MEET THE TRAINERS:
BETHANY RIDDLE – Bethany is the head trainer for Off Leash K9 Training in Columbia. While serving 8 years in the U.S. Air force as an F-15E Crew Chief, she volunteered at various animal shelters. As a first wedding anniversary gift from her husband, she received a Great Dane puppy, which reignited her childhood passion for working with animals.
After the Air Force, she returned to South Carolina and graduated Cum Lade with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry from Francis Marion University in 2013. Aside from completing her formal training at Off Leash K9 headquarters (Woodbridge, VA), Bethany trained at multiple Off Leash K9 locations learning from no less than 10 trainers. She believes in consistency and compassion and looks forward to helping you have an obedient and well balanced dog as part of your family.
JESSICA: Prior to becoming a certified trainer with Off Leash K9 Training in 2017, Jessica was a Veterinary Tech for X Way Animal hospital in Laurinburg, NC.
She had also spent time caring for dogs as a Kennel Tech in North Carolina for both K2 Solutions and Dog’s Best Friend in Southern Pines, NC.
DAN WALLEN – Dan is the owner of Off Leash K9 Training, Columbia, SC. He graduated from Marshall University with an undergraduate in Business Administration.
Dan began his experience with Off Leash K9 Training as a client in 2009. After trying various trainers for his German Shepherds (Maximus and Athena), he was still not happy with the results and began to attend training sessions with Nick White at the Off Leash K9 Training headquarters in Woodbridge, Virginia.
After seeing the dramatic results, Dan began referring dogs to Nick whenever possible. Soon after moving to South Carolina, he opened Off Leash K9 Training to bring the same great training and results to the Columbia, South Carolina area. If you are looking to take your dog’s obedience to the next level and responding to your commands outside, off-leash, and under distraction, then search no longer. Off Leash K9 Training, Columbia is the right place for you!
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.

What Do Our Clients Say?
WE LOVE CLIENT’S SMILE!
I am so happy & excited with the results from the 2 week train & board program with my pup Ringo. Beth was my trainer & she is awesome! She is very knowledgea
I can’t say enough about this place. They are very knowledgeable. Bethany is an amazing trainer and I also had the pleasure of working with Dan on a lesson. If you do what they say, it will work. When I first got my 2 year old German Shepherd I couldn’t even walk him on a leash. He paced constantly and I thought I made a mistake by getting him, but I gave the program a try. He is still a work in progress but I can take him anywhere now OFF leash. It’s amazing!!! I watched my dog go from scared and neurotic to confident and happy.
