Augusta K-9 Services Review

K9 off leash Augusta literally saved my American Bullys life. Bonnie was 10 months old and completely out of control. We were lost at what to do! Chewing up everything, would not listen, wouldn t walk on leash, terrorized kids and appeared aggressive. When I first brought her to Ryan- I was in tears- begging for help. In 2 months, she has gone from complete.crazy to family pet!! Ryan has even started socializing her with other dogs and she is doing amazing!! He is so professional he makes everything he does seem simple and it has given me the courage I needed to continue this journey with Bonnie Blue Butler!! Thank you Ryan and K9 off leash for giving me the dog I always wanted!!!

Infinity Stars!!! Ryan at the Augusta venue is amazing with his techniques for our Brock! Ryan transformed our loving boy to an amazing solid loving man!
Brock was adopted several times from the shelter before we happened upon his energy through a window at the SPCA. We were looking for a companion to take on power walks and bike rides. His energy fit the request, but his past was questionable if it could be. But, we adopted him anyway. After 4 months of us training ground manners, we still couldn't get him to stop pulling me (wife) to the point, at times he pulled so hard and quick that he pulled her down or tripped her. His recall needed better control as well. So hunting on the web we went.
We checked out many, but calling OLK9 Georgia, Owners, Bryan and JoAnne, we knew we had the right fit. They listened to our concerns and future outlook and paired us with Ryan. They must have a crystal ball, they were a perfect fit!
After our consultation with Ryan to find the best package, we decided on the 2 week board and train. Hard decision, since we only had Brock for 4 months, our concern was Brock feeling rejected again. He had been returned to the SPCA twice in his short 3-4 month life :(. Ryan's reassurance and constant videos and pics the first day made our anxious night. Ryan continued sending us updates with videos/pics every evening of their adventures/training that day. Amazing man he is!
We have had Brock back for 1 week, we have had him on several bike rides and power walks. He maybe the same little boy inside, BUT his bigger man side explodes when we are out enjoying the fresh air and sunshine! I honestly had doubts it would work for us, but their handover orientation puts you as the handler to make that "Break".
Thank you Our Guardian Angels, Bryan and JoAnne owners, with their amazing, awesome trainer/handler Ryan!!! :)

When Koda first started Off Leash, she was so nervous around men that she was scared to death of my dad and any man that walked by us. She was also terrified of anything on wheels, and loud noises. What made us find this place was after she ran away when she was about 4 months old; we were at Fripp Island and she jumped off of the golf cart and was gone for a whole day and a half. It was probably the worst day of my life. After that, we wanted to do whatever we could to make sure that it would never happen again. Kodas trainer was Ryan, and let me tell you he changed her little life. She went from being a very skittish and shy dog, to being confident and listens to anything we tell her. Now, I can get the mail with her, and was even able to decorate the front yard for Christmas with her being by my side and having no fear of her running away. Ryan is really focused on your dog feeling comfortable, yet pushing them to be their best. You can tell he really cares and that it is a passion to him, not just a job. In the advanced classes we went to many places that built her confidence around things she used to be terrified of. Because of that, Koda is no longer scared of men, and she doesn't even glance at a bike that goes by. The commands that she learned are very useful and I use them almost every day. I highly recommend Ryan and could not thank him and Off Leash enough for improving my dogs saftey and life.

Ryan was great with my rescue German Shepherd. In addition to reinforcing the training commands, he helped build her confidence and socialization skills with other dogs. I now feel confident I can start taking her off leash running!

I did the basic and advanced training with my 6 month old shepherd and absolutely loved it! Sophie completely ignored me whenever we went on walks but now I m able to go on runs with her off leash. I can confidently take my dog anywhere. Both Ryan and Kara did an amazing job teaching me as an owner and my dog! I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested.

Before going through the 8 session program for reactive dogs, we had already tried multiple other training sites for our stubborn rescue. After the very first session of Off Leash K-9 Training, our 5-year old dog was following commands and showing better manners. Ryan and Andy are amazing at working with all levels of dogs and were extremely patient. The best part of the program is that the trainers take the time to explain why they are doing what they do so that we can keep practicing at home. By the end of our 8 sessions, our previously grumpy and reactive dog could go to dog parks and stores without any issues. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Off Leash K9 has been a wonderful experience and Ryan has helped turn our 6 month old puppy, Ollie, into a much more well-behaved dog in just four weeks. I would highly recommend putting your dog through the training!

Ryan is the best trainer. He took the time to explain to me all of mine and my dog's issues and work with us.

Ryan was clear and understanding, i m sure I will have dogs who will behave better after the lessons.

We took our one year old GSD to Sam in Athens and she did a great job. She laid the foundation Odin was lacking and even helped with his reactivity to other dogs. He was never a bad dog he just has a ton of energy and not a lot of direction. With this training it not only taught him how to listen but also taught mom and dad. It's been a little over two months now and Odin is still progressing and getting better. We are very satisfied and Odin had a blast with Sam and her family. I think he was a little bummed out to come back home!
