"Alex was an absolute lifesaver with our Golden Retriever, Tully. We were struggling with some behaviors and weren't sure where to turn, but from our very first session, Alex made us feel confident and supported. His knowledge, patience, and ability to explain things in a way that actually made sense were incredible. He took the time to understand Tully's pe..." Read more

"We brought our 3 year old lab to Alex for the two week board and train program. He completely transitioned him. He did such an amazing job turning him around, he no longer barks and pulls on the leash to get to other people or dogs. He doesn’t struggle with distractions anymore and is trusted off leash. I had the best experience and highly recommend this pro..." Read more

"1000000 infinity/10 recommend!!! I am so grateful for Off Leash. We have a Husky/German Shepard mix- we started puppy lessons with him and did the boarding training when he turned one. Every trainer we met is phenomenal! They really helped because our puppy is a good boy- but he just would get overly excited. Off Leash has been a GODSEND, especially as my hu..." Read more

"My wife and I have a young dog, that is a mix between husky and German shepherd. He is was extremely playful and we wanted to put him into training. We took classes with Rebecca and Alex and we started to notice immediately, that as long as we practice at home, the tools they gave us worked and worked perfect! As our dog started to grow we noticed we couldn'..." Read more

"If you’re looking for an Amazing dog trainer who truly understands how to bridge the gap between human and your fur baby, I cannot recommend REBECCA RIZZO with K-9 Off Leash Training in Rochester enough. We came to Rebecca /K9 because our dog, "CHANCE", was struggling with simple leash walking, reactivity, jumping on people, tearing up everything, he would n..." Read more

"I had my 1st puppy and Siberian Husky for 15 years as a young man myself. I dreamed of being able to take my dog out off leash to parks, walks, as well as just genuinely not being worried he'd end up getting out and taken to the pound, which he did multiple times, he was a professional escape artist. When I got my next husky some 11yrs later, I wondered how..." Read more

"My trainer, Michelle, was wonderful! She owned a dachshund herself which was so fortunate as she really understood my dog’s behavior on a personal level. I saw a huge difference in my dog’s behavior by the end of our sessions and I have clear and concise instructions to continue his training on my own."

"Our rescue had terrible leash reactivity and Off Leash K9 completely turned things around! There reactive dog training program is amazing. They’re patient, understanding, and really know dog behavior inside and out. We can finally enjoy walks around Fairport without stress.

"Off Leash K9 helped us solve our dog’s severe separation anxiety! Their behavior training approach is compassionate yet effective. They gave us practical tools and a clear plan. After just 9 weeks, we can leave home without our dog destroying things. Best behavioral dog trainers in the Rochester area - thank you Off Leash K9!"

"We sent our Belgian Malinois to Off Leash K9’s board and train and got back a completely different dog! She mastered loose leash walking, recall, and even learned to be calm around other dogs. Off Leash K9 Training Rochester expertise and dedication shine through. Highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training in Fairport!"

"Best investment for our French Bulldog puppy, Frankie! Alex was our trainer for the 2 week Board & Train session when she was only 4 months old and it was instant bonding for the two of them. She was a quick learner with the training methods & personal care given. She came back to us a calm, well mannered, trained happy puppy. We loved Alex so much we took..." Read more

"Our lab puppy was a handful until we found Justine! Her puppy training methods are effective and kind. She taught us how to communicate with our pup properly, and now at 6 months old he’s so well-behaved. Off Leash K9 is the best dog trainer in Fairport, and we highly recommend them!"

"Justine’s board and train program exceeded all expectations! Our reactive rescue spent 3 weeks with her and came home completely transformed. Justine sent daily updates and videos which gave us peace of mind. The follow-up training sessions helped us maintain everything she taught. Best board and train in Rochester, NY"

"Justine at Off Leash K9 completely transformed our puppy! We started training at 10 weeks old and our golden retriever already knows sit, stay, come, and walks perfectly on leash. Justine’s puppy training program in Fairport is worth every penny. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and made the process so easy for first-time dog owners like us. Highly recommend!"

My dog was so obe..." Read more

"Alex was a phenomenal dog trainer for our Boxer puppy, Belle. We did training lessons and walked her on the canal at the end of our session to use our skills around other dogs and people. He is wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a steadfast, calm and compassionate trainer."

"Alex did a great job with my “wild and crazy” Havanese puppy. She came back to me much more civilized lol. I was very happy to be able to take her on a walk with no pulling and the heel command. She lived Alex so much that I boarded her with him a few weeks later with great peace of mind."

"I had a great experience with Alex training my dog Maxwell! Every day I received pictures and videos of what was being worked on which was extremely comforting while he was away. I also was able to ask questions that popped up throughout and continue to do so! Would recommend k9 to everyone!!!"

"My wife and I signed up our 1 and a half year old Lab Hank for the basic and advanced package. Alex was our trainer and we could not have asked for a better experience! The 1:1 sessions, his attention to detail, care for Hank, and willingness to work on specific behaviors made all of the difference. We HIGHLY recommend Alex and appreciate his work with Hank...."
