Training Results Shared by Our Clients

Rated 5 out of 5

Lehigh Acres

“We HIGHLY recommend this business. Laurin is our trainer and is truly committed to a successful experience. Our 6 month old Malti-Poo spent 2 weeks with her and the results are remarkable. She’s still a puppy but with excellent manners and comprehension of basic commands. We welcome the opportunity to board her with Laurin when we travel. During this time she will benefit from the refresher experience Laurin will provide. I would rate our experience A++”

“What an amazing experience! We have nothing but great things to say about Off Leash K9 Training Naples/Ft. Myers! Our golden Gracie struggled with fear of almost everything new, but Laurin was patient and built Gracie’s confidence daily. It didn’t take long for us to have no doubt we chose the right company and the right trainer. As happy as we were with our experience with Laurin while Gracie was in the two-week board and train program, we continue to be amazed by Gracie’s greatly improved confidence and behavior! She’s growing every day and our family and neighbors are amazed by the results they see in Gracie after just two weeks with Laurin. Thank you Laurin and Off Leash K9 Training Naples/Ft. Myers!!”
