Off Leash K9 Training has been a phenomenal experience for us! We have a new male pitbull. Super Loving Cuddle Buddy who then want to Test you nonstop because of his Strong Will. Backstory: - Lucky was taken from his Mother too early. He was passed around multiple times as previous owners didn't have the time or patience to put into him. This caused Lucky to fend for himself and "Grow up" Quick so to speak. Which is why he his set in his ways not knowing who his Fur-ever parents would be next month. Well, fortunately for Lucky, he Lucked out! 😂🤣. He now has a stable home. We wanted to get him Obedient sooner than later. Out of all the researching, We chose Off Leash K9 Training. Fast forward 2 weeks later(2/16/2026), We were greeted by a whole new Lucky! Our trainer Carson, cannot be praised enough for his efforts and discipline he instilled into our little boy. I gave 5 stars as they didn't have 100 stars as an option! Thank you Carson!
We rescued a 1 year old pit mix, that’s 76 pounds and had been with three families before us. None of the families had trained him, so he had absolutely no manners. A few weeks after we got him I set up the two week board and train with Carson at OLK9 training Chicago. We picked him up today and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! He walks great on a leash now! (before we couldn’t have taken him anywhere) This was our families first time trying a board and train so we weren’t real sure what to expect, but Carson sent us daily updates, photos and videos of him which was so nice because we missed him so much! Highly recommend OLK9 training & Will probably use them again in the future.
DO THE TRAINING!!! Seriously. It works. We did 8 private sessions with Carson for our 1 year old Great Dane and his patience, kindness, and expertise have made such a difference — not just for Fig, but for us too. We’ve learned a ton and feel so much more confident working with him. Carson is so knowledgeable and never made us feel guilty for struggling or asking a million questions. Fig is truly a completely different dog than he was at our first session. My husband and I genuinely looked forward to every session with Carson.
Our training was recently put to the test (we had our last session end of Oct, now it is end of Dec) when we took our Dane to Winter Lights at OB park district. It was super packed with kids, dogs, strollers and distractions. We would’ve NEVER been able to take him to that safely before and he handled it like a pro. So kudos to Carson and the OLK9 method, it works!!!!
My husband and I are so happy we had our puppy, Louie, trained by Carson of Off Leash K9 Training, Chicago. Louie now knows to place, heel, stay, down, etc. He is a calmer puppy soon to be a year old. He's very proud of himself too. You can tell this when he looks at us for our praise. Carson was amazing with Louie. Carson focused on some of the challenges we were having with Louie and we no longer have those problems. We are so grateful my brother shared this program with us. We will recommend it to anyone.
I can’t thank Alyssa enough! She did such an amazing job with my now one-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog, Waylon. He’s truly a new and improved version of himself!
I had an incredible experience with Off Leash K9 Training, and I can’t recommend them enough. My dog Whiskey, a 2.5-year-old husky/rottweiler mix, has always struggled with situational decision-making around other dogs. Carson was amazing from day one—patient, consistent, and genuinely invested in helping Whiskey learn how to slow down, think, and make better choices in the moment.

as a Chicagoland-area dog owner...
Buying a puppy for your home can lead to many years of laughter and affection. In fact, many would consider a family dog like their own child. However, like any child, most dogs require almost constant supervision. And once you take your eyes off of them for a single moment, there is no telling what they may do, or what may happen to them.
Any responsible dog owner will do their best to keep them from harm, but what can you do when you cannot always be around to watch them all day? Just as you would with a child, you would want to teach them how to be more independent, more obedient, and, most importantly, safer when you are and aren’t home watching them.
You may not be able to ship your dog off-boarding school, but you can take them to one of the highest-rated dog training companies in the nation. Off Leash K9 Training of Chicago helps dogs become their best – learning to leave behind bad behavior and replace it with the obedience that you need from them. In a mater of weeks, you will never again have to worry about leaving them alone, or leaving them around others.
