Off Collar

Lauren helped us retrain our dog before moving abroad after he became impossible in older age and it honestly changed our life! Our dog Piper had become extremely reactive towards other dogs and couldn’t even walk by them. After working with Lauren, Piper has been playing with other dogs every single day, visiting crowded markets in Europe happily, sitting at cafés, hiking off leash, and is even loving the dog park. He has had no issues with dogs big and small. Strongly recommend!

Lauren is awesome. She provides one on one focus on you and your pets as well as has a deep understanding of animal behavior and does a great job explaining the why and the what behind any questions you may have regarding behavior and training. The pack walks are great for getting in socialization and exercise.

A Thank You to Lauren and the Story of an Ex-Reactive Rescue Dog ✨ Oh, it was such a joy to finally take my favorite rescue dog, Nessa (an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois), home after a month of walks at the shelter. It was exciting because she was our first dog ever. But after just 5 days, we started noticing serious problems: endless barking (I'm not exaggerating when I say 500 times a day), reactivity towards dogs/people/cats/birds, protective behavior, pulling on the leash, restlessness at home, uncontrollable behavior, it felt dangerous... To be honest, after 10 days, we considered bringing her back to the shelter. We felt so incapable and thought someone else could handle it better. This was not at all the dog we had dreamed of. But then came the turning point. We desperately called L

I love Off Collar! Lauren has been amazing in coordinating and supporting my senior pup! Alyzah, my pup’s wonderful walker, is so good with him and keeps me informed if she notices anything out of the ordinary. They’ve both been very helpful in allaying my fears after a bad experience with another company! Can’t say enough good thing about Off Collar!

I cannot say enough about how awesome Lauren is! She helped me and my dog work through some behavioral issues recently. I was at my wits end with him and had read/watched everything I could find and nothing seemed to be making a difference. After working with Lauren she was able to help identify specific issues, signs to watch for, helped me understand exactly what my dog is trying to tell me and how I am communicating with him. She is so much fun to work with and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. My boy absolutely loves her! She has a wonderful balance of fun and lightheartedness (which removed the stress and frustration we were experiencing) and deliberate corrections and commands. It was awesome to see how well my boy responded to her! I have already recommended her to my friends w
