I've had a lot of issues finding a good place to train my dog Zeus for a while, I've struggled with a lot of trainers and always had reservations about committing to another trainer but upon meeting Andrea and seeing how he interacted with my dog, he almost knew already how to communicate immediately the correct behaviors for Zeus, I knew after, that he would be in good hands.
Since his 2 week on boarding I've had a lot more confidence to take Zeus out to places I've always wanted, and not have to worry about any leash pulling or jumping on people.

Andrea trained My Cane corso puppy who is only 9 months old (62kg) for reference. He was reactive towards other dogs and this made me scared and worried to take him out for a walk as he has pulled me across the road many times. As a big dog owner I didn’t feel comfortable taking him anywhere due to the fear I had with him attacking another dog.
Andrea has really changed storms and my life. He was amazing with communication and sent me updates everyday with videos and also educated me on why Storm was acting out, I was worried that he would never be able to change his behaviour and I wouldn’t been able to give him the life he deserves.
Andrea took Storm all around London, to Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and even on the tube, he built Storms confidence and ensured he was comfortable around other dogs.
He went over and above what I could have expected by tailoring the training to Storms needs. He even advised me on his dietary requirements as I was unknowingly over feeding him which would have caused health issues to Storm. He Has given me a lot of insight on the needs of a cane Corso which will definitely improve Storms quality of life.
Storm is a new dog now, very confident and I am no longer scared to take him out. We go to busy places with other dogs and I am confident walking him. I take him to the nursing home to meet residents who adore him. Even they can’t believe how much he’s changed. He is also much happier and healthier, his transformation is amazing to see. Thank you very much Andrea!

Andrea trained my little puppy Dalmatian Lemon recently.
He was recommended to me from a friend who he trained also
I’ve been nervous and anxious about send my little baby away leaving her bigger sister at home without her but she was ignoring me so I had no choice.
I done so my research after my friend recommended them and Andrea. I must have called their offices hundreds of times with anxious questions etc. every time the girls put my mind at rest.
We spoke to Andrea before also and he also calmed me down.
The day I took her I was a mess, I was ready to turn around too but Andrea calmed me down and Lemon bonded with him instantly. I cannot thank or recommend Andrea in higher form then of this recommendation. What stands him apart is not only did he always reply instantly to my messages he send voice notes, daily photos and videos to keep my worrying down, even held lemon up to the camera and waved her paw to me. It’s all these little things that put my mind at rest. Two weeks went by very fast. We went to get her and she was a new puppy
Still got goofy self but more calm and collective and listens
I like the fact that Andrea genuinely bonded with her too, they became besties. Photos of the watching the tv together on the couch at night etc which was a huge bonus for me as that’s what she would have got here.
If you’re looking for a dog trainer then Andrea is your guy. I cannot thank him enough. Lemon misses him yet he still checks in to see how she’s doing
He every day went above what I expected to him and actually I bonded with him too as a result. I felt 100% as ease with my baby being there
10/10 training skills
10/10 communication skills
10/10 bonding skills
10/10 for making lemon feel at home and not caged up
10/10 for keeping me calm
I’m really shocked with his mannerisms and skill set that he’s not running his own business! He is a real asset to K9 training and I would highly recommend him for a promotion (if there is one) and to anyone looking for a trainer, in fact I already have started
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Andrea, you sir are simply a superstar!

I highly recommend Ryan to anyone who wants to train reactive dogs.. My German Shepherd boy Nero, who had behaviour issues is now listening to our commands. There are still few more classes left with Ryan which will help Nero more. The good thing about Ryan is that he is very flexible with the timings..

I booked the '2 Week Reactive Board' programme for my 2 year old Female American Akita 'Stitch', with the trainer Andrea.
My dog had issues with leash-pulling, obedience outside and most importantly her reactivity to other dogs. Prior to the 2 week training Stitch was great at home but completely changed whenever we would walk her. This ruined my relationship with walking her. It always felt like a chore to do it everyday and it was completely exhausting!
I can most certainly say that Andrea has changed my life and Stitch's!
It's as if I received a different dog when I collected her. She heels throughout the journey of our walks and it has made walking her such a fun task. She also listens to every command outside without struggle.
Andrea is extremely knowledgeable with behavioural issues and patterns with dogs. Throughout the programme he constantly updated us on what she was learning and how we can enforce that training, he was so adaptable to my expectations and needs and always would guide us throughout every step of the process.
He has not only made me a happy owner but I can for sure say he has built trust and even more love between Stitch and I.
The results were better than I ever envisioned!
Off-Leash K9 was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Highly Recommend!

Would highly recommend this course to any dog owners looking to achieve great results from 1-1 sessions. Hannah was super friendly and very excited to meet our 6 month golden retriever, and he was very excited to meet her! It was then we knew we had chosen the right course and the perfect trainer!
We got everything we wanted and more, but our 2 main takeaways were being able to go on country walks where he can run free and we can have the security and reassurance that he will come back to us, and the fact that he would come to heal when called and remain at heal, off lead walking home. Hannah listened to our needs and was on hand when we needed advice. She was absolutely great with our pup, and you could instantly tell her love for dogs, she was great.
Thank you hannah! We will will miss our early morning sessions and so will Medivh! And thank you off leash, would very highly recommend!

Andrea exceeded my expectations with Nala (cavoodle). We asked Andrea to work on a few specific things, which he did and more.
I was worried that it would take a while for Nala to warm up to Andrea, but that was not an issue at all. Along with being a great trainer, he was very loving towards her.
We received a daily update with photos on what they worked on, along with lots of commentary. We were always in the loop.
Very very happy with the outcome and will continually recommend the program to all our “dog friends”.
+ she made a new friend!

This is the best thing we've ever done for our family. We had the lovely Dalia train our husky/collie-cross, Tater.
We tried our best to train him to recall for two years. Two years of bringing toys, treats, making weird high pitched noises on every walk and that still wasn't enough. Since we live in the city, we needed him to come back from other dogs and that just wasn't happening.
He's part husky and I believe keeping dogs on leads for their entire lives is cruel. He needs to run around and before the K9 Training the only way we could do that is by driving an hour to an enclosed field.
We opted for the 1-1 individual lessons. And after 4 sessions, spread out over a month and a half, we can proudly say Tater is an off-lead dog! It has changed everything. I used to cry almost daily because of Tater running off or someone being nasty to us in the park because he's run up to them, but not anymore!!
I could ramble on about how Dalia was really patient with us (we were terrified to drop the lead initially) or how our relationship with Tater has improved exponentially, but I won't. I'll just say if you're struggling with your dogs recall or whatever their issues are, definitely give OLK9 a try.

Andrea Biella was my dog's traniner and he's amazing. At the beginning my Frenchie had many issues, such as jumping on people, jumping on other dogs at the dog park, get over excited and doesn't know when to switch the mood.
After spending 14 days with Andrea he completely changed and I did not expect such amazing result. One thing that suprised me is that he took my dog to city hall and walked him off-leash over the weekend. This was something I could never dreamed of.
Obviously we need more time to consolidate the training. Overall, I'm really pleased with result and Andrea treated my dog very well, like his own. I would strongly recommend Andrea to all my friends.

Our 2 year old American Bully was a lock down puppy, and although we did some puppy training with her virtually, this didn't help with lead pulling, recall etc on top of her being very stubborn. As things started to get back to normal, these became more of an issue. I opted for 1 weeks board training with Dorsa who was absolutely brilliant and very considerate to my hesitation to leave Meg for a week. She kept me updated with photos, videos and texts which reassured me that Meg was happy, being the sensitive dog she is!
Since coming home with Meg, walking her is now a pleasure as she doesn't pull and she is generally a lot more calmer. The challenge is for me now to carry on and enforce what Dorsa has taught us. I am considering sending our new puppy for training in the future as I have been very impressed with the results Dorsa has achieved.

We trained with Dorsa in Greenwich. She’s really knowledgeable and gave us a great understanding of how to understand Chewie and how to get him to understand us.
After 2 sessions we were already happy with chewie’s progress. He was listening to us and a much calmer dog and the training gave him a way to output his excess energy.
Would definitely recommend Dorsa to any doggy parent looking to train their little one.
D. R.
I definitely recommend Ryan as a great instructor ?? He has experience in working with dogs and a great approach to them.We could definitely tell he not only train him but also build great relationships with our German Shepherd, Ivo. Ryan gave us many tips on how to teach Ivo and enforce commands. We only just got him back but already seeing huge difference in his behaviour. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Ryan ?? ?? ??

We couldn't be happier! We booked an hour consultation with Hannah, prior to bring home our new Cavapoo. Hannah was super helpful and friendly and equipped us with all the info we needed to start things off the right way! Our pup was sleeping through the night (and no crying) in her crate by day 2! Hannah helped us to find a more suitable kibble for our dog and also advised us on how to prevent and bad behavioural issues from developing. Not only this, Hannah has been super kind and helpful with follow up questions. We couldn't recommend her more and will definitely be back in touch should we need any more help with Millie!
A. H.
Hannah is amazing! Our handsome Doberman very stubborn and Hannah in 4 sessions has changed our lives with him. Recall, walking beside us, loading in the car were all issue ms but now he’s just the best. Thanks Hannah you’re the best 😊 …

It was a pleasure working with Katie to train our 8 months old Samoyed. After the two weeks, she is now much calmer, she’s not pulling on the lead and can even be off leash with distractions, which is something we haven’t imagined it’s possible!
The overall experience was amazing with daily videos and updates from Katie so we can track her progress - thank you so much for everything, will definitely recommend this training to anyone!

Lovely Ryan .. I wish I had found him earlier .. I had two dog trainers before . Total rubbish
We have had only three sessions .. but my second hand rescue dog is now not pulling me . First time after a year .. he is also walking to heel .. Ryan is a total diamond .. he so cares for the dogs .. five more sessions left .. just so impressed I felt I had to post

We had a great experience working with Off-Leash K9 Training. We were struggling with recall and leash pulling with our 2.5-year old French Bulldog. After completing the programme with trainer Andreas Biella, these skills are very much improved and we are so pleased with the results. Highly recommend!
S. P.
We would like to say huge thanks to Ryan, he made an amazing job with our 18 months Husky Axel. He is totally different now like a new dog :). Ryan is a real professional.

It’s no understatement to say that Andrea has been a life changer! When we first met Andrea through K-9, we had hopes that he would be able to help train our 10m old husky but never to the levels that that he has achieved. We thought it would be impossible to correct such a strong puller that had built up such bad habits. But within 15 minutes, he was like a new dog! Andrea has thought us so much and it’s all done with love and respect for our dog. We were nervous about using the e-collar but Andrea reassured us and showed us how it can bring such benefit - all at the lowest setting with no discomfort for our dog. He is patient, understanding and very knowledgeable - a master of his craft! We would have no hesitation leaving our dog with Andrea for an extended period and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is considering training their dog - you won’t find a better (fun & loving) trainer in London! Andrea, thanks for everything - you truly are a magician!

I can’t recommend the basic obedience course enough!! I have tried various training methods for over a year and these weren’t suitable to my GSD Luna. Luna is not treat orientated so getting her to obey clear directions has always been a challenge.
After the first lesson we had with Hannah, I noticed the change immediately. She finally had clear direction and when we went home and put into practice what we had learnt, she was almost a changed dog.
Luna now has perfect re-call, she comes back and sits next next to me every time, she heels really nicely too.
I have recently come back from holiday and I never thought I would be able to take Luna to a pub and that I would be able to have a nice quiet dinner, but this was no problem for Luna at all.
Hannah was amazing during every stage of the course. I can’t recommend her enough. I can now do the things I’ve always wanted to do with Luna, completely stress free.

My 10month old Beagle had resource guarding issues, recall was appalling and off lead walks were a huge no no.
To tackle his aggressive resource guarding I hired a trainer and a behaviourist as my pups behaviour was becoming unbareable, he'd attack other dogs on a daily occasion but also attacked me to the point of leaping and latching on - it was horrible. A friend recommended OLK9 and thought I'd give it one last shot before I think about my pups future with me. I spoke to Kieron who was friendly and he gave me Hannah as a trainer. The locals in my area were sceptical of '2 weeks' to change such aggressive behaviour. Upon pups return everyone was shocked, they couldn't believe how much he had changed and seemed much happier. Hannah did an excellent job with my puppy, from the day he returned home we continued training and he has been off leash ever since, he is no longer aggressive around me and other dogs. It's honestly a miracle! Due to the drastic change in behaviour, it made other dog owners in my area book OLK9. Lots of people stop and ask how I've managed to train a Beagle and OLK9/Hannah is always a point of discussion. A huge thank you for working with us, you have no idea how much you've changed both of our lives.
A. K.
Hannah has changed our lives just within 2 sessions. The remaining 2, we just used to practice what we have learned before. Milo was a very stubborn English Cocker spaniel but he isn’t anymore. He used to pull on the leash soo badly wherever we tried to take him to. These days he walks with us off leash and his behaviour has changed completely, on a good way of course. We couldn’t be more grateful for Hannah’s help, guidance and support. You will be lucky if you manage to book your sessions with her in Roehampton. Once again Thanks so much

Hannah was in charge of my recuse whippet Louie and it has been such a relief to finally see some improvement in a relatively short space of time. I was really worried about not only leaving him , but also I wasn’t entirely convinced anything would help with him running off into the distance towards random things and dogs at 35 miles an hour ! I wasn’t coping with the stress of not being able to get him to come back and having very little control over him - and this has been an utter life saver. He’s come back, still his ever so slightly over enthusiastic self- but the training collar gives me a sense of control- should he want to run away. Things like “heeling” are things I never thought he would do, and he’s doing it all the time! He even heeling past a group of dogs the other day- which is beyond amazing. You naturally have to keep up the work, but I know that we wouldn’t have gotten this far in such a short space of time without Hannah. Hannah and Amy genuinely love the dogs- and the updates and videos were beyond cute - a lot of them made us quite emotional. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again, as they genuinely love the dogs- and I think Louie would have rather stayed there than come home 😂. Thansk for all your ongoing help and support . We are so grateful! Xxxx Louie says he loves you !

My 7 month old beagle puppy had the best time at her 2 week board and train! She was so bad on the lead (pulling constantly) but Dalia managed to get her to heel anytime I am walking her on lead! Guess what, she even heels without the lead! Which I never knew was possible. Don’t even get me started with her recall, her recall was nonexistent (of course as she’s a beagle!) but she comes back now every single time! So glad I sent Nala to Off-Leash K9!!
100% recommend sending your dog to Off-Leash K9 training!

Truly Off leash K9 training saved us. I am so happy that our dogs (Louis and Valentine) got the best training possible. You all helped us so much. Starting from very informative, helpful calls about the course and what could be done for our dogs to help us. And then an absolutely tremendous and knowledge trainer Hannah💕Without her none of it would be possible. It is an absolute miracle that one of our dogs (the anxious aggressive one) learned new ways and behaviour. Our both boys are off leash in the park every day without any problems and the recall is always 100%. I would like to say a big big thank you to you all💕 I can strongly recommend your school as it truly transformed our lives💕
Thank you.
Monika and Phil

I sent Rico, my 18 month old Eurasier, for the 2 week board and train. After watching the videos and reading the reviews, I had high expectations, all of which have been met and more! Hannah was his trainer and she was amazing. Rico generally takes a long time to warm up to people but he took to Hannah really well.
I was sent photos and videos with updates on his training every day. Always laughing but amazed at the progress. I never thought it would be possible for Rico to have the discipline and obedience to walk off-leash on busy streets, but he achieved this within 2 weeks! (previously I would struggle to take him off-leash just in a park because he would run to every dog).
Amazing customer service and training and would highly recommend to anyone. Hannah has been available even after the training and has been checking up on anything we need help with, and on his progress. Thanks again for everything.
C. M.
I highly recommend Dorsa for the K9 Off-leash 2-week training and boarding programme. My puppy, Lili, went for training at 11 months, and Dorsa helped resolve issues such as selective hearing, running off, frequently seeking attention, pulling the lead, mouthing and biting and not coming back when called. Now at 12 months, she’s still herself, but we can keep her safe when going on walks as we can manage distractions with leash walking and walking in the heel position. Dorsa has to be excellent with all dogs; she helped me with Lili’s most significant issue, her recall, and other aspects of her training. Dorsa builds on motivation and excitement in obedience.
P. G.
We would like to say a very special THANK YOU to Ryan! Our boy Bronx stayed with him for 1 week board and train and in all honesty our dog is unrecognisable!!! We been to a lot of trainers but this guy is THE ONE! We are now planning to send our frenchie to Ryan as we think he is the only one who can transform our dog from reactive/anxious to a confident pup. Also a big shout out to Robyn from off leash K9s!!! Thank you guys so much 🙏🏼 Gerda & Patrick

We have just picked our dog (Ralph) a silver Labrador up from Eleanor who worked with him for 2 weeks on the reactive board & train program. Ralph was very hard to walk, and would not respond to his name, or sit or lay down 2 weeks ago.
Today I have taken him for a walk, and he is AMAZING, he walked to heel perfectly through the whole walk, he responds to his name, sits and lays down when told first time, every time, and he comes when called. I can't explain how happy I am with the results, I honestly thought I would only see a slight improvement, but I am amazed how well behaved he is, all down to the fantastic work of Eleanor.
I have just booked our other dog to go in for 1 week board and train with Eleanor (Frankie, our sausage dog) too.
I would highly recommend Off-Leash K9 to anyone based on what they have done for Ralph & our family, it is truly life changing for us to be able to take him out and not worry.
Thank you Eleanor & Off Leash K9 Training London!

My Maltese puppy spent 2 weeks with Ryan and in that time Ryan had taught him to behave incredibly. Kenzo walks with out pulling on his lead, recall is amazing, controlled his jumping up at people and much more. We were delighted with the training and would 100 percent recommend. Also very importantly Ryan has a real connection and Kenzo was loved and cared for during his stay.

Absolutely brilliant! Bobby is almost three and had a good grasp of commands, but only really when he was at home with minimal distractions. As a result, he was a lovely dog to have around at home, but it was a different story when taking him out for walks, to the point where it could get quite stressful.
Problems:
- Lead pulling, he is very strong and it was constant
- Beyond the pulling, sudden unexpected bursts if he saw another dog or a cat or fox.
- Barking and howling alongside these bursts
- Very reactive to cyclists and joggers on the other side of fences
- Recall non-existent and most commands non-existent outside of home
We knew this would be tricky since he is a beagle, and as a result is stubborn!
We got a transformed dog back after a two week board and train with Hannah. I want to add he was only transformed in terms of behaviour - he has maintained all the cheeky, fun, loving attitude he had at home before, but it has now also been brought outside.
For the first time ever Bobby is trusted off-lead outside of an enclosed space. He will do almost any command outside, and even some from distance. We are easing him back into the dog park but so far so good, no cyclists have been howled at (yet!).
Would definitely recommend. Also worth mentioning now that the board and train has finished, the aftercare has not. Hannah is on the end of a phone or whatsapp with any issues I have had since. The care has been brilliant, thanks again!

I am so impressed with the progress my 6 months old Rhodesian Ridgeback did during his basic obedience training with Dorsa! She is without a doubt magic! Loki used to be extremely scared of new people but somehow, at the end of the first session with Dorsa he was giving her kisses! Dorsa is a natural in understanding dogs emotions and behaviours. After just 4 sessions I can honestly say I now have a well mannered dog! Loki is heel walking beautifully next to me without being fearful of everything around him anymore! I cannot recommend Dorsa enough. Pure magic!

I chose off leash because my handsome bullmastiff, Bane, has been attacked on two occasions by two dogs of similiar size. He has no trust in anyone, dogs or human and was becoming more territorial everyday (he is a guard dog after all!) my sweet gentle giant was completely changed and I had seen two other trainers who just didn’t commit as he needed a lot of work and patience.
I knew this wasn’t an overnight miracle, I had searched online for fear aggression training and off leash instantly caught my eye with their transformation videos and range of dog breeds.
Hannah was assigned to me as she was based in west London and the first phone call i had with her i instantly felt a sign of relief that she knew all about Bane’s breed. The first lesson she was so patient with Bane, not rushing him into trusting her. I keep Bane muzzled because there are a lot of people who discriminate against his size but also helps my anxiety should he lunge at someone.
I could tell she really cared for Bane and big dogs, over the next few weeks she worked with Bane on basic training and we always had such a laugh! I would tell Bane he’s going to ‘school’ and his ears perked and eyes lit up.
Bane trusted her more and more then pandemic hit. Hannah was amazing at communicating with me and finding out what if I was comfortable with, we had a break in lockdown and first lesson back I forgot Bane’s muzzle, Hannah was so happy to finally see his handsome face and I didn’t have to worry one bit.
Hannah has really worked here magic with Bane, she has been there when I have texted her if Bane has had any incidents and even when I got scared because I found a lump.
I would go as far to say that Hannah is one of the very few people I fully trust with Bane and I’ll be booking in more lessons even after we finish the current package. School days with Hannah feels like you are with a friend and not a dog trainer telling you off or pointing blame.
Highly recommended for big dogs, Hannah loves them!

We booked our energetic, strong, stubborn (& obviously, lovely!) German Shepherd/Husky in for the 4 week basic obedience course and my God what a life changer it has been! It's important to mention, our Cassie is 5 years old and we have spent an absolute fortune on trying to get her better trained but nothing has ever worked.
I was skeptical and, given our past experiences, a little nervous but how wrong was I to feel that way! Fast forward one month and I cannot explain what a difference this training has made to our life! We can now walk Cassie without getting dragged (!), we can trust her off leash, we can trust her to stay put wherever we ask her to (place) and to tie all off this together we have our INCREDIBLE trainer, Hannah! Hannah is absolutely amazing, friendly, thorough and most importantly- Cassie ABSOLUTELY LOVES HER! At the start of every single session cassie couldn't get to Hannah quick enough to say hello!! We totally loved our time training with Hannah - she really made it a positive and fun experience. Hannah is exactly what you would wish for in a dog trainer- so clued up but so so full of love towards your dog. She was so approachable that we could literally ask her anything and she was always happy to explain/help. If I ever needed to contact her regarding anything during the week she was always at the other side of the phone.
I would recommend Off Leash K9 Training and Hannah to anyone - stop contemplating it and book it in!! It will change your life!!!

Kenzo had problems pulling on the leash and had no recall. He went for a 2 week board and train with Andrea and he has come back very responsive to commands and can now walk completely off leash with reliable recall. Andrea sent us pictures and videos everyday of Kenzo and kept us updated on progress. I can now happily take Kenzo on long walks in the city and other family members are also able to take him on a walk comfortably. Thank you so much!

Ryan (trainer) had our 18month old Doberman for two weeks to help with fear aggression & anxiety. Ryan was absolutely amazing and took great care of our dog. He helped drastically with reducing her fearfulness in public spaces. He exposed our Doberman to all sorts of different situations, from walking through busy market areas, sharing a variety of spaces with other dogs and their owners, to travelling on very busy trains filled with commuters! Ryan has helped our Doberman to gain confidence and lessen her anxiety when put in new situations and environments. Gaining the utmost trust of dogs comes as second nature to Ryan which is why he would be an excellent choice as a trainer and why we would strongly recommend him.

Ryan and Off Leash K9 London are absolute lifesavers! Thank you for all of your time, understanding, and confidence in our people-reactive Giant Schnauzer. Penny’s transformation has been amazing. Instead of actively trying to avoid areas where we know people will be, We are able to take her for walks down the high street without fear that we can’t control her outbursts. Ryan helped me with my anxiety around her tantrums and the two hour handover on the last day was so helpful. I almost cried when we got to sit at a cafe and enjoy a coffee with our girl. She is a much happier dog now that we know how to help her. She is still very aware of everything happening around her but she lets us take the lead before she feels like she has to step in. You have given us the confidence to move forward! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Cannot put into words how amazing Cooper came back. We did a load of research beforehand and decided the 2 weeks board and train would be best for him and WOW! Ryan worked his magic, cooper is now the most amazingly obedient, confident dog. We have 2 children under 2, and having a very excited, stubborn working cocker was really tough, almost to the point where we considered rehoming him. But he is now unbelievable. He’s calm, super obedient and if we decide to even put him on the lead he never pulls. His recall is amazing, and we’ve been given the tools to carry this forward with Cooper, as a loved member of the family!!
We can’t thank Ryan enough, the service he provided with constant communication was so professional but friendly too. We’ve had 5 dog owners ask how Cooper is so well behaved so, Ryan, expect to be busy!! Thanks OLK9 & huge thank you to Ryan!

We cannot recommend Off-Leash K9 Training enough! It has truly transformed our lives and our 1 1/2 yr chocolate lab’s safety and overall quality of life.
Before sending Moose to Off-Leash we would be dragged across the streets of London while we attempted to walk him. With the combination of his speed, strength, and cleverness we sadly didn’t feel safe allowing Moose to roam off leash in the parks, which was one of his favorite activities as a puppy.
Once we sent Moose off to “school” with the wonderful Hannah we knew right away he was in the best hands. After day 1 we immediately were astonished at the transformation of Moose from the videos that Hannah shared. Walking around Windsor Castle with SOO many distractions and walking right on Hannah’s hip. Fast forward to 1 week, and we’re now able to walk Moose in the busy streets of London, where we feel confident to LOOSELY hold our leash knowing he will not pull. BUT the absolute best part is letting Moose run free in the park playing fetch and knowing he will recall and be safe!
Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for Hannah, who has transformed our world and allowed us to give Moose the best doggy life out there. THANK YOU HANNAH and thank you Off-Leash K9 for finding one of the best trainers out there. We will forever be in-debt to you and we’ll always recommend you!

We got recommendations from Off-leash K9 from friends where they were very successful in training on manners, off-leash and behaviour management.
We knew our beagle would be a tough case, as he is very stubborn.
The trainer assigned to our dog was Kieron, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
Kieron was very attentive to understand Duke's behaviour, issues and where we would like his behaviour to be improved. He managed to keep us informed on an almost daily basis on his progress.
Today, after a week since our beloved dog returned home, his attitude to other dogs is incredibly positive. His recall is spot on, and our dog is much happier and healthy having the desired off-leash freedom.
We are looking to send our other beagle for the same training based on such success. Thank you, Kieron, for your fantastic work!

I can not recommend Andrea enough. He went above and beyond his role as a trainer and daily provided tips,tricks and product recommendations personalised to our puppy. We were so anxious about sending him away as he had never been away from home before but Andrea filled us with confidence from the first day. He sent us video and picture updates everyday so we could have peace of mind but also see how Pablo was progressing. It is so clear that Andrea has a real passion for helping dogs. Even after only having Pablo for a week, walks with our dog now are like walking with a brand new dog and that is all down to the hard work Andrea put in and all the advice he gave us to continue it and also improve further in the future. Even after finishing training Andrea has been in constant contact with more tips and to get updates on how Pablo is getting on. Highly recommend Andrea!!

Dorsa did an amazing job with my 7 month old Cavapoo puppy. After her 2 week training she came back the same gorgeous girl, but also much calmer and more responsive. Because her commands are now excellent we can regularly enjoy off-lead walks in the park and countryside, which I previously never thought would be possible.
Highly recommended for any high-energy Cavapoo’s out there!

My puppy Archie spent 2 weeks with Dorsa. I am nothing short of amazed at the progress he made. I’ve gone from resenting my walks to now enjoying them (bye bye leash pulling!). His door and food manners are impeccable and he’s now all around much calmer, obedient and able to settle.
I was initially a tad reluctant but the constant communication, photos and daily pupdates from Dorsa immediately put me at ease.
Money definitely well spent.

My partner and I rescued Frieda our GSD puppy at the age of 6 months she was showing some typical GSD signs and also was unable to control her state of emotion one minute she was worried next she was over excited she struggled to find the middle ground. I contacted off leash to help me with Frieda and they were amazing right from the go. Customer service was punctual and helpful but I must say a massive thank you to Andrea who trained Frieda, he’s a true gentleman and really looked after Frieda whilst in his care. I’m currently writing this post in the middle of the park with dogs and children running around with Frieda remaining in the sit position by my side which I believe tells you all you need to know!! Thank you to the off leash team!

Our 5 month old puppy Reggie (BeagleXStaff) did the 1 week board and train with Kieron. We really felt before he went that we had tried everything with little improvement to his behaviour. He is extremely high energy and after a week with Kieron we really saw he was a changed dog. It was clear there was finally a way to help us control Reggie but also give him the freedom we know he deserves.
We now have a dog in the house who is extremely well behaved, no longer runs rings round us and listens to commands first time rather than ignoring them and running in the opposite direction! We have amazing recall and although we are still working on distractions with other dogs we know with Kierons support we will have it perfect in no time :)!
You do not feel as though you are given your dog back and thats it, it feels as though we have the support we need to continue this journey which is very comforting.
We have our lives back and have a dog we love so much and now can really enjoy with all his quirks!
Thank you Kieron & K9OL!

Pleasure working with Dorsa, she is an incredible trainer and I highly recommend her. Our Goldendoodle can now be recall, heel and off lead. Prior to training he always does what he wants. Dorsa is knowledgable, patient, always give us updates and provide great handover.
P. B.
Ryan was simply amazing! We had our naughty Labrador dog Max go for a 2 week board and train and Ryan did a great job in training him heel, recall, commands, and food and door manners!! Moreover he kept us posted daily (given this was our first time away from our dog ) which we highly appreciate! He took so good care of him! Thanks a lot Ryan!!
s. W.
Ryan from Off leash K9 training, He's brilliant.
I went from a wild dog to an obeying Polish dog that outshines all the other dogs in the park. Every time I step outside, another dog owner compliments me on his training, my Weimaraner is the envy of all.
Thank you

We had Dorsa as our trainer to train our 2.5 year old Boxer. Our experience was very positive as Dorsa was able to assess the requirements of our Boxer and at the same time teach us on the training tricks. Dorsa is very intuitive with the dogs and that comes across in the first meeting.
J. M.
We can't say enough good things about our trainer, Dorsa! Our mini-dachshund was very nervous and reactive, and while it took a couple of sessions, he now really transformed into a confident and obedient dog. Dorsa was very kind and competent, and also made training a fun experience, for both us and our dog. We highly recommend Dorsa as a dog trainer!

Our golden retriever, Larry, has always been loveable and friendly but, as he grew older, it became increasingly difficult to train him. When he was ten months old, my girlfriend and I had reached our limit. Walking Larry was nearly impossible — he would pull on the lead constantly (he almost pulled my shoulder out of its socket more than a few times) and would frequently run into the road (sometimes against oncoming traffic). In pubs and restaurants, it was nearly impossible to get him to sit or lie down — he would roam all over the place. In parks, his recall was non-existent. It filled us with stress and anxiety to take him out of the house and it felt like we were missing out on some of the biggest perks of having a dog.
My girlfriend and I were a bit hesitant to use the services of a dog trainer because we thought it was too expensive, wouldn’t work and we could do everything ourselves. So we bought all the books and watched every YouTube video — but we couldn’t hack it. Eventually, we realised we needed to consult a professional. And that’s how we came to meet Hannah.
Hannah, quite frankly, changed our lives. After two weeks, we are now able to get Larry to (i) heel on the busiest London streets without a lead; (ii) sit, lie down and go to his “place” immediately on command irregardless of the environment; and (iii) come back to us whenever we call him. He is a dream — I have actually had people come up to me and comment on how well-behaved Larry is. I genuinely didn’t believe two weeks of dog training would work...but it did and it was amazing.
Hannah is also an amazing trainer. She was really sensitive to the fact that we were entrusting our dog with her and constantly kept us updated with photos, videos and messages. You can really tell that she cares deeply about the dogs that she trains and we were very grateful for the level of commitment she showed — not only in terms of training our dog but also ensuring he felt safe, happy and loved.
The money was worth every penny and I would recommend Hannah (and Off-Leash K-9) to everyone. Thanks to her, we are able to fully enjoy all the time we spend with Larry — and it is completely relaxing and stress-free.

Hannah has completely changed our lives for the better and given us the freedom we always dreamed of having with our Great Dane, Elvis. I was nervous when we first signed up for the training, as we were unsure if we would see results and were conscious the cost was an investment. Similarly, while big, our boy is incredibly sensitive, and we wanted to make sure whatever training method we were using wasn't going to hurt or scare him. At 70kg, Elvis was pulling on the lead, had almost no recall and would completely ignore us when distractions or other dogs were around, doing whatever he pleased. However, over the 8 weeks of training, Hannah was able to evaluate Elvis's behaviours and assist us in the correct methods - in the end we left with a beautiful boy who can confidently walk off lead, recalls, listens intently to our commands, can sit and place until released including at a distance and with distraction, heels and is overall a much happier and more confident dog! Elvis loved working with Hannah and was all tail wags and smiles heading to and during every session each weekend. We truly cannot thank her enough for her guidance, deep understanding/ knowledge of dogs and for all the love she has shown Elvis throughout our journey. I would highly recommend her and OLK9 for all dog training needs.

I got Calvin (now 11 month old German Shepherd) at 7 months from a family who needed him rehomed. When I first got him, he had a huge issue with lead reactivity and would bark at dogs down the road, as soon as they were in sight. He had the basic 'sit' and 'down' command but was awful at walking on the lead. His recall was okay but if he spotted another dog in the park he would run off and to go and play with it. However, after 4 basic obedience sessions with Emma for K9 Off Leash training, he's a completely different dog. His heel is near perfect, he's impeccably behaved in the park, he's extremely sociable with other dogs and slowly but surely the lead reactivity is coming down. He now rarely barks at dogs when he's on the lead, however close they are. Sometimes a dog will bark at him and he'll respond but nothing unmanageable. I would whole heartedly recommend this training package; it can be very overwhelming when a dog has traits or habits that seem unbreakable , but Emma made me realise pretty much every problem can be fixed or managed with time and effort. I can't thank her enough!

Amazing dog education with fast results. Our dog Luna has just completed the basic training classes. Focused on recall, place training, heel and down. Hannah made the class fun and engaged, for myself and my wife as well as getting Luna to understand the takeaway points from each lesson. We have a high energy beagle cross, with a high scent prey drive. After just 4 week of lessons and homework, Luna get’s all the attention at the local dog park, with people saying how well behaved she is. We are just about to start the advanced training classes and couldn’t recommend Hannah highly enough as a trainer. She has multiple techniques and ideas to get the point across to your puppy, building a happy a confident dog

We had the pleasure of working with Off Leash Training’s Hannah, based near Wisley in Surrey. We could not recommend Hannah and Off Leash Training more. Hannah completely transformed the behaviour of our five month old fox red Labrador Iago, and enabled us to get the best out of him through training us on how to behave with him to provide consistency, clarity and structure. Hannah’s work has enabled our dog and his humans to enjoy each other.
The end to end experience of working with Hannah was amazing. Hannah consistently went above and beyond to prepare our puppy to make the most of our training ahead of the fortnight, giving us useful practical tips we were able to implement in advance. During the fortnight of training, Hannah communicated with us to keep us informed of progress, including a video of Iago walking perfectly off leash in a busy town centre, in addition to sitting quietly and staying down for long durations . When we collected him, Hannah trained us for two hours on how to continue her great work, and followed up the next day to see how we were getting on .
Hannah is extremely diligent with an incredible work ethic and retained our dog for an additional day to give him the extra support he needed to meet her high expectations. Our dog absolutely adored Hannah , and it was clear all her other client’s dogs did too .
Since working with Hannah, our friends say that Iago is a different dog, because his behaviour is so excellent. Everyone we meet on walks compliments us on how well behaved our dog is. Multiple friends have asked for Hannah’s details for their dogs .
In summary, we couldn’t recommend Hannah more!
C. D.
I have to say I was a bit sceptical prior to the training. I expected some improvements but didn’t didn’t really think it would make a massive difference. We had our Dobermann stay with Hannah in Woking for 2 weeks and he is a completely different dog after the training. Prior to the training I never had the confidence to let him of the lead in a public park where there might be other dogs and people because I had no idea what he would do or where he might go. Letting him off the lead anywhere was a massive risk. Now I walk with him off the leash almost 90% of the time, he is on a lead only when walking near traffic, and if he gets too pushy with another dog. We are still working on a few things, and he still tries to push his limits sometimes but nothing like he used to before. He is also very different around the house. I can finally cook and eat in peace. He is not always in our face anymore and he is a joy to have around. He doesn’t jump on people when they come over either. Absolutely amazing! Walks are finally enjoyable and most frustrations are gone! Massive thank you.

After a very stressful time with our 15 month old Doberman girl, we booked the 8 week aggression course with Hannah at Off-Leash K9.
Our dog became very reactive towards humans at around 9 months old and walks became a nightmare rather than a pleasure. She would lunge and bark at random people walking or jogging nearby and I couldn’t walk her without being constantly on edge about what she might do. We couldn’t have visitors to the house as she was so aggressive towards anyone coming in.
However, I’m so happy to say that after our sessions with Hannah and using her training methods, our dog is much calmer and I can now walk her around busy areas full of people without incident. She is now a pleasure to go out with and responds to my commands. I can’t thank Hannah enough and highly recommend her for all types of training for your dog. She clearly loves and understands dogs - and the results speak for themselves. She has a great balance of being firm and patient with positive reinforcement so the dog can’t help but behave and get that praise.
I can truly say that the results we have had with Hannah are life changing for us and our dog.
Thank you so much Hannah!

Our lovely Podenco cross Jonas stayed with Dorsa for two week training. Before this, he would constantly pull which made walks very challenging! Dorsa has been brilliant; she’s kept us up to date daily, responded well to Jonas’ specific needs and now he walks to heel! This is going to be an absolute life changer for us and what is even better is we now have a clear picture of what we need to do to continue the training with our boy.
Well done Dorsa and thank you for all of your hard work! Jonas loved every minute of it!
C. P.
Dorsa @ K9 was an absolute Rockstar, she kept us so well updated everyday, our little man Lupo is the best he has ever been and he has all the character he has always had, but is so well behaved as well which we weren't sure was possible.
All the key areas have been sorted and we have been able to continue the training which we have loved after an informative handover.
Dorsa was 5* and would definitely recommend her to a friend and me and my wife are still send her whatsapp updates so she can see how our ball of fluff is doing.
Thanks for everything,
T. L.
We have a very cuddly and energetic 1 year old Samoyed who unfortunately was giving us a hard time with basic obedience such as walking on leash. He was particularly difficult when other dogs were in sight, to the point where we nearly avoided other dogs.
We tried a few lessons with a trainer (4 x 1 hour session), which yielded close to no results.
Finally we decided to give OLK9 a go, and I am very pleased with our decision to do so. Dorsa in particular has been an amazing trainer. Before the board and train program even started, we were able to communicate with her and express our concerns and needs. We then left on holiday, and were pleasantly surprised by the constant communication and daily updates.
When we came back, we were very happy to discover a well behaved boy, who has made such great progress in such a short amount of time. I am really pleased with the progress so far: he now waits for us to let him in, he can do extended sit/stay and is generally a lot better. Overall, we are really pleased with OLK9 (especially with our trainer Dorsa).
Note: I think it's worth sharing that in some cases a two-week training may not be sufficient to fully train your dog. It’s been about a month since our dog completed the board and train and we are still relying on the e-collar on everyday on leash walks. However, we are looking forward to continuing to see him progress and hopefully we will be able to be 100% off leash very soon :)

Our 5-month old working Labrador puppy, Austin, completed the one-week board and train with Dalia at OLK9 and we are thrilled with the results. We are writing this review four months later and are still so happy!! To be honest, we were skeptical about what could possibly be established and achieved in a week that we could maintain afterwards, and we still say all the time that we are SO glad we chose OLK9 for Austin. The training was definitely worth the investment and we recommend OLK9 to anyone who compliments how well trained our dog is!
The two main issues we were having with Austin were lead walking and recall. We dreaded taking Austin on walks because he was such a nightmare on the lead - he would constantly run, pull and lunge (wearing a harness was arguably worse for this behaviour, too). After only five days with Dalia, Austin calmly walks at "heel" and is a delight to walk on the lead, even still months later!
The other issue we had with Austin was recall. He didn't seem to worry about us being out of sight at the park as he would run after footballs and other dogs to play until we chased him down and put him back on lead. He wouldn't acknowledge us yelling his name and we couldn't risk letting him off lead in main park areas... he had a record of picnic crashing :(. The e-collar definitely helped with Austin's recall and it is really the only thing we still use it for to ensure his behaviour is reinforced and rewarded.
Dalia was so great with Austin, we could tell that she really cared about his training and wanted him to learn his commands. We loved getting her update videos and messages and could tell that Austin was really enjoying being with her (and didn't miss us at all!). We highly recommend Dalia as a trainer, she was fantastic!

Our Kobe is an XL American bully and has recently finished a two week boarding with Ryan. My dog is a very big dog! Walks was a nightmare. He would pull me, bark and cry to get over to dogs. Walks was so unpredictable and at times very embarrassing! This is just one of the things we needed help with. Kobe has never hurt a human or dog but looking like you have no control isn't a good look. To be honest when my son found off leash training I said to him "it won't work, no chance" but I knew we had to try.
When dropping off Kobe Ryan wanted to know our needs and wants and was a 10 out of 10 for communication. This stood out instantly for me. Made it very personal I liked that! We gave Ryan our dreams with Kobe even though we new it was unrealistic. Well fast forward two weeks and Ryan smashed our dreams and so much more. Ryan went above and beyond anything we could have wished for! Our Kobe was on trains, in pub gardens, on boats, In a basketball court, In place position and heeling like a pro. Kobe was in the river, walking through busy places off leash and doing all the things we only wished for. We had amazing communication from Ryan and regular updates, messages, pictures and videos of all of this happening, we see all his progress along the way.
Now...Walking kobe is an absolute pleasure! Kobe sits when dogs pass by, his chilled so much and we love walking him. It's not all a dream anymore... Ryan we can't thank you enough you're dedication and love for dogs is very evident... our Kobe will miss you we knew instantly he was left in good hands...Thank you.

Opted for the 2 week board and train for my stubborn 9 month old Shiba Inu Inari. As expected of the breed, she's extremely stubborn and individualistic; being smart is just a consolation prize. I wasn't expecting much from sending her into training, but Dorsa was great, considerate and had patience that matched my dog's stubborness. I was kept updated throughout the weeks with photos, videos and texts of my dog's progress which has been a blast to see.
She hasn't quite mastered offleash commands fully, that's something I'll hvae to continue working on, but Dorsa has done great laying the foundation. At the very least, Inari doesn't run off the moment the leash drops anymore. Dorsa has also been amazing in providing guidance on moving on following the board and train through Whatsapp.
M. K.
Absolutely Amazing! Can not stress this enough! Our 5-month old Dobermann Tana was very reactive to other dogs as well as she pulled on every walk we went on. We decided to choose Off-Leash K9 Training and that was the best decision we have made. Our trainer Scott was very dedicated and helpful. Before the training, Scott asked many questions to make sure Tana will settle in well in his home during the training. He was also very approachable so we could ask him many questions. We highly recommend him as he will take good care of your dog. Thank you Scott for your great work.
A. T. H.
Wow, Off Leash K9 worked absolute magic on our 7 month old Pomsky! I knew the reviews were good and was optimistic that we'd be happy with the training, but it still absolutely surpassed our expectations. Our puppy was with Hannah for 1 week board and train. He had good knowledge of commands prior, but very selective hearing so was very inconsistent, sometimes stubborn and hard to trust in terms of recall! We never expected to be able to trust him off lead and he has been an angel since we've had him back. His recall is spot on, he will leave other dogs alone when he's off lead, he no longer jumps up at strangers and he is brilliantly calm with toddlers and children. He's always listening and so obedient in every way and most importantly seems much more happy and relaxed. We are able to give him more freedom and we all feel much more like a team with him now thanks to Hannah! Hannah was a star throughout, we loved the updates during training, she gave a comprehensive handover and we have been in touch since. I would 110% recommend the Off Leash K9 programme to dogs who have selective hearing, high prey drive and or stubborn! Thanks again

Dorsa ensured Marlo was trained to exactly what I wanted and he is such a pleasure to walk and be around now. He spent 2 weeks in house training and he is a different dog. Thank you

I had my 2 year old Rottie on their 2 week reactive programme. They gave me an amazing Trainer (Ryan) who helped put fun back in our walks.
S. Q.
Had been hesitant initially, but so so happy I went through with it. My 1 year old French Bulldog had been spoilt, would pull on leash, and not come back off leash - making him very difficult to walk with my cocker spaniel. 2 weeks with Dalia, and it is such a huge flex to be walking round with him off leash. Not only did she take care of Yorkie like he was her own, but she provides you with the tools and skills you need to continue training with your dog after. She has a wealth of knowledge, and I’d highly recommend this course for any owners thinking about training their dog. You will not regret it.
D. H.
This training courses are fantastic my dog luna was completely out of control didn't listen barking constantly destroying my house she came back from the training with Andrea and is like a completely different dog would highly recommend

Amazing results highly recommend.
My 2 year old German shepherd Bear had issues with walking nicely on the lead, recall and door manners. He was well looked after by the amazing Eleanor who was friendly and professional .Eleanor made me feel at ease when I left Bear and kept me updated daily with his progress and play time photos. When we picked him up after the 2 weeks you could see the bond that had been formed between them. Eleanor spent time with us at the end of the 2 weeks going through everything that bear had learnt and how to continue with the training . The best money I have spent for me and my dog these incredible results mean we can now enjoy long walks and off leash trips to the park and the beach. Thank you so much K9 training .

We sent our 15 month old American bully Blue for the one week board and train with Hannah. His issues were pulling on the lead (we used a halti but wanted to eventually be without this) and leash frustration around other dogs, which, due to his size and constant pulling wanting to go to other dogs was getting to be a problem. Hannah was amazing with Blue, you could tell he really loved her and that she really cared! A week on and he’s walking nicely on the lead, around other dogs (something we never thought would be possible!) and playing nicely off lead with a good recall. We know it will require a lot of work on our end to keep up the great results but Hannah has given us a solid foundation and I know have the confidence to carry on his training! Can’t thank Off Leash and Hannah enough and would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs a little extra help with their pup 😃

We have had a brilliant experience with our trainer Eleanor. We dropped off our 1 year old German shepherd who was having some issues listening when distracted. Eleanor kept us up to date with daily pictures and videos of his progress and we spent nearly 2 hours on the day we collected him learning about everything he had been doing. It was clear that Cash and Eleanor had a brilliant bond and I knew I was leaving him in good hands and he was going to be well looked after. Initially, Cash pushed the boundaries when we brought him home but Eleanor was on hand via message and offered more tips and advice. A week later, Cash is like a different dog. He is fully focused and listens to every command. We are still working on his heel work and Eleanor is happy to answer any ongoing questions we have. This has truly been a wonderful experience for me and I feel like I have grown an even more solid bond with my dog. It is now a pleasure to take him out! Cannot recommend this place enough and especially Eleanor in Kent ! Thank you !

We had been looking to professionally train our 5 month old Labrador "Max" for a while now and had looked around on the Internet a lot before committing to anything. After his 2 weeks board and train with Off Leash K9 training, he has come back obedient and very happy. The training was very effective. The new commands that he has learnt have really helped our day to day lives. He was so well looked after and loved by his trainer Scott. He was working very hard with Max during 2 weeks training and was updating us daily on his progress. We would strongly recommend K9 training to everyone, they work absolute wonders.

My 9 month old cockapoo completed the 'Basic Obedience 4 week programme', as I had issues with her recall, pulling on the leash and she just didn't listen to my commands out on walks. I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Hannah as she did a great job training her. She now is very obedient while off leash on walks and comes to my recall even when there are other dogs distracting her, she also walks to heel and is just a joy to take out on our daily walks. This was money well spent and I highly recommend Hannah :)
S. M.
We had a wonderful experience with Eleanor at Off-Leash K9 training. Our puppy, Zazu came back incredibly well trained (we were shocked!) with a new found confidence in himself. The updates we got daily were a highlight, showing his progress and a puppy that was clearly enjoyed him time with his trainer. Our trainer was a total professional and clearly has a vocation for working with and training dogs, and we couldn’t recommend her and the company more highly. Thank you for training our dog and giving him such a positive experience that has set him up as a very good boy for life.

Cali went on her 2 week board and train about 2 months ago now. She was 11 months and is a mini labradoodle who loved to explore. I don’t know how they’ve done such a good job in 2 weeks! My trainer Darcey sent me daily updates of pictures and videos. During the handover you could see Cali really enjoyed her time with him!
During booking with OLK9 they answered any question I had as did the trainer. They were professional throughout the whole process.
Cali’s recall is now so reliable and her heal both on and off lead is amazing! Taking off her lead in the past was always a challenge and I used to use a long training lead (that was very annoying to constantly wash in the winter). Now I have full confidence it’s safe to let her off and go play. She's is defiantly a much happier dog too with her freedom.
I’ve been in disbelief at how well trained she’s come back, as have people in the park that knew Cali from before her training! Would highly recommended them. Thanks Darcey and OLK9 for your hard work!

I enrolled my 15-month-old Hungarian Vizsla on the one week board & train programme with Amy in February 2022. I could not have been more pleased with the results - Piper has come back a different dog! I had specifically asked Amy to focus on recall, loose lead walking and jumping up. Amy was so clear and thorough in her communications throughout, from an initial video call through to regular communication across the week with photos and videos. She is clearly highly skilled at what she does as Piper has really changed for the better - she much calmer and more obedient with excellent recall skills. Before I would be reluctant to take her off the lead in the park whereas now I have no worries about it, and her lead walking is superb. It really is such a relief and I’m so grateful to K9 and Amy in particular for their hard work!

Our 1 year old Doberman, Nero went on the 2 week residential. His trainer was Eleanor who was absolutely fantastic. Before his training he had no recall, pulled on lead, jumped up, was stubborn and didn’t listen to commands. Now after the 2 weeks his transformation is amazing!! He is so much calmer, walks on and off leash to heal, has excellent recall, has learnt place, extended sit and down, door manners. I cannot recommend OLK9 enough especially Eleanor, it has been life changing for us!! Thank you
V. M.
Hannah at Off Leash is incredible!! Our dog was sweet but not well behaved at all: she chewed everything, barked at everyone and was very scared of other dogs! After 2 weeks at board and train with Hannah, the results were astounding! Our dog is now fully off-leash trained, socialises with other dogs, and is so well behaved! She only chews her own toys and will bark once to alert me someone’s at the door (which is what you want from a guard dog!)
We can finally enjoy taking her with us to parks and outdoors restaurants - she stays put and quiet no matter the distractions around her. Thanks Hannah and team at Off Leash! Best results ever!!!
P. K.
Amazing work from Emma at Off-Leash K9 Training London. We have an extremely anxious border collie and we used other trainers with no success. Emma came in and she was hands on from the beginning, with clear instructions and clear expectations set out for the training outcomes. She showed so much care, love and support to us and our dog! She was always there for help and guidance and both the individual training and the 2 week board were extremely beneficial for our dog! Our border collie can finally be off leash in the park and run around happily! If you're looking for a qualified, educated and caring trainer look no further! I cannot recommend Emma enough!

Our Loki has just finished a one week board and train with Hannah 'The dog whisperer'! I booked a board and train after doing a 1 hour session with her because she was just so good with Loki and it was very obvious that she genuinely cared and has a passion for dogs. It comes naturally to her and she knows what she is doing. Yes I missed my dog for the week but I wasn't worried about him because Hannah looked after him, kept me updated daily and I could see he was in good hands and was happy. When I got Loki back he was ecstatic to see me but was a changed boy! He initially went in with major lead pulling, recall issues, and just basically not listening, but with Hannah's hard work he has learnt to do in one week what I couldn't do in months.
I would definitely recommend Off- Leash, they are genuine, transparent and the best!

My German Shepherd Dog, who is now 28 months old, has just finished his training with the most amazing trainer called Hannah. My dog has had a rather difficult year and Hannah has given me the best support throughout and now, along with this additional training thanks to Hannah, I have the tools that will give me and my dog a life time of training which will help in all situations. I will strongly recommend this training especially with Hannah as she is extremely professional, very experienced and has such fantastic knowledge with amazing and all round helpful tips that will help with my on going training. I cant thank Hannah enough for this insightful experience that we have gained from her boarding and training.
D. H.
Hannah was wonderful with our 8-month old Shiba Inu, Mia. Mia had issues with recall and walking in a heel as well as being very prone to distractions outside. Throughout the two week training programme, we were kept updated with pictures and videos as well as messages and tips with how Mia was doing and how we could help reinforce the training. The handover session was clearly explained and very smooth. Mia now has amazing focus regardless of environment, which has made our life alot easier and also resulted in Mia being able to explore her surroundings off leash reliably. The training was a complete success and we love that Hannah keeps in touch even after it has finished. We would not hesitate to recommend the training and would go so far as to say our future dogs would also likely end up on the same course!

Skye our husky has spent a year on the lead due to lack of trust on her recall. I am delighted to say 10 days on since she has come home we have had her off lead and her recall has been good with no need to reinforce the command and she seems to be staying closer. Fantastic to see her off lead again and able to socialise with other dogs as our confidence increases with her again. Thanks Dorsa for your effort and work you put in with her, much appreciated

Our 8 month old Doberman Kane was very disobedient and stubborn. He pulled on the lead, would not recall and would not stay in a place at all, as well as other problems. Jackson from Off Leash K9 London took him away for a 2 week board and train and the results are staggering! Kane now has a perfect heel, recalls every time and is so obedient, but he has kept the character that we love. I highly recommend Jackson and his training methods, he has done an amazing job and given us a dog we can be so proud of.

Bella my dog was unable to ever be off the lead because of her terrible recall, she would sometimes run off for hours before coming back which was terrifying. After trying 4 other trainers and dog behavior specialists, I decided to try OL-K9 Training. After contacting them and explaining that my dog (Bella, a 14 month old chow-chow x Siberian Husky) needed basic training (recall, heel, stay..etc) and that nowhere else had been able to achieve any noticeable level of training, they advised me to speak with their trainer Kieran about a 2 week boarding with daily training. Bella is a good dog, but her breeding means she is very stubborn at accepting training and her recall and pulling on the lead were a nightmare. I explained all of this to Kieran over the phone and he assured me that he could help change this behavior. The cost of the training was high, but after speaking with Kieran and understanding his background in dog behavior and training and record of success I decided to take the chance. I dropped Bella with Kieran for the training, and for the next 2 weeks he kept in daily contact with updates and videos of her progress. When I came to collect Bella after her 2 week training I could not believe the difference. She no longer pulled on the lead, her recall was amazing and she was able to run off the lead for the first time in months. To see Bella able to run off the lead again safely was simply amazing!!! I would not hesitate In recommending Kieran and Off-Leash K9 training to anyone who is struggling with their dogs training. 10/10!!

My dogs have grown tremendously with this training. Since there are two of them, it was really difficult to walk together when taking them out. But now it's fun to go for a walk together and I enjoy the dogs more and more.I once again realised that training is very important for living together happily every day. My dogs can now heel and don't need a lead when walking. I am very happy with the result and thankful to have had such a good trainer.

Today is Loki’s 1st day back from one week board and train with Eleanor, I’m surprised how much he has progressed in just one week. His heel and recall is perfect. I used to use two leashes on him and had to pull him back constantly. Today I only used 1 lead and walked with him for 3hrs in busy areas and park with no pulling at all. We even encountered a cat (which was our main problem) but the boy for the first time looked at me for permission, and actually continued walking on heel!!
I can’t recommend Olk9 and Eleanor enough!! This will make our walks stress free and life easier. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

I enrolled my 15 month old Cockerpoo Timmy for a 2 week board and train in London .
I was lucky enough to be given Dorsa as our trainer who was so professional before during and after Timmy’s stay .
Dorsa answered any question I had and kept in touch with me throughout . I received messages Video”s and photos of Timmy everyday . I felt from the first day I dropped Timmy off that he was going to be very well looked after and any doubts I may have had soon disappeared when I met Dorsa.
Timmy was a very excitable Cockerpoo who had not had any training prior to going to stay with Dorsa.
When the two weeks were over and I collected Timmy I could see immediately that he was a much calmer dog and can now do all of the tasks Dorsa taught him . No more dragging me down the street and perfect manners in the house . I can’t thank Dorsa enough for all her work and devotion to Timmy for those 2 weeks .
I would recommend Dorsa as a wonderful trainer and Off lead London as a professional organisation .

Sookie has always been on a lead in public (even if it meant using a 30m equine training lead just so that she could chase a ball whilst giving her a degree of freedom)
I’ve always been really worried about Sookie around new people, children and other dogs (Overly protective, wouldn’t let other people or their dogs come anywhere near me and incredibly nervous around children and strangers. Extremely loyal and affectionate but only once she gets to know you! Recall/walking to heel was good but only with zero distractions)
But... after spending two weeks with Hannah, Sookie’s obedience/concentration has changed dramatically! She now initiates eye contact when called, obeys commands regardless of distractions and clearly knows her place within the family - and, as a result, Sookie is less nervous around new people/children/etc, and overall appears to be a happier and more confident dog.
Hannah, thank you for your much appreciated time training Sookie, I know she misses you a lot!
(On another note, Sookie has always struggled to settle in away from home and simply refuses to eat - but with Hannah she very quickly adjusted and adapted to her environment, eating well throughout her stay!)

We decided to send our 6 months old German Shepherd Rocky for 2 weeks board and train to Off-Leash K9. Hannah did an amazing job with our GSD she is a fantastic trainer and the best person to take care of your dog. She kept us updated throughout 2 weeks of training process via messages and videos. During the handover she didn't rush at all and made sure we understand everything. Thank you Hannah. It was worth every single penny I love the transformation in him. Off-Leash K9 is a great training organisation with professional and friendly trainer.
I would highly recommend Off-leash K9 to any dog owner. 10 out of 10 to Off-Leash K9 and 10 out of 10 to Hannah.

We have a 13 month old frug, who after a husky went for him whilst on a walk when he was younger, he became an extremely reactive dog, especially when walking on the lead. He would pull to the point it was not possible to walk him without him working himself up, making himself sick or choking. He would bark at anyone new walking past, and was extremely reactive. Walking became a chore and something we really were unable to do with him, it was only possible to let him run on a field with his ball and training lead. He was such a loving dog and comfortable in his own surroundings, but anything new he would react to and we just wanted to go back to being able to take him for walks. We really didn’t know what else to try, we had previously tried a number of different training options but nothing seemed to work.
We looked into Off the Leash K9 training and did our research, after reading all of the amazing reviews and seeing the before and after videos, we made the decision to contact “Off the leash K9 Training” for their help, guidance and support in training Ralph. I had a number of questions beforehand and OLK9 including Eleanor were able to help and answer those questions. They really put my mind at ease especially with using the e-collar as this had been something I was worried about. After all, we wanted and needed to make sure this was the right and best decision for Ralph.
He was well looked after by the amazing Eleanor who was extremely friendly and professional. Eleanor made us feel at ease when we left Ralph and reassured us before hand that he would still be the same loving, cuddling dog. He will just be well trained using commands. Eleanor kept us updated with his progress and it was amazing to see his results after the 2 weeks. There were even changes after day one. These were all things that we thought were unimaginable even in just two weeks.
We collected Ralph on Monday and it was great to see his results, you could see the bond that had been formed between Eleanor and Ralph. Which was nice to see as you knew he had been well looked after. Eleanor spent time with us at the end of the 2 weeks going through everything that Ralph had learnt and how we need to continue with the training and keep him on track.
We put the practice in today and we were actually able to walk for a long period of time, practicing the commands we were shown yesterday. This is something we could have only dreamt of before. Ralph was able to do heel, walk off the leash, recalled and placed into positions.
This isn’t just a quick fix and we certainly need to keep up the good work and training that Eleanor has put in with Ralph to ensure we are able to continue with walks like this, Ralph now needs to get used to us in command and not being so reactive and protective over us. But he has certainly come back a lot calmer, not so reactive to certain situations and has learnt new commands and to listen to those commands. The main focus now is him getting used to us being in command and continuing what he has been taught.
Thank you so much K9 training and Eleanor for your help in training Ralph you have put us on track to have enjoyable and memorable walks with Ralph once again and for him to be a lot more calmer, less reactive and a joy to be around. We look forward to sending you his progress over the next few weeks :)

I didn’t think it was possible to train our dog to walk. She is an 18 month old Dobermann with excellent command knowledge... apart from walking. We had seen improvement throughout the year teaching her ourselves but it was very very very slow and steady progress. Jackson (the trainer we used) sent us a video the next day to show her walking on a lead almost perfectly. I was utterly gobsmacked and knew we had done the right thing, even though before I wasn’t to sure about their training methods. We got her a week later and was shown how to carry on with the training and we cannot thank Jackson enough. We were informed of her progress everyday, either at his home or training with photos and videos which made my day being apart from her for a week. Overall a really professional service. Loved that our dog stayed in the trainers home and she was loved and taken care of

Thank you so much to Dorsa for everything she has done for Stanley the Airedale and myself. My initial concern was recall as I was worried about his safety but with thanks to Dorsa I have learnt control for this and so much more. Stanley is a beautiful boy and was always keen to please, but with Dorsa's help I now know how to support him so he can have a relaxed and happy life. I cannot reccomend her and OLK9 highly enough - again, thank you so much.

I honestly can’t believe how much our little French bulldog Bear has changed in a week of boarding with Eleanor. He had no recall, would pull on the lead and was basically a little terror before we handed him over.
One week on he is walking to heel, sitting and staying on command, it’s like we’ve got a new dog with a mix of his old personality.
Eleanor was amazing with Bear and very responsive to our messages and gave video and picture updates on a regular basis. Even when he nipped her finger she didn’t complain.
I can’t recommend off leash k9 high enough.
Thanks!

I picked up my standard Poodle from Hannah, one of the excellent trainers from K9 Off leash training UK, firstly Hannah is friendly and approachable, I can see she truly loves the dogs and in turn the dogs truly adore her back. Hannah knows her stuff, she understands that even after the 2 week board and train the owners can struggle with keeping up the commands and reassured me that she is always at the end of a phone line and will help. Dior my dog has changed in so many way for the better, she listens, she understands the commands, she respects me as her owner and she is just a pleasure to own. I can’t thank Hannah enough, I highly highly rate this company if your struggling with your dog!
A. S.
We had such a great experience with Kieron, he took so much care of our 9 month old Golden Retriever! He has picked up some great manners and is such a pleasure to walk, all of his jumping up and pulling has pretty much stopped! Kieron really spent the time taking us through everything Vinny learnt during his 1 week board and train. As Vinny had never been away from us before, I was a little worried about leaving him and sceptical about how much he could achieve in one week, but Kieron made us feel super comfortable and I was truly amazed by how much he learnt!

The major issue we had with our dog 9 months old Selma was recall around distractions, we were non-existent when other dogs were around to play with.
After 1 Week Board & Train with Dalia this has been resolved, Selma is checking in with us regularly during walks and the recall is reliable. We had daily updates on training which we were always looking forward to.
A special mention is car anxiety – Dalia worked on this intensively with Selma on this and we went from a dog avoiding the car fully now she jumps in the car on her own on command.
We would recommend K9 training and Dalia to anyone that wants a better behaved dog :) .

Just picked my yorkie up from Scott and I'm very impressed! He did an amazing job with him and I am still in shock of how well my dog received and retained the training on the way home without Scott (as he's super hyper and has had trouble in the past listening to me). He's had lots of trouble with leash pulling, recall, and bolting out the door. On our way him he didn't pull at all, listened to all the commands he was taught and also seems a bit more calm and confident. I highly recommend this training. I did the 1-week boarding for obedience and plan to do more in the future to learn even more skills. Can't thank Scott enough for setting a solid foundation for my dog for me to continue the amazing habits he's learned.
E. M.
These guys are incredible. I am so so glad I booked this for my 5 month old puppy Wyn who was just pretty busy and I needed help getting the training right! The difference in Wyn on the two week training course was nothing short of a miracle. He's still got his brilliant personality but we are now both so much happier as he listens to me and knows what I am asking. He came away with clear immediate response to: Sit, Stay, Wait, Place, Heel, Come, Down and Load (into car).
Massive thank you to Ash who was my main contact. She was so communicative over the phone while he was with them and has been available for follow up since he came home. Truly can not recommend them enough!
C. D.
Had Scott Sharfman as a trainer for my Doberman puppy we had issues with heal recall and basic obedience around dogs thanks to the trainer our doberman has completely changed and is more obedient and calm I highly recommend scott he’s amazing trainer and really explains well all the steps during training and helped a lot with our problems even though we only had a hour per week lesson he has done a amazing job . Looking forward in working with him in the future. We Highly highly recommend the k9 off leash training in london.

Hannah transformed my stubborn 6 month Cavalier puppy into a well-behaved and obdenient member of the household! My partner and I tried a few other reputable trainers in London for a few daily sessions, but it just wasn't working.
My pup was terrible off the lead and just wouldn't come back, despite months of persistent recall training on a long lead and around the house with positive reinforcement. Outside with distractions, he'd simply ignore us and run up to greet dangerous-looking dogs and running after everyone to say hi. It was causing us a lot of stress, and frankly it was dangerous. After one particularly stressful morning where we almost lost him as he was chasing after a squirrel, I signed him up for the 2 week boarding programme.
I'm just blown away with the results. We've had him back for 2 weeks now and I've been taking him outside on a few streets of London without a lead (which I never thought I'd be comfortable doing!). In parks, we can now let him run wild knowing he'll come back when we recall. And we're able to walk past other dogs and people without him running up to them all the time. We have had to use the provided remote e-collar to nudge him a handful of times every now and then (as Hannah anticipated). He tries to push his luck occasionally, but following Hannah's advice we've been able to get him to snap out of it quickly. Consistency is key!
I'll say this again...I tried lots of tactics and nothing quite worked like this did. Do this. You will not regret it. I was very concerned about leaving him for 2 weeks, but Hannah sent me regular updates and pictures where I could see how well he settled in. Hannah and her partner treated my pup like their own :) Thank you so much! Best investment I've made for my pup and will serve us well for years to come.
Most importantly, my pup is now so much happier being able to run around freely in parks, knowing that I trust him to behave sensibly.
K. T.
Amazing! Emma has done a great job with our pup who is a really smart but very anxious border collie. The level of care and advice provided is unparalleled! We were kept in the loop the whole time our dog was on board and Emma was always honest about what our expectations should be. Arya absolutely adores Emma and had a great time at her board and seems much more confident. We were able to completely off leash her in the park as we had confidence in her recall. I would highly recommend Off-Leash!
U. P.
Our 3 year old GSD went to Hannah for a two-week board and train. Hannah has done a fantastic job helping our dog overcome aggression and leash reactivity. We also received regular progress updates via pictures and videos. Would highly recommend Off-Leash K9 Training
c. o.
I honestly can’t thank Hannah and the team highly enough! Hannah completely changed Alfie from a pain in the butt, to a pleasure to walk and be around, he no longer pulls on lead, so much calmer meeting other dogs, he is now much better at recall, comes back after 1 or 2 calls even if there is distractions from other dogs around. He is also calmer meeting most people, strangers he tends not the jump up anymore, people he knows he will jump as he is so excited to see them. Hannah has achieved this whilst keeping his amazing personality, he is still such a happy dog, loves his walks, loves the freedom of off lead, and still such a friendly dog to anyone. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking about it, just do it.

Brilliant, Ryan Robertson is the best dog trainer I have ever met !

Jackson did a great job with our 9month old GWP. We were having big problems with pulling/lunging on the lead and recall but only one day after getting her back from the 2 week board and train we felt confident enough in her new abilities to do our normal walk completely off leash. She's still got all the aspects of her personality that we love about her but so much better behaved.
L. B.
From start to finish we’ve had a fantastic experience with off-leash K9 training. We were fortunate enough to get a last minute cancellation for our 7 month old puppy who lacked attention and due to our hectic household didn’t have the time to dedicate to training ourselves.
Hannah put our minds at ease when we dropped our puppy off and explained the training thoroughly, we could tell from the minute we met her that she was a real dog lover and her passion for her work shone through in the incredible results. She regularly gave us updates including videos and photos which was also lovely to have.
The handover at the end took approximately 2 hours where we were shown the amazing results she had achieved. Obviously things don’t just happen over night and training has to be kept up afterwards but we honestly can’t believe the transformation that Hannah has achieved in such a short space of time.
We would highly recommend this company, they’re well worth the money !
Thanks again Hannah x

MIRACLE WORKERS. We rescued an 18mo staffie mix who had a rough past with zero recall, lead pulling, jumping, mouthing, the whole bag. We sent him to Bark & Birch for 7 (!!) weeks and he came back mostly the same and we were told he was 'too damaged' to be let off the lead and a couple of grand down. A few months later and we were really struggling because Kobe wasn't getting the exercise he needed and his behaviour just got more unpredictable.
Fast-forward to 2 weeks boarding with Emma and the team and what you see in the youtube videos is true - he's like a new dog! We're able to let him off the lead even around distractions and let him socialise with other dogs, all whilst maintaining the ability to recall him back if he gets aggy or tries to steal someones football. Slowly now with the right exercise and boundaries he's nearly a regular dog and Emma gave us all the knowledge to be able to continue his training ourselves - I cannot recommend them enough!!!
If you want to correct behaviour please don't waste your money on trainers who rely on treats like I did, if there's a football flying across the park there's no sausage in the world going to get them back reliably. Kobe still wears his training collar 4 months on but we barely use it and it's really just a safety net in case he bolts for something.
The best bit is that Kobe didn't want to leave, unlike most training places, he actually stayed in Emma's house and was considerably happier than when he boarded in kennels making the whole experience a win/win for both us and our doggo.
P. M.
Highly recommend our dogs trainer Emma! We had several problems with our two dogs - Westie and Golden. We decided to do a 2 week board and train after meeting with Emma. She changed our life in an hour.. before that walking with our dogs wasn’t pleasant. Now we spend a lot of time together
During 2week board and train Emma gives them a lot of love and they come back completely tired from her home. She sent us photos and videos. Our dogs love Emma! Nice to know that our dogs are under such good care. A big thank you Emma!
You are doing a really good job! 🙂🙂🙂

Highly recommend. We sent our 11month old Male German Shepherd to Off- Leash for the 2 week train and board program. He was pulling uncontrollably and not consistent with basic commands. Treats no longer worked. I was beginning to lose hope and to think we made a mistake getting a dog. After the program, we picked him up as a new Dog. Very consistent with basic and other commands but above all, heel walking very nicely. Now a joy to have and whenever we travel, we miss him. Emma the trainer is a star. She knows her stuff and genuinely a nice person who loves dogs. My experience is this company stands by their product. My 10 year old daughter even recommended them to her friend at school and they have also decided to pursue.
T. P.
I sent my 6 month old German Shepherd puppy for the two week board and train and I cannot speak more highly of the work Dalia at OLK9 did with her. I struggled with improving my dog's food & door manners, on- and off-leash heel, and recall, and Dalia did absolute wonders with her. My pup now calmly waits to be released for her food and to be allowed outside, she comes back when I call her off lead, and happily walks along next to me when I command her to do so. I couldn't recommend Dalia and OLK9 enough!
B. P.
My beautiful dogs and so happy with their transformation. It’s actually hard for anyone so see the difference in Woody. He was always a good learner but like a coiled spring. Now he is so much more relaxed and settled into his commands. Tilda, well she’s got a bit more pep when obeying commands and...she will lie “down” AT LAST! Plus I no longer have to lift the big lump into the back of the car!!
The best thing is they were able to train together as well as separately, so they are no longer each other’s biggest distraction. Only got home today but they seem so much happier and settled. Especially Woody. AND THEY DONT JUST OBEY ME ANYMORE...they obey all the family. Even the kids!
The trainers Ash and Emma were great and very communicative. It’s clear the dogs were both very comfortable with them from the off. Very informative handover to allow for transition back home and really I couldn’t have asked for more. Worth every penny and very happy.

My dog Rocky was a nightmare to walk because if he saw another dog he would literally pull me over to try and attack the other dog. He would drag me along the street, frequently pulling me onto the ground. I had to muzzle him in case he managed to grab another dog. I couldn't even take him out on my own because he was so difficult to handle. I had tried him with other trainers using various different training methods.
It was getting to the stage where I didn't even want to take him out at all because it was too stressful. Rocky wasn't far away from being 'put down' because of his behaviour, as the risk to other animals was too great.
But after just four lessons with Off-leash K9 training with the wonderful Emma, my Rocky is like a completely different dog. He is well behaved, walks nicely to heel next to me, sits when I tell him, and most of all doesn't bother with 'fixating' on other dogs. He is a pleasure to walk with now, and strangers come up to me and tell me what a beautiful well behaved dog he is. If only they had seen him before Emma trained him! They would have had a very different opinion.
Off-Leash K9 Training are first class trainers, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. I am so grateful to Emma and OLK9 Training for ensuring that Rocky has lots of happy and restful walks ahead of him.
K. L.
Absolutely best decision we have made to work with Scott and Off-Leash K9 Training.
Our 1-year-old Miniature Schnauzer Gus, who is a bundle of endless energy, has become very reactive on a lead to other dogs and barking at people and children. As a result, walks with him have become stressful and we wanted some professional help to get some rules in place.
Scott has really understood what we wanted to achieve from the 1 week board and train, the daily updates, questions he asked and the process have been very reassuring. Day by day we saw the progress Gus was making and Scott has clearly built an awesome relationship with Gus.
In the handover session, Scott has been great in explaining how to carry on with all the great work he did with Gus. Since, the last few walks have already been an absolute pleasure - he now comes back to us even when other dogs are around! It has really given us confidence in how to best handle him and be much clearer on how to communicate with him. Looking forward to now perfecting the loose lead walking.
S. P.
Having been experiencing some difficulty with our German Shepherd (Rocky), we are truly amazed over the results we received though the program. Sending a puppy away is not easy. However our assigned trainer, Ash, made us feel comfort with constant updates and videos of progression. After completion of the program we were most importantly given clear instructions on how to continue Rockys training within our own hands. Highly recommend.
S. B.
Couldn't recommend more highly.
At first we were hugely apprehensive that our 1 year old would lose some of his sparkling personality, however after 2 weeks with Hannah he came back just the same, though even more joyful and completely obedient. Before training he would pull us everywhere, and be unable to stay when asked. After training he walks everywhere, off lead by our side, and will happily wait in a place when asked.
S. D.
Amazing change in our beautiful boy. I was originally uncertain and concerned leaving him for 2 weeks but after calling and speaking to the office I was put at ease. We booked 2 week board and train, it was the best money we ever spent. Our boy suffers with anxiety but our trainer Hannah helped with calming his nerves, meaning he settles a more easily at home. He would always walk in front and never recall, he can back being able to heel, recalls every time and his 'place' is down to perfection. Our boy also started barking while on the lead at dogs as they pass, but now either has a little look and a sniff or just carrys on his merry way. We were kept informed throughout the 2 weeks and had no concerns. The only downside was that we missed our boys cuddles :-)
A. H.
Amazing results!! We have a 10 month old westie who is stubborn. Hannah really helped us with simple training techniques that results in happy owner and a super happy pup.
Would definitely recommend Off-Leash K9 training to any dog owner who needs some help with their dog. Great service from Molly who I initially spoke to and talked is through the different options, through to our trainer Hannah.
E. H.
Worth every penny! We left our darling Clarence in the hands of Eleanor for a two-week Board and Train. Clarence's hearing was selective, to say the very least, prior to Eleanor's magic and he had a tendency to pull aggressively on the leash. In addition, he was a proven escape artist, so something had to be done. Upon receipt of Clarence at the conclusion of his two-week Board and Train, we received an entirely different dog. Not only is he now more confident once out of the house, but he is generally a happier pupper and is extremely attentive to commands. We would recommend Eleanor and Off-Leash K9 Training and everyone!
K. M.
Kieron was an absolute superstar with Milo. We brought Milo to Off Leash because we had read so many amazing reviews and had been recommended by a friend. They certainly live up to their reputation. Milo pulled on the leash, didn’t respond to recall, had bad concentration outside with distractions and some aggression. Kieron went out of his way to understand Milo’s underlying issues and help us help him going forward to be a happier dog. The difference in Milo is outstanding. He is a pleasure to walk and can finally live out his country life dreams off leash. Cannot that Kieron and Scott enough! Would recommend them any time. Their hand over was amazing for teaching us in a super simple way how to handle Milo. It’s up to us now, but we feel very equipped.
F. B.
Ash and the team have done an amazing job with our 7 month old cavapoo, Lola!
She is so much better on her lead, listens to us far more but still is the lovely natured and fun filled puppy we wanted her to remain. Great job and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

My partner and I were at the end of our tether with our 2.5 year old English bulldog. His behaviour had dramatically deteriorated over the last year. He started to pull on the lead, he had absolutely no re call, he refused to listen to any command given and there have been a few incidences with him knocking over children, runners and even myself. As well as lunging into oncoming traffic which has resulted in me nearly being hit by cars. He was a complete liability to walk.
We couldn’t bring him around family or their dogs because his mounting, jumping and general behaviour made it so hard to relax. Either he had to be tethered up, which he would bark constantly at or we wouldn’t bring him. It was then we made the decision that something had to be done. Not only for our sake but for his too. Especially when we found out we were expecting our first child. Given his previous history with children and tending to charge at them in the park we were incredibly worried.
It was then that we looked into training and found the k9 offleash 2 week board and training course. It was well worth the money and the 6 month waiting! We wish we had done it sooner.
Our trainer was Eleanor. She has been an absolute angel with him. We explained our biggest concerns via email beforehand and she detailed what we were to expect from him when training was completed. We received regular updates via WhatsApp every day with videos of Reggie showing his progress. Putting my partner at ease as the course is not cheap but highly worth it when you see the benefits of it. Reggie is now so much calmer and is a completely different dog to the one we knew. Although we love the fact he still has his cheeky personality, he isn’t a robot which is what we were worried about. He’s just a trained version of himself. He listens, he sits, he heels, Place, down and waits at doors just to name a few. Eleanor even calmed him down at food time! Family are shocked at how well behaved he is in comparison to before.
This training course and the job Eleanor did with our Reggie has not only changed our lives but his too. His quality of life is significantly better because we can actually spend time with him without needing to discipline him or shout. It’s only positive behaviour from him now with the occasional reminding that he needs to listen. Don’t get me wrong this is a long journey and not a quick fix. We do have to reinforce the commands and ensure he understands that no means no but overall his behaviour is lovely. We didn’t buy Reggie with the intention to ever have to give him away and we wanted to exhaust every single option before we had to make the decision to rehome and thanks to this course and Eleanor we have our lovely big ball of Reg back.

Cannot thank Emma enough for transforming my dog! Rufa is a Spanish rescue Podenco & after 8 months of spending countless hours recall training I thought I’d never have her off leash due to her high prey drive. I booked the 4 hrs basic obedience training & after 2 sessions I had her off lead. Emma not only has great skill with the dogs she also communicates it simply for the owner! It fills me & Rufa with joy seeing her run free after rabbits knowing she will come back. Thanks Emma x
T. E.
Hannah has been amazing. When she took Maisie on she was quite nervous around people and very reactive to certain people and we were unable to calm her down. Now not only are we able to calm Maisie down in these situations, but also her training is now amazing, especially her ability to sit and stay. Hannah has a lovely manner with dogs and I couldn't recommend anyone more.

FULLY RECOMMEND!
The energy of our 3 year old rescue was hard to contain; she'd be fine with basic commands, but the moment there was a distraction or a "higher priority," such as food, she'd forget about any rules. Two weeks with trainer Eleanor has not just instilled the discipline to follow all commands, but that time has in fact added a quality of life to both dog and owner - we can take her off the leash, letting her roam freely in fields and woods, knowing that she returns on command; feeding her has become a much calmer affair as well.
One important thing: as positive as this experience has been, it is not a magic wand. The owner invests in continuing to instil these commands, sort of refreshing them, and thereby continues to train the dog, which takes time and discipline.
WOULD DO AGAIN.

Kieron was my dog's trainer and his best friend for the duration of his stay. Kenzo is now more calmer, smarter, and for the first time in his life I am in control. This training was a life changer for us and our dog. I can confidently let him off the lead without worrying if will come back. After his 2 weeks boarding training, Kenzo is much better with understanding what is a good practice and what is not. Kieron was looking after our boy like he was his own one and we had daily update on his progress with small videos. He learned new commands and he is now pleasure to go for a walk ( not a chase anymore). Well done Kieron.

Today was our first in home conference, our puppy was a little monster biting me and my partner and along came Hannah and taught us the simplest trick and he's learning quick not to! Hannah was honestly amazing and so playful with our pup, you can tell she really cares and that's what its all about! Would recommend to anyone honestly!

Rocky a 6 month german shepherd went boarding for two weeks with the trainer Kieran! He is unrecognisable, very calm, obedient and a completely changed dog! We used to have a problem with his heal, however now he listens very well and we have no problems with him at all. I would strongly recommend Kieron as a trainer. Very friendly and you can see that his work is what he loves to do.

Great company! Our two bulldogs went with Kieron for two weeks, amazing trainer and lovely guy. He sent updates of their progress throughout, the dogs came back properly trained and well behaved. Kieron made himself available to us over the phone after we took our dogs back if we had any questions/issues. Very good service!
M. G.
Kieron was really friendly, engaging and helpful throughout, addressing all of our concerns and ensuring we got the most out of the sessions. Barkley’s training came on significantly with his training and care, and we were able to see a measurable difference in all aspects of his training and obedience.
We opted for the full 2 week train and board program, which gives us peace of mind knowing we always have Kieron on hand in the future if needed.
We would happily recommend Kieron and the Off-Leash K9 Team to anyone that asks.

Spirit our dearest German Shepherd was so loving but suffered from serious nerves & anxiety so taking her out & having guests was almost impossible. We got a super amazing trainer "Emma". She was truly dedicated in making Spirit gain confidence, become calmer, have obedience & shower her with love in the process. The results unbelievable, I'm able the take Spirit on walks everywhere, she walks to heel and is improving everyday. She rides with me on the bus with people complimenting on how good she is. I honestly recommend off leash training, I can hand on heart say that you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Emma & Molly xxx

Fantastic! My 11 month old Rottweiler Capone, was a very hyper puppy, overly friendly and hard to walk. He terrified my 6 year old because he was always in hyper play mode. We couldn’t take him out on car rides due to the fact he was terrified of cars and didn’t always respond to commands. We were worried that he nor we were getting to bond together and that my wish for an integrated family dog was not to be.
Since Off Leash and Emma’s hard work, he has come home a different Rottweiler. I have the courage to let him go off lead, he responds to all my commands and has become an all together better behaved puppy. He now sits calmly by my 6 yr old for his daily strokes and has been in the car everyday for school runs with no hesitation. His behaviour in public has continuously been complemented on a regular basis. Amazing!!!
Thank you Emma.

My seven month old puppy, Mabel spent a week with Dalia. Dalia was absolutely lovely. Ahead of dropping Mabel off she was communicative, responsive and reassuring. She walked me through the training process in detail and did a thorough handover when I came to pick Mabel up. Mabel now walks on the lead without pulling, has excellent recall and is much less hyper. I’d happily have Dalia watch Mabel and completely trust her and the training process.

Seeing is believing! Leaving our Bundy for a week board and train we had our own expectation of what he would learn - never did we think he would be like those other dogs on the videos. Bundy was anxious, hyper and domineering. To say he has come home a changed dog wouldn’t be right! He has come home a relaxed, confident and a stable dog. From the very start Kieron was approachable understanding and helpful. We were so thrilled Kieron was assigned to us (we secretly had him as our favorite from watching his training videos) Kieron helped us not only with training but also understanding Bundy better with his dog psychology tips. We were sent updates and videos during the week with his progress. We now get excited taking Bundy out for walks (for the first time in 8 months)and seeing him interact with people other dogs, people on bikes etc with the confidence that he will listen and come back when off the lead, and having him on the lead walking easily and not pulling and getting distracted. At home Bundy is super chilled he lays down and relaxes, something he never did before. We can’t say enough about how thrilled we are with the results. Thank you Kieron.

My 5 year old French Bulldog called Bluebell has just finished her 2 week board and train with Emma.
Bluebell was overly aggressive towards new people and dogs, very territorial and wouldn't even let people into the house. Taking Bluebell for a walk was a stressful experience and she would lunge at people and other dogs walking past. To be honest, taking Bluebell for a walk, was no longer enjoyable and having people round to the house had become impossible.
When I met Emma for a consultation initially, I took Bluebell with me and she saw first hand how reactive Bluebell could be. For people who don't like dogs and even for those who do, Bluebell could be quite intimidating. However, Emma reassured me that her current behaviour could be improved and from the first meeting, I valued Emma's opinion and trusted her. So, I committed to the board and train. Best thing I ever did. I wish I had done it sooner.
The day I dropped Bluebell off at Emma's house, I was nervous. I didn't know whether Bluebell would adapt to her new environment and I was going to miss her terribly. I also felt incredibly guilty. However, from that moment, Bluebell has gone from strength to strength.
Emma sent me photos and videos of Bluebell everyday. Not only of Bluebell working on commands, heel training etc, but of Bluebell generally making herself at home and having cuddles - this was equally important to me. Knowing Bluebell was happy and relaxed was very reassuring for me.
When I came to pick Bluebell up, I noticed a difference in her behaviour straight away. Bluebell no longer lunges at other people and dogs on walks and now heels!!! I have had friends round every weekend since picking her up after her training and everyone has enjoyed her company and Bluebell theirs. Every aspect of Bluebell's behaviour has improved for the better.
I cannot thank Emma enough, she has helped Bluebell become a happier, more balanced dog. The change in Bluebell's behaviour has also transformed my life, as I no longer have to worry about having people over or worrying if Bluebell is going to lash out at someone.
Emma is a true professional, expert in her field, easy to communicate with and above all, a genuine dog lover. I cannot recommend Emma highly enough. Thank you again Emma.

We have a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel who we had tried just about every obedience course you could think of. We found Off Leash and after a lovely chat with Molly decided on the 2 week board and train. Hannah was our trainer couldn’t have asked for someone better for all our needs which were extensive to be fair not only had Toby developed an extremely stubborn temperament he had also decided that nobody could come into our home. Toby is our 13 year old daughters dog and she has been poorly now for sometime in and out of hospital and needs to use a wheelchair. She couldn’t walk Toby because he would pull away from her we struggled with all the pulling ourselves. Toby would become aggressive when anyone new visited the house. Toby also barked continuously when we ate.
Now for the new Toby unbelievable! He walks next to Zoe in her wheelchair off leash! He can press a button to open doors. He picks up items that my daughter drops on the floor. Waits patiently wherever we are.Toby sits while everyone goes out the front door waiting to be called, no longer barks whilst we are eating. Visitors to our home can now come in at first we keep him on place after a few minutes he then feels comfortable and approaches them for a stroke.
Walking Toby for all of us now is such a pleasure no longer having to pull him constantly back or steer clear of dogs and people.
We can’t thank Hannah enough,during his training we got updates and videos our daughter was in hospital for some of the time so you can imagine how special it was for her to see how he was doing and that he was happy and being cared for so well.
Hannah has also been great since we’ve had Toby home she’s followed up on how he is doing and we have been in contact.
So if like us you thought your dog could not be trained please give Off Leash a call they talk you through everything and really care about what they do. You only have to watch his video to see before and after. We had watched them and thought not achievable must be months of training but we are proof that’s not the case.
Thanks again Hannah and Molly for picking the perfect trainer for Toby.

We found the process very professional and reassuring. Despite a lot of effort our dog struggled to consistently obey commands and we lost all control in high distraction situations, limiting our ability to let him off the lead and for him to enjoy himself. He now enthusiastically responds to many commands and we have much more confidence in everyday situations. He also retained his cheeky personality and traits. Most importantly, Scott, our trainer, was very caring, informative and kept us up-to-date throughout the whole process and beyond. We could tell on pick-up that our dog had enjoyed his stay and he had also formed a great relationship with Scott’s own dog. We would highly recommend!

My puppy Klaus had a mind of his own and although he is a very sweet natured boy he could be a nightmare to handle. Being a Vizsla he was always on a smelling trail whilst walking on the lead which meant lots of pulling. He also liked to counter surf and jump on everyone he met. Klaus completed the 2 week onboard training with Hannah and since he's been back he's like a different dog! No more pulling, always listening to commands and not trying to outsmart us anymore. Hannah has been amazing and on call since we have been home which has been wonderful to have that support and 5 star service. Highly recommend K9!
J. C.
Our trainer Kieron was just brilliant, very eager to help us with any issues we had and was very knowledgeable. Our Doberman pup benefitted hugely from the 2 week course with him. Would definitely recommend.

We booked our 9 month old German Wirehaired Pointer for a 2 week board and train with Jackson. We'd put a great deal of effort into training her ourselves before this, and she could behave very well when we had treats to tempt her with. We had taught her various commands and put lots of effort into making her walk well on the leash. But without the treats her recall with distractions wasn't great and she would really only walk nicely on the leash when the streets were quiet, not past other dogs, etc.
She had developed some bad habits- picnic raiding when off leash in the park was a big problem. And more worryingly she displayed some resource guarding aggression when she had something she considered high value, like a tasty bone or pigs ear. She would growl if I came close and even snap at me if I tried to take these things off her.
The drop off process was simple enough although felt a bit quick. But we had daily contact with the trainer and received updates of her progress, including videos and pics.
Since she's returned from the training I am amazed at her progress. I actually hadn't realise we would be trained on the use of the e-collar ourselves but it makes sense to ensure she keeps up the good behaviour and learns to associate our voices giving the commands. We are having to use it occasionally to re-enforce commands but have been able to take her on walks without using the leash at all and only having to use the collar very few times. Her heel and recall are just no longer a problem at all. Really made walking in the busy park so much more relaxing, not having to be on the look out for anything she might be tempted to run off to chase, or food on the ground she'd want to eat! Such a great feeling having her walking at heel the whole time even past other dogs. And once at the park, using the release command she bounds off, runs around and plays with the other dogs just like before - we did worry she might lose her personality a bit, be a bit of a robot with all the training, but doesn't seem so at all!
They also worked with her in her guarding issues. We would use the leave command before and it would work some of the time but now it works no matter what she's chewing on, and without even necessarily using the collar! This means we can get things off her without her having a confrontation. So far we haven't seen her display any possessive aggression since she came home.
Very happy overall with the experience and so happy to have our little bundle of joy back home with us, behaving better than ever!
EDIT:
I'd originally given a 4 star review here. I had no problems at all with the training itself, but simply because the price is pretty substantial, I just thought on value alone I initially couldn't give 5. However having had our dog back for a week now I've been inclined to up the score to 5! The results are just so great and the feeling of having that control over her even in situations where there is real distractions, where previously I would have worried at her not coming back when I called, I'm now totally relaxed and calm. That feeling is worth the cost, even if it does seem a lot of money!

I booked my German Shepard Judge for the 2 week board and train with Emma.
Judge is a 4 year old rescue dog and has been with me for 2 years. In this time he had been taught all basic commands but was inconsistent with when he wanted to listen to them.
He was very reactive / aggressive towards other dogs and walking him was a nightmare.
After his 2 weeks training with Emma he returned a completely different dog the results were amazing, he now listens to every command, walks to heel and I can even socialise him with other dogs which is some thing I could never have dreamed of!!
This is a life long investment for both you and your dog and will improve your quality of life.
I would highly recommend this if you are having issues with your fur baby!!

My 9 month old German Shepherd, Narla spent a week learning recall and walking to heel.
I’ve had her back for a month now and rarely use the leash on her since she came home. When I do, she walks well.
I now have confidence she’ll come back so we both now have much more freedom when out walking and she enjoys herself much more.
Thanks for your help OLK-9. It would have taken ages to get to this point without your help.

The Off Leash K9 Training programme definitely responds to a real niche in the market where most other "dog trainers" fail to make significant or lasting progress. Emma has been absolutely fantastic with a huge depth of knowledge, passion and proactive training techniques both for myself and my two year old miniature poodle; Alfie. Emma was very accommodating around my busy work schedule and in just four lessons she has transformed Alfie from a disobedient and stubborn little mister into the delight I always imagined a canine companion to be. We now are able to comfortably integrate Alfie into our daily routine whilst out and about or at home without the stress that used to follow. I would strongly recommend the unique Off Leash K9 Training programme to anyone like myself who has struggled with dog training in the past and are desperate to see results and focussed attention. Thank you Emma for everything you have done and for the ongoing support!

OL-K9 a massive thanks.. Luna our year old german shepherd has returned from her 2 week board & train a vastly better behaved and well mannered dog. She’s calmer, has great door manners, food manners, loads into the car perfectly. she was a terrible puller on the lead to the point she’s yanked me into a tree before now... it’s remarkable how beautifully she walks to heel she listens and reacts to all the commands straight away and you can see she enjoys us enjoying the new and improved dog she is. Emma our trainer was amazing and so patient. 100% recommendation from us - it’s brilliant
R. D.
A huge thank you to Kieron at OLK9, we recently got back our cheeky 7 month old GSD Diesel who was a bit of a handful. His excitement levels where so high that he would sometimes be uncontrollable when outside. Things like, recall, heel and loose leash walking where non-existent. He also had issues with footballs in the park and smaller dogs, he’d just go crazy and want to run off after them.
After speaking with Kieron, we decided to go with the two week board and train. The following day after dropping Diesel off, Kieron kept us up to date with daily videos/photos of Diesel’s progress. What we couldn’t believe was that he had him heeling on day one, something we tried to do and failed each time! We cannot quite believe the difference in Diesel, he has only been back for just over 48hrs and we’ve seen a huge improvement in his behaviour already.
Kieron has already been giving us advice via the phone/WhatsApp too which is great. Can’t thank him enough for what he has achieved in two weeks, the results are brilliant. We just need to keep on top of it now and keep reinforcing what he has learnt.
A. L.
Emma the Head Trainer took my Rottie on a 2 week board and I honestly had seen all the videos of previous dogs she had trained but I really thought my Rottie youngster might be the first to fail... how wrong I was!! Emma really is a miracle worker! She is so good at what she does! My dog, after 2 weeks, really seems like any their dog & I know that Emma treated my Rottie girl like the part of the family from the moment she started her board there! Not only Emma, but all her family! I couldn’t recommend Emma and this company enough! 100% recommend!!
H. M.
Kieron was absolutely brilliant with our 11month Vizsla. I felt really confident leaving him for the week. The training was fantastic and we saw an instant different. We can now walk our dog off leash and he is completely obedient.
He sent daily pictures and upstates which was great. I highly recommend his services.
M. L.
Eleanor really cared for my young Whippet Franki 2 week board & train & did a marvellous job on training - recall is still ongoing but Eleanor gave me the tools to continue her good work - Eleanor was kind & caring & Franki was happy & settled with her. Don't hesitate to book this training!!!

We had a very anxious dog who we couldn’t get through to no matter what we tried. Had being past tense! Hannah was instrumental in turning things around, by the second lesson there was a massive shift and we haven’t looked back. Our dog is more confident and so are we! I can’t recommend Hannah enough. She is very knowledgeable, the dogs love her and she’s changed our world. 5*+++++++

We’d taken Clusaz, our Staffy cross to see multiple dog trainers over the years since we rescued him; due to his obsessive need to chase squirrels, cats, drones which meant he had to be on the lead and pulled like mad- driving us mad! We never thought we’d get him off the lead due to this and multiple fails with other trainers- but two weeks staying with Emma changed all this. Not only is he now off the lead all the time giving him the freedom he deserves, he’s learnt so many more skills whilst being in a loving home environment with Emma who clearly loved him and he loved her back.
M. H.
I honestly can’t thank Kieron enough. Shuri, our 9 month old Husky-Chow mix has been on the 2 week board and train programme with Kieron and I’m more than happy! Walking her was getting tricky for me, as she would get distracted and just not come back/run away chasing birds and squirrels. 2 weeks later and she stopped pulling completely, comes back when called and I wake up in the morning looking forward to spending time with her outside. Her door manners are flawless and so is her place to place distance/duration down. Admittedly, I was really nervous before giving her away for 2 weeks, but this was the best thing for both of us. Great communication with Kieron from the start, daily photo/video updates and support afterwards have made it surprisingly easy. It was also so lovely to see how Kieron treated her and that she was part of the family while she was with him as well as learning and having fun with his dogs during her stay. I’m really exciting to keep up her great training - this was honestly the best that could happen to Shuri and me.
M. J.
Our 18 month old Doberman went to Kieron for 2 weeks and it has been the best decision we have made! Before the training with Kieron, despite other residential training, Kobe was pulling on the lead, unable to recall reliably with high distractions and refused to drop his ball. Since coming back, Kobe drops his ball on command, can walk to heel without a lead even on a main road and comes back on first call when off lead. Kieron provided daily updates on progression and gave us a thorough hand over. Since the handover Kieron has been very helpful and always replies to messages quickly despite Kobe’s residential training ending. We cannot recommend Kieron and Off leash k9 enough!
R. F.
I can't rate this enough. After just 4 lessons with Hannah it's like we have a new dog! Bodhi was always a good boy but used to pull so much and just would not walk to heel. Once I got pregnant I literally couldn't walk him as he was so strong he would almost pull me over, he also chased every ball he saw and would go after any food he smelt no matter who was eating it! I knew something had to give...He is now the best behaved dog I have ever seen and our time together is quality time. He gets double the exercise and as a result is much calmer at home. I can't wait till next summer when we can go on picnics and enjoy them instead of dreading them. It's literally changed our life. Thank you Off leash k9 training, and thank you Hannah!
A. s.
I am so so so happy with the outcome of our training with Hannah ! Admittedly I was doubtful that the training would work as our Yorkshire terrier senti was incredibly stubborn, our main issues where barking in public, at the door with visitors or delivery’s and overall aggression and bad obedience. Hannah was able to teach us some great techniques to ensure that senti was able to understand what it is that we wanted from her and have now been able to have enjoyable calm walks. Visits from friends and family have improved greatly with a much more calm attitude with the “place technique” which has also helped with table manners when we are eating there is no begging or stares from our little girl 😂. I cannot thank Hannah enough I have learnt so much, the improvement of her behaviour has been outstanding! and am so happy we went with OLK9 london, would highly recommend to any dog owner who is unsure about the investment, definitely worth every penny.
Thanks again from Sentis family

I would highly recommend Off-Leash K9 Training. My 1 year old labradoodle was a nightmare to walk- she would pull on the lead constantly, no recall when out and was easily distracted by people, dogs, cats, birds etc so we sent her for the 1 week board and train with Kieron. Wow what a difference! She now walks nicely beside me on the lead, does not try to jump up on people as they walk by and we can now take her off the lead at the park for her to run free and enjoy herself and she will come back when we call her. I can't thank Kieron enough for all that he has done. It is so lovely that we can now take her out and all enjoy it. Thank you so much Kieron.
R. G.
Amazing! Ted our Cockapoo has just returned from two weeks with Hannah and he is just such a pleasure and delight to have in the house, he walks to Heel, will do what we ask him but has lost none of his warmth and friendliness. He is so well behaved, I can so highly recommend this company and Hannah to anyone who has issues with their dog, it's a magical transformation, thanks so much guys (and Love from Ted too XX)

Kerian from Off Leash K9 Training London providing a two week board and train course for our two dogs.
We would highly recommend Kerian and his colleagues! Both dogs have grown in confidence and obedience. The program is well structured and now allows our dog to interact fully with our growing family. The transformation in our dogs is simply amazing.
Kerian took great care of our dogs, we recieved daily updates and contact , even throwing a birthday party for one of them, I would have no hesitation in recommending this company, they certainly delivered what they promised.
We are looking forward to building on the training basis that have been provided, and enjoying more quality time and fun with our obident and disciplined dogs
Thanks again Kerian you really are exceptional at what you do - it’s great to meet someone who is so passionate about their work and enjoys there job so much

I really cannot fault my experience with off leash k9 London.
My trainer Emma went above and beyond to help me and my gsd Logan. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to make their dog the best it can be. And if I need future help with Logan or another dog I will definitely go back. I’d also like to thank ash for her help too.
Wot more can I say thank you for all the help

A BIG thank you to Emma at OFF LEASH .
Dudley a European Great Dane went to Emma for a two week training course in Jan/Feb this year.
Dudley was an unpredictable dog and very strong willed. Being the size he is other dogs were very weary of him and that would lead to encounters that were not satisfactory.
Emma gave us progress reports during Dudley’s time with her, it gave us great reassurance to know Dudley was well and happy, because leaving your dog or any pet is like leaving your child with someone you really don’t know.
When we collected Dudley he was of course pleased to see us.
Emma then took time to show us training methods she had used and she made sure Dudley responded to us using same, before we took him home.
It is now seven months on and we are pleased to say Dudley still behaves himself and it is a pleasure to take him out and about.
We cannot thank Emma enough.
We would recommend Emma at OFF LEASH LONDON to anyone.
We have remained in contact with Emma and are delighted to help and support her.
Thanks again Emma.
Best to you Paul Amanda Jake and of course DUDLEY

We couldn’t be happier with the results achieved by Off-Leash K9 Training London and in particular the trainer Ellen. It would not be an understatement to say that the training has changed our life for the better. Worth every penny!

Took my GSD here when he was 10 months old. He was really big for his age and with that came a lot of strength. He used to pull so much on walks that only one member of the family could walk him as he would drag everyone else around and they would have no control. He was highly distracted and would bolt off in the park when he saw another dog no matter how far they were. His recall was non existent and outside of home he was a different dog. Was super distracted and hardly listened. After the two weeks that he spent with Emma (the trainer) he was a different dog. He was so well behaved and listened perfectly. Emma trained us aswell, as in knowing how to deal with my dog and how to make sure he doesn't go back to his old self. Emma dealt with all his issues and went above and beyond with him when it came to everything. I cannot express how amazing Offleashk9 is and especially how amazing Emma is. Everywhere I go all I get is compliments from other dog owners on how well behaved my gsd is. He is now approaching 16 months and he is still so well behaved and I can't imagine where we would be and how much we would have struggled if we didn't get the training done. I am still in contact with Emma and she is always giving tips when ever I ask and is so helpful. I would not bother wasting any money with other trainers as they could not even help my gsd and treated him harshly. Offleashk9 is worth every penny and you will never regret going with them!

We completed the basic obedience course with Emma, with our cocker spaniel George. Before, George would run off and constantly pull whilst on the lead. However, since completing our training, we now have complete confidence and control on and off the lead. Emma was a pleasure to work with; welcoming, patient and knowledgeable.
A. R.
Emma at offleash training is amazing!
Did the 4 lessons of basic obedience with her...this has taught my 10month old GSD puppy to not pull when walking (heel), re-call,place and other correction work specifically to my dog. She is very patient, freindly and great at teaching! Worth every penney would highly recommend!

I have had Leya, now 2 year old GSD, since she was 1 year old. She had no basic manners, bit everything in her sight and pulled my arm off my socket. I was pretty despondent because I also have a 9 year old GSD and I was unable to walk or exercise him because of her crazy behaviour. ( and I mean crazy)
Thank God for Emma Hicks ( olk9). I only undertook the 4 sessions for basic behaviour. I was speechless to see Leya obeying her commands after 15 mins of training and after four sessions, she is nose to my heel and has leant and follows all the commands Emma has taught her. In the mean time, I have also been training myself to be more confident around Leya and other dogs- which Emma has helped me with advice.
Emma is a natural around dogs. She is kind at the same time assertive. Leya loves her ! I would recommend at least this basic obedience package but work on the dogs when we have time. I am enjoying having Leya around me now and actually enjoying teaching and training her. I thank the day I signed up for this course.
I hope to go back one day for some advanced lessons once we have mastered all that she has leant to-date.

Duke our 1 year old German shepherd who went for the teams 2 week board and train has come home a fresh and change dog.
Duke use to be terrible at pulling while on lead, wouldn’t listen to any command, would just do as he pleased. Was terrified of other dogs, due to an experience when younger.
Emma dukes trainer has worked her magic and given us back a well trained doggy, whom listens to commands & is willing to learn.
We now can walk off leash, at a heel, knows every command. The monent I collected duke I could see the bond him and Emma had made she’s brilliant & a grate teacher.
K9 off leash have definitely given us our doggy back.
Definitely recommend, best thing we have ever done.

Well what can I say. Nunook was a nightmare before and now hes a dream! Did the initial consult with Emma and even after that I could see a slight change in him.
Sent him for the 2 week board and train and not only were the updates, communication and responses to my worries spot on but the videos showed how much he was improving day to day.
He's like a different dog. I can finally have friends round without the fear of him terrorising them and can leave him unsupervised for longer lengths of time without worrying what destruction I'll come back to!
Thank you so much to Emma and the team for the ongoing support I have received.
Highly recommend xx

Our 6-month-old Lurcher puppy Nova went to stay with Ashley at OLK9 for two weeks. A lovable little minx, but very wilful and disobedient, Nova needed something more intense than the usual training regimes - walking to heel and recall in particular were troublesome. Ashley sent us updates, photos and videos every day and we were astonished at Nova's progress. She has returned still the same little minx, but now an obedient one who walks nicely, comes when called, and whilst still a bouncy bundle of energy that loves to play now also knows when its time to stop. OLK9 use a simple set of commands in conjunction with a 'TENS'-type collar - it doesn't deliver an electric shock, it's a tingle that tickles a muscle in the side of the neck and reinforces the commands and behaviour until the dog understands what is required. I've tested it on myself and it is NOT a shock-collar. Nova now only needs a tiny reminder once in a while - in fact, I mostly use the 'find' function which makes it vibrate like a mobile phone so you hear it buzz if you've misplaced it, and that is enough for her to remember what she's supposed to be doing if she forgets. OLK9 isn't cheap, but you're getting a professional service provided by trainers who love and care for dogs (Ashley has two of her own) and who deliver on their promises. Highly recommended!

I brought my 1 year old highly-energized Spaniel here after a year of him developing bad habits - leash-pulling, jumping up on people, poor recall, and the common spaniel inability to sit still. He did the 1-on-1 training course and came back to me with all of the above changed! It has changed everything with living in a city - easier to let him run wild in the parks, knowing he will turn and sprint back to me if needed, easier to sit in cafes and restaurants knowing he will stay calm, and easier to walk anywhere without him pulling. I cannot recommend enough. Additionally he got plenty of time with other dogs while training 1-on-1 - training with distractions - and then having playtime with all of these other dogs. He came back happy, far more attentive, and most specifically knowing exactly what commands are requesting of him. I would recommend this to anyone as an investment in both their dog's and their own happiness - it's easier to go places and do pretty much anything together. Thank you!!

We have a 15 month old German Shepherd called Bear and whilst she is generally lovely and obedient she definitely had a lot of work to be done! Before completing the Basic Obedience course Bear pulled like a steam train on the lead, we’d tried lots of recommended methods and none of them seemed to work at all and she was getting bigger and stronger and was definitely in control when we were out for walks. Walk time became a chore, not enjoyable at all and to be honest was embarrassing walking her down the road looking totally out of control with this big beast dragging me or my boyfriend along. It must’ve looked terrifying for people looking on as it just looked so out of control. Something needed to be done it was getting too much. She also has a bad habit of having to charge over to everyone to greet and sniff them and wanting to play, all very innocent as a puppy but being a GSD she is huge for a puppy and it could be very intimating for parents with children seeing this big dog running towards them.
Anyway we met with Emma at Hampstead Heath and she has really changed everything. Bear is SO much easier to control now, with the collar on she is an angel on the lead, she does not pull at all, she just trots nicely next to you with only very few minor corrections now and we are working on not having to use it at all. I can get her to ‘come’ first time and ‘heel’ to sit on my left side. Emma also kindly took the time to do some off lead work with Bear and me, we are still practicing but I can get her to heel next to me off lead and walk past distractions with her next to my leg at all times until she is released which is really helpful when you notice a dog on the lead or something Bear wants to charge over to that might not be safe.
Emma herself is great and it’s clear she is boss when taking over to show us what to do, she definitely knows what she is doing. She has lots of her own dogs and loves them to pieces, she showered Bear with affection and treats and Bear would run over to her excitedly every time she saw her. Dogs get frustrated when they don’t understand what you want them to do as they are so eager to please so when Bear was ‘getting it’ she seemed to really enjoy the training. Emma is really friendly and easy to get on with and always happy to answer any additional questions you have about tips for training etc. I would highly recommend her to anyone and Bear is my baby so I would never have anyone I didn’t trust training her or if I ever thought any of the training methods would harm her or be upsetting for her. You do of course have to put the effort in to train your dog yourself after being shown what to do if you opt for the courses rather than boarding but we didn’t mind as found it really enjoyable working with Bear and seeing her understand what you are trying to communicate to her. Also I found even just Emma doing her thing with Bear for fifteen mins or so during the sessions she was already well on her way to understanding so was a great basis for us to go home and improve on.
All in all we are very happy we chose to go with K9 Off Leash Training and it/Emma really has changed our walks together which are now much more enjoyable and Bear is so much easier to control which in turn makes as all much happier. Thank you Emma and K9 Off Leash Training for everything!

Highly recommend our dogs trainer Hannah. Very good at communicating with us and updating us throughout the two week board and train. She has managed to transform our dog and we are so thankful for her hard work and dedication!

We got Taz, an Italian mastiff at a year old from Battersea. He'd had no training and was very stubborn. Although a lovely boy he was so difficult to train. Our first lesson with Hannah was like a watershed moment. It was like a lightbulb going off in his mind. He just keeps getting better and better. It's opened up a whole new world. We can finally take him to places like Virginia Water off lead with so much more confidence. He also listens to us at home and has made a lot of dog and human friends. If you have any doubts, don't. Just call Hannah, she'll definitely help and put your mind at rest. Thank you so much Hannah. :-)

Incredible training our naughty Frenchie is now a perfect dog ! Amazing trainer Emma was both friendly and approachable, brilliant communication would highly recommend. Our dog Loki loved her so much we sent him to board whilst on holiday and he loved it he came home sulking ! Thanks again 10/10
s. S.
Hannah came in for a puppy consultation at my house, she clearly explained everything to us since we’re having a puppy for the first time, she enjoyed being with the puppy that she ended up staying longer. I will definitely book her again for another training. She even answered any questions through the phone. The service she provided was worth every penny I paid.

The board and train facility is 5 star! In just 2 weeks your dog will come back with perfect manners and be a pure delight to walk. We all know French Bulldogs can be stubborn and hard to train so we thought let the professionals take care of it and make our life with our dog an absolute pleasure. Cannont reccommend enough! Well done guys.

Emma and the Off-Leash team are a god send. I can’t rate them highly enough. *****FIVE STARS*****
I first contacted Off-Leash in October 2018 after a very miserable and demotivating puppy training class with the Dog’s Trust. I honestly was at my wit’s end – As a first-time dog owner I was completely out of my depth and I had enlisted a trainer to come to the house to work with my GSD puppy Enzo. The first trainer told me that I would eventually need to get Enzo put down as he was proving to be untrainable. I then enrolled us into puppy training classes with the Dog’s Trust where I was judged for buying my puppy an expensive harness and ignored for most of the class by the trainer. So as you can imagine I was desperate and thankfully via a google search and after reading all of the amazing reviews we found Off-Leash K9 Training and Emma.
After contacting Off-Leash they put me in touch with Emma who came to our house to meet with Enzo and I, and she changed our lives. Enzo loved Emma from the first meeting (as did I), he took to her instantly and she was already teaching him things during their first meeting and engaging with him in ways I hadn’t seen the other trainers do. So I immediately decided to enrol Enzo on to the 2 week board and train programme and we’ve not looked back since. Emma gave me the confidence I was lacking to be able to take care of Enzo and guided me into becoming the dog mum Enzo wanted and needed and returned to me a dog to be proud of Nowadays when I take Enzo out and about people are always complimenting me on what a well behaved and obedient puppy he is and I always tell everyone that all the credit goes to Emma and Off-Leash. – thank you Emma.
Before meeting Emma, walking with Enzo wasn’t pleasant – he would bite the lead, pull and drag me out of the house and on our walks. Enzo once pulled me out of the back door causing me to sprain my ankle. Enzo also had an issue with in and outdoor manners, he would jump up and bark at anyone walking past us in the street or anyone coming to the house.
In the run up to Enzo’s board and train Emma helped me socialise Enzo with other dogs, invited us on walks with her to save me from another sprained ankle, gave me so much help and advice on how to care for Enzo. I honestly couldn’t have done any of it without Emma.
And since returning from his board and train, everything has changed – Enzo now walks calmly next to me and doesn’t drag me along anymore, nor he does he bark at and frighten poor passer byers anymore.
During the 2 week board and train Emma sent me daily updates via videos and pictures showing me all of the progress Enzo was making.
Enzo loves Emma! Whenever he hears her voice he starts searching for her getting all excited and we can’t wait to see her again soon. Enzo’s board and train was the first time he was going to be away from me and I was completely at ease knowing that he was going to Emma who I knew would take great care of him and love him as much as I do.
A big, big thank you Emma!

Kieron was extremely helpful , he took ample time to train not only Max (1 yr Cockapoo) but us as owners. We now feel we have the tools to continually ensure our dog stays on the right track.

Hannah has been brilliant. We have had to keep our Border Terrier, Dee, on the lead for the last 3 years when she became defensive towards particular dogs after being attacked several times. Now we are able to let her off the lead, play fetch and spend time with other dogs. We ( and Dee) can't recommend Hannah enough.
A. L.
I cannot rate Emma/OLK9 highly enough, I had spent thousands on Dog trainers before I finally hit the jackpot with Emma. I have a large dog who, although has a lovely nature, had a habit of chasing after horses and barking at them; putting himself, the horse and rider, and myself in danger. His recall was all over the shop during high energy moments, and this was when it was critical for him to listen. Emma not only built Bear’s confidence, but mine as his guardian and leader, and my heart no longer sinks into my stomach with fear when we see horses. Bear now happily walks past horses, sits calmly whilst they walk past, and even comes back when called, when he has spotted horses cantering past us at pace – all the while with his attention firmly on me and exhibiting all of this wonderful behaviour whilst fully off lead! Emma clearly has a passion for her job as a trainer, topped with an amazing breadth and depth of experience and knowledge, and is very clear and logical when it comes to helping you to understand and manage your Dog's behaviour. It is more than apparent that Emma loves the animals she works with, and all our training has been fun and positive, at the same time as results-driven and making us face our fears head on, which has been enjoyable and confidence building for us both. After spending so much money elsewhere before finding Emma, I will happily tell anyone, don’t waste your time and money, go straight to Emma/OLK9, I promise you will not be disappointed.

My 7 month old very excited and very strong rottie spent a week with Scott and completely changed leaving the house with her for me.
She pulled an incredible amount and jumped up towards everyone we passed.
Now she completely understands the correct walking position and has recall! Scott explained everything to me really well and I can finally enjoy taking her out!
A. D.
Fantastic company and Emma took our 6
Month GSD for a 2 week board and train - couldn’t be happier with the training and the after care and support - highly recommend Olk9 for any dog and owner. Emma was always very caring and supportive to advise us about our family pet.
M. M.
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience. I had constant contact from the start - all brilliant! Kieron was especially lovely and it's clear he really loves dogs. He has done a smashing job. Thanks to Off Leash for making our lives easier. Would give 10 stars if I could!
A. M.
I have a 2 year old American akita named kubo, who was showing signs of reactivity and aggression towards other dogs. Emma was an absolute super star and really showed both kubo and I how to handle different dog interactions & situations. During the 4 week course kubo showed amazing signs of improvement and was walking without a lead next to German shepherds and even a young, boisterous Doberman. Amazing! Couldn’t recommend off leash and Emma more highly! Thank you
D. D.
I don’t normally write reviews however on this occasion it’s so worth it! The difference in my dog is night and day, and I can only thank one amazing lady that made that happen. “Eleanor” is a credit to your company and what astonishing results and feedback I got from my dog , regular updates and pictures and amazing videos of my dog so happy and relaxed , knowing she was in such good hands, made me feel at ease, it isn’t easy leaving your best friend and companion alone with a stranger for 2 1/2 weeks , but Eleanor made that experience even more better for letty , I’d defiantly wouldn’t be hesitant to use your services again but I’d make sure that Eleanor was tasked to take upon my duty of care. 😊

Winnie seemed to love her time there, she came back with all the skills she needed to be the perfect family dog. They train without breaking the dogs spirit.
A.
Thank you to Kieron and everyone at OLK9 for their hard work. Our little pup, Hippo, was a cheeky chappy and ran rings around us. Since his two week board and train, he has still maintained his personality but will now actually listen to us making life much more enjoyable for everyone. Thank you so much, the change has been incredible and we are very grateful.
M. M.
My German Shepherd X went for his 2 week board and train with Emma, Emma was very caring and Milo loved her straight away after she picked him up. Milo had problems with heal he would pull me over, bark at people and chase joggers. None of these problems exist anymore thanks to the hard work of Emma. Thanks so much, 5 stars 🌟 …
C. B.
Our bouncy Boxer needed to calm down a bit without losing his fun character. First day back after a week with Kieran and the difference is noticeable. Pulling less, recall better and less jumping up. Kieran warned us the first week back with us would take time but so far we are seeing big improvements.
H. K.
This rivew is for Kieron .
I have got a 6 months old german sheperd who is treated as a family member from the first moment .
He is extremly attached to me , he is my everything , and for this reason i never said no to him for anything and actually i ended up by giving up on my job and went till a point i could not even go for shopping.
His separation anxiety was also very bad, furthermore he could not tolerate any of my friend especially kids around me . At this point i decided i need to take action as he took proper controll of my life . Contacted Kieron to start a 2 weeks board and train for him.
What Kieron has done it is more then amazing , i can not describe with words how i feel . I have got a different dog back. I can take him for a walk without leash ( before with 2 leash was needed and it was a running rather not a walk ) he is absolutely listening to me , doing every command . Today i went to a busy market with him without leash , lots of people and kids were around , which i could not even dream of before , now it was absolutely a miracle . I feel extremly proud of him and so much Gratitude for Kieron , who has done this fantastic job with him. I feel i have got my life back and in the same time my dog is the best behaved dog .
Thank you so much Kieron , if i was need to choose again i would choose him / Kieron and i highly recommend him to everyone .

Honestly I struggle to put into words quite how amazing Off Leash K9 have been and what our trainer "Emma" has done for myself and my family. We sent our 6month old French bulldog puppy to Emma for a "2 week board and train" due to him
•not being able to follow or focus on any commands when out and about
•running off when off leash with their being ANY distraction at all
•wouldnt lift his nose off the ground when out with constant sniffing + picking up anything he could get his paws on or close too
• and just general manners and calmness around other dogs
Sending him to Emma was the best decision I and my family could of EVER made🙊♥️ she's given our family a transformed true absolutely amazing frenchie and myself a constant best friend,little shadow,support/therapy dog just everything in which any command I give him wheather inside or outside our home , no matter how much distraction may be going on, he follows that command on first time when I ask. I'm able to easily without any struggle walk through my busy town center with him beside me walking to heel (even if /with crowds of people around ,pigeons around, little kids, cars, bicycles, food etc he stays in a heel position which literally couldn't be any further from than what he was like before" we sent him to Emma) She's an absolute rare diamond of a trainer and if theirs any thought in your head about sending your K9 to Emma/ Off leash K9 don't even hesitate or worry as a millions percent I and my family couldnt of imagined making any better of a decision and Emma really is a one in a million trainer who treated our beautiful boy with just the same ammout of love and constant care as we give him ♥️ and he really couldn't of been happier than when we went to pick him up, he adores Emma and even hearing her voice in old video messages / updates months later he gets excited and really loves his trainer Emma .

Brilliant and effective training, my Josie responded brilliantly and is a much happier dog as a result of us being about to control her! So pleased we had Hannah training us, she was so good with me and Josie and we've had such a good experience.
M. B.
We were absolutely satisfied from Toby's training in Off-Leash Training Center, located in a beatifull, green site, next to a forest in London and Emma is really a special trainer, who truely love dogs and reflects her positive energy and spirit in the work she does, which I believe was instrumental for the great outcome, in our experience. To sum up: I highly recommend Off-Leash K9 Training and Emma
H.
Without the help of Hannah I would have one little sassy princess on my hands! Thank you so much for your professionalism and knowledge. Not only do I now have a brilliant, well behaved pup, I have learnt the skills to be the owner she needs. I do and will always recommend Hannah and the team at K9.
M. R.
I had decided to take Snowy (my dog) for training to Tasmin because he didn't come when I called him, he was very lively and excitable when he saw other dogs, he jumped all over them, and it created many problems with other people. Now after two weeks training, he is a completely different dog! He walks beside me calmly and he doesn't pull me anymore, and also when I call him he comes straight to me. He is not bothered at all with other dogs now and doesn't cause problems. I reccommend Tasmin 110% and she is worth every penny. Thank you Tasmin, you made my life so easy now!
S. M.
Hannah has been amazing wkwi my little Charlie. Was struggling with him biting to play and just in the first lesson we goggreat tips to handle him and improvement has been sensational (my hands are the proof!). After 4 leasons I am much more confident in dealing with him both indoors and outdoors! Highly recommended !
M. F.
Hannah looked after our pup so well and trained him beautifully, we couldn't be more pleased with the things he has learned; he also seemed to genuinely enjoy himself and the home environment he stayed in. Thank you OLK9!
W. M.
Two week board and train for dog with aggression problems. Came back a completely different dog! Thank you so much Hannah, was great with him and gave me heaps of updates on his progress
C. d. A.
Hannah has been amazing with our 2 year old Poodle... he was reactive towards other dogs and puppies which resulted in us having to keep him on lead all the time which was frustrating for him and us...
He used to pull really hard on the lead too when he saw another dog, cat, bird or squirrel...and he never stayed in place when we had to answer the door which resulted in us having to run after him as soon as the door was open...
However after his two week board and train with Hannah he has come back a different dog... he is so relaxed, calm, has learnt to ignore dogs that approach him and simply carry on and enjoy his walk...he listens to what we ask him to do and is great on a loose leash walk... The turnover (on collection) was a great training tool for us as owners too as it helped us understand him and how clear we need to be with what is required of him...
We received a lot of updates during his stay and are really enjoying having our boy back... thank you once again Hannah...
I. S.
Dudi and I had the best experience with our trainer Hannah . I could say that as a result to our training with her we are both much happier and get along better . I am very thankful to Hannah for showing us how to train and make the process fun too . :)
M. P.
They did a fantastic job with my Boston Terrier. And they took great care of him. I don't believe he wanted to leave! I highly recommend Off-Leash!

My Dog Scooby came back amazing.
It’s so much easier doing things in general but taking him out is awesome! Goes everywhere without a leash! Thanks Kieron and would highly recommend
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Luna came back the same dog but with much better manners! Hannah was great and kept me updated all the way. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
s. r.
I want to thank Hannah so much for training and taking care of my dog in the 2 week course. Hes much more confident, responds when spoken to and enjoys cuddles much more than before.
Thanks for all your help!
J. W.
My dog, Toby, was having bad behavioural problems. Off-Leash K9 Training really helped both of us. Life is so much calmer! I would definitely recommend this company.
E. C.
Hannah is an absolute miracle worker. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only has Hawley come back as Hawley version 2.0, he clearly enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you Hannah, this will completely transform our lives.
D. O.
Absolutely amazed at the results of my dog I can’t believe it’s the same pup, I thought about giving him up as I used 3 trainers already but the results have been out of this world I can honestly call my baby a member of our family thank you Emma and off leash.
D. E.
Both Molly and Hannah were very professional and incredibly supportive. This is a training school that genuinely knows what they are doing - and they both went above and beyond to help me. Thank you

Kieran is a great dog trainer really helped with our German Shepherd, would definitely recommend end
R. H.
Excellent training for Dogs, Hannah showed us how we could tame our rescue Cane Corso and he is now a completely different dog, so very obedient and very happy

I would recommend to anyone. Highly professional and well organised. The results are amazing and I can enjoy going out much more now because I am in control when needed.

Great customer service. Really well informed throughout the training, my dog is now really good off leash!

Don't go anywhere else - from obedience, to aggression and service work, these ladies are the best around. Give them a ring and see for yourself!

Excellent service my dog has come on leaps and bounds since we attended this training course

I was wary of hiring professional trainers after having done so before that didn’t really do much. Bear is eight months old and a good boy but he’d pull on the leash hard enough that our walks would really turn into runs.
Dorsa is absolutely incredible. She not only trained Bear in the little time we’ve had together to heel, but to sit and lie down. He’s incredible on the leash now and I can’t imagine having done this without Dorsa. More so, she’s kind, loving and affectionate with Bear and both Bear and I trust her entirely.
I’d hire her for every dog I ever have in the future if I’m able to. Thank you, Dorsa and Off-Leash K9 Training London!
N. S.
I had looked high and lo for a company that trained with e-collars as that's what I felt my dog needed. I was matched with my local trainer / k9 hero Dorsa and I can't recommend her highly enough. Big plus is she loves dogs!! You'd think that's a given but I'd gotten through 2 dog trainers from different companies who didn't want to connect or bond with my dog at all.
Dorsa is a breath of fresh air in this industry and both my dog & I loved seeing her every week for our sessions.
J. W.
I highly recommend Eleanor to anyone who wants to train their dogs. I always think that only puppies can be trained but Eleanor proves that I am wrong.
She trained my 4-year old toy poodle Prince with love and patient which turns Prince to a calm and obedience dog after 2 week board and train.
Eleanor is a kind and responsible trainer. She updates the training progress of Prince every day with lots of photos and videos.
She also keeps following up on Prince’s training outcome when he backs home and provides guidances whenever I have a question.
Thank you Eleanor!
D. S.
Dorsa is lovely, friendly and understanding trainer. She really understands the needs of our dog Duke and how to get the best out of him. She uses excellent way for our puppy to learn things and Duke loved her. Training is structured and builds on the previous weeks, and we came away with some really useful tips and techniques to ensure us and our dog are able to communicate effectively with each other.Thank you Dorsa we were very lucky to have you now I can deal easier with Duke
A. L.
Was very impressed with K9, we have a two year old reactive border collie who would go after bikes and joggers. After two weeks with Hannah he is now much better, we can let him off the lead and recall him with confidence. He can walk to heel and responds well to verbal commands. The difference is amazing and it has made our lives so much easier. Walks are less stressful and more enjoyable, didn’t think it could be done but Hannah has done an amazing job, Would highly recommend to anyone.
K. K.
This training programme was perfect for our 8 month old husky. Kiro was constantly pulling on walks and would not listen to commands outside the house. Within a week Ryan was able to completely transform his walking, which many other trainers could not do. He now listens to the heel command and also other commands both in the house and outside. Updates are constant from start to finish and communication with Ryan is very easy. The handover session at the end of the training was perfect and Ryan took his time to ensure we know how to do everything correctly. I would highly recommend Ryan, he is clearly very experienced and took good care of Kiro.
K. N.
Had really good training sessions with Hannah. Very impressed with how quickly my dog picked up the instructions! A lot of work to be done at home, but that’s part of the process, so very happy overall!
A. A.
Andrea has been instrumental in sorting out our rescue dog Moose's recall! We did the 5 day training as Moose had a horrible time in kill shelters in Bosnia and so is very sensitive when it comes to crates, and the work Andrea did with him in that short time is amazing. His recall is now very reliable after having had times where Moose ran away from us constantly on walks and we ended up being terrified to drop the leash. He is now a happy dog who can run all he likes, and we know he will come back to us. All his other commands are great too. Thank you Andrea and Off-Leash K9.
