Off The Leash Academy

Adam with Off The Leash should 100% grab your attention. Do not lock yourself into another program without at minimum talking to him first. I can tell you, from first hand experience, that I’ve tried other Board and Trains. Sit Means Sit was who I used prior to him. They didn’t even come CLOSE to helping as much as my short time spent with Adam and his incredibly supportive wife. I knew as soon as I spoke to him that he was all in and genuinely concerned about my dog’s aggressive behavior and realistic with what I wanted and how he’d approach fixing what wasn’t working. Giving our close proximity to neighbors in the world of Naples he just ‘gets it’. Adam didn’t treat him like all dogs are the same. Adam examined the behavior, learned my dog’s flaws, and went to work without rushing any o

Several months before I contacted Adam our family lost our beloved family dog to cancer. She was the perfect dog! I knew any dog I brought home from there on out would have big paws to fill. I told myself I would wait for an older dog, one that was already trained. I don't have time to train a puppy. With two young children we need a dog that is well behaved and won't add to the challenges of work, parenting, and everything else. Then came Maya, a cute irresistible PUPPY in need of rescue from Puerto Rico. I folded like a cheap deck of cards and brought this PUPPY home. Our children were thrilled; they showered her with love. I slowly asked my self, what have I done? Maya was a good puppy, but still a puppy, running wild with two young children bound to push the limits. Fast for

There are Not enough Words to Express how Happy we are to have chosen Off The Leash Academy as our problem solving Dog Trainer! Adam was Amazing and in just 4 lessons turned our Smart but DEFIANT 11 month old Lab mix pup as well as my Husband and I around to understand how to his little mind was working 100%! Adam taught us how to Train both our pup Rudy and Ourselves to teach him to Come to us when called! We are Still a Work in Progress as our issue was Rudy COMING when called while Off Leash and Running around playing and just being a Dog in our 2 acre fenced in backyard. With Adam teaching US What We Had and Have To Do and how to Positivity Reinforce what "Rudy, Here" means we have progressed from 0 to 85% SPOT ON! Like I said We Are Still A Work in Progress but Improve Every Day! Th

May we just say “ LIFE CHANGING”? We moved our young Lab, Hobie, from a home with a large fenced-in yard to a community with no yard and no dog park area. He quickly became a puller and extremely reactive. His behavior held us hostage; causing us to only walk him a night and in the small patch of “ yard” behind our home. CERTAINLY not a life for him. Adam has given us the skills to show Hobie who was in charge. He taught us how to set behavioral boundaries and expectations. His wealth of knowledge enabled him to use various methods to achieve success.. Adam backs suggestions with fact and experience. His is NOT a “ my way is the only way” approach. Rather it’s “let’s see what approaches/training tools etc. we can use to achieve your goals”. Hobie is now a happier, more confident ( and n

Adam does and his wife do an amazing job. I have a German Shepard that did not trust people outside of our family and needed work on her obedience. Adam kept us updated on how she was doing throughout her month of training, and sent us videos of her training. Aspen went from a dog who didn’t trust him or like him at all when she went there, to where she genuinely respected and liked him when it was time to leave. I would send another dog there with no reservations.
