Real Dog Training Results in Chesapeake

Rated 5 out of 5

We had a great experience!! They took on Bud (even over the holidays) and changed our lives. He's the best dog!! Logan was an awesome trainer and was super responsive and sent updates everyday

Larry’s training was great! My dog got to stay in his home and had lots of interaction with him and his family. In the past, I was fearful to walk my big dog because of her bad habits with leash pulling and lunging/growling at other dogs. Now I walk her fear-free and don’t have to avoid walking by other dogs anymore. I see ongoing improvement in her self-control every time we train. And if I sense her being tempted towards a bad behavior, I now have a systematic strategy to stop it.

This dog training changed our lives. I cannot say enough positive things about the system, the people, and the whole process. Our poorly behaved 5-year-old dog was a beloved member of our family - but was very frustrating. There's no doubt it was our fault. We aren't dog trainers and our follow-through was never good. Larry and the OLK9 team helped us fix that. He worked with us for lessons ahead of our board-and-train, and guided and supported us through the whole process. The results speak for themselves. Our family is no longer frustrated with our beloved pet and he has so much more freedom than he ever did before. Thank you Larry and OLK9! We can't say thank you enough.

I enrolled my Shiba Inu, Jake, with Off Leash K9 for the 2 week board and train and it was transformative for him. Amanda did an incredible job with him and I couldn't be more impressed and happy with the results. Every aspect of the service was professional and high quality. I loved seeing his daily report cards and the open communication with the trainer. The handoff meeting was great and Amanda spent time explaining everything, though I was admittedly distracted by seeing my boy for the first time after his training. I highly recommend this service to anyone wanting to get their dog some training. He is much more well behaved all around, has a sort of confidence about him, and listens when I use the commands. Thanks so much!
