Dog Training Reviews in Chattanooga, TN

Two years ago was my first experience with Chattanooga off leash K9. I signed my exuberant young pup Lenny, up for the two week board & train program in effort to harness his energy, excessive barking, and excitement into positive behaviors, confidence, and in turn becoming less reactive to stimulus outside the house.

My 3 year old Havanese, Raven, was in the 2-week Board and Train with Hailey. In addition to training, Raven needed socialization to people, other dogs, and stressful situations. The summary review is that she came home yesterday and today greeted a visitor with a polite sniff. In the past she would have barked non-stop and then run away as soon as the visitor moved. Hailey tailored the training to meet Raven’s needs.

I would say that the first thing folks need to have is expectation management. Hailey did a fantastic job with our 8 month old Basset Hound, Charlie. Charlie, as sweet as she could be, was an absolute menace. No boundaries, nipping, using the bathroom inside, howling, barking, chewing on all the things, disobedient, the list goes on. We sent Charlie to OLK9T as a shot in the dark unsure if she was even trainable.

If 10 stars were an option I would choose it! Hailey was amazing at training our 7 month old Berniedoodle Molly. We chose the 2 week board and train option and could not be happier with our decision. Hailey sent daily pictures/videos and updates on Molly’s progress. I can’t say enough nice things about Hailey! She did an amazing job and I would highly recommended her if you are looking for a trainer!

Our dog is a shelter dog and was quite likely abused. He is a wonderful family dog and loves the people he loves. However, he is big and has a deep bark, so non-dog lovers were understandably nervous around him, which he sensed. He was also leash aggressive. He loves playing with other dogs, but when he was on the leash, he would bark incessantly and strain to get to the other dogs.

Hailey is an amazing trainer! We sent our dog for aggression, resource guarding, fear reactions, etc. and since coming home, he has yet to have any of those behaviors. We all feel more at ease in our home, thanks to Hailey and all her hard work. She kept us updated daily and was willing to answer tons of questions even before he arrived with her. We trusted her before his board and train, and she proved her ability for sure.

Being experienced, life long dog owners we never thought we would need a professional dog trainer. Then we welcomed our beautiful Akita, Shiloh. She showed aggression toward two of our other dogs and had a stubborn streak a mile long. Thanks to the training, tips and strategies provided by Dennis, Shiloh is now the good girl that we knew she could be.

We absolutely loved our experience with Austin!!!!!! We have a golden retriever puppy (6 months) and were at a loss of how to train her to not pull on a leash or nip/bite. After our first lesson with Austin we could already tell such a HUGE difference in our pup!! He was patient with us as he taught us how to do different skills with Millie. Millie learned way more than just heel.

I recently had my lab puppy with the two week board and train. Jordan was his trainer. There are not enough words to thank him! From booking to drop off, I had amazing communication. My dog left a wild silly boy and came back a happy gentleman! Trainer Jordan went above and beyond with my concerns and communicated daily with me (multiple times a day at times as I'm a crazy dog mom).

We could not be happier with Offleash K9 and especially Vanessa, who did a board and train with our 100lb, 2 year old pup, Koda. Koda had a sudden increase in anxiety and aggression towards humans and dogs and we were in full crisis mode. My husband and I are fairly experienced dog people and have done training and classes with a number of dogs, but something wasn’t clicking for Koda.

My husband and I are having a baby and we knew that our pup Hampton was going to be in for a rude awakening. His constant barking and his issues with sharing mom with anyone else were going to be a problem. I was truly hesitant on training because I didn’t think it would work for an almost 7 year old dog, man was I wrong! Amanda was the best. From the beginning she always had our top needs and interests in mind.

We selected off leash training to help us with our 9 month old German Shepherd. She is extremely anxious and afraid of most everything. We chose board and train and were blessed to be paired with Hailey. Hailey did an awesome job with our puppy. She sent picture and video updates along with written progress comments.

I brought my dog Oliver here for puppy, basic and advanced training. Jordan was fabulous at helping Oliver and me learn the skills he needs to be a therapy dog. Jordan has gone above and beyond to prepare Oliver to take his therapy dog test! He is a great trainer and teacher. He helped me understand why Oliver was reacting/acting the way he was and helped us work through our struggles.
