Penny is a sweet dog but had issues when meeting other dogs, either on a walk or at a dog park. She would bark aggressively and was extremely hard to control. It was difficult and embarrassing to deal with. We finally decided to change this fate and utilized Mark with Off Leash K9 Training. He took the time to meet with us, thoroughly understand our situation, and develop an efficient plan to resolve her behavioral issues. During her training, we received detailed daily summaries of Penny’s progress, and Mark was always available to answer our questions. She is home now, and she behaves perfectly on a leash, so we can walk her and take her anywhere we want without fear of incidents with other dogs. We are very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training to others.

Thank you so much, Jack! We’re thrilled to hear Mark took the time to understand Penny’s behavior, build a clear training plan, and keep you updated throughout the process. It’s wonderful to know she is now walking calmly on leash and that you feel more confident taking her out around other dogs.
Christine helped us tremendously with our new puppy, working with her on manners and socialization with her own dog. The training was very helpful, we recommend it!

Mark was very informative on her daily activities. Sending me text messages and photos and videos. She looked very happy with him at his residence spending time with his family at the same time also learning and training. I am very thankful for Mark for her transformation. Thank you so much again Mark you did a great job! Mark is awesome!

Thank you so much, Diana! We’re glad Mark kept you updated with photos, videos, and daily progress throughout the training. It’s wonderful to hear how happy you are with her transformation and experience.

Absolute game changer! We sent our 10-month-old Presa Canario/Cane Corso mix to Mark Piatt for a 2-week board and train program, and we couldn't be happier with her progress.
Being so young and a mastiff mix, she is full of puppy energy and extremely stubborn. Before training, she absolutely would not listen unless we had treats in our hands. We just got her back, and she is so well-mannered and following instructions incredibly well. We are already out testing her skills at every dog-friendly place we come across! The most amazing part is that we never had her off-leash before, but now she is completely off-leash and listening perfectly.
While she was away, we missed her dearly, but Mark made the process so easy. He communicated with us daily, sending progress reports and videos. It was always clear that she was having a blast, getting tons of love, and thriving in a structured environment. Mark always answered all of our questions and concerns right away. If you are looking for a trainer who delivers real results and truly cares about your dog, we cannot recommend Mark enough!!!

Thank you so much! We absolutely loved our time with Lilah and miss her already.
Had a flawless experience with a Off Leash. From the get go, everything was so professional and organized. Allison made sure we understood exactly what was going to be covered by the training package we opted for.
Geoff and Casey were the best trainers anyone could ask for. They sent detailed updates, pictures and comprehensive update videos daily for the entire 10 days we had our pup boarded and trained. They were incredibly knowledgeable and very kind to us and our pup.
The training as taken to our pup very well even with short training period. 10/10 experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
The process was super smooth and while we did not get an entirely changed dog we did get a more behaved and manageable one. Our labradoodle is a big bundle of energy and wants into everything. Christine did great with his training and although he still scopes every environment he is in he minds his commands. Still needs a few reminds at time

Thank you so much for your honest and thoughtful review! We’re grateful you trusted Christine and our team with your Labradoodle’s training. It’s great to hear the process was smooth and that he is now more behaved, manageable, and responsive to his commands, even with his big personality and energy.
I haven’t seen so much of a difference in my dog; Mark did an amazing job at training my Belgian Malinois. The difference was amazingly noticeable the second I saw him again. They do an amazing job at training and I would highly recommend anyone looking to see/make a difference with their dog to go with them!

Thank you so much, Nikolas! We’re thrilled to hear you noticed such a big difference in your Belgian Malinois right away. Mark did an amazing job working with him, and we’re glad the training helped build the progress you were looking for. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in our program!
We contacted this company after seeing all the positive reviews. I was quickly contacted with information about how the training works and inquiring what issues I had for my dog. I was matched with Mark who owns the company. I was pleased with all of the constant communication we received daily with progress with max and how quickly he learned and progressed with his training. Once our dog arrived back home where the real work starts ( owners need to continue this work) we quickly realized what a different dog we had. We loved this companies work ethic and how they handled our dog and his issues. Thank you so much Mark!

Thank you so much, Sam! We’re grateful you chose us after reading our reviews and trusted Mark with Max’s training. It’s wonderful to hear that the daily communication, progress updates, and training process helped you feel confident throughout the program. We’re especially happy that Max came home with such noticeable progress and that you’re continuing the work at home. Thank you for your kind words and for recognizing the care and effort that went into helping Max succeed!
We were so impressed when we got our puppy back from Mark at Off Leash K9 Training! She was always a good pup but when we saw her after her 2 week board and train, she had such good manners, could stay in place while we’re working around the house, she listened to us and could walk on the leash without pulling, and we were able to have her off leash with solid recall. This was the biggest piece for us since we want to take her hiking with us.
Mark was so helpful before, during, and after the training! He checked up on us the first couple weeks we got her back to make sure we weren’t having any issues and helped talk us through how to fix a few more things. We have a solid way to communicate with our pup now and it was 100% worth the cost of the program.

Thank you so much, Bethany! We’re thrilled to hear how well your puppy did after her 2 week board and train with Mark. It’s great to know she came home with better manners, leash skills, place command, and solid recall, especially for your hiking goals. Mark truly enjoyed working with her and supporting you before, during, and after training. We’re so glad the program gave you a clear way to communicate with your pup and that it felt 100% worth it!
We had such a great experience with Off Leash K9 Training, especially working with Mark! Our dog Darla has always been pretty anxious, and it was starting to affect a lot of our day-to-day life. Mark was super patient and really took the time to understand her and what was triggering her anxiety.
What we appreciated most is that he didn’t just work with Darla, he worked with us too. He showed us simple, practical ways to help her feel more comfortable and confident, and it actually worked. Mark provided daily updates with how Darla was doing and the new commands she was learning. Highly recommend Mark with Off Leash K9 Training!
