I rescued an almost 1 yo rottie from the shelter three months ago. While in good health, Maverick did have high anxiety, was a destructive dog, had high energy where he could not turn it off, and just would not listen. He also was exhibiting reactivity to dogs and cars when on a leash and resource guarding (he would snap). I'll be honest, I was close to sending him back to the shelter due to all the extreme behavior issues that in all my years of owning rotties, Maverick's were the worst. (Notice I said were.) Liberty was the trainer we were fortunate to work with and Maverick was with her for the 2 week board and train. Liberty was very communicative and sent videos daily of his progress. I was very skeptical of the results we would see. Very. Maverick came back a changed dog. He's been back for four days now. I have had ZERO frustration with him. Let me repeat that - ZERO frustration. He's not perfect yet but we are on a good path. The training techniques work. He's such a smart dog he knows when he has the e-collar on and when he doesn't. Listening to commands without is hit or miss. BUT when he has that collar on, he listens about 96.7% of the time. I have had to give a few reminders (e-collar) and he immediately obeys the command. I can 'place' him when he's grabbed something he shouldn't have. He stays and I can retrieve the item and redirect him. He sleeps deeply now and is able to turn off the drive. He just seems more relaxed and at ease. He has door manners. He has food manners! So much better food manners that my youngest son watched me feed him last night and his exact words were "holy cow, mom, he kept his eyes on you the whole time!". I'm probably not doing justice to how bad this dog was before training and the change we are seeing. I can't thank Off Leash K9 and Liberty enough for all their work with Maverick. I have a passion for rescuing rotties and they helped to make this rescue a success. That loveable, goofball, squeeze cheese lovin' rottie is going to have an amazing life! Thank you! #MaverickMayhem
I want to give a huge thank you to Denise for taking such amazing care of my Rosie girl these past few weeks! She is truly the sweetest pup, and seeing her progress has been incredible. Since finishing training, Rosie and I have gone on a walk every morning, and she has been doing AMAZING. Before training, she would practically yank my arm off on walks (LOL), but this entire week she hasn’t pulled once! Our walks are so much more enjoyable now—for both of us. We’ve been consistently practicing her commands, and she’s doing so well with everything: staying in place, not jumping, listening to “down,” and even her barking has improved. I also take her to the park in the mornings so we can observe our surroundings together. I love watching her gain confidence as she watches other people and dogs go by. We passed a few dogs on our walks this week, and she handled it beautifully. One person surprised her around a corner, but she stayed calm and focused right back on me. I always make sure to give her lots of praise when she does! Rosie is my best friend, and knowing she was in such good hands means the world. Thank you again, Denise!
Denise with Off Leash K9 was amazing! She had great energy and communication. We are very happy with the results of our working dog. She taught him all the basics and gave us very detailed instructions on how to be successful. In addition, there has been continued contact and communication as questions have come up. You can tell that Denise truly cares for the dogs she trains like her own.
I can’t thank Denise at Off Leash K9 Training enough for her patience, expertise and sharing with me and my 7-month Rosy. As a first time pet mom, I came with almost no experience and of course I had lots of frustrations when My Rosy did not behave the way I imagined or expected. With only 4 basic obedient lessons with Denise, lots of issues had been resolved. Today, I brought my Rosy to do shopping for the first time and she behaved well and now I could loose leash walk her in areas with distractions. She is still a puppy hence gets excited at times but that is acceptable and I believe that when I keep practicing all the tips that Denise told me, we will be fine eventually. I realize that I benefit the most from her trainings more than my Rosy :) I strongly recommend Denise and her trainings to any dog parents out there. You will be happy as well as your dogs, just like me. Thanks again Denise! Ann Nguyen P.S. in this picture is my Rosy doing DOWN and waiting patiently at Petco’s grooming today while mom was talking to the groomer and there were other dogs/people around. Am so proud of her!
My boyfriend and I sent our 6-month-old Doberman-Mix from Saving Grace to Denise for the two-week board and train program, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Throughout the training, Denise kept us updated daily with videos, tips and tricks, and she was always available to answer any questions we had. It was clear that Orzo had an amazing time, and we’ve noticed a huge improvement in his behavior and obedience and we have even received compliments on how well behaved he is! After working with Denise, he has completely transformed and is a much happier dog. Denise is incredibly knowledgeable and you can tell she truly loves what she does. The dogs love her too! During the hand-back, while we only had two hours to learn. she made sure we knew everything needed to maintain Orzo’s training, and we’ve been able to successfully implement it at home. Even after training ended, she has remained available and willing to help with any questions we’ve had. She was able to reveal insights about Orzo (and dogs in general) that we hadn't known, which allowed us to better understand him and work with him more effectively. We will absolutely be back if we ever decide to get another dog and have already recommended it to people we know! If you’re on the fence and reading reviews to make up your mind, this is your sign to do it, you won’t regret it. I highly recommend Off Leash K9, whether you’re considering the full board and train program or lessons.
