Off Leash K9 - Raleigh Durham

Denise with Off Leash K9 was amazing! She had great energy and communication. We are very happy with the results of our working dog. She taught him all the basics and gave us very detailed instructions on how to be successful. In addition, there has been continued contact and communication as questions have come up. You can tell that Denise truly cares for the dogs she trains like her own.

I can’t recommend this dog trainer enough! Our dog is a Malinois mix. Extremely smart, high-energy, and honestly a tough one to handle. Before training, walks were stressful and his focus was all over the place. 2 one on one classes which was to get to know our Shadow and meet our needs. After just 3 weeks of onboarding, the transformation has been incredible. What I appreciated most was the patience, structure, and clear communication throughout the process. The trainer didn’t just work with our dog they educated me too, which made a huge difference in building consistency at home. You can tell there’s real experience with working breeds because the training was balanced, purposeful, and tailored to his personality instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. Now my dog is more confident, r

I rescued an almost 1 yo rottie from the shelter three months ago. While in good health, Maverick did have high anxiety, was a destructive dog, had high energy where he could not turn it off, and just would not listen. He also was exhibiting reactivity to dogs and cars when on a leash and resource guarding (he would snap). I'll be honest, I was close to sending him back to the shelter due to all the extreme behavior issues that in all my years of owning rotties, Maverick's were the worst. (Notice I said were.) Liberty was the trainer we were fortunate to work with and Maverick was with her for the 2 week board and train. Liberty was very communicative and sent videos daily of his progress. I was very skeptical of the results we would see. Very. Maverick came back a changed dog. He

I want to give a huge thank you to Denise for taking such amazing care of my Rosie girl these past few weeks! She is truly the sweetest pup, and seeing her progress has been incredible. Since finishing training, Rosie and I have gone on a walk every morning, and she has been doing AMAZING. Before training, she would practically yank my arm off on walks (LOL), but this entire week she hasn’t pulled once! Our walks are so much more enjoyable now—for both of us. We’ve been consistently practicing her commands, and she’s doing so well with everything: staying in place, not jumping, listening to “down,” and even her barking has improved. I also take her to the park in the mornings so we can observe our surroundings together. I love watching her gain confidence as she watches other people and

Denise was absolutely amazing with Ozzie! We learned so much about his needs and how to train him effectively. Ozzie adores her! Throughout the two weeks, Denise communicated with us regularly, sending videos and pictures that kept us updated. She also took the time to ensure a smooth transition back to us. Highly recommend her services!
