I used Off Leash K9 to help me with my dog a Vizsla Weimaraner Mix Willow. I have had her for a little over 2 years now but immediately after bringing her home, it was apparent she had severe behavioral problems. Willow has a history of separation anxiety in addition to reactivity with other dogs. I have spent thousands on her in the last 2 years between trainers, vet visits and medications. We had gained lots of success with medications but it was apparent that she would likely be my only dog in my home for the duration of her life. I came to terms with that reality until I met my now partner who has 2 of his own dogs. As you may have guessed it, the introduction of his dogs and my Willow did not go as smoothly as I would have liked. Which brought me to reaching out to the folks at Off Leash. Willow successfully completed her 2 week board and train a little over 2 months ago. I have nothing but good things to say about every single person I worked with at Off Leash K9. Nicky did Willows board and train, however I had conversations with Laurie and I dropped Willow off at Jacob’s. I’m amazed how close they all work together for the good of these animals. They truly take a team approach to things. Everyone I’ve worked with at this company is amazing, understanding and knowledgeable. Their ability to understand the dog’s brain and their behaviors is mind blowing to me. I can say without a doubt they are experts in their field. We’ve continued with Willows training at home with her and our other dogs and she has done so well. I truly believe Willows success is solely due to the dedication to Nicky. Yes, others most definitely helped, like I said they are a team, but Nicky truly cares for these animals and wants them to be successful. I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise. To be truthful, I was at a point of re-homing Willow or worst yet, putting her down. I am hopeful with continued at home training and the support of Nicky, Willow will stay at home with me the rest of her life. If you were on the fence of spending the money to do the training, do it. It was worth every single cent to be able to keep her. My dog is so much more confident and she actually listens for the first time in her life! lol Thank you to Off Leash K9 and especially thank you to Nicky. I don’t know where we’d be without your help.
