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 brought our 3 year old lab to Alex for the two week board and train program. He completely transitioned him. He did such an amazing job turning him around, he no longer barks and pulls on the leash to get to other people or dogs. He doesn’t struggle with distractions anymore and is trusted off leash. I had the best experience and highly recommend this program and our trainer Alex!

My wife and I have a young dog, that is a mix between husky and German shepherd. He is was extremely playful and we wanted to put him into training. We took classes with Rebecca and Alex and we started to notice immediately, that as long as we practice at home, the tools they gave us worked and worked perfect! As our dog started to grow we noticed we couldn't bring him out in public because he would pull on… Read more
My wife and I have a young dog, that is a mix between husky and German shepherd. He is was extremely playful and we wanted to put him into training. We took classes with Rebecca and Alex and we started to notice immediately, that as long as we practice at home, the tools they gave us worked and worked perfect! As our dog started to grow we noticed we couldn't bring him out in public because he would pull on the leash and also jump on people. With my wife being pregnant, I was getting nervous that maybe my dog would get too excited and would pull and knock her on the ground. We decided to put him in the two week boarding training. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Alex was great! He consistently sent text messages with how training was going, with videos and different items they are working on. When we got him back, he was still the playful dog but he was trained! My wife and I have now been able to walk outside and do long walks without our puppy on a leash and we can bring him to stores and he won't bother anyone. It's more than just the typical "sit", "come", "down", commands. Alex trained my dog to not run out the door and to be focused. I would recommend that if you have a dog to go to Off Leash because they can explain a lot of items to you that you may not have known. So not only do they give your dog the tools he/she needs, but they also give you as the customer different tools as well. Once again, THANK YOU OFF LEASH! THANK YOU ALEX and THANK YOU REBECCA! You guys have made my our lives so much easier. Read less

Working with Alex has been nothing short of amazing. When we first brought our Belgian Malinois to training, she was extremely high-energy, stubborn, and completely unresponsive to commands. She also didn’t do well around other dogs at all. But with each session, we began to see incredible progress. Our dog started listening, responding to commands, and—most exciting of all—we got to witness her playing with another dog for the very first time (that wasn’t one of our own). It was… Read more
Working with Alex has been nothing short of amazing. When we first brought our Belgian Malinois to training, she was extremely high-energy, stubborn, and completely unresponsive to commands. She also didn’t do well around other dogs at all.
But with each session, we began to see incredible progress. Our dog started listening, responding to commands, and—most exciting of all—we got to witness her playing with another dog for the very first time (that wasn’t one of our own). It was a huge milestone and something we never thought we’d see.
Alex is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also very easy to talk to. He makes you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. If you’re debating whether to put your dog through training, I highly recommend you do it—and do it with Alex. You won’t regret it! Read less

Best investment for our French Bulldog puppy, Frankie! Alex was our trainer for the 2 week Board & Train session when she was only 4 months old and it was instant bonding for the two of them. She was a quick learner with the training methods & personal care given. She came back to us a calm, well mannered, trained happy puppy. We loved Alex so much we took Frankie back to him at 1 year old for a touch… Read more

She was a quick learner with the training methods & personal care given. She came back to us a calm, well mannered, trained happy puppy. We loved Alex so much we took Frankie back to him at 1 year old for a touch up of her training that we let lapse with our busy life. Again Alex did an amazing job with her! I highly recommend Off Leash K9 training with Alex. Read less
