\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/h2>\r\n

1. 100% Obedience, 100% Guaranteed<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

That\u2019s not just a catchy slogan\u2014it\u2019s what we\u2019re known for.<\/p>\r\n

Our training system is built on clear communication, structure, and consistency<\/strong>, giving you a dog who:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n \t
  • \r\n

    Listens the first time, every time<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t

  • \r\n

    Follows commands on and off leash<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t

  • \r\n

    Remains focused, calm, and respectful\u2014even around major distractions<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    We\u2019ve worked with thousands of dogs nationwide, and our Missoula team brings that same proven method to local families every day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n\r\n

    \"\"<\/h2>\r\n

    2. Real Results in Real Environments<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

    We don\u2019t train dogs to perform in a quiet room or sterile classroom\u2014we train them to succeed in the real world<\/strong>. That means:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      \r\n \t
    • \r\n

      Hiking at Blue Mountain or Rattlesnake<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t

    • \r\n

      Walking through downtown Missoula<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t

    • \r\n

      Holding a down-stay near kids, dogs, bikes, and food<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t

    • \r\n

      Ignoring distractions on trails, at breweries, or around livestock<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      Whether you\u2019re prepping your dog for summer adventures, trail days, or brewery hangs, we train where you actually live life with your dog.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

      \r\n\r\n

      \"\"<\/h2>\r\n

      3. Balanced, Humane Methods That Make Sense<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

      We\u2019re not all-positive, and we\u2019re not all-punishment. We use a balanced approach<\/strong> rooted in:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

        \r\n \t
      • \r\n

        Positive reinforcement (food, praise, affection)<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t

      • \r\n

        Accountability (clear boundaries and fair corrections)<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t

      • \r\n

        E-collar and leash communication, taught in a clear and humane way<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

        This method works for puppies, rescues, anxious dogs, stubborn dogs, and high-drive working breeds<\/strong>\u2014because it\u2019s about giving your dog the information they need to succeed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

        \r\n\r\n

            \u201cBrianna was amazing! When we dropped off our dog she was hyper and pretty out of control. After the two week board and train, we returned to a calm dog that knew all of her commands. She no longer pulled on her leash during walks and would stay in place until we released her. Brianna gave us great instruction on how to use the e-collar and how to properly give commands. We are so thankful for Brianna and the rest of the Off Leash K-9 Training team!\u201d

            \u201cOff Leash K9 is amazing! My puppy had Laurie as a trainer and she was nothing short of exceptional. Everyday she sent me comprehensive updates on what training was observed, challenges overcome, and pictures and videos to go along with her daily communication! Upon graduation day, she did a really good job showing me how to command my puppy. It was evident my dog improved with her ability to hold commands, be more confident, and enjoy the training interaction overall. Not to mention, my puppy really had a liking and connected well with Laurie. Overall, I highly recommend Off Leash K9 to anyone wanting to improve their dog\u2019s ability to be more engaged, confident, and obedient!\u201d
