Where he started

This family's poodle was a year old and afraid of things. Walks and strangers were the hard parts. He also needed basic obedience.

The training journey

Ernesto trained him locally here in Las Vegas. His owner remembers how polite Ernesto was to the whole family, and the daily updates with pictures. Every question and concern they had got an answer.

What actually changed

• Fewer fears. Ernesto helped him overcome some of his fears on walks and near strangers.
• Basic obedience. The foundation his family asked for.

“I recently had my family dog trained Locally in Las Vegas with K9 trainer Ernesto. Ernesto was extremely polite to my family and my 1 year old poodle. Ernesto helped my poodle overcome some of his fears while on walks and when being near strangers, as well as basic obedience! Ernesto also sent daily updates with pictures and answered every question and concern we had. I recommend to all my family and friends that they should parter with Off Leash and Ernesto if they need any dog training!”

What it changed for his family

His owner now recommends us to family and friends, which is the review we value most. A fearful dog makes every outing tense; a more confident one lets a family relax.

Why his story matters to us

Fear is easy to miss in a small, friendly-looking dog, and it is easy to excuse. We would rather name it and work on it, gently, alongside the obedience. Confidence and commands grow together.

If fear or nerves around people and other dogs are part of your dog's picture, our reactive dog training page explains how we work on it; for obedience alone, most dogs start with the two-week board and train. Every price is on our plans and pricing page.
