Rebekah was our trainer. She is amazing! She kept us informed and answered any questions that came up. Her communication and joy for her job made the transition to dropping our dog off and while she had him training for the two weeks. She explained everything throughly during pick up training.
I feel confident in being able to continue training with our dog when we get home because of the confidence Rebekah displays and the open line of communication she gives even after pick up. In the future we will be reaching back out to Rebekah and off leash k9 training for anymore dog training. I can’t thank her enough for all of her assistance.

I’m so glad I went with Off Leash K9 training! Quality training at an affordable price. I enjoyed my sessions and most of all so did my dog. I walked away with the education and confidence to keep up with his training. And Austin was great to work with. Fun, informational, and you can tell he cares about his work. Thank you Austin and Off Leash K9!

Highly Recommend Offleash K9! Our 7 month old German Shepard mix, Dora, did the 2 week board and train with Austin. She used to pull on the leash with nose to the ground and now she walks comfortably beside us. She listens very well now and I can't thank Austin enough for all the help with wrangling our crazy puppy in!

I’m sure the training is great - I would hope so for the prices they’re charging. Just be aware that when you ask for information, you’re going to receive spam every few days. For months. Good luck blocking them.

My family and I brought Quincey; our American staf mix in to work with Rebekah because he would pull the leash, reach for things in our hands and only listen when he knew he would get a treat for doing so. From the start she was great with Quincey, he was already comfortable with her, that helped ease our worries about leaving him with her. She sent us daily updates so we were constantly in the loop. In the videos Quincey was having such a good time and showing improvement each day; was almost worried that Quincey wouldn’t want to come home with us lol. During pick up she was very knowledgeable during any questions we had and was very patient with first time dog owners like us. Rebekah made sure we didn’t leave without being comfortable with all the training and everything else we needed to know moving forward. I would definitley recommend OFK9 and especially to work with Rebekah if able.
