Why professional training is essential for Roanoke dog owners
Behavior modification
Resolve jumping, pulling, barking, anxiety, and reactivity at the root, not just the symptom.
Safety & control
A dog that listens off-leash is a safer dog around traffic, trails, wildlife, and people.
Stronger bond
Clear communication builds trust, so your dog looks to you for direction instead of guessing.
Long-term results
We transfer the skills to you at pickup, so the obedience holds long after training ends.
Family harmony
A calm, well-mannered dog means a calmer home for kids, guests, and other pets alike.

Built for how Roanoke dogs actually live
Roanoke dogs lead active, social lives, and that is exactly where obedience gets tested. A dog that behaves in the living room is a different animal on a busy stretch of the Roanoke River Greenway or in a crowd at the downtown City Market.
Our training is built around real Roanoke Valley life: solid off-leash recall for the trails on Mill Mountain and at Explore Park, calm leash manners for a walk through downtown Roanoke or Vinton, and rock-steady focus around the people, cyclists, and other dogs your dog will meet along the greenway.
Because our trainers and facility are right here in the Roanoke Valley, we know these trails, these streets, and the kinds of dogs that thrive here. That local context is the difference between a dog that behaves at home and one you can trust anywhere in town.
Where your dog will shine
- Mill Mountain & the Roanoke Star
- The Roanoke River Greenway
- Explore Park
- Downtown Roanoke & the City Market

“I'm a Virginia Tech Hokie, and southwest Virginia is home for my family. My own two rescues, Blake and Clay, are both Off Leash K9 alumni, so I've seen firsthand how much the right training changes life with a dog. Our trainers treat every dog that comes through our doors like one of our own. Whether you're walking the Roanoke River Greenway or just want a calmer house, we'd love to help you get there.”

What Roanoke dog owners say
“The training that my dog received from start to finish was phenomenal! The trainer was a perfect fit. I was given daily updates, photos, and videos. When I picked him up she demonstrated each command, then let me practice before we went home. I highly recommend this company!”
“After two weeks away from us, our boy came back well behaved, listening to commands and much more enjoyable for us! Alyse shared daily videos and pictures and was quick to reply whenever I needed to check on Cody. On pickup day he greeted us with lots of love while not darting off. Thank you Alyse!”
“I can't speak more highly of the OLK9 folks! They did an extraordinary job with our two pups. Both had behavioral quirks, but the trainers gave us the tips and tools to help, and our two guys are now amazing. Thank you for giving our two rescues a freer life!”
