We adopted Rosie in April 2022 as a rescue at about 9-10 mo old and she is super sweet but was absolutely terrible on a leash, nipped at us, lunged at anything and everything on walks, super high prey drive, tons of barking... You name it. We have two young kids so were somewhat worried for their safety overall as well. We couldn't leave Rosie alone in a room with them.We found OLK9 after trying hopelessly to do weekly training in our home - the scheduling was just a nightmare. We drove 3 hours for the next available OLK9 trainer and it overlapped with a trip we were planning anyway.Rosie did the 2 week board and train with Kerry in NH and she has returned a new dog. I must admit, I was skeptical... But Rosie is such a good listener now, a dream to walk on a leash, and most of the time she is even off leash! I never could have imagined we could have her off leash. We don't have a fenced in yard so this is a real game changer. We go to a local dog park that is not enclosed and it's huge - I have total confidence that Rosie will come when called, as she always does.We are so thankful to Kerry and OLK9 for giving us this new freedom!

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a business that is supposed to help dogs. Unprofessional and rude. my poor dog has never been the same since returning. I would never ever recommend this training group ever

We sent our stubborn but smart, 5-month Bernedoodle to Andrea for the 2 week board and train and are very happy with the results. We know Mo is going to be a big boy, so it was important for us to get ahead on training. After the 2 weeks, he came back calmer, more responsive, less nippy, and a breeze to walk. It finally felt like he was willing to work with us instead of just working for a treat. We were very appreciative of Andrea’s daily updates and felt confident from day one that she would be able to reign in his puppy tendencies. We definitely have the foundation to continue to train him so that everyone is happier at home.

My wild boxer pup certainly gave Andrea a challenge. We are so grateful that she was able to tame her jumping and walking. Thank you Andrea for not only teaching our pup her job but also teaching us how to work with our crazy pup. we are so happy our playful pup got to work with her. Highly recommend the board and train.

Andrea has been amazing with my crazy chocolate lab pup! After just one lesson Andrea taught her to use the brain I thought she was lacking

Andrea was amazing! Our pup cane back a well behaved version of the loving girl we dropped off. We loved the updates and responsiveness of Andrea through the whole process

When we got our puppy Lily, we knew we would want ecollar training for her after a great experience with a trainer for our previous Golden. Andrea was an amazing trainer! We learned so much from her and it was good to train outdoors. Lily is a much better dog for having been through training. She's so much better when greeting people when they come in our home.

We have a very energetic but sweet and loving 2.5 year old rescue pittie who was in need of stronger training and guidance than we knew how to give. We have tried other training programs and they didn’t seem to work at all. Going once a week for an hour wasn’t cutting it for us. And then came Andrea! This training program was the best idea that we have ever had! She made us excited and feel at ease to be sending our baby to a stranger for 2 weeks. We got daily updates and the communication was fantastic. We could see her progress as she was there. You could tell how much experience and passion Andrea has for training dogs as well as a love for all of them! It was worth every penny and would recommend time and time again for anyone looking for training and obedience for their dog of any age! We thought this was going to be amazing but we underestimated just how amazing it was! Thanks Andrea and off leash training for everything!

Andrea was my dog trainer. I sent my dog for the two week board and train due to some agression issues he was having with other dogs. The education and personality that she has makes her an unbelievable dog trainer. Its very refreshing to see someone with so much passion, and it really shows in the results of the training. I was very hesitant to send him away for two weeks. She constantly texted me and sent me videos of him. My dog absolutely loved her. It gave me comfort knowing he was enjoying his time with her. I could not recommend a better trainer than Andrea. I am very greatful for the training and a friendship that grew from this experience.

We are so happy with the progress our 7 mo golden retriever, Lily, has made since we began training with Andrea at Off-leash Training. Despite the fact that we had work travel issues and that she was spayed during our training time (giving us a big chunk of time with no training or practice), she is mastering heel and walking beautifully. We did e-collar training with our previous dog but it wasn’t until she was much older and had a lot of behaviors to deal with. Starting with Lily as a puppy has made a world of difference! Andrea has given us confidence that we can have a lovely, well-behaved dog, even in these ‘teen’ months! Andrea also helped us not be so uptight about Lily’s behavior and that’s made a big difference in our approach to training.

I sent my 5 y.o pittie to board and train with Andrea. I am so pleased with the results! She knew some basic commands before and had some dog aggression. She now follows commands very well and is more calm. She is doing better with other dogs and made two bffs while with Andrea! Andrea always kept me updated during training and continues to be there if I have questions. I'm so thankful for her!

We recently sent our seven month old Rottweiler to Andrea for the two week board and train program. Saying that Fiona (our dog) has completely Done a 180 is an understatement. Andrea was able to turn our do whatever she wants to do, Jump on anything and anyone puppy into a very obedient girl. It's going to take us a few weeks to get comfortable with her commands and collar but we wouldn't have been able to even get to this point if it was not for Andrea and her training. I wish I could give Andrea more stars for her patience and open communication while my baby girl was away. I highly recommend Andrea for any of your dog Training!

We have completed the basic training with our eight month old chocolate lab and started on some expanded training and have been incredibly pleased with the training and the trainer. Andrea has been very patient and kind with us and our pup. After just one lesson our puppy was much easier to manage. I am able to take him on walks without tugging or issues. We went to a picnic with a bunch of people last weekend and he was able to listen and lay there and enjoy the day without Distress. We highly recommend off leash canine training, it has made our time spent with our puppy much more enjoyable as were able to go places with him that we would not have been before.

We can't thank Andrea enough for the work she did with our Truda. When Truda went off to stay with Andrea she was a hyper 1 year old German Shepherd. She returned a relaxed and obedient dog. Prior to training, our four children and I had trouble controlling her on leash. Walking duty belonged solely to my husband. Now, walking her in even the most distracting environments is not a worry. Our family leads a busy life. We are constantly on soccer fields, baseball fields, etc. Thanks to Andrea, Truda is no longer left behind in her crate. She joins in the fun and turns heads wherever we go!
