Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

Will my dog hate wearing the e-collar?

Actually, most pups can’t wait to put it on! They soon associate the collar with fun training sessions, outdoor play, and quality time with you (not to mention showing off their skills at local parks). A trained, exercised dog is a happy dog—and a happy Maryland dog is living its best #offleashlife.

Question on Google
How much time per day do I need to train my dog?

We’ll show you how to make training part of your day-to-day routine in Elkridge and beyond. For the first 4 weeks, aim for 30 minutes a day to set a strong foundation. After that, your dog will be impressing your neighbors with their new skills in no time.

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2025-09-21

Community answer · Dinain Acosta · 2025-10-21

Question on Google
Will an e-collar hurt my dog or affect their personality?

Nope! The e-collar is simply a communication tool, custom-fit for your dog. Our methods combine positive reinforcement and gentle guidance—no “shocking” allowed. Your dog will stay the same lovable goofball, just with way better manners (and less leash-dragging on your neighborhood walks).

Question on Google
Where do you train?

Off Leash K9 Training Maryland operates out of our facility at 8150 Lark Brown Rd, Elkridge, MD 21075—conveniently located for local pet parents. We offer flexible scheduling, including daytime, evening, and weekend lessons to fit your busy Maryland life. Our training happens both at our facility and in real-world local settings so your dog learns to listen even with all the distractions Elkridge (and the greater Maryland area) can throw at them. #offleashlife

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
What is an e-collar?

Our "walkie talkie" (aka communication device) uses the same safe technology as TENS units you’d find at a physical therapist. We use the lowest possible stimulation—think “tap on the shoulder”—to get your dog’s attention, not to startle or scare. Our Maryland clients love how quickly their pups catch on, even with the squirrels at Centennial Park taunting them.

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
Will my dog always have to wear the e-collar?

No. Most dogs in our program quickly learn to listen even without the collar, especially at home. We recommend keeping the collar on for local off-leash adventures—whether that’s a day at Patapsco Valley State Park or just your backyard—because you never know when a rogue squirrel or jogger will become the main event.

What sets your training apart from the rest?

Our private, one-on-one training means your dog gets the individual attention they need, right here in Elkridge.

Question on Google
Do they potty train the dogs?

Hi Fanta, While we do require the dogs to be housebroken to enroll in our board and train program our puppy program for dogs 5 months and under does help you set up a good routine with crate training and breaks to be successful with housebreaking.

Community answer · Off Leash K9 Training Maryland · 2019-09-21

No, they expect the dog to be crate and potty trained. Their training is about basic commands on and offleash.

Question on Google
Do you board dogs over night

I don't think so, only the dogs that are in their two weeks boarding training program.

Absolutely amazing! When it comes to trusting a place to board and train your dog look no further than Off Leash K9. When my wife and I were travelling out of country for a trip, we spent countless hours searching for a place to board and train our six month old German Shorthaired Pointer, Avvy, and found the perfect spot in Off Leash K9. They were so helpful and friendly answering all of our questions leading up to our booking date. When we dropped off Avvy with our trainer Tammy they instantly bonded! With the daily report cards, pictures, and videos Tammy posted we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation stress free, even being 14 hours away in another country, knowing Avvy was in great hands. Tammy worked tirelessly everyday teaching Avvy to heel on walks, dramatically improving each day of her stay to the point where Avvy was almost completely off leash heeling. Additionally Avvy's recall improved over the entire week of her stay. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 for any and all of your dog boarding and training needs. We certainly will be returning with our dog for more training in the future. Thank you again Tammy and all the folks at Off Leash K9 for an amazing experience for us and Avvy!

Business response

Thank you so much, Tristan! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such a great experience with Tammy and the OLK9MD team. It means the world to know you felt at ease while away, and we're so proud of the progress Avvy made. We can’t wait to welcome you both back in the future!

Sent my Husky/Pyrenees (stubborn stubborn stubborn) mix here for a two week board and train. Timmy did an absolutely phenomenal job turning the most frustrating animal I’ve ever had as part of my family, into a dog that we can manage and continue to train as he grows. Highly recommend this company and this trainer.

Business response

Thank you so much, Ryan! We’re thrilled to hear about your pup’s progress. Timmy loved working with him, and we’re so glad he’s now easier to manage at home. Keep up the great work!

Unfortunately, this training did not work for my dog Stetson. I explained what issues we had for him before booking the package. My dog’s needs were not met. For example, the trainer said that my dog would be in a crate at all times unless he was training him (with several other dogs). I would never suggest doing this. I took him to the vet after. $3000 for a collar and neglect. Not to mention Timmy asked me to give him a 5 star review; so he could “get more clients”

Business response

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We genuinely care about the well-being and success of every dog we work with, including Stetson. During his time with us, Stetson received individualized attention, with ample training and playtime outside of the kennel environment. All of the training is private one on one sessions with Timmy and were designed to address his unique needs. Training was done alongside other dogs and their trainers was part of our strategy to improve his impulse control and overall obedience by providing essential real-world distractions. Stetson left our facility healthy and happy, and we want to assure you that his care was always a top priority. Consistent follow-through is indeed crucial for maintaining the progress made during training. We provided several opportunities for follow-up lessons to ensure continued support, but it seems they were not attended. We are committed to addressing any concerns you might have and are more than willing to work with you to make the training successful. Please feel free to contact us at your convenience to schedule follow up lessons that are part of your package.
