Hear From Our Clients

"I was hesitant about using an E-collar at first, but working with Dean at Off Leash K9 completely changed my mind. My dog was already pretty good, but after just four obedience classes, the difference is incredible. He listens better, walks are easier, and we’re both more confident. Totally worth the investment—highly recommend Dean!"

"Dean was awesome! His patience and understanding of dogs was crucial working with my stubborn beagle mix. When I first adopted her, I felt so out of control and clueless and Dean helped so much with this - I feel like I have a whole new relationship with my dog!"

"Dean was a great trainer. When we gave our dog Nala to him she didn’t know anything. After 2 weeks of being with Dean she knew sit, down, come, place, heel and much more. She’s also a lot more calm than before. The program was not cheap but in my opinion it was well worth it. Dean also took 2 hours to explain us every little thing he had done with Nala over the 2 weeks, and we should continue her training."

"We just picked up our girl Cookie from Mandy at Off Leash. I am so impressed with the work that Mandy did with her. She’s like a new dog- actually listens to commands and complies! We humans have also been trained on how to keep up the training Off Leash has started. I can’t wait to work even more with Cookie and even train her on new commands/better behavior. Thank you Mandy and Off Leash!"

"I’ve had two puppies train at Off Leash and both times it was transformative! They set you up with a great foundation and make it easy for you to continue training when you return home. They personalize the training to handle various behavioral needs. Highly recommend."

"Ian did an incredible job. Our dog entered the training as a very stressed out and anxious dog. After two weeks, he came back with actual manners, he knew place, actually listened to us, didn’t bark at everything. This was a real game changer and literally rebooted our dog. Huge thanks."

"This is our second time in the last 10 years going with off leash k9 for our newly adopted pup. We worked with both Erin and Mandy and were very pleased with both. Mandy especially was so very helpful in giving me the confidence I needed to know I could become a good pack leader for our dog. I was so thrilled with Off Leash would definitely recommend them."

"Highly recommend OLK9! We recently adopted a 12 month old pit-mix from Fairfax County who we could not trust to take off leash when we took him outside to play. If you are in a similar situation, OLK9 is the answer. Michelle at OLK9 took him in for a week and performed what I can only describe as a miracle. We can now play with him outside without the fear of running away!"

"Danny was an amazing trainer. Our girl 8 month old Samoyed wasn’t sleeping through the night he crate trained her. She pulled on the leash and chased after everyone and everything she no longer does that and we finally are getting a good nights sleep. She also stopped begging for food and she barks way less that she did before she went to see Danny! Thank you Danny!"
