Off Leash K9 Training, Charlottesville

LeeAnn was a wonderful trainer for our baby girl Rosie. We were very nervous/anxious and worried pet parents when we made the decision to leave Rosie for a two week board and train but LeeAnn put all our worries out of the way. She is kind and gentle and extraordinarily patient with our sensitive (and very stubborn) rescue dog! Rosie was already a calm pup with good manners most of the time, but we went to k9 off leash to help with her recall when off leash as well as her on leash manners and to polish up her obedience. Rosie came back to us with an excellent grasp of her obedience, no more leash pulling at all and essentially perfect off leash recall. We specifically were worried about the negative feedback of the e-collar effecting Rosie’s sensitive personality, and although she doesn’t

I have nothing but good things to say about this whole experience. My dog went in anxious, reactive and with a huge stubborn streak, and came out confident and obedient. She has started to really learn impulse control and corrects herself before we have to. Walks used to be a nightmare because she would pull so hard. Now she walks right next to us. I feel so happy that I can share my life even more with my pup. Our trainer was LeeAnn, and I genuinely am forever grateful for her. Not only did she help my baby be more confident and trust us more, but we could genuinely tell she cared about our dog. LeeAnn was incredibly sweet and patient with our Nuggy, and never failed to give us the BEST report cards, pictures, and feedback. There was never a moment where I felt like my dog wasn’t being c

I left my 1 year old pup Ace with LeeAnn for two weeks of training. I received daily emails including pictures, a video, and notes of everything ace was doing and how he was doing it! She always asked if she could give him something other than food , ex; pumpkin for loose stools, pup cup for a reward :) She showed me everything that was taught and how to maintain it in daily life within 3 hours of Aces pickup. Ace would jump, bark, chew, not listen to commands etc. When he got back I continued to take him on our daily walk, and to parks where people, dogs, and SQUIRRELS would be passing by. He has learned to not build up so much excitement on things he cannot do like going up to people and possibly jumping on them, meeting dogs and going too crazy. He stopped chewing furniture, I love this

I truly can not recommend Lauren at Off Leash enough. There is no words to properly explain how grateful we are for her. We were nervous to take our 6 year old lab to a board and train she is our baby but man am I glad we did it. Lauren is truly the best trainer you will ever meet. She is firstly one of the nicest people but the way she cares and loves your dog and is committed to making them better every day is something you will not find everywhere. Sadie was reactive and excited, Lauren taught her and us parents how to manage that reactiveness and now we can take her places we never imagined possible! The downtown mall for dinner, the park, farmers markets, the options are unlimited. We can walk her without being constantly stressed and anxious! Lauren has stayed in constant communicati

Leeann was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. She was easy to communicate with; we felt like we had known her for years. Leeann was in constant communication with us during the 2 weeks of board and train with nightly report cards on Maggie’s progress, eating/health updates, and videos of what they did that day. This was a huge plus in the process as we enjoyed seeing our pup making such wonderful progress in LeeAnn’s care. We could also see that Maggie formed a strong bond with LeeAnn almost immediately. We brought our 5 month old Irishdoodle Maggie for training help. Maggie can be stubborn and we were having a difficult time communicating with Maggie with what we wanted her to do. Within 2 weeks, LeeAnn had transformed our puppy in to a more responsive and obedient pup. For example, w
