Would highly recommend and use the training service again. Trainer Christian makes the process highly efficient and all training is done in real world scenarios with plenty of exposure to people strangers and other dogs. Our dog started showing big improvement from the first day and by the middle of the 8 weeks was already able to start weaning off the e collar for those worried about reliance on technology.

Would highly recommend and use the training service again. Trainer Christian makes the process highly efficient and all training is done in real world scenarios with plenty of exposure to people strangers and other dogs. Our dog started showing big improvement from the first day and by the middle of the 8 weeks was already able to start weaning off the e collar for those worried about reliance on technology. The training works and Christian is able to adjust so your dog succeeds whether they need more reinforcement or more advanced training session to session. I can assure anyone you will see remarkable improvement by going with this program.
We did the basic and advanced package for 8 weeks. We wish we did this at 6 months with our dog instead of 6 years old. Read less

UPDATE- the owners reply is ridiculous. Anyone can make a dog perform when blasting them with a high frequency collar. Take responsibility for injuring my dog. Photos attached. This was not the right program for our bichon mix. Our main reason for seeking a board and train program was help with potty training which means the trainer needs to place them on a schedule. This did not happen. Our dog came home with a scab on his neck from the… Read more

This was not the right program for our bichon mix. Our main reason for seeking a board and train program was help with potty training which means the trainer needs to place them on a schedule. This did not happen.
Our dog came home with a scab on his neck from the E-collar which has made me choose not to even keep up with this form of training. If the collar doesn't hurt them then why does our dog have a visible injury on his neck.
He came home more anxious and trembling which he never did before when we reprimanded him. I believe our dog was one of many dogs and they should not have taken on more than one dog at a time.
This program was a waste of $2600 and our dog spent 18 days away from us only to come home not potty trained with no schedule.
The owner Daniel was not apologetic and defensive of his program. He never apologized for my dog sustaining an injury from their e-collar usage. I absolutely do not recommend this type of training for small, companion dogs. Our dog is stubborn because the breed is notorious for that but he should have been sent home if he wasn't responding well to training. Instead the collar was mis-used and I don't trust anything related to this method or company any more. Read less

This was a truly excellent experience for us and our dog, Barry. From the beginning, communication with Cristian regarding expectations for his two-week board & train stay was clear and straightforward. Cristian made the separation process smooth by maintaining consistent communication through texts and videos of Barry’s training progress, helping us feel confident that he was doing well and enjoying his time. We were impressed when we picked him up and saw Barry greeting us off leash at a nearby… Read more

Cristian made the separation process smooth by maintaining consistent communication through texts and videos of Barry’s training progress, helping us feel confident that he was doing well and enjoying his time. We were impressed when we picked him up and saw Barry greeting us off leash at a nearby park. Cristian demonstrated all that Barry had learned and provided guidance on how to continue training for a successful transition back home. We also took Barry to a busy waterfront restaurant, where he enjoyed watching the birds, and we were pleased with his behavior and understanding of the expectations. We highly recommend Cristian and the Off Leash team—they truly deserve an A++. Read less

We came to offleash for help with our dog. She was reactive towards certain dogs, she resource guarded, and was very insecure. I signed us up for the 8 week reactive obedience course. Veronica set us up with an appointment with Chris. Just after one session with him we noticed a huge difference in our dogs body language. We just finished our courses and graduated with a very confident dog (and dog mama). He helped us learn and grow. He… Read more

We just finished our courses and graduated with a very confident dog (and dog mama). He helped us learn and grow. He was patient and always had encouraging words or advice for us. HE IS THE BEST! He’s a saint and really knows what he’s doing. 5 stars isn’t enough! Read less

We cannot say enough amazing things about Christian with Off Leash K9 Training in Sarasota! Working with him has been an absolute game-changer for our sweet girl, Kenzie. From day one, Christian was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to truly understand Kenzie’s personality, our goals, and what would work best for us as a family—not a one-size-fits-all approach. His calm confidence and clear communication made the entire process feel empowering rather than overwhelming. Kenzie’s progress has… Read more

He took the time to truly understand Kenzie’s personality, our goals, and what would work best for us as a family—not a one-size-fits-all approach. His calm confidence and clear communication made the entire process feel empowering rather than overwhelming.
Kenzie’s progress has been incredible. Her obedience, focus, and confidence have improved so much, and we finally feel like we have the tools to continue reinforcing everything at home. Christian doesn’t just train your dog—he trains you too, which makes all the difference.
If you’re on the fence about training, don’t be. Christian and Off Leash K9 Training Sarasota are worth every single penny. We’re so grateful for his dedication, consistency, and genuine care for Kenzie. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶✨ Read less
