how to properly use the e-collar, explained the levels he uses in different environments, and made sure we fully understood the commands and training process. He didn’t just hand our dog back and send us on our way — he worked hands-on with us to make sure we were comfortable and confident. We then went outside and practiced everything in real-world situations with distractions like squirrels, people, birds, and other things we normally encounter on walks. The difference in our dog already is incredible. Before training, she wouldn’t even jump into the car on her own and I always had to pick her up. On the way home, I opened the car door and she confidently jumped right in by herself. That alone told me how much confidence and trust she gained during training. Blake was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about our dog’s success. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training to anyone looking for real results and excellent communication throughout the process.

Our dog Basil did both a 1-week puppy and 2-week adult board and train with Alanna, and we are so happy with the results! Basil is much more responsive and better behaved overall. Alanna addressed and helped correct every concern we had before each training session. She also responded quickly to every question we had after training was over. We have noticed a big difference in Basil's behavior after training and are so happy to have had Alanna help train and take such good care of our girl!

I can’t recommend Allanah enough. My 10-month-old Miniature Poodle stayed with her for two weeks for training, and the improvement has been amazing. I wanted him to become more disciplined, safer on walks, and more confident overall, and Allanah truly delivered. Right before drop-off, I had to switch his food because of stomach issues. I explained the situation to Allanah, and she went above and beyond by closely monitoring him, keeping me updated, and making sure he was comfortable until everything improved. That level of care meant so much to me. While I was away from home, she consistently sent video updates and daily summaries, which always made my day and reassured me that my baby was in great hands. What impressed me most is how quickly he learned and retained everything he was taught, especially his extended place/stay command, which we struggled with the most before training. He’s now more confident on walks, responds well to recalls, and needs very minimal correction. I’m incredibly proud of the progress my baby has made and so grateful for Allanah’s patience, dedication, and thoroughness. She also took the time to clearly explain how I can continue reinforcing the training at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners.

We had a fantastic experience with our 11 month old puppy, Daisy. She stayed with Paige, who was so lovely and so good at what she does. We were updated every day with pictures and videos, and she clearly had the best 2 weeks based on her happy expressions (Paige took the pictures I have attached). Before Paige trained her, Daisy wasn’t a bad dog, but she didn’t listen to most commands, only came about half the time when we called her, jumped on people, barked for attention, and was destructive around our house. She’s been back for more than 2 weeks now and is doing so, so well. She’s now the dog we hoped for and knew she could be. Daisy is so much happier because she knows how to settle herself and can be trusted more around our young kids. We enjoy her so much more now, too. We are so grateful to Paige for the many hours she put into helping Daisy learn. I would 100% do the 2 week board and train program again. It was worth the cost and more!
