β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Aggression Board & Train

I am floored with the results from OLK9 board & train. Loki has had severe issues with anxiety and aggression, particularly when people come to my door. My jaw is still on the floor after seeing his remarkable transformation. My anxiety-ridden dog who used to bark incessantly and jump on people at my door is now almost flawless with his commands.

We sent our 1 year old golden retriever Cooper to Off Leash K9 for a two week board and train. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout Cooper's stay, always keeping us updated on his progress. Cooper was a changed boy when my trainer brought him home to us! No more running off or disobedience β€” it was hard to believe!

Delaney was his trainer and did a wonderful job throughout the process. I received updates daily along with photos and videos of his progress. Two weeks later he is still obeying his commands when asked and went on his first walk into town off leash. I would definitely recommend Delaney and Off Leash K9!

We are so thankful for the love, care, and attention our miniature labradoodle Roxy received. Our trainer went above and beyond to help us through the two weeks of training β€” she sent pictures and videos, and even came to the house to get Roxy's heart pill when I forgot. She has been a life saver as we venture into parenting a new puppy!

We sent our 2-year-old Doberman Zane to OLK9 Asheville after his over-excitement and strength caused my mom to break one ankle and sprain the other while walking him in the rain. Our trainer was everything we could ask for and more. Zane came home a different dog β€” we can finally walk him without fear of injury.

Caleigh was an amazing intuitive and skilled trainer and my daughter's dog Kali passed her Service Dog training with flying colors. We had a lot of problems with British Airways accepting our dog as a Service Dog. The owner, staff, and Caleigh were so supportive during the process and went above and beyond the call of duty. I think all their trainers are excellent.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed Cosmo up for training with Delaney but I am thrilled with the results. His ability to heel, sit, and stay off makes it possible for me to walk him with his brother Buddy! I received daily updates with photos and videos. If you're struggling communicating with your dog and want your pet to stop jumping on people β€” Delaney's training is the answer.

I have two dogs that feed off of each other's aggression, so when I found Off Leash K9 Training here in Asheville, I prayed this would be the answer. They did not disappoint at all. My dogs are completely different dogs! I am so thankful I am able to take them in public, on hikes again, and camping without fear of something happening.

Eva was Lulu's in-house trainer and she was great. She helped my pup pick up on her basic commands quickly and taught me how to work on making them stick. I have so much more control on walks with my dog after training with Eva. I just became a dog owner for the first time, and I feel much more comfortable with my ability to do it.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Off Leash K9! They took my nervous, timid goldendoodle puppy and turned him into a confident, wonderful listener! Amber was so kind and went above and beyond. He does great on and off leash, in the house, at the dog park, and out in public. If you're on the fence about training β€” DO IT.

I took my 22-month-old Black Lab to OLK9 for obedience training and I am glad I did. Ms. Eva was great with my Barklie. I received videos or pictures of her progress every day for the two weeks she was there. I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training to anyone who wants their dog to be a better pet or working dog.

Nicki with Off Leash K9 was wonderful to work with to train our 5.5-month-old soft-coated Wheaton terrier. Piper needed lots of training with listening. She came home a well-behaved dog and has learned so many new commands. It's amazing that she can walk off leash with the collar and obey all the commands she learned while training with Nicki.

From "Stopped Having People Over" to Flawless Door Greetings

When Aleisha reached out to our aggressive dog training team, her bluetick coonhound Loki had severe anxiety and aggression toward visitors. The barking was so incessant she had stopped inviting friends to her West Asheville home entirely.
