Jake Reger

Jake grew up around hunting dogs, hunting German shorthairs in the upland for grouse and partridge led to a passion for a hard working well trained dog. Years later two Great Danes with no manners made Jake decide to give Off Leash K9 training an opportunity to give him freedom with his dogs. The night and day difference when those two came home lit a fire inside him that he had to learn how to give that freedom to other families. Three years later Jake now works hard to give that freedom and opportunity to other families and their dogs who, like him, also thought that freedom was unattainable. Jake also enjoys training his Lost Pet Tracking malinois Han, and his new field trial prospect Odin in his free time.
