They use e-collars and prong collars, which are not necessary for most dogs. You can easily train a dog with positive reinforcement and get better results than using aversive tools. Would not recommend.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Off Leash K9 training. Our 2 year old dog is quite the mix... Australian Shepard, husky, and Rottweiler. He is high energy, stubborn, and has a lot to love to give. He hyper fixated on things and goes CRAZY when people come to the house, but now we know how to handle Ryder in this situations. We were really excited for our two-week board and train, but naturally a little nervous to leave our dog with somebody we didn’t know for so long. Our trainer was Trey. I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. His communication was phenomenal. He answered all of our questions and asked us a ton of questions about Ryder to make sure he had a good understanding of him before he got to work. We looked forward to our daily updates and videos. When we met Trey in person we could tell how much he loved dogs and that Ryder was in good hands. Now that we are done with training, we are SO grateful for this program and Trey. Trey did better than I cold have imagined. I honestly didn’t think Ryder would have been able to get to the point where he could do anything off of his leash and Trey proved me wrong! One of our last videos was of Ryder walking around Lowes in heel for a good amount of time. My mind was blown. I couldn’t believe it was the same dog. Last night my 9 year old son was able to take Ryder for a walk for the first time. Before Trey, Ryder was a puller and difficult to walk. After Trey, Ryder walked up and down the street with my son at heel the entire time. I can’t put into works how excited my son and I were and how much it meant to us. Trey, thank you for everything.
Trey, in one refresher lesson, taught me and the dog all we needed to know to safely walk. This was after two frustrating months of trying a head collar, a belly-band leash, treats … to get her to stop overpowering me and going bananas at birds, dogs, people. We walk as a great team, now. THANKS, Trey

My 7 y/o Border Collie mix dog, Lola, just finished the two week board and train program with Travis. He cared for her as if she were one of his own, which was an incredible relief to someone like myself, as I’d never been away from my dog for more than 4 days. He is incredibly knowledgeable and honestly I don’t think I could have found a better trainer if I tried. Lola, who used to pull me down the street on our walks, can now heel beautifully both on AND off leash, and her off-leash recall is incredible. She also does incredibly well now with the “place” and “wait” command, and her door manners. I was so nervous for Lola to start any of the off-leash training (she used to be an escape artist with no recall) but I could tell through conversations, and the updates and photos/videos I received from Travis that her safety was top priority to him. I was comfortable and felt at ease the entire time she was with him. Dropping off my pup was nerve wracking but Travis was incredibly patient with me from the start. When I dropped her off, he could tell how nervous I was. He sent me photos of Lola two hours later to let me know she was settling in nicely. This was a huge relief for me. I put all my trust in Travis and let him take the lead. He did NOT disappoint. He never missed a daily update, and he sent me detailed information (including photos and videos) about what Lola was working on that day, and what he and Lola would work on next. He spent time going over everything with me when the two week board and train program was finished, and when I had questions the next day (after we were home) he called me and went through them with me, and asked how my pup was doing with everything. I have nothing but positive things to say about him and Off-Leash K9 Training. Thank you, Travis, for your hard work with Lola. This training is invaluable.

Our 3 year old recently adopted great dane needed to learn manners when meeting new dogs due to limited exposure. After his first 3 lessons, plus our working with him at home, we had the foundation needed for camping season to start. By the end of his Dog Aggression plus Reactivity (includes basic), We were comfortable with our teens walking him, taking him to social situations (trunk or Treat, dog friendly establishments, camping, off leash in our yard, etc). When he needed a minor medical procedure done, the vet even commented on the positive change in his behavior. We had such a positive experience that by lesson 5, our adult son had his rescued GSD signed up for school.
