Why Lakeway Dog Owners Choose Off Leash K9 Training Austin and Central Texas
Client Perspective
Matt and Jourdan first became involved with Off Leash K9 Training as clients when they sought professional training for their rambunctious puppy. Matt became interested in professional dog training after completing a basic obedience package and later worked as a trainer with Off Leash K9 Training in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Jourdan later joined the team, and together they went on to operate locations in California, Louisiana, and Texas. Their experience as former clients gives them insight into the dog owner's side of the training process.
