We sincerely enjoyed our training at Off Leash K9 Training in Kernersville. Darian was fantastic! Our little Johnny wouldn't get near her at the 1st visit, but by 4, he let her stroke his back. Very patient and educated in dog behavior. Highly recommend!

Everyone meet shaggy! A sweet 4 year old boy who needed to learn some manners. My mom contacted k9 off leash in kernersville because shaggy didn’t know boundaries. We decided to do the 2 week board and train program. During this time shaggy stayed with his trainer Darian, who he quickly became bffs with!! He learned sit, down, place, door manners, and even walking off leash!!! When we signed up, walking shaggy off leash wasn’t our priority just learning leash manners was. Darian was very upfront that some dogs just can’t walk off leash. But Mr shaggy accomplish it! He did so well he only tried to chase a squirrel twice but listen so well and came right back to focus. I’m so please with how shaggy is doing and the amount of care and communication that was received in the time he was away from us. Y’all went out to buy other foods and hand fed shaggy cause my boy is that picky 🙃 Not to mention we get free refreshment for life! If I ever get another dog, they will for sure go to training here!
Maddie and I trained with Pam and she was awesome. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive compassionate patient trainer not just with Maddie but we me too. I plan on continuing doing follow up training not just for Maddie but for me too. You can’t go wrong with with their services!
