Off Leash K9 Training Reviews

Contract is heavily favored to the owner. Withholds payment. Requires you to keep dogs longer than the amount of time the contract states you'll keep them (2 weeks). Owner is also aggressive, disrespectful and unprofessional.

Contract employees take on all risk. Contract trainers must pay upfront for day to day supplies like cleaner, collars, paper towels, Gas to training areas, ect. Trainers pay out of pocket for E collars given to clients, marketed as being included in their program. E collars much be purchased Before picking up a dog, shipping time must be taken into account. Trainers get paid off the video footage from a ‘final video’, and whether every command is caught on video. No video footage of command, no pay/ or docked pay. Public safety and dog safety are compromised due to ‘final video’ filming where every attempt is made to get footage of dogs training ‘off leash’. This is very misleading marketing. Have traveled hundreds of miles round trip, to pick up and train dogs for other locations only to reimbursed a small portion of gas money. A 2 week training course is online and in person, but does not fully prepare you to become a full time trainer, which is a lifestyle. Training varies from location, to head trainer Head trainers do not undergo any additional certifications to ‘certify’ trainers. Methodology used could be considered heavy handed due to the expeditious timeline. Trainers must learn video editing, movie making, and have daily report card requirements. Have experienced multiple pay discrepancies. Owners of the franchise are not required to have any canine knowledge. ‘Lifetime’ refresher policy is an out of pocket expense of trainers.
