Garry Osborne is a 10 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Garry first began working with the Belgian Malinois in 1998 when he participated in his 1st Military Working Dog (MWD) seminar, where he acted as a decoy. He has attended multiple seminars and K9 training courses since the late 90’s. He continued working with MWD’s, when called upon, often acting as a decoy for MWD demonstrations.

In addition to his normal duties, Garry volunteered to serve overseas where he was assigned to the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, providing security for high ranking diplomats (including the Secretary of State), diplomatic facilities, the President of the United States, as well as members of Congress during overseas visits. Garry ended his military career as part of a special security detail assigned to the Joint Staff. Garry presently works for a Fortune 500 Corporation as a consultant for the United States Army.

OLK9 uses marker training, but we specialize in e-collar training to gain amazing obedience from your dog. There are a bunch of major misconceptions with e-collar training (see FAQ). E-collar training is more about using a ball as a reward, than it is about using the e-collar.

Off-Leash K9 Training is comprised of off leash dog trainers with experience and training ranging from the US Marine Corps, DOD, US Secret Service, and private sector experience! We guarantee 100% Obedience, 100% Off-Leash! Your dog will be trained to have the same level of obedience as most police/military working dogs!

What we enjoy most is seeing dogs that have spent their whole life on a leash, now being 100% Off-Leash and obedient! We thrive off of seeing the joy in both the dogs’ and the owners’ face when they have mastered a new command without the restriction of a leash.
