Meet Teddy! Today was his first off leash adventure, and he did awesome. Before training, he sometimes forgot his name, didn’t always come when called, had a habit of barking out of turn, and loved to jump on people. Today, he made great progress and loved stretching his legs on the trails with Bella and River.

From chaos to confidence, we can help your dog make the same kind of progress. Reach out today. 🐶

On Friday, we said goodbye to our sweet miniature pinscher, Sadie.

Many of our Off-Leash Training clients had the chance to meet her over the years, whether during training sessions or around our office.

Sadie was part of our family for 15 years and walked beside us through countless seasons of life. She wasn’t just our dog — she was our constant companion, our comfort, and our best friend.

With the biggest personality in the tiniest body, Sadie loved people, loved dogs, and truly loved “going to work.” She was a daily reminder of why we do what we do and why helping families build better relationships with their dogs matters so much to us.

Our home and office already feel quieter without the sound of her little paws.

Thank you for 15 beautiful years, Sadie.
We will miss you forever and love you always. ❤️🐾

Bear was truly a pleasure to work with, and we loved watching his progress throughout training. His owners were kind enough to leave us a recent review, and we really appreciate them taking the time to share their experience. Here’s what they had to say-

🐾 K9 Keeper Off Leash Training isn’t about perfect dogs in perfect situations – it’s about real control, real freedom, and real results in real situations.

For over 15 years, we’ve helped dogs develop true off-leash reliability and rock-solid recall through focused, one-on-one training. No group chaos. No shortcuts. Just clear expectations, consistent follow-through, and training that works in the real world.

We specialize in correcting unwanted behaviors like barking, chewing, digging, jumping up, pulling, and ignoring commands—not by masking problems, but by teaching dogs how to think, listen, and respond under distraction.

As a locally owned and operated business, we’re proud to serve our community with honest training and lasting results. Our goal isn’t temporary obedience—it’s a dog you can trust off leash and a relationship built on clarity and respect.

✔ Reliable off-leash control
✔ Proven recall
✔ Behavior modification that lasts
✔ Private, one-on-one sessions
✔ 15 years of hands-on experience

If you want freedom without the chaos, K9 Keeper Off Leash Training delivers.
