Off Leash K9 Training, Richmond

We did the 2-week board and train with Austin for our 1 year old Australian Shepherd and the experience was top tier. On drop-off day, Austin took his time getting to know Winter and our goals for her training. He explained the process really well and I felt comfortable that she was being left in good hands. Throughout the 2 weeks, I loved that we received updates, pictures, and videos about Winter’s progress. On pick-up day, we got a thorough training session on the application and usage of the ecollar and all the commands Winter learned. We were able to practice many times and Austin gave great constructive feedback on how to execute and follow through with the commands. He was very patient and made sure we felt comfortable with everything before going home with Winter and the collar. Th

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Rebekah and Austin training our 5-month-old lab puppy, Daphne. From the start they were kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, and they made us feel confident that Daphne was in the best hands possible. In addition to her weekly lessons, Daphne completed a 2-week board and train, and we were so impressed with how comfortable and happy she was throughout the entire process. Rebekah and Austin treated her like their own and kept us updated so we never had to worry. Knowing she felt safe, cared for, and was having fun made the experience completely stress-free for us. We loved the daily updates of photos and videos! The progress Daphne made in just two weeks was amazing, and she came home with better manners, improved focus, and a hu

Head trainer Austin was our 11 month old American bully, Bo’s board and train trainer and is also our 5 year old pocket bully, Winnow’s aggression package trainer. Bo’s board and train went better than I was anticipating. Austin kept us updated with videos and detailed what progress Bo was making that day. You could tell through video Austin took extra care and time to create a relationship with Bo and most importantly made training fun! Bo learned all basic commands, came home with a calmer demeanor and learned how to walk on leash past distractions. It’s been awesome to have Bo home and continue building on the strong foundation Austin has created for us. I also really appreciated how simply and easy drop off and pick up was. Austin spent over an hour for both days answering any questi

What a great experience it was to work with Austin. Nikki was brought straight from the breeder to him. She was a handful with no training. Two weeks later we were off leash walking in the neighborhood, thru Carytown, and trips to stores. Austin has also stayed in contact which has been wonderful to know he cares after the training. I would only recommend Austin

Austin was our trainer for the two week board and train program. He was the best! I have no words to describe how wonderful our experience was, but I'll try to capture it in this post. Communication was always strong, and I knew my pupper Ghibli was taken care of (2yr old American Akita). Training stuck for sure, and the two weeks flew by. It's now a month since the training and I am in love with how obedient and sweet he's become. I can tell in his eyes that he loves when i get the treats out for his daily walks and training sessions. I can only thank Austin for Ghibli's positive association with all aspects of training. My other older dog joins now, and she is receptive to the training methods Austin showed us on pickup day. Now going out with the dogs is no longer a headache, it's a ge
