Off-Leash K9 Training, LLC is one of the highest-ranked dog obedience training businesses in the United States! W O W! With more than 150 locations nation-wide, we are the fastest growing dog training company in the world, and for good reason! Founder Nick White has an extensive and impressive list of experiences, clients, awards, and so much more under his belt. Aside from being a former US Marine and working in the Secret Service on Obama’s detail, he has also trained with some of the best dog trainers in the world. Nick has trained with Andrew Ramsey who was the Lead Drug/Bomb Detection Trainer at Lackland Air Force Base which is where all of the military dogs are trained. He has also trained at the famous Vohne Liche Kennels (the training hub for the military and DoD special forces K9s) with owner Ken Licklider, who is the main character behind the Nat Geo show, “Alpha Dogs”. Just last year, Nick was invited on as part of Sport Dog’s Pro Staff, as he is considered to be one of the top electronic trainers in the world. He even holds a WORLD RECORD for the longest distance down at 350 yards! This should come as no surprise, since his client list ranges from A-list celebrities such as Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson’s voice), Kane Hodder (Jason from Friday the 13th); professional athletes such as DeAngelo Hall (Washington Redskins), John Wall (Basketball player), Gio Gonzales (Nationals pitcher), John Cena (WWE), John ‘Bones’ Jones (UFC), Max Scherzer (Nationals pitcher); and even one of the most powerful Vice Presidents in history, Dick Cheney. We’ve only listed a handful of Off Leash K9 Training’s notable clients. With a carefully designed program such as ours, we can assure you and your pup will receive not only the BEST training in the area, but the same training that everyone listed above picked too!
With the launch of our local Off Leash K9 Training more than five years ago, this proven dog obedience training method is available in the NY Metro area, including the five boroughs and beyond! Because we offer several different obedience packages, you may choose the program that best fits your lifestyle. Our NY Metro Off-Leash dog training technique is designed to work for dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes! The Off Leash K9 Training system is guaranteed to change the lives of both owners and canines for the better. Our company is comprised of handlers from all walks of life, including those boasting military experience and training to rescue and shelter volunteers to former veterinary technicians; who all have one thing in common- that they LOVE dogs! Your dog will be trained to have the same level of obedience displayed by police/military working dogs. Working primarily with household pets, we are able to offer you and your dog an exceptional level of obedience, which allows you to bring them anywhere and everywhere, hassle-free. After training, there is nothing more gratifying for us than to see dogs that have spent their whole life on a leash now completely obedient off-leash! Seeing the joy in the faces of both the dogs and the owners when their pups master a new command without the restriction of a leash is just as rewarding for us as it is for them!
