Customer Success Stories

Rated 5 out of 5

Bonita Springs

“Off leash K9 training was great! Our dog Bentley ( 1 year old Rottweiler) went for a 3 week training. Our trainer was Dirk. He showed our boy love we couldn’t give for weeks. He took the time to meet and great with us before the 3 week training to gain trust with our dog, as well as our family. He is a different dog after his training and would highly recommend their services to anyone. It wasn’t just a 3 week program, our dog now has a personal trainer for life. Thank you Dirk!”

“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++”
