Our Dog trainers

Behind every successful dog is a highly trained professional committed to excellence. Our trainers are not hobbyists or part-time handlers – they are certified professionals who have completed a rigorous, hands-on training program through Off Leash K9 Training’s elite OLK9 Academy. This intensive academy sets the standard for obedience, behavior modification, and real-world reliability.
Graduates of the OLK9 Academy are trained in advanced leash work, off-leash reliability, behavior problem resolution, and distraction-proof obedience in public environments. But technical skill alone is not enough. We hold our trainers to high standards of professionalism, communication, and ethical handling to ensure every dog is trained with clarity, structure, and fairness.
Ongoing education and field experience are part of our culture. Our trainers continually refine their skills, work with a wide range of temperaments and behavioral challenges, and stay aligned with proven methods that produce consistent, measurable results.
If you would like to learn more about the professionals who will be working with your dog, visit our Trainers page to read their individual bios and experience.
