Our trainer was amazing! When we dropped our dog off, we felt like she was in good hands. She kept us updated with multiple videos a day. It was a joy to see her progress and happiness while she was away from us.

Great program. I am starting with my second dog in the program. With my girl La Stella (golden) I was told by nearly everyone I met ‘that is the best trained and happiest dog I have ever seen’. With the positive training and confidence she (and I) received, so many opportunities for adventure came our way. After one lesson with new puppy already have seen development. Crystal her instructor  is super knowledgable and great!!!!

Luci and I had such an amazing experience right from the start. Harley was super helpful getting us through the process of setting up the program, and very knowledgeable. Our trainer, Crystal was absolutely phenomenal! She loved Luci as if she was her own and taught us both so much. I will recommend this to everyone!

Our experience with Off Leash has been the best I could’ve ever asked for. Our German Sheperd mix needed some obedience training, not only for his own sake but to teach us how to best help him with his anxious tendencies, and he has excelled over the last few years with his training. We got our training at Boyce Acres in Nassau, and Alex is one of the best out there. Rex is a whole new dog with so much confidence and many new skills that make it much easier to do simple things like go for a walk or spend time around new people. They really are amazing!

We had our dog, Siena, stay for the 1 week board + train and we couldn’t recommend it more!! Alex worked with Siena and she was amazing! Every single day that Siena was there we received photos and videos of her progress, which was my favorite part. Alex was very knowledgable and was such a great trainer for Siena, we could tell Siena felt so comfortable with her! Alex worked on everything we requested and we see a HUGE difference already. Definitely a great training program and will recommend to everyone!

We adopted our pit mix Peanut from a lovely rescue organization (Out of the Pits). She did great with potty training and basic obedience, but had a very hard time settling down especially as she got older and had more energy. In her newly discovered free time, she found lots of ways to make her parents crazy and a bit sleep deprived (see photos for evidence of her early work).

So when she was about six months old, we reached out to Albany Off-Leash who connected us with the marvelous Crystal. She took Peanut into her home for two weeks and our pup came back a new girl. She still has all of her sass and personality but will happily lay in place while we do chores and her recall is near perfect. Additionally, her ability to walk on a leash is leaps and bounds ahead of when she left. Almost as important, her parents sleep/sanity. has returned!

Crystal sent daily video updates of Peanut’s progress and did an amazing job mixing obedience with socialization and new stimulus. This was so comforting to us as we were nervous about trusting someone new with our girl but Crystal made us feel so secure that Peanut was having the time of her life (basically doggy summer camp)

At the end of the training Crystal provided a very thorough hand-off session to show us how to keep up the lessons Peanut learned and she has continued to thrive at home! We can’t recommend Crystal highly enough for both obedience and behavioral work. Thank you so much for giving Peanut the skills to be a happy, safe dog for years to come!

We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Crystal at Off Leash K9 Training. The two weeks Stitch spent training with her have genuinely changed our lives.

He went in as an unruly pup and came home confident, calm, and beyond obedient—the transformation has been incredible to watch. What made the experience even more meaningful was how much Crystal invested in us as owners. She took the time to walk us through everything Stitch learned, showed us how to properly execute it at home, and made sure we felt comfortable and confident moving forward.

Her support didn’t stop there—she’s been so responsive and helpful with follow-up questions, which has made all the difference in keeping Stitch on track.

Because of Crystal’s dedication and expertise, Stitch is now so much closer to becoming a service dog 🐾 We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for life-changing results for their dog.
