CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!!!! Opted for the 2 week board & training program. Trainer Chance has been a God send!! My dog was unruly, reactive to everything. Chance sent videos & updates consistently, it brought tears to my eyes! It was like a whole new dog! Chance is amazing with dogs and was very caring and sensitive to the needs of mine. Chance is the absolute best trainer!!! I know my dog misses him, but he gave me the confidence to keep the commands and regimen going!!

Choose Chance! Chance was wonderful!! He treated our German shepherd like his own and worked day in and day out with her. When we picked her up we were so pleasantly surprised with the obedience of our pup and we are so thankful for this opportunity! Thank you, chance for everything!!!

This was exactly what our Chinese char pei / German shepherd mix needed. He actually acted like he gained purpose through this training.

Avery was fantastic and helped us figure out the right approaches to handle our dogs. Despite one being stubborn, they both picked up basic manners and direction to follow in just one week of their board and train program. We can’t wait to do a second one to push it even further and they really make it easy for your to maintain the structure when your dog comes home!

Thank you so much, Kelsie, for the wonderful 5-star review! We truly appreciate you trusting Avery and Off Leash K9 Training with your dogs. We’re thrilled to hear that both pups made such great progress during their one-week Board & Train program, even with one stubborn personality in the mix! 😊

One of our biggest goals is to not only train the dogs, but also make sure owners have the tools and confidence to maintain that structure and continue building on their success at home. It means a lot to hear that you found the process easy to follow.

Thank you again for your kind words and support. We can’t wait to work with you and your pups again for their next program and take their training to the next level!

Hank the wild Golden Chance did an amazing job with our wild field golden Hank. He is like a totally different boy now. He listens to commands, he walks right beside us, he isn't jumping and crazy. We did the 2 week training. It was well worth it. Only thing is, I think our Hankie did miss Chance when he came home lol. When we would watch videos..he would be looking around for Chance..he heard his voice. Chance sent us numerous updates, videos and pictures. It definitely made it easier being away from our boy. We are so happy, and thankful. Our furbaby went away a boy, came back a man lol 😆

10/10 recommend! We couldn't be happier with the results from our 6 month old Golden Retriever's two-week board and train program with Chance! The transformation has been incredible. Before training, walks were very challenging, but now he walks calmly both on and off leash and listens well to commands. Our puppy not only learned important obedience skills, but he also learned how to interact more appropriately with our family, making life at home much more enjoyable for everyone. Chance clearly cares about the dogs he works with and took the time to set our puppy up for long-term success. We know that training is an ongoing process, and we still have to continue working with him at home. We are grateful for the knowledge, guidance, and confidence he gave both our dog and our family. Highly recommend!!

My 3 year old German Shepherd and I both had awesome experiences at Off Leash K9 Training of Dayton! My dog entered Chance Turner’s care leery of most things, and lacking confidence. All in all my dog was an anxious guy who loved too pull in the leash and conveniently dismiss his ability to recall commands he had learned with me (sit, stay, down, off, shake) when he was asked to perform the actions in new places. My dog left with the confidence to take on new spaces and people, the ability to take the command “watch me” seriously when trying to get his attention, and I left with a new level of trust in my dog I didn’t know possible! I would highly recommend the 2 week board and train program. I got many updates throughout the 14 days that allowed me to witness my dog’s progress AND an in depth session with the trainer when I picked my pup up!

Thank you, Trisha — we’re thrilled Chance helped build your dog’s confidence and that the 2-week board-and-train, regular updates, and pickup session gave you the trust and tools you were hoping for. It’s wonderful to hear your shepherd is responding to “watch me” and handling new spaces with more ease. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are here for any follow-up support you might need.

Thank you OLK9 Dayton!

Thank you so much, Cheryl, for the wonderful 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Avery and that Remi did so well during training. Seeing our clients enjoy the results and build better communication with their dogs is what it's all about.

We're especially glad you appreciated the nightly texts and pictures. We know how important it is to stay connected while your pup is away, and Avery truly enjoyed spending time with Remi and treating her like one of his own.

Thank you again for trusting Off Leash K9 Training with Remi. We appreciate your support and are honored to have been part of her training journey!

A few years ago, we sent our dog to K9 for board and train. We were very pleased with the results. So it was a “no brainer” that we send our two 1yo pups to K9 once again. We dropped off two unruly, energetic, out of our control, pups. We got back two well behaved, well trained and socially acceptable young dogs. For me, the culmination was taking the most energetic of the two, and being able to garden in my UNFENCED yard, while watching her run and play off leash. She returned every single time for my command ‘come”. I am so proud of Jersey, and thrilled to be able to have her off leash and obedient. Thank you SO MUCH AVERY!! This is exactly what we wanted. I look forward to reporting more of our positive results. One issue we had was Jersey being too energetic with little ones, in particular one granddaughter. I was so happy to see this one snuggled up on the couch with a gentle and calm Jersey! In the future, I plan to start the training much earlier. It is pricey, but the results are life changing for this family!

Thank you so much, Stephanie, for the amazing 5-star review and for trusting us once again with your pups! ⭐️🐾

Hearing stories like this is exactly why we love what we do. Taking an energetic young dog into an unfenced yard and confidently watching her run, play, and come back every single time is such an incredible feeling! We are so proud of Jersey and thrilled that you’re already seeing life-changing results at home.

One of the best parts was hearing about Jersey calmly snuggling with your granddaughter — moments like that truly make all the hard work worth it. ❤️

Thank you again for your kind words and for giving Avery the opportunity to help your family. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to hear even more success stories in the future! 🐶

I cannot say enough good about this program. I basically went in with a wild dog and with Chance’s calmness and knowledge, the dog did a 180. I highly recommend this training.

Mowgli is our 1 year old labradoodle. We took him for a two week stay with Avery, Mowgli’s trainer. I was hopeful, but if you knew Mowgli, you know he’s one crazy pup. Please believe me when I say…we took home a totally differently behaved dog!! Mowgli is still himself, but he isn’t jumping. No more, digging, no more grabbing shoes and socks and hauling ass. The entire household is more calm. My heart rate is down. And so is his’s big brother Rohan, (he is a Great Dane). He isn’t digging in the garden. Avery kept telling us “Mowgli needs to build confidence.” I wasn’t really sure how that pertained to a dog. But I get it now. Somehow I see his confidence and can pair it with his improved (crazy improved) behavior. It seems as though it was money we might have loved to save. But if you get a dog and they live with you their entire life, it’s worth every penny. Happy puppy. Happy family. Happy and calm life. Do yourself a favor, get Avery to train your dog and then you!! Amazing!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Barbara. We are thrilled that Avery’s confidence-building program helped Mowgli curb jumping, digging, and shoe grabbing and brought calm to your whole household, including Rohan. It means a lot to know the training has made everyday life more peaceful and worthwhile for your family. We look forward to supporting you both with any future refreshers to keep those great behaviors going.

Carissa did an amazing job working with our hyper puppy Evie. She is listening very well at home and we are no longer telling No at her all the time. She listens after 1 command. Would recommend this training service to everyone!

10/10 recommend to every dog owner who needs help in mastering basic commands, loose-leash walking, & off leash control. Our trainer Avery helped train two of my 1.5 year old dogs, a labrador & golden retreiver, with very different personalities. She cared for my dogs like her own, send daily videos with updates on their progress, and truly made a remarkable difference in their obedience and trust in just two weeks. It was the best investment for my dogs I've ever made and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering. Thank you Off Leash of Dayton & thank you Avery!

Calling it the best investment for your dogs means a lot to us. We’ll pass your thanks on to Avery and everyone at Off Leash of Dayton.

They did a good job. I didn't do as much homework with my dog towards the end of training as I should have. Life got incredibly chaotic. I'm glad I took my guy. I will never get him to pay attention to me like he did Chance, the trainer, but that's okay. He listens well, does great out and about, does even better in Public. My German Shepherd went with us on a week long road trip at just 9 months old. He stayed in hotels with us, went on tours of abandoned buildings and towns with us, he even did a tour of the West Virginia Penitentiary with us and did SO WELL even with other dogs on the tour with us. Had I not taken him to OffLeash before our trip I'm certain he would not have been as well-behaved as he was! He was so much fun to travel with! We only did the 4-week training program but it was definitely worth the investment for us! Monica

Thank you so much, Kathryn, for the wonderful 5-star review and for trusting me with your Giant Schnauzer’s first training lessons! It was truly a pleasure working with both of you. Puppies are such a fun stage, and I enjoyed helping lay the foundation for a lifetime of success.
I’m grateful for your kind words and appreciate you recognizing not only the work with your pup, but also the importance of teaching owners how to continue that training at home. Your dedication and willingness to learn played a huge role in your puppy’s progress.
Thank you again for your recommendation and support of Off Leash K9 Training. I look forward to watching your girl continue to grow and thrive, and I’m always here if you need anything in the future!
