What Knoxville Families Say
Real results from real Knoxville dog owners — verified on Google.
Ashley done a wonderful job training my husky Raylan. When he finished the two week board & training he was a better dog than before. Ashley comes highly recommended by my wife & me. I would definitely recommend Off Leash K-9 training to anyone who wants a perfectly trained dog.
Becky literally treats my dog as if he were her own and truly formed a bond with him. Django now can go anywhere with me on or off leash and does amazing!! I have all the confidence to take him into stores, down roads, or in crowds of people without any issues. Becky is absolutely wonderful!
Morgan did a 2 week board and train with our 7 month old St Bernard. Our jaws dropped each time we watched one of the videos. At the end of the 2 weeks she spent almost 2 hours giving us a lesson on what he's learned. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.
My dog Luca went through their board and train program, and the transformation has been incredible. Becky was phenomenal from start to finish. She clearly loves what she does and treated Luca like her own. If you're on the fence about a board and train program, don't hesitate — this was worth every single penny.
We did the two week board and train for our sweet boy Moose and it was amazing! Kinzie took the absolute best care of Moose! I was seriously blown away every single time I got a video showing how well he was doing. We can't thank Kinzie enough and only wish we would have done this sooner!
Kinzie Leonard did an amazing job puppy training our 46 pound 4 month old Bernedoodle. He came home after a week of training with all the important basics. I would recommend Off Leash K9 and Kinzie for any dog training needs! We will definitely be using them again!!

Got Questions?
Everything you need to know about our training programs, pricing, methods, and what to expect.
Dog training costs in Knoxville vary based on the program you choose. At Off Leash K9 Training Knoxville, our pricing is:
All programs include an e-collar, training leash, and our lifetime support guarantee with free refresher courses. View full pricing details →
Our most popular 2-week board and train program is exactly 14 days. During this time, your dog lives with one of our certified trainers and receives daily training sessions in real-world environments.
Most dogs achieve 100% off-leash obedience by the end of the program. Learn more about board & train →
Yes, when used correctly by trained professionals. Modern e-collars are nothing like the "shock collars" of decades past. The e-collars we use have 100+ levels of stimulation, and most dogs work at levels 5-15 — which feels like a gentle tap or vibration, similar to a TENS unit used in physical therapy.
Fun fact: Most dogs get excited when they see their e-collar because they associate it with going outside, training, and having fun!
The ideal time to start puppy training is between 8-16 weeks old. This is your puppy's critical socialization period when they're most receptive to learning and forming positive associations.
Starting early prevents future behavior problems and is much easier than correcting bad habits later. View puppy programs →
Yes, we specialize in aggressive dog behavior modification. Whether your dog shows aggression toward other dogs, strangers, or family members, our trainers have extensive experience with even the most challenging cases.
Important note: We cannot guarantee that aggressive dogs will be safe off-leash in all situations, but we can give you the tools and control to manage your dog safely. Learn about aggression training →

Here at Off Leash K9 Training of Knoxville, we take your dog's safety and care very seriously. In order to help ensure that you get the very best care and updates on your dog's stay with us during their 2-week Board and Train, we incorporate a variety of safety measurements and controls. First, management and yourself (as well as anybody you choose to include) are added to a Google Photos album of your dog that is updated daily with photos (promised to never exceed 48 hours – even in cases of trainer illness or outstanding circumstances – because we are human too) and videos every 2 to 3 days!
Dogs will be dogs, and while Board and Train issues are far from the norm, we do have protocols in place if things do not go as planned. Should your dog's appetite decrease during their stay, or they receive the smallest wound, you will be notified immediately via management or the trainer and given an assortment of care options that could include your trainer modifying your dog's diet to increase calorie content and appetite, first aid, or even veterinary care. Any time your dog leaves the trainer's home, they are outfitted with a GPS Whistle unit that allows us to keep a detailed record of outings and ensure that there is never a situation where we are unable to show the owner via screen shot, exactly where their dog is at any time of the day.
Furthermore, every Board and Train stay comes with a full before and after video that documents your dog's training journey. You'll see from the very first day at pickup (or right after) to the final turnover when you get to work with your transformed dog for the very first time! We know how much you love your dog because we are dog lovers just like you! We promise to treat your 4-legged family member and best friend as if they were our own.
