Success Stories from Centreville Dog Owners
Northern Virginia
“Tegan was just such an expert in training our 5 month old rottweiler! she gave us daily updates and could tell she really took care of and trained our pup to the best of her abilities. on pickup day she explained everything to us as far as training us to train our dog. after we had picked up our dog it’s like he’s a new puppy altogether. best decision we have made and we will be going to specifically ask tegan to train any other pups we may get!”
Carlos Morey 
Northern Virginia
“We selected Off Leash again to train our new puppy we got from a local rescue and was assigned Brianna as our trainer. Brianna was able to extract Alya’s desire for training and working over the two-week session. We received daily videos on the varying workups that Alya was being trained on. Alya is a very intelligent and smart dog. Brianna saw Alya’s potential and leveraged her techniques to extract the desired results. We reviewed all the commands at the end of the course with Brianna. She made sure that we were comfortable with the commands before we left. Now we will build in daily dedicated training time for Alya to shine. We highly recommend Brianna to train your dog and I will keep in touch for additional training once we reinforce what Alya has already learned.”
