Achieve distraction-proof control that lets your dog thrive at Aquia Landing, neighborhood trails, and waterfront areas without leash restrictions.

Improved Family Safety

A well-trained family dog responds reliably in any situation, giving you peace of mind around children, guests, and other pets.

Stronger Bond

Understanding why dogs do what they do builds a deeper connection between you and your companion through clear communication.

“Words cannot express how thankful we are to Abby and the entire Off Leash K9 Training team. From the very first contact to get information, all the way through pick-up and everything in between, the experience was absolutely amazing!! Abby is truly a miracle worker. Her warm, friendly personality was exactly what our Lily needed, and the bond they built was clear in the nightly updates, which meant the world to us. Being able to see Lily’s progress and happiness each day gave us so much peace of mind. Off Leash K9 Training genuinely cares about the dogs and truly stands behind their work.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our trainer, Abby, was absolutely amazing, and I’m so pleased with the results. We felt completely safe leaving our dog with her, and we knew she was getting all the love and attention she needed. This is actually the second dog we’ve had trained through this company, and once again they did not disappoint. We always get compliments on how well-behaved our dogs are, and it’s all thanks to their incredible training. Highly recommend!”
