Sam from off leash in Syracuse is amazing! She took my crazy golden retriever Finn for just two weeks and completely transformed him into a well behaved happy dog! Finn had several behavioral concerns (barking, jumping, digging, eating everything, no recall, too rough when playing and a lot more) and Sam corrected them all. My expectations have been surpassed. I didn’t think it was possible for my dog to be this good. I’m still in shock and it’s all thanks to Sam!

The training my dog and I received from Sam in Syracuse was great ! It was a awesome experience working with my dog like I never have before. both him and I learned alot over the duration of our sessions. Highly recommend for someone who is willing to work with their dog and put the time in. The results speak for themselves.

This is been one of the greatest experiences that both Trixie, my 13-month-old Cavapoo and I have had. Trixie attended your boarding and training two week program with Samantha. After checking around different programs, I came across your program on Facebook and felt this would be the greatest training, I could do for her. Sam was great with her, after a few days of figuring out who is the Alpha, Sam won out and I got the most beautiful wonderful happy puppy back that I could ever imagine. She’s happier to keep up her training at home. I’m happier to have a pet with door manners, who now does not jump all over guests and of course it’s great taking her for walks without her pulling me. Kudos to Off Leash K-9 training and especially to Sam. Thank-you, for making me a better pet parent!

We sent our 6 month poodle/heeler mix who we are hoping to eventually have trained as a service animal. Amber was FANTASTIC! She listened to what our hopes for our dog (Bentley) were and tailored Bentley's training to reach those goals. She focused on the commands and public facing behavior that will be essential for him to master in order to work one day. She sent daily updates and so many pictures/videos so we constantly knew how Bentley was doing and the progress he was making. She stayed in close contact with us when he came home and helped us transition to working with him on our own. 10/10 recommend Amber!
