Hope for EVERY dog… ANY BREED, ANY AGE, and ANY SIZE. We don’t discriminate, and … German Shepherds, Dobermans, and Pit bulls are a few of our favorite breeds. Have an aggressive dog that no one else could help you with? Have a shy dog that bites out of fear? Have a reactive dog that can’t walk down a street by another dog without going crazy? Have a hyperactive dog that can’t seem to focus on anything? Been kicked out of other obedience classes? Been told your dog is not trainable? Well, we can help! THAT is the difference. WE ARE THE LAST TRAINERS YOU WILL NEED. Dogs are never too old, fat, slow, or hyper to learn using our methods. Aggressive and dogs with confidence issues are our specialty.

What people have asked about this business.
Hello we are getting our German Shepherd in January and I'm looking into and have been referred by several people to you. Love the videos and wondering what type of collar is used during the training.
We use an electronic collar based off tens unit technology. We use ecollar technologies.

We are very lucky to have had Bradley as our trainer for our 9 month old golden retriever June. She is a little ADD and really struggled with pulling, walking on a leash, and paying attention to any of our commands/ instruction. We did the one week board and train and the improvement in June is incredible! Bradley was helpful and informative every step of the way from our pre-drop off call to lots of updates throughout the week - we felt confident June was safe, happy, & in capable hands. At our turnover session I was very impressed at how well June behaved and responded to commands. I got instruction on how to maintain her training and I am glad to know if we run into issues with her in the future, Bradley’s just a phone call away. I am looking forward to having a much more manageable and well trained dog - thank you Bradley!

I can not say enough positive things about our experience at Off Lease K9 Training. Bradley was always so patient answering my hundreds of questions. Oliver took to Bradley immediately. The instructions and advice we were given have helped us tremendously, from day one. I now have insight as to what Oliver is thinking, why he reacts the way he does, and how to handle each situation. Thank you, Bradley!

Kristin is amazing!! I originally reached out interested in a board & train. After talking with Jan she recommended we do a basic obedience with ecollar. We started working with Kristin and I noticed an IMMEDIATE difference in our first week. Not only did my dog’s confidence increase, but so did mine as a first time dog/ puppy owner. Kristin was patient, flexible in scheduling, and took the time to explain everything - why she was doing something, explaining my dog’s behavior, etc. I went in with an 8 month high energy dog who would not settle or listen (despite knowing her commands). I now have a puppy who settles and no longer needs to be crated during the day or enforce naps. THANK YOU Kristin for everything. I can finally snuggle with my sweet girl!!!

I have so many wonderful things to say about Off Leash K9 Training! Our love affair started early December 2023, when I fostered a small dog in hopes of adopting (a foster-adopt situation as I foster a lot). Unfortunately, I quickly realized that my foster-to-adopt had EXTREME separation anxiety. I live in a condo building where complaints had already been made so I set out to find a dog trainer to help. FOUR dog trainers refused to help me given the degree of separation anxiety my dog was experiencing but not Jan (the owner of Off Leash K9)! She said, "of course we can help!" After having felt extreme anxiety since I got the dog, for the first time she gave me hope and relief - what a gift! In the days that followed, it became clear this dog did not thrive in a condo/apartment circumstance and Jan spent 2+ hours on the phone with me trying to figure out which direction to take (without any judgement or shame towards me). It was clear, Jan's not just a dog whisperer but my "fur mom therapist" too ;). Ultimately, I decided (without any influence from Jan or anyone else) that for the health of the dog and my own mental health, rehoming was the best solution, in which I found the BEST home for her.
Fast forward 4-5 months, I have a new puppy and because of Jan's kindness and generosity before (without requiring a dollar from me), she was the first I thought of to help me train.
She connected me with Hannah - a trainer with Off Leash K9. I signed up for a 7-day board and train, immediately after having talked to Hannah on the phone only for a brief time. As I'm writing this today, Hannah just completed my "follow up visit" in MY HOME after our turnover training session last week (in which she did an extensive download of what the dog learned & what I need to continue to be consistent with). I just want to reiterate how PHENOMENAL Hannah is. From a dog trainer stance, 100%, but also from a *human* stance that’s able to resonate with us dog moms emotionally and mentally, and just hear and see us in the somewhat “hard puppy stage” we’re in (or with any dog with any issue). She has been able to hold and support me and my dog through this - physically, mentally AND emotionally - and I am blown away. My dog is night and day from what she was just 10 days ago (even neighbors have commented how calm she is).
Hannah (& Jan and everyone at Off Leash K9) - I could not thank you and recommend you all enough.
Thank you so much for saving my mental health as a new puppy parent & just for being amazing trainers… I appreciate you more than you know 💗🙏
Picture: My little Willow on her new "PLACE" Coolaroo cot which Hannah recommended! This is where she hangs out for hours now when I work... (no running around, getting into things, eating shoes or what not). It's a GOD SEND!

We have a very timid dog and Bradley brought him out of that faster than I would have thought. My biggest takeaway is that if we find Casper misbehaving Bradley taught us what to do. We a forever grateful to Bradley!!!
