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

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

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!
