Customer Testimonials
“Roger did a great job with our German Shepard pup Eve. She struggled with running off and play biting. After a week board and train she is a more confident and obedient member of our family. He did a great job keeping us updated with daily pictures and videos. Highly recommend the program for anyone looking to instill good behavior. “
Tim LaBarge
“Chance did an amazing job training Kevin! It has been a life changer and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kevin is so well behaved now. He doesn’t jump, no more counter surfing, and no more pulling on walks! His recall is outstanding and he’s able to be outside off leash and I know he will stay close and come to me when I call him. Best money I’ve ever spent! I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much Chance! “
