Off Leash K9 Training Woodbridge

I sent my 1 year old German Shepherd to OLK9 Tucson and I couldn’t be more satisfied! My puppy had a good foundation in obedience when I sent her to the 2 week board and train, but she was easily distracted so wasn’t consistent.
After 2 weeks at OLK9 she was able to hold those commands for extended periods of time, every time regardless of who or what is going on around her. She even heels at my side when walking in the hallways in my house (without me telling her to!)
I have been telling everyone in my German Shepherd group about Off Leash K9 and will continue to do so. I appreciate having the guidance of Cali’s trainer when I need it.
Thank you trainer Joseph Cisneros!

I was a little skeptical before we started the training but it has made a world of difference. After 3 lessons, my dog is a joy to take on walks. After just the first lesson where she learned to come and sit, going to the park was a different experience for us. She learned how to heel easily. Her trainer, Elise, is amazing with her. When I first rescued my pup from the humane society, we had tried incentive training at one of the big pet stores and it didn’t work for us. My dog was just guessing what commands I wanted her to do because she wanted a snack. She always wants snacks. With Off Leash K9 Training, she knows what I want her to do and she does it with confidence. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to better communicate commands to their dog. If you think your dog is not trainable, I guarantee you, Off Leash K9 Training is your solution.

I truly enjoyed this training and so did my dog. We loved the one-​on-​one time with the trainer (who was fantastic, by the way!). My dog loved to go there. By the time we ended all of our sessions (we had 8) he knew where he was when we pulled up and was excited to get inside. It was fun for him and fun for me. I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training for your dog because they not only teach valuable lessons (for both me and the dog) that are necessary in having a well-​behaved four-​legged family member but also because of their professionalism and expertise.

We adopted our dog at a year old, and although she understood basic commands, she has such an independent streak and was having trouble trusting us and her new home. We signed her up for Off Leash and she did very well immediately. The instructors are very patient, and it’s clear they understand dogs and want to invest in helping them improve. We completed the 4 beginner and 4 advanced lesson package and are very happy with the results. Our dog is a Siberian Husky, so for her to do so well off leash is very impressive for that breed. The lessons helped us bond with our new family member, and taught her to trust us and have confidence in herself. We’re able to hike with her and trust her to be off leash, and she has a much better time having a larger range of walking space. We recommend Off Leash because they offer a variety of lessons and behavior modifications for any breed of dog.

Highly recommend. While at first I was nervous with the e-​collar– I learned to use it as a tool. I did the basic + adv package and worked with Garry mainly as my trainer who was awesome! You will find that all of the trainers sincerely care about you learning and take care with your dog. Yes, the cost hurts the wallet — but sooooo worth it! Friends have seen our before and after and are amazed how different –well behaved – our dog is. Don’t hesitate making your appointment — you will be so glad you did!

My wife and I recently completed the basic obedience training sessions with our 1-​year-​old Labrador. Our sessions were held on Fridays at their facility in Woodbridge (flexible scheduling :). Morgan was our trainer for all sessions and was excellent! We were very comfortable with her handling our dog and teaching the commands. We noticed that our dog quickly picked up on the commands and memorized them. We feel that the key is to repeat the commands constantly during home training for at least 1hr a day. Thanks to Morgan and the rest of the Off-​Leash team for everything. We will be back!

The money invested in training your dog with Off Leash K9 Training pays for itself 1,000 times over. I have referred many people to their service because I am frequently asked how my Labrador, Charles, is so well behaved and so attentive.

I am not young, and I live in Southern Ca so obviously unable to get to Va for training! But they have OLK9 trainers in every state. The OLK9 trainer was in LA, a couple hrs from me but we met half way for lessons to save time for both of us. My boy is a standard English Bull Terrier! 75lbs of pure muscle. Typically stubborn for the breed, a Bull Dozer at heart (how he got his name), he had such stubbornness and a jealous streak. If I pet my other dogs he would push them away and attack at times. Wouldn’t listen, was pushy, rude and self centered. I truly love any bully bred but he never made anything easy! The OLK9 training was a god send! He learned to pay attention, listen intently, be patient, and to control his jealousy. He is now 4yrs old and I have to say I believe that training is mostly the trainer and guardian. If you aren’t consistent, patient and continually keep the process going you are only going to teach the dog that the required behavior is not manditory. My beautiful boy is a loving happy fantastic dog that knows I expect his good behavior. Never let them think that you only expect it «sometimes». Any training method will never work with inconsistency.

I could write a short novel in support of OLK9 HQ in Woodbridge! I would trust ONLY these guys to train my dogs. period. There are cheaper trainers that can get you into classes sooner, and many can screw up your dog very badly — there is a reason OLK9 books up 2 – 3 months in advance and the results you get from this training (for you and your dogs) is worth twice the cost to me. I have two rescue dogs with challenging genetics, fear aggression and other issues. My German Shepherd’s breeder is so notorious for «unstable dogs» that I wish I could shut her down. And the Potcake is a survivalist – I literally didn’t leave Turks & Caicos with her until consulting with Nick to find out how early I could sign her up for training. Jaeger (GSD) went through 8 weeks of OLK9 basic and advanced obedience, and continued with detection work. Caico went through the 2 week Board & Train program. So I feel pretty confident that I’ve had a broad spectrum of experience with these guys (and girl) — Nick, Danny, Ciarra, and Tank we worked with most, all bring something different of value and genuinely love the dogs. Nick doesn’t tolerate any less than excellent trainers for OLK9 clients. Nick may be blunt (confident, not rude) but I paid them good money because I respected their time, talent and expertise. Training the dog owners is much harder than training the dogs, and there is so much opportunity for an owner to waste this opportunity (or worse, thoroughly confuse the dog). You have to be willing to pay attention, learn and put in some work practicing what they tell you to work on, or you are absolutely wasting the trainer’s time. Visit their YouTube channel, look at all the before/​after videos and you will be amazed – I can assure you that the results in the videos are real (and fast). Nick and his team are absolute magicians, and there is NO WAY I would ever have a dog NOT trained by them. My family deserves it, and the dogs certainly deserve to have a happy, confident life. Any business that can generate 100,000+ Facebook likes for just one location must be doing something right.

Best decision ever. My 13 month old Weimaraner dog used to randomly listen to me whenever I wanted her to do something and she used to jump on people whenever she met them. 60 lbs of jumping isn’t so great. she almost knocked people over! OLK9 ended the jumping during our first session. Greatly recommend the basic training. I can literally take her anywhere off leash now and have no worries she will do what I say. Six months later and she still knows what she needs to do. Still need to work on her healing… but that takes time. :)

I have a 2 year old Doberman and OLK9 did an amazing job on his training. He used to pull on the leash and drag me along with him, and I couldn’t figure out how to make him walk with me. I think OLK9 training is mostly for the humans so they know how to control their dog. It’s not magic, but their tricks and method seem to work. My Banks is a well behaved dog now and I can now take him on walks at my pace not his. I am truly grateful for their training.

Nick White is the BEST trainer ever. He turned my tiny terrorist of a puppy into a well trained slave. The relief of stress & anexity thats resulted from having Nick train Truffles was well worth the money! I don’t think I could have been happier. Also, we loved getting to know Nick, who as it turns out is one of the most interesting & nice people we’ve met. We plan on having him return to LA to train our other dog!

UPDATE: thank you for the tip. Unfortunately (for me at least) a walk rarely goes by where there is not a squirrel/​bunny/​dog/​something the triggers him. Luckily I can move in November and have started bi-​weekly massages to offset the yanking of my arm constantly. I just wish I would have known before I spent so much money. The staff is great… but there was no benefit for the issue we had.

I came across OLK9 earlier this year after getting my new pit from the PWC Animal Shelter. Layla is my 3 year old monster. Very stubborn, and had ZERO manners when we first got her. I signed up for the 8 lessons (4 basic, and 4 advanced). So far we’ve completed half of our lessons, and it is safe to say we have a NEW DOG. Sometimes I can’t believe the difference that 4, lessons could make. The staff is wonderful, and really genuinely care about your animal! I’m looking forward to the advanced lessons, and the «off-​leash» portion of her training. I can’t wait to be able to take her on hikes, and not worry about her running off.
FYA, if you aren’t willing to put the time in to do follow on training with your dog between lessons, then this isn’t going to work. Make sure you actually continue working with your pup, or sign up for the board and train (even then you should still do follow on training!!). You get out of it what you put into it. If you want a great dog then, you need to be an active member in helping make your dog great!
Don’t let the use of a stimulation collar deter you either! It isn’t hurting your animal! OLK9 isn’t using it at levels where it would ever come close to hurting your dog!
All in all, these guys/​gals are great! Would highly recommend them to ANYONE! Looking forward to my remaining 4 lessons!

I signed up for Basic & Advanced obedience classes at OLK9 and I’ve been impressed at the level of training for both my dog and myself. I have been able to put the time into daily training with my dog Holly and the results are incredible. Working with Nick is great as he gives training nuggets and tidbits to work on at home and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. It’s so empowering to have the confidence that your dog is well behaved and will respond to your commands out in the real world with distractions.

After the two-​week board and train, I constantly get comments about how well-​behaved my dog is. He’s happier because he knows what I want, and he’s so easy to take anywhere. I would recommend this program to anyone with a dog. I see it as an investment in your own happiness and your dog’s. And Nick and his team are fantastic to work with.

great training. Left my dog for the two week boarding and when he came back he was a different animal. I’ll admit that I do not always use the e-​collar but with or without it my dog does everything he’s supposed to. The training they do for dogs are so engrained into the dog that they will always remember it AS LONG AS YOU LISTEN TO THE TRAINERS DIRECTIONS. Will always recommend OLK9 group.
FYSA: you can never trust Unilocal bad reviews. Unilocal is the modern day MOB.

I can honestly say that OLK9 literally changed my life. This training is point on and for life! One of the best investments I have ever made. Other dog training does not work long term. OLK9 DOES!!!

Well isn’t that funny… Nick still can’t call me personally but he can reply to a Unilocal review.
Nick… You should meet my dog. You should see what your training has done to him. I’ve actually been trying to get you to call me back to discuss my displeasure with your company. You should have about 5 emails and 3 voice mails to return. I’ll be waiting!

First off, why is that Mel D review dragging the rating down? She even states they are «VERY successful, they do wonderful» hahaha. Anyways, unreal and amazing results and I cannot stop recommending them to everyone. My dog had SERIOUS FEAR issues and she did the 2 week board and train. Can’t even describe how happy my family is and we see her learn and develop more on the 1^st DAY than the 1^st 2 MONTHS we had her (I’m no pro but experienced with dog training) Even a well behaved dog could benefit greatly from their training. Awesome and personable customer service and people that genuinely care about your animal as much as you do. Special shout out to Tank! Awesome work man!
