We chose to train our new dog Daisy that we adopted from the SPCA with the 8 basic & advanced lessons and it was worth every penny! Our trainer, Monica, was excellent with Daisy and what I loved most about her was that she would explain to us how she was training our dog and also why she would do something a certain way. A lot of times she would comment about how this reinforces some sort of behavior or would boost Daisy's confidence, etc. At one point of our training Daisy didn't take well to the previous lesson (down lesson) and Daisy wasn't receptive to the next training session and was extremely nervous and jittery. Monica picked up on this right away and instead of just charging through, took a step back to assess the situation and told us that this lesson would be free since Daisy wasn't herself and even considered bringing another trainer in. We were extremely appreciative of this gesture and found it to be very considerate and professional. We were a little nervous starting out the training because Daisy is an extremely sensitive and submissive dog, but at the end of the training (which was today) her confidence levels are much higher and she seems to be a much happier dog!!! Daisy is far from perfect but her discipline and manners are getting better every day and we love seeing her progress and growth. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training. We did a ton of research and even met with other companies but we could not have been happier with our choice. read more

Desiree trained our Great Dane, Lady, for two weeks. She was fantastic! We received daily updates, videos and pictures. When I went to pick Lady you could tell that she had developed an affinity for Desiree and had been very well cared for. I could not recommend them enough! Definitely worth the investment. It's great to see that people's passion in their careers shines through the results. Fantastic group of people read more

I was skeptical at first that anything could be done with my 3 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix, and while she didn't learn all of the commands in the 2-week board-and-train, there is definitely a marked and pronounced improvement in her behavior. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Tahra and would definitely recommend her! She was great at communicating with me the entire time my dog was with her for training. I did the 2 week training and my dog came back so much better behaved!! read more

Effective training with very caring trainers. Sadie always placed our sheepadoodle's best interests in the forefront, demonstrated best techniques and coached us to be consistent. She followed up each lesson with email reminders of our 'homework'. Amazed at how big a difference 4 lessons combined with at home reinforcement can make. We have the kind of dog we always wanted. Super attentive, listens well ( for a puppy) and is great on loose leash. Highly recommend! Thank you. read more

We brought our nine month old puppy, Cooper, to Alex and we can't believe the difference in our dog. He was very hard to control and now is very obedient. More importantly, he seems happy to please us with his new, positive behavior! Thank you Alex! read more

Justin is very helpful and kind. He is and will be instrumental in helping my elderly parent with his 10 month old puppy! Thank you Justin for your help and time spent helping our family! read more

If you are like me and are unsure if your pup will benefit from this because, "she already knows all the commands" just do it!! It is totally worth it. My puppy can now focus around distractions, doesn't jump on people anymore, and listens to e v e r y command. OH! & NO MORE LEASH PULLING I started training my goldendoodle at an early age (9 weeks) and she was doing so good until she turned 5/6 months. It was like she had forgot everything she learned & it was impossible to get her to listen to me around distractions. I enrolled her in the 2 week board and training program with Amanda and she is such a good dog now... inside AND outside of the house. Thank you, Amanda! read more

We brought our older dog and our "puppy" in for the board and train. Our older dog had been through a similar program before but we wanted a refresher. We could not be happier with the communication, process, or the results. We would definitely suggest their program and will be using it again in the future. read more

Excellent training. Our golden retriever puppies went there completely untrained and came back vastly improved. I was quite impressed.

This was by far the best decision! I came into this training with my new rescue who had a lack of confidence & basic obedience. My dog was stubborn & challenging at times, but Alex my trainer, was beyond patient & encouraging. He walked through each step & gave me the tools to succeed. I have a completely different dog now in the best way & I'm so happy with our progress. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Alex!! Gus will miss you! read more

Sadie is a caring and genuine trainer. She would send my husband and I detailed updates daily with multiple pictures and videos about Zep. She took the time to meet Zep prior and get to know him and us. She explained everything in detail and made sure we felt comfortable with the e-collar. We know she treated him like her own baby, because when he came back to us he was himself (except better behaved). I feel blessed that we got Sadie as our trainer and would recommend her to everyone. read more

Very friendly team to work with I highly recommend the training they provided. You definitely give them try you won't be disappointed.

Great experience with Off Leash K9! Our Hawthorne is very stubborn and Desiree really understood him and how to train him to listen. We're super happy with the results and highly recommend! read more

First off, upon reading these reviews before purchasing I was skeptical. It literally sounded to good to be true. I own a malinois mix of a dog. She's energetic, sweet, and slightly aggressive. I failed at training her properly which gave me much frustration, I knew she was a good dog I just didn't know how to train her "aggression" (lack of confidence). From the initial appointment, I could already tell this was going to work wonders and it truly did. Best thing I could have ever gotten my dog. She's so much happier and confident in her abilities. She used to bark and react to everything, which I thought was due to aggression but really was her lack of confidence and a little bit of resource guarding which were both worked on throughout all sessions. I did the 8 week aggression training and it really works. You have to work at home with your dog daily to make sure they retain what they've been taught but if you do that you will have a totally new dog at the end! On command my dog will come, sit, and stay until I release her. It's pretty awesome and makes my life so much less stressful knowing I can trust her to be at places or around others and not react. Everyone at Off-Leash was amazing, met a few of the trainers and you could really tell their deep love and understanding for animals. Not only that but they were so knowledgeable and always had tips or suggestions for my dog. My favorite was that they allowed my dog to still be her and have her boundaries (she doesn't like random people petting her) without pushing too hard. Stella's trainer, Desiree, was great! Not only was she personable but she made my dog feel super comfortable and Stella was always super excited to see her. Overall such a great trainer. I loved my experience with Off-Leash, they really know what they're doing out here! I could not recommend them enough! read more

We had our two dogs trained with Off Leash K9 in March, and it has made a world of a difference. They are both large dogs (one a pitbull/lab mix 50lbs 4yo, and the other a shephard/husky mix 70lbs 5yo; both already potty trained), so walking them was an awful chore before they were trained - always pulling on the leash and lunging at other dogs we passed. Each dog went to the 2 week in-trainers-house training with eCollar. We had tried to train them ourselves with a shock collar before but with no success. This 2 week training set them up to understand how to respond to the collar, to walk without pulling and even to walk off-leash! We were very diligent about continuing the training with the collars once we got the dogs back from the trainer - this was very important, as it was clear our dogs were testing us to see if we would be just as strict with them as the trainers were. It was very expensive, but so worth it. Our husky mix used to lunge at other dogs while we walked and has pulled the leash out of my grasp, and now he is very attentive to staying right by our side the whole time. We no longer need leashes when we walk them (although we do still need the eCollar & Remotes to reinforce). We constantly get compliments on how well behaved our dogs are and asked how they can walk off leash obediently - and we always give credit to our Off Leash K9 trainers! read more

Tried calling 3 different times to set up training for my dogs. Apparently there's just one person that will call you back and it usually takes a day or 2 because the phone never gets answered the first time. Each time she said she would text me a time and location a couple of days before so we could have a consultation and of course the text never came. I tried calling to ask and of course there was no answer. I'm sure they would probably do a great job if I was ever able to get started, but it looks like they're just too busy to keep their promises. Pro tip: If you can't take the job, just say so. Ghosting a client after making them a commitment several times makes people lose faith in you. read more

Wow! What an amazing experience Jason and his team (Amanda) were amazing. "Ivy" loves her new training. She now follows proper structure on walks and her leash activity is a lot controlled (when I say lot....meaning a looottt!!). She walks like a completely a new dog. From onboarding to training were a smooth process. read more

We are so happy to have sent our mini goldendoodle ! He is a great walker now and obeys the commands so well. Worth every penny considering the trainer, Amanda, took such good care of him. read more

They did a great job, and it was like I had a new pup when I got him back. I did the two-week board and train, and though it takes a lot of follow-up practice once you get your dog back, the base is there. He is now a well-behaved dog in public that obeys many commands. I highly recommend Off-Leash K9 Training of Houston. read more

I have so much appreciation for Justin at K9 advisors! We had an awesome trainer out of state, so I was nervous to find a new trainer and worried about having inconsistent training for our dogs. However, Justin did an amazing job providing us with training consistent with what we had learned but also vastly increasing our knowledge and skills base. He really helped us to address remaining issues we had with our dog. In our first session, our dog was so unsure of himself and derived confidence from his fur-brother and from us, his parents. It was really sad to see. This confidence resulted in aggression and reactivity to other dogs, and a lot of hesitancy with other people. Just 4 sessions later, I am proud to say he is much more confident, happier, and obedient. As shown in this picture, he was able to lay next to a dog who he just met (brought by off leash K9) in a vulnerable position and be relatively relaxed without showing aggression. This is an incredible achievement and shows significant progress from where we started. Additionally, we had a guest to our house yesterday, and he enthusiastically allowed the guest to pet him and played with this guest, which is vastly different from how he approached strangers previously. Justin's training philosophy is straightforward, and with it, our dog has truly flourished at become the happy, confident little furry being he was meant to be! Training has also helped our relationship and bond with our sweet pup, as he trusts and is confident in us as our leaders. I can happily say that Justin's training helped with his human's confidence in being a good dog-parent too. Although my dogs are small, I have been able to apply skills learned from Justin while volunteering at a rescue to some very large, strong dogs with behavioral challenges for a confident, calm, controlled leash walk. Justin is also kind, honest, and has integrity, making recommendations based on what is actually needed without encouraging unnecessary extra sessions. read more

Just completed my initial interview with the owner and I was honestly blown away. The owner definitely knows his stuff! He's able to develop a training plan for you and your fur baby that will meet your needs, fit in you lifestyle, and ultimately create a better home environment for everyone. You pay your deposit online to reserve your dates and he will work closely with you to meet your desired timeline/schedule. read more

Our pup was a very anxious but lovable Australian shepherd/Poodle mix who had more energy than we knew how to direct. Through a full boarding, our pup came away looking at us for direction and is getting better every day around other animals - we just have to keep reinforcing the training. Highly recommend! read more

The training we received was good, but they didn't complete my training sessions and haven't refunded my money...meh.

Went for a puppy consultation when my Pluma was 9 weeks old and she was anxious and they did SSOOO GOOD at keeping her calm and teaching her place. She is now 6 months old and it's one of the commands she knows best! The atmosphere of the team is one of a kind and I love it. read more

The training was pointless. I didn't have trainers that listened to my needs. My dog only listens when the e-collar is on but I can only use it for a limited time because it irritates her skin. She's had multiple rashes around her neck from it. She knew all the commands in the basic training so the trainers didn't do anything differently than what I was doing at home so I guess I just spent money on learning how to use a training e-collar. I needed help with her focus not basic obedience. I would only recommend this class for beginners. read more

It has been over 6 months since my dogs graduated from this program. I could not be happier with the results! I am constantly getting asked if my dogs were born this way and I refer them to my previous review with a business card. This program is worth every penny. Don't waste money or time going elsewhere. Get it done right the first time! read more

I love Off Leash K9 Training Houston! We had gotten a puppy who was aggressive with our other dogs. We had already gone through a different trainer and we began considering giving the dog away as the previous training did nothing. We decided to try Off Leash K9 Training as a last attempt, and we were glad we did. We are now living happily with our dog and could not see our lives without her. I definitely would use Off Leash K9 Training again with all our future dogs. read more

I could not be more impressed with the training services! We have 4 dogs (3 huskies) who would go crazy when we have visitors over. Add a new baby to the mix and it was chaos. After one week of training we were given the tools to drastically change their behaviors and reduce my stress! I will definitely use them again if I have any other behaviors to address! read more

The sign up process is easy and the trainer was very nice. The training; however, for the cost is lacking. My dog did the 2 week board and train for $2,500.00 and I have not been very pleased with the results. We even paid to have the trainer keep her the next weekend (to work with her more) and nope. The dog does okay with the command of staying in place, but we still have to correct her several times. She still gets aggressive a lot of times and snapped at my son the other day, keep in mind: she's not even 2 weeks out of training. Despite constantly working with her, she's nowhere near where I would expect a professionally trained dog to be. So, if you have a pet and your expecting them to come back completely obedient, this is not the place for you. I've reached out to the company regarding their "guarantee" and it's been pretty vague so far, will update once I know more. read more

We booked one session with off leash k9 training for introduction to the e-collar. Unlike our previous training that was conducted in a 12x12 foot room, we met at a park which simulated real situations. We only had the one session but we were very impressed and are planning on scheduling more. read more

So happy with our experience at Off Leash K9!! Our trainer was patient and great with Sadie, teaching her methods based on positive reinforcement; she really understands dogs and shares great tips on how to help your dog learn good behavior. I highly recommend this service to anyone that wants a happy, healthy and obedient dog! read more

Amazing group of people who transformed my dog in a couple of lessons! Honestly best decision we ever made was training with these guys! We have obedient dogs now that can go pretty much anywhere with us and behave...off a leash! It's wonderful! Training is superb and the people LOVE your dogs and are just all around great to work with! read more

Well where to start, my pitbull went to get train and board and got sick the 1st week she was there. Not sure where she was being kept, but she winded up getting a infection in blood that affected her paws. After taking her to vet and getting a full release it became harder to get ahold of Offleash rep to get her back in train and board program. ( NO COMMUNICATION) They did take my deposit though. It's for the best she Is now in a board and train program with Puptown Houston and loving it read more

These trainers know their stuff! Desiree is our trainer for our girl Bella, and she is awesome!! I cannot recommend these folks enough! I had my concerns because Bella is so hard-headed at home, however the techniques Desiree taught us have worked like magic!! If you have doubts, just keep reading here. You will NOT be disappointed. THANKS OFF LEASH K9 TRAINERS-HOUSTON! read more

They gave a good evaluation of my puppy and what classes would benefit him when he is old enough to attend. They even gave me some great information regarding feeding my puppy. read more

I was hesitant at first, but they really showed the kind of care and expertise that my dog needed. "Hunny" is a Boxer/Siberian Husky mix and can be a bit stubborn. They not only helped her to have the calm confidence needed to be a service dog, but they showed me the proper way to handle and train her. I couldn't offer a higher recommendation. - Loren Combat Veteran - US Army read more

Offleash K9 was great training for our two German Shepherds. It gave them a great start to better behavior and manners. They are still puppies with their moments but a breeze to walk, good door manners, know stay, sit, down, place, come, and heel. We did the two week board and train while we went on a vacation, it was well worth it. We needed a refresher after the first week and the staff drove from Sugarland down to Friendswood to work with us at our house and most of the refresher was teaching us better habits for working with our dogs. The staff is extremely friendly, great with the dogs, and supporters of veterans. I highly recommend Offleash K9. read more

Can't recommend Justin and his crew enough. We got Charlie through his basic classes (we had a couple scheduling conflicts come up which were easily remedied by the staff), and will be back for advanced lessons soon! read more
