Kassie our trainer was so knowledgeable and easy to work with. We looked forward to seeing and learning from her each lesson. It was hard to say good bye to her at our last lesson. Binx our dog did really well in 5 lessons. He is a rescue and after these 5 lessons he is a different dog. He worked hard at every lesson and we did our homework.

Binx our dog did really well in 5 lessons. He is a rescue and after these 5 lessons he is a different dog. He worked hard at every lesson and we did our homework. If you do the homework each week you will have a different dog in the end. We can’t thank Kassie enough for her work and professionalism. I would highly recommend Off Leash Training ! Read less

Our 1-year-old Cocker Spaniel Danny just finished the 9-Week Training Course through Off-Leash in Fairport. My wife and I were very impressed with the job that Rebecca did with him. He started out a very nervous puppy, who wouldn't sit still for grooming, and he was highly hyperactive around people and dogs while on walks. Over the course of the training, Rebecca did a very good job relating to him, and after a while, Danny really looked forward to "going… Read more

He started out a very nervous puppy, who wouldn't sit still for grooming, and he was highly hyperactive around people and dogs while on walks.
Over the course of the training, Rebecca did a very good job relating to him, and after a while, Danny really looked forward to "going to school" each week. The transformation during his training was obvious. We know it will be up to us to continue his "education" by working with him on the things he learned, but we feel he is off to a great start... We highly recommend this company and special kudos to Becca.
5-stars for sure! Read less

1000000 infinity/10 recommend!!! I am so grateful for Off Leash. We have a Husky/German Shepard mix- we started puppy lessons with him and did the boarding training when he turned one. Every trainer we met is phenomenal! They really helped because our puppy is a good boy- but he just would get overly excited. Off Leash has been a GODSEND, especially as my husband and i prepare for our first baby :) Dakota really loved his first trainer as a… Read more

Dakota really loved his first trainer as a puppy, Rebecca- she was so kind and helpful, and he picked up lessons so quickly.
Alex did his boarding training and he was the best- it was amazing seeing progression videos and getting reports back daily. We’re now able to take him on walks with other dogs completely off leash :) Read less

We boarded and trained our Australian Shepherd puppy Iris with Alex, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Iris came home noticeably more polished, confident, and responsive — better with her crate, sharper on commands, and overall much easier to handle. Alex is an exceptional trainer: clear in his communication, incredibly consistent, and genuinely invested in making sure we knew exactly how to keep the progress going at home. Iris is a high-energy, intelligent dog, and Alex handled her… Read more

Iris is a high-energy, intelligent dog, and Alex handled her with real skill and patience. We especially appreciated the thoughtful updates while she was there and the practical, actionable advice when we picked her up. This was an outstanding experience from start to finish — we’d wholeheartedly recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Read less

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Off Leash K9 Training, especially working with Alex! He has been training our 7-month-old Great Dane, Rhea, and the results have been incredible. One thing we really appreciate is that Alex sends us videos every day showing Rhea’s progress. It’s reassuring to see how she’s learning and growing, and it’s obvious how much time and effort he puts into each training session.

Beyond being an excellent trainer, Alex has built a great relationship with Rhea—she absolutely loves him, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. His knowledge, patience, and professionalism have made this a fantastic experience from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a trainer who truly knows what he’s doing and keeps you involved every step of the way, I highly recommend Alex and the team at Off Leash K9 Training. They exceeded our expectations! Read less
