Off Leash K9 in Winston-Salem , did an amazing job with our puppy! Dave was so great at keeping us updated daily! We had a wonderful experience and love the training. Ares just turned 8 months he is was 84 pounds as of a couple weeks ago. He is such a sweet dog and well behaved! He does not need a leash but for a back up safety we will keep one on him when we are out. We are so proud of him! He is happy to be home, after several weeks away from home being trained! ❤️❤️❤️ He is Exhausted from all of this training and being away from home. He is extra sweet! Lots of love and snuggles! We will take it! Truly Thank you Dave and Off Leash! Very recommended. We are very impressed with the way he listens and behavior. Money well spent!

Our family has a wonderful 8 month old doberman pup that is very active and assertive, highly intelligent and alert. Prior to his 2 week board and train with Dave, he would bark continuously at any guest or visitor, would pull constantly on walks- with younger kids this wasn't ideal at all! He was always up on the counter tops, zooming around the house, jumping on people to greet them, would rush the door at every opportunity and would try to dart off at every distraction when he was outside Although he was really quite intelligent and could follow some basic commands, he lacked the discipline to really follow them all the time. We researched several local companies and compared different training styles and methodologies. My first call in to Off Leash K9 was very comforting and Peggy was kind and patient enough to answer all of our questions. We set up a time to come to their office to meet a potential trainer- Dave and he was just as amazing, was very patient and thorough to answer all of our questions and made us both feel very confident in choosing Off Leash as our provider We dropped off our pup a couple of weeks later(when there was an opening) and each and every day Dave would post an update on training, behavior and let us know how our pup was acclimating to the new environment. Dave was very responsive to any and all questions during the entire process. We have been amazed at the progress our pup has made in only 2 weeks. He is now listening and obeying all of the basic commands without any issues, he can heel walk both on and off leash, can recall, sit, lay down, place, etc. without any issues at all. The fact that Off Leash will also provide a lifetime guarantee if any of the commands start to lose their effect is a massive bonus. I cannot recommend Off Leash and specifically Dave more highly. I have no hesitation in referring anyone to them. Could not have been more impressed.

We were looking for help training our one year old boxer puppy. It was apparent early on that we were not going to be able to properly train our Gus. We actually found Off Leash K9 training close to our home online. After discussion, we decided that we wanted to sign up for the eight week training program that we would attend along with Gus. This was an amazing decision for us and our pup. From the first day, we realized that Pam, our trainer, was in charge and knew what she was doing. She welcomed our involvement in the training of Gus. Pam was precisely tough enough from the first day until the last. We believe that this training program gave us a well mannered, obedient dog that probably would not have been possible before. We only hope that we can continue to keep Gus well trained. He is such a different dog than he was before. Thank you so much, Pam and Off Leash K9 training.

We were so very happy with their 2 week board and train with our first doodle, using them again was a NO BRAINER! It is worth every dime. Different trainer this time and Pam T. is remarkable. She spent about an hour talking with us about what we wanted him to accomplish. She sent pictures every day with notes on how he was doing and what he was accomplishing. When we picked him up she spent all the time we needed for us to learn how to continue with his success. It was obvious Charlie trusted and loved Pam. I am recommending Off Leash K9 Training in Kernersville, NC and Pam Trayer, Trainer
