OFF LEASH K9 TRAINING OF RICHMOND

Give Your Dog the Skills, Confidence, & Training to Become a Successful Therapy Dog

Becoming a certified Therapy Dog takes more than just a friendly personality — it requires focus, obedience, and confidence in any environment. At Off Leash K9 Training Fredericksburg, we’ll give your dog the skills and real-world preparation needed to excel during their therapy dog evaluation and beyond. Our expert trainers are here to guide you every step of the way, helping you and your dog make a lasting impact together.

Learn Key Skills to Pass Therapy Dog Certification

Certification isn’t just about a friendly dog — it requires control, confidence, and reliable behavior in any situation.

Build Calm, Confident Behavior Anywhere

Therapy dogs must stay relaxed and focused in busy hospitals, schools, and other unpredictable environments.

Master Obedience Around Distractions

From sudden noises to unfamiliar people, your dog will learn to follow commands no matter what’s happening around them.

Strengthen Your Dog’s Ability to Comfort People

Therapy work is more than obedience — it’s about forming positive, calming connections with those in need.

These Owners Had Their Doubts — Now Their Dogs Are Changing Lives as Therapy Dogs

"I can’t say enough good things about Off Leash K9 Training! Our dog Bailey was super sweet, but she would pull on the leash and get distracted by every little thing. We knew if we wanted her to become a therapy dog, we had to get serious about training. The team was amazing — they taught us how to communicate with Bailey in a way that actually worked, and the difference is incredible. She passed her certification and now we’re volunteering together at a local hospital!"

"I honestly didn’t think my dog, Max, could ever be a therapy dog because he was so hyper and couldn’t sit still around new people. Off Leash K9 Training completely changed that. Their trainers were patient, clear, and gave us simple tools to work with at home. Now Max is calm, confident, and loves visiting nursing homes. It’s amazing to see how far he’s come!"

Julie R.

"We always wanted our dog Sadie to be a therapy dog, but she had trouble listening when we were out in public. Off Leash K9 Training helped us work on her focus and taught us how to handle those distractions. The training was worth every penny — Sadie not only passed her therapy dog test, but now she’s the star of the show whenever we visit schools and hospitals!"

"I never expected to need professional training, but my dog Tucker would get way too excited meeting new people, which isn’t great for therapy work. Off Leash K9 Training gave us the tools we needed to keep him calm and under control. The difference is night and day — Tucker is now a certified therapy dog and absolutely loves his visits. Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience!"

Becky T

Petersburg

We wanted our chocolate lab, Kona, to become a therapy dog, but she would bark for attention and had trouble walking nicely on a leash. Off Leash K9 Training worked wonders! They didn’t just train Kona — they trained us too, so we knew exactly how to reinforce everything at home. Now Kona is calm, confident, and making people smile everywhere we go."
