"Carissa provided a wonderful and fun learning experience for Cookie. It is much more enjoyable walking with her and Cookie happily responds to all the commands she was taught. It is very difficult to be without your dog for the two week training program but the results speak for themselves! We are so thankful for Carissa's talent, love and kindness to our C..." Read more

"Carissa was amazing and patient with our crazy dog. He definitely was a different dog and a lot more obedient from the work she did with him. 10/10 would recommend!"

"I actually didn't hold much hope. I have a herding dog that's been through two other programs and failed out of both. But after 3 sessions here, she walks, listens and has had an amazing transformation. This is money well spent!"

"To Anyone Interested in K9 Off Leash of Rochester, We have owned several dogs and most of them have been Old English Sheepdogs, but nothing prepared us for our newest sheepdog. We got Scout as a pup and as she grew we knew that she definitely had a bit of an aggressive attitude. Add that to the stubbornness that is naturally in the breed and we knew she nee..." Read more

"We are absolutely thrilled with the training that our dog, Pepper received. Zach went above and beyond, and still makes himself readily available if we have any questions/concerns. Thank you for providing such a great service!"

"My Mocha was very energetic and hard to work with before she went to K9 training. No she can run freely safely to work off the extra energy off leash. We are much happier together."

"This training provided a lifeline for me and my 3 legged golden doodle, Snicker. We began with Carissa at lesson one of the basic obedience package. She was patient and considerate with this 75 year puppy owner. After about 10 days of trying to practice with him unsuccessfully, we changed over to board and train. 2 weeks with Carissa and he is a new, obe..." Read more

"We just put our first of two dogs through the basic program with Carissa as a trainer. They worked with our tough schedule for the lessons, which made it a lot easier on us. Second dog starts in a month or so. We have adopted two German Shepherds, ages 1 & 3, and they came to us with very little training. With Carissa’s help, our 3 yr old now has his freedom..."

"Today I picked my 5 month old Bernedoodle, Izzy, from the 2 week board and train with Carissa! I received videos and updates everyday! Carissa always communicated every detail and was very professional. So far the transformation is amazing! She learned everything that I was promised. Izzy came home healthy, happy and well trained! I feel confident from..." Read more

"Our 7mo old German Shepard Delta completed a two week board and train with trainer Carissa and we could not be happier. She’s been home for two weeks now and the change is amazing. She was a great dog before but Carissa gave her, and us, the tools to allow her to flourish in our home. She has done a full 180 and no longer has the undesirable behaviors she on..." Read more

"Highly recommend off leash K9 training and our trainer Justine!!! Our 10 month old pitty mix Benji just finished his 2 week board and train and we cannot say enough great things about his experience! He now listens, knows his commands and manners. Justine provided us with the appropriate tools and education to continue his training and reinforcement at home...." Read more

"Carissa saved our dog and our family! We have a 2 year old black lab who was your typical “bull in a china shop”. We’ve been living basically at the mercy of this crazy dog who had major anxiety around children, loud noises, and other small dogs. We couldn’t have people over to our house and we were ready to re-home this dog. After 2 weeks with Carissa it h..." Read more

"Would definitely recommend training at K9! My dog Abbee and I had 4 sessions and we both learned an amazing amount in that time. We walk every day - and many times with other dogs and my dog, as sweet as she is, was the cause of much stress, pulling, impulsive running off (well, you get the picture). Zach addressed everything we needed in 4 sessions. Abbee l..." Read more

"I highly recommended doing the 2 week board and train. I was hesitant to do it at first because of the cost, but it was best decision I ever made. After only 2 weeks my puppy Cali is a different dog. She always comes when I call, sits in place and won’t move till told, stays by my side during walks and no longer has to jump on every stranger that walks b..." Read more

"Carissa and Off Leash K9 was amazing! With the two week board training, my puppy is less energetic and anxious and more confident and responsive. She does the tasks trained beautifully and, with advice from Carissa, we are continuing to keep the training active as well as add new commands and develop her further. My dog was having the greatest time with Car..." Read more

James was having issues with jumping, lunging, counter surfing, scratching, nipping, growling, demand barking, toy aggression, food aggression, leash pulling/dragging, crate a..." Read more

"We had a dog that was impossible to control. Everything he did was a fight for dominance. We needed him to be able to hang out in the house, off leash, without knocking someone over, stealing our food, or scaring our other dog. We sent him to the board and train program, and worked with Justine. She was amazing. She sent us videos of his progress, each..." Read more

We had Carissa as our trainer from start to finish she was phenomenal always keeping in contact sending videos and pictures of Axel.

"We were so happy with Carissa and her training with Bella. She was so understanding that I was nervous about leaving her for two weeks and she sent regular pictures and videos to show the progress as well as confirming that Bella was doing well. Bella is a 4 lb 1 year old Morkie who rarely came when called and would escape from the house any chance she had..." Read more
