Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you offer water rescue training for Newfoundlands? Any suggestions of where to find a program locally? Thanks.
Hey there! Unfortunately, we do not offer water rescue training and am unsure if any local training companies do. Maybe check out "Pup n Iron", I know they do some specialty training. -Joe

We can’t say enough about Colby Altman! Diesel went to Board and Train for basic obedience. Diesel is the 3rd GSD we have sent through OLK9 training. The money is absolutely worth it. Diesel is 5.5 months, Chief is 9 and Bo is 7 trained by Robert. We still work with the dogs, they are extremely well behaved. Diesel was like a new dog when he came back. We have referred this training too many of our friends. Thank you, Colby, you Rock!
Off Leash K9 exceeded our expectations with our 3 year old Belgium Malionois/Aussi. She had fun, but also learned so much in the 2 week board and train with Robert. Robert was absolutely amazing! He kept us updated everyday on progress and wellness updates. She was in great hands. 10/10 will be coming again with any future additions to our family. 100% recommend Off Leash K9!

I sent my GSD Milly and my Elkhound husky mix Ingrid to Off Leash due to them fighting. Colby was fantastic! He really knows his stuff and is very gracious in answering all my many questions. The girls are home now answering I feel that I have so much more ability to control their behavior and so much more knowledge. They seem to be more settled now that they have a set of rules to follow. Thanks Colby for an awesome experience. I felt very comfortable leaving my pups in your care!
We have had two dogs go with Offleash board and train and when I tell you, our dogs came home transformed- I mean it. Most recently, Robert was our pups outstanding trainer and helped our 5 month old blossom! Thank you so much!!!
