We were so happy with our experience! We brought our 2 year old pitbull, Odo, for a two week board and train with Carissa. We had tried training at home, that worked as long as we were in our house or yard, in public, we could not get him to engage with us. He constantly pulled on the leash and would jump and bite at the leash when he was overwhelmed, it got to the point that we couldn’t take… Read more
We were so happy with our experience! We brought our 2 year old pitbull, Odo, for a two week board and train with Carissa. We had tried training at home, that worked as long as we were in our house or yard, in public, we could not get him to engage with us. He constantly pulled on the leash and would jump and bite at the leash when he was overwhelmed, it got to the point that we couldn’t take him anywhere! After working with Carissa, we can walk him again, take him to public places, he’s a different dog! There needs to be continued training at home, but Carissa gave us the foundation we couldn’t seem to achieve on our own. First public place we took him I was told, that’s a well trained dog! Carissa was so patient knowing how hard it was to give up our dog for two weeks. She checked in nightly to let us know how his day was with a simple text or video. We will always recommend Off Leash K9 Training! Thanks, Carissa! Read less

My 8 month old Cavalier, Evie, was lacking manners and would not listen. She completed the 2 week board and train with Carissa, and she was absolutely amazing! It’s truly incredible what she taught Evie in such a short amount of time. I can’t thank Carissa enough for helping Evie gain confidence and teaching her foundational skills to help her become a well behaved puppy. I highly recommend Carissa at Off Leash if your struggling with your dog!

I want to tell you all, Joeys trainer was fabulous, it was like Joey was a completely different dog…..my entire family wanted me to get rid of Joey, they said he had potty issues, tore up everything in the house, I was crying because everyone hated Joey, they said he is from a puppy mill, so he will never become a good dog , my options were to sell him, give him away or put him down!! All of this… Read more
I want to tell you all, Joeys trainer was fabulous, it was like Joey was a completely different dog…..my entire family wanted me to get rid of Joey, they said he had potty issues, tore up everything in the house, I was crying because everyone hated Joey, they said he is from a puppy mill, so he will never become a good dog , my options were to sell him, give him away or put him down!! All of this was devastating to me, but a 20 year old young lady with K-9 off leash by the name of Brooke took Joey away for 2 weeks and trained him. I got him back and he had been transformed into this young adorable puppy. Brook would send me messages and a video of Joeys training every evening. I could NOT Have asked for a better trainer, she loved him was direct and patient with him…. Just incredible. There is not enough words in the English language to describe how assume Brooke is. I still take Joey to Brooke for boarding, she is the only person that I can trust to love him like her own. All I have to say to Joey is “do you want to go see Brooke” and his little hips get to going with excitement, I worry he is going to dislocate his hips.
In my opinion K-9 off leash is fantastic and Brooke is an amazing young lady, you can tell right away just how much compassion she has for dogs.. 5 STAR all the way.
Thank you for reading,

My 7 month old puppy, Schnitzel, completed the 2 week training program with his trainer, Carissa. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and Schnitzel grew pretty attached to her. He learned so much in that time and I’m so happy with the outcome. My timid little boy is now a confident and smart little guy with many skills. Carissa updated me every day with videos of what they were working on & his progress. I can’t say enough wonderful… Read more

Carissa did a fantastic job with our 7 month old Cane Corso mix. He went in to his 1 week board and train needing to learn better manners and recall. He came back a different dog. We can now reliably take him to the park and fields and he comes right back when called. Highly recommend!
