Perry Bruce
Perry has always loved animals, especially dogs since he grew up with them. He began his career working for a local pet store in Owasso, Oklahoma where he worked from age 14 until he graduated from Tulsa Community College. He then transferred and moved to Edmond, Oklahoma with his dog, Brindey. He graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a Biology degree and a Business minor.
Perry was hired by a local oil and gas company where he started in the field as a trainee and quickly advanced to Account manager of Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. He now has four dogs: Brindey, an 8-year-old Boxer; Apollo, a 4-year-old Shepherd mix; Pebbles, a 3-year-old Jack Russel mix; and Zaylie, a 2-year-old Boxer. After 5 successful years in the oil and gas industry, he decided to change careers and do something much more rewarding and enjoyable to him, working with dogs! He looks forward to helping customers with their furry family members.
Perry joined globally recognized dog training business Off Leash K9 Training in order to give dogs amazing obedience and owner’s peace-of-mind! Perry believes that your dogs should compliment your life, not complicate it!

Amanda Prasuhn
Amanda Prasuhn was born and raised in Edmond, OK. She is currently a student at the University of Oklahoma doing online classes. She began working at a doggie daycare at the age of 12 and has continued to be in the doggie daycare business throughout her years. She grew up getting dogs from breeders, but as soon as she moved out of her parents for college she rescued her first dog, Ellie Mae. Amanda now has a passion for rescuing dogs. Her second dog, Bane, is a bait dog survivor and she has been working on helping him regain his trust with humans. He’s come such a long way in the 6 months she’s had him! Joining the Off Leash K9 Training team is something Amanda has been wanting to do for years. She’s spent some time at college, and now is at a place where she’s ready to nurture and develop the relationships between other dog owners and their pets.
Mark Piatt

Out of college Mark knew he always had a passion for dogs, training and helping others. After his wife Devon joined the team as a trainer he saw how much he loved what she did with dogs and with people and knew that he wanted to be apart of that. Mark and Devon have 3 Border Collies of their own and a son named Gray!
Ryan Hunter
Born and raised in Oklahoma, Ryan Hunter has always had a strong connection with dogs. Growing up with two small pups, he developed a deep appreciation for the loyalty, companionship, and joy they bring into our lives. Today, he lives in Edmond with his dog Rambo – an incredibly smart, loyal companion who’s rarely far from his side.
Rambo actually went through our board and train program with a previous owner, and when he was later re-homed, Ryan stepped in and adopted him. Living with a dog who had already been through our training gave Ryan a front-row seat to just how effective and life-changing the program really is. It was this firsthand experience – combined with the influence of his closest friends, who are long-time Off Leash trainers—that inspired him to join the team and become a professional trainer himself.
Ryan is also a proud father to Sterling (5) and Ivy (4), and takes great pride in raising them with the same kind of calm, consistent leadership he brings to his training. His natural ability to connect with dogs (and people) shows up in every session, making the learning process smoother for both dog and owner.
He’s currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Addictions Counseling at the University of Central Oklahoma. His passion for helping people overcome life’s challenges is what first led him into the field of counseling—and it’s that same passion for transformation and growth that drives his work as a trainer. Ryan’s goal is simple: to help families build stronger, more peaceful relationships with their dogs.
With Ryan, your dog will be in a safe, supportive, and structured environment—led by someone who truly believes in the power of the program because he’s lived it.
Holly Wheeler
Holly was born and raised in Edmond, Oklahoma, where her career working with dogs began at the age of 16 in a veterinary hospital setting. That early experience provided her with a strong foundation in animal care and behavior, and it quickly became clear that her long-term path would involve working closely with dogs.
After graduating with her bachelor’s degree from the University of Oklahoma, Holly returned to Edmond and continued working in the veterinary field before transitioning into professional dog training. When she discovered Off Leash K9 Training, the decision to join the team came naturally—it combined her deep understanding of canine behavior with her passion for helping dogs and their families enjoy a stronger, more connected life together.
As a trainer, Holly is dedicated to delivering clear, consistent results while prioritizing the relationship between dog and owner. Over the course of her career with OLK9, she has had the opportunity to work with hundreds of families, helping them build confidence in their dogs, strengthen communication, and achieve reliable obedience in a wide range of environments. Her approach is both results-driven and relationship-centered, and she is committed to providing each client with the tools and support needed for long-term success.

Zach was born and raised in Edmond, Oklahoma. Growing up in a multi-dog family, he has always loved dogs. He and his wife are proud owners of a German Shepherd named Maddox and an Australian Shepherd name Luna. His background consists of managing local restaurants and attending Oklahoma State University.
After many years of working in the service industry and seeing his wife Holly impact other families because of the skills she acquired through Off Leash K9 Training, he realized that working with dogs and giving their owners the tools to communicate with them effectively is his true passion.
