We had our 2 dogs (staffy & mini bernedoodle) trained & boarded by/with Ernie for 2 weeks. The difference in our dogs behavior and mannerisms have made a world of a difference. Our staffy used to not like our mini bernedoodle and now they can coexist and roam in the same room without fear of one harming the other. We are so pleased with the progress they’ve made. It has been an absolute improvement to our home. We highly recommend!!
I had a rambunctious 3 year old hound dog. I was going in for surgery and decided to double up and board her while having her trained. Estivin did an awesome job with Lucy. He kept us informed each day with text messages and videos of her progress. When he brought her back to us on the last day, he thoroughly explained what he had covered in the two weeks. He watched us walk her and worked with us handling her behaviors. He has kept up in asking how she is doing once a week. Overall, we are extremely pleased with Off the Leash and especially Estivin!
Took out 3yr old Staffy to work with Off Leash K9 and let me say, Wow!!! Opted for the 2wk board and train to address impulse control, leash reactivity, and appropriate way of meeting others (no jumping). I cant say enough about the progress and great work that Estivin did with our boy. Definitely recommend Off Leash K9 to help guide your pups to an overall better quality of life! Thanks again, Estivin!
Ive been a dog owner for over 20 yrs, haves had pit bulls, labs and chihuahua, little dogs are crazy jus sayn! Lol but have always been able to train my dogs and we recently got another lab from our breeder. Got him as a puppy and for over a year him and the 3 yr old lab were fine until one day got i. A horrible fight and we decided to get him training. Found this place through Google spoke with the head guy. We talked for over 45 minutes, in the end he made me feel like they could deal with his aggression issue. Before this I spoke to multiple people doing different things but I like there options. They just didn't fit either what we wanted or location. These people have multiple locations to make it easier for you.We chose for a 14 day program of intense off leash on leash and behavior training. Our trainer was absolutely great, liked him from the 1st meet. He was super calm and very professional kept me informed every day with either a video or a message. They take the dogs tonparks and different locations to help them with sounds and leash control. When I tell you he came home calm, without aggression issues with our other lab can walk on a leash with NO pull! It has been great to walk him and take him to Lowes without him pulling or reacting to people or loud noises. Used to tell him maybe 100 times a day to lay down. Now one word if need be and he lays right down. Much more calm and content. He has confidence now and not nervous pr scared. We are definitely thinking about putting our 3 yr old lad in training just because the 1st one came back so well trained. He learned commands that I had not been able to get across. Would recommend theses guys to anyone looking for help with there dogs, big or small! Worth every penny !
We had our Doberman trained by Ernie for two weeks! What an amazing difference. Cosmo is 8 months now and he really does creat at obeying our commands, not getting distracted by other dogs or people and staying within the bound which we place on him. Example: when we have dinner he goes to his place and stays on command while we eat. After dinner, we allow him up on the couch with us to watch TV…he thinks he is a lap dog at 60lbs lol. He also loves ridding in our open jeep and is always well behaved and confident around other animals and people. Ernie did a fantastic job with training Cosmo and us in all his commands. Cosmo is still a puppy, and not perfect at everything, but the training made a world of difference for our family of 2 dogs and 2 cats. Thank you Ernie! Lena and I are very happy with your services and give you our highest recommendation to our friends and family. Eli and Lena Smith
