Quincey's Story: An Eight-Month-Old Cockapoo Gains Confidence and New Skills
Most of his days were good. The honest update on the day he was not in the mood is the one his owner remembers.

- Daily text updates
Where Quincey started
Quincey is a cockapoo, eight months old when he came to Off Leash K9 Training of Las Vegas. His owner wanted two things for him: new commands, and more confidence.
The training journey
Ernesto trained Quincey and sent his owner daily text updates with photos of her little guy. What she valued most was that the updates were honest. Quincey had mostly good days, but on a day when he just was not in the mood, Ernesto told her so, and stayed patient with him.
Training a young dog is not a straight line, and pretending otherwise does an owner no favors. A candid report on an off day is what makes the good reports believable.
What actually changed
- New commands. Quincey learned new skills during his training.
- More confidence. Building it was part of the work from the start.
- An owner who knows how to keep it going. At pickup, Ernesto spent time teaching her how to train Quincey and the best practices to keep him obedient and confident.
★★★★★
“I had a great experience getting my 8 month old cockapoo, Quincey, trained by Ernesto at Off Leash K9 Training Las Vegas. Ernesto did a good job teaching him new commands and helping boost his confidence. I appreciated his daily text updates, which included photos of my little guy. Ernesto was also very transparent with me. Quincey had mostly good days, but on a day where he just wasn’t in the mood, Ernesto communicated this to me and was very patient with him. […] Quincey has developed some new skills and I feel more at ease knowing I can bring him to places with me more often.”

What it changed for his owner
The payoff is simple and it matters: she feels more at ease knowing she can bring Quincey to more places with her.
Why Quincey's story matters to us
Small dogs get a pass on manners far too often, and confidence problems in a small dog are easy to miss. Quincey's story is a reminder that every dog, whatever the size, does better with clear communication and an owner who knows how to keep it up.
Before and after
Quincey, an eight-month-old cockapoo, came to us for new commands and more confidence. He got both, his owner learned how to keep them going, and now she can take him more places with her.
Most dogs start with our two-week board and train; the 2-Week On-Leash Program covers the six core commands and a one-on-one handover session at the end. Every price is on our plans and pricing page.
