Reviews
I truly can not recommend Lauren at Off Leash enough. There is no words to properly explain how grateful we are for her. We were nervous to take our 6 year old lab to a board and train she is our baby but man am I glad we did it. Lauren is truly the best trainer you will ever meet. She is firstly one of the nicest people but the way she cares and loves your dog and is committed to making them better every day is something you will not find everywhere. Sadie was reactive and excited, Lauren taught her and us parents how to manage that reactiveness and now we can take her places we never imagined possible! The downtown mall for dinner, the park, farmers markets, the options are unlimited. We can walk her without being constantly stressed and anxious! Lauren has stayed in constant communication with me always checking in to see how Sadie and I am doing (again she TRULY CARES). I seriously cannot put into words how wonderful Lauren is and how grateful we are for her and off leash!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

I have nothing but Wonderful things to say about K9 Off Leash! We were first introduced to them through their puppy board and train, which is incredible. They were the one Company who would take our puppy before 12 weeks. With the absolute pleasure of working with LeeAnn, who was our trainer. The experience overall was wonderful from the thorough on boarding to the daily report cards. It became an exciting evening routine for the kids to look at the pictures and watch the videos of LeeAnn training Maggie. Even at 10 weeks it was incredible was she was able to accomplish with her in such a short period of time. k-9 is great and LeeAnn is a rockstar!
My dog Mac always pulled on the leash that you would have to run with him. The trainer LeeAnn Gardner did an absolute amazing job that Mac doesn’t tug or pull at the leash. He stays by my side and focuses on me during our walks. I would recommend anyone with a dog to do this training it is 1000% worth the time and money to send your fur baby to a two week boarding school. The difference before and after will surprise you! 10/10 above and beyond

Landon was just wonderful with Poppy. He built a lovely bond with her and took his cues from her. He trained her well and she is proud of her progress and loves the training. I would highly recommend him as a trainer.
I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training, Landon did an awesome job with our wild, crazy, very energetic, fun dog Winston. He sent us updates every night on how well Winston did along with pictures and videos. The pick-up process and reviewing things with us on the commands and how to us the e-collar the correct way was very useful and he knew exactly how to explain it to us to understand easily. Landon made sure to ask if we had anymore questions to ask before we left and if later on down the road if we needed help not to hesitate to ask.

I would definitely recommend Off Leash K9 for all your training needs. Landon was amazing! He listened to my concerns/problem areas and has corrected them all. He sent report cards every evening with her progress as well as pictures and videos so I could see my girl. He even allowed her to hug him like she did me as he thought it was cute and wanted us to still have that ❤️
On pick up, he made sure to show me her commands and how to correct her properly. He made sure I understood them all before we moved onto the next which was great.
I could not have asked for a better trainer!
Thank you Landon for reigning my girl in and showing me how to continue her training on becoming the most amazing fur baby she can be! I look so forward to being able to take her everywhere with me now 🤗
