Arfordable Dog Training
“Off The Leash delivers real, consistent results with daily communication and true real-world training, saving you time, money, and frustration.
I wish I had found Off The Leash first because it would have saved me thousands of dollars and a lot of frustration.
Before Ronnie came here, I had already paid for another board, and, train program. Ronnie already knew her basic obedience commands before she went. We hired them because we needed help with her resource guarding and wanted her exposed to real-life situations and people. She came home knowing how to “place” on a cot, but that was about it. I tried to convince myself it was worth it, but in my heart I never felt like she was getting worked with every day. I received very few videos or updates during her stay, and honestly, it felt more like she spent her time in a kennel than in training. She even came home without her personalized collar and leash.
I also spent a lot of money on private one-on-one lessons with another trainer. Four 50-minute sessions later, I still wasn’t getting the help Ronnie really needed. That company would not do a boarding train, Based off of the results from the first board and train. They didn’t have the confidence in their ability to work with a Dog like Ronnie. They lacked the vision to see Ronnie’s real potential.
Then we found Off The Leash and met Mark.
From the very beginning, it has been a completely different experience. Ronnie bonded with Mark her new trainer almost immediately, and you can see how much he genuinely cares about her. Every single day I get videos, updates, and a summary of exactly what they worked on, how Ronnie did, what they’re building on next, and what I need to know when she comes home. I never have to wonder what’s happening because they keep me involved every step of the way. Ronnie seems happy and right at home with Mark and his whole family. Heartwarming to say the least.
The biggest difference has been the real-world training. Ronnie isn’t just learning commands in a building. She’s going on field trips to busy stores like Lowe’s, pet stores, sporting goods stores, parks, and other places where there are real distractions. She’s learning how to be confident and how to make good choices in everyday situations.
I also love seeing videos of her in their home interacting with their family. Watching Ronnie become more relaxed, more social, and more confident has meant so much to me.
As someone who works full-time, travels for work, and is also a full-time caregiver, I simply don’t have the time to give Ronnie this kind of daily exposure and consistency. That’s exactly why I chose a board-and-train program, and this is the first time I truly feel like I’m getting what I paid for.
I’m actually excited for the leash handover because I know they’re going to teach me how to continue everything Ronnie has learned. They’ve made me part of the process instead of making me feel like someone waiting on the sidelines.
If you’re looking for a trainer, ask questions. Ask how often you’ll get updates. Ask to see training videos. Ask how much real-world exposure your dog will get.
For me, Off The Leash has restored my confidence in professional dog training. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
