Off-Leash K9 Training (OLK9) is an off leash dog training business originally founded by Nick White, and is based in Northern Virginia; however, we have many locations throughout the United States.
We specialize in private one-on-one lessons, and dog behavior consultations. This helps to create a stronger bond between the owner and the dog.
OLK9 is composed of off leash dog trainers with experience and training ranging from the US Military, DOD, US Secret Service, and Private Sector. Our client’s dogs will be trained to have the same level of obedience as most police/military working dogs. This style of training encompasses the core beliefs and philosophy of consistency, fairness, and crystal clear communication that will turn any dog into a well-behaved member of society in any situation. 100% Obedience, 100% Off-Leash!
The system and techniques offered will work for any dog, regardless of age, size, or breed. Check out the hundreds of videos on our YouTube Channel to see the amazing results we achieve with dogs every day.
Our Team.
Nick Shalton is the owner and head trainer of Off Leash K9 Training Jersey Shore, LLC. Nick has always had a passion for working with animals; he grew up around Police K9’s thanks to a long line of family members serving in law enforcement. Nick was always fascinated with working dogs and learning to understand their behavior. From a young age, Nick realized that proper structure and consistency can transform ANY dog into a well behaved member of the family.
Nick furthered his passion for working with dogs after enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. Upon returning home from the Marines, Nick decided to enroll in college where he studied and went on to earn a degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice.
After graduating college, Nick was introduced to Off Leash K9 Training, LLC. He immediately traveled to OLK9 headquarters in Northern Virginia and began working with some of the best dog trainers in the nation!
