Reviews
What Cookeville Dog Owners Say
★★★★★“Impressed & Amazed!” — “After completing Basic & Advanced classes, Holden is a different dog. He’s learned commands, understands what I want him to do and can now walk Off Leash!! I never thought he’d be able to go anywhere without being leashed!”
★★★★★“Amazing Results!” — “After the very first lesson he mastered ‘come’ and ‘sit.’ Now I can actually tell him to sit in a place of my choosing and he will stay there, regardless of distractions, until I give him the release command.”
★★★★★“Amazing Experience!” — “OLK9 did an amazing job with our GSD, Apollo, who turned 1 year old during his two-week board and train. Once wild and out of control, he now minds what we say. We got pupdates every day, whether it was pictures or video.”

It is a service-area business with no storefront; lessons happen in real-world public locations, and in-home training is available within 20 miles of Cookeville.
Is a board and train program worth it?
Board and train is the fastest option: your dog lives with a certified Off Leash K9 Training Cookeville trainer for 2 weeks ($2,900) of immersive off-leash obedience and behavior work. You get photo and video updates daily and a 2-hour handoff lesson so the training transfers home. It includes lifetime support on trained commands.*
How many lessons does it take to train a dog?
At Off Leash K9 Training Cookeville, Basic Obedience takes four lessons: (1) come and sit off-leash, (2) extended sit and down, (3) place and extended down, (4) loose-leash walking. Most behavior problems improve as obedience, exercise, and structure increase. Advanced Obedience adds four more lessons for full off-leash reliability.
At what age can my puppy start training?
Puppies can start at Off Leash K9 Training Cookeville right away. Under 5 months, we use clicker and treat training — the 6-lesson AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package is $400, and a 1-hour consultation covering potty training, nutrition, and first aid is $100. E-collar obedience training begins once a dog is at least 5 months old.
Do you use e-collars, and will one hurt my dog?
Yes — Off Leash K9 Training Cookeville trains with e-collars, and no, they will not hurt your dog. The collar gives a mild attention-getting pulse, like a tap on the shoulder, controlled up to 400 yards. At your first meeting, our certified trainers put the e-collar on their own arm — and yours — so you can feel exactly how mild it is.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Off Leash K9 Training Cookeville guarantees your first lesson: if you are not completely amazed and 100% satisfied in the first lesson, the lesson is free — no questions asked. Board & train packages also include a Lifetime Support Guarantee on every trained command: if you ever need help, a follow-up visit is free.*
Where do training sessions happen if there’s no storefront?
Off Leash K9 Training Cookeville deliberately trains in public, real-world locations around Cookeville rather than a facility — dogs that learn around distractions obey anywhere, not just in a familiar room. In-home programs are available within 20 miles of Cookeville. We’re open 9AM–9PM, seven days a week; call (615) 905-6559.
*Guarantee applies to completed program participants; see program terms.
