From the initial call, to meeting Cate for the first time, to then building our training plan; my husband and I were impressed by the overall professionalism, customer service, and friendliness from Freaks on a Leash. We have 2 dogs, both rescues, adopted at different times with different behavioral issues. Every session with Cate gave us a new technique and a very detailed understanding of the how and why. She worked with us with both dogs addressing our every concern even to our very last session. It was bittersweet when we had our last session but it was a celebration of how far we all came as pet parents and especially our furbabies. We are finally able to have stress free walks and we are all much more stronger in our bond. We continue with the training and both pups get better and better each day. THANK YOU CATE! You're patience and knowledge helped not only us, but our furkids as well to truly grow and mature. I will definitely recommend Freaks on the Leash for training needs, yall are the best.

My goal for Stella, our rescue, was for her to be less reactive on walks and enjoy them more. Andrea at Freak on a Leash helped me and Stella out immensely. The reactive dog training classes are excellent! The instructions and email guide/tips are effective and useful ongoing and anytime you need to use them. Stella is calmer and more focused on our walls and less fearful of other dogs as potential threats. I haven't had to use trazadone since taking these lifesaving classes. Many thanks to Andrea and the rest at Freak on a Leash! I could not recommend this fabulous service more! Don't be surprised to see me and Stella for a drop in visit to say hi! Best wishes and friendly barks, Lisa and Stella

Andrea is truly exceptional! My sweet Cane Corso, Eve, struggles with fear‑based aggression. At over 160 pounds, this was overwhelming for everyone — including me and Eve. Andrea created a thoughtful, effective behavior modification program that has helped ease Eve’s fear and anxiety (and mine!). Along the way, I’ve learned so much from Andrea's guidance, and the bond between me and Eve has grown deeper than I ever imagined. I’m so grateful to Andrea and Freak on A Leash for giving us the tools, confidence, and direction we needed for a life well lived with an amazing dog who I will cherish forever. Thank you Andrea for all you do for us!

We have always had border collies and thought we were getting pretty good at training our dogs. Our husky mix puppy challenged that belief 😂. Cate has helped us better understand how to work with a dog that is wired different.
