Off Leash K9 Training, Fort Lauderdale · The Humans Behind the Dogs
Meet the Trainers Behind Fort Lauderdale’s Best-Behaved Dogs
Five professional trainers, one shared obsession: dogs that listen anywhere — the sidewalk, the boat, the busy patio. This is the same South Florida team that has been families’ #1 choice for dog training since 2014, and every one of them came to this work through a life spent with animals.
- ★ 4.9-rated South Florida team on Google
- Part of the Off Leash K9 Training network — 130+ locations
All different roads. Same destination: a dog you can take anywhere.
The Team
Jose
Trainer
- Daycare-floor roots
- Behavior management
- Dog–owner communication
Jose’s path started young, working doggie daycares — where he gravitated to the dogs whose behavior kept them out of daycare. That pulled him into training, and it’s still his favorite part of the job: teaching owners to genuinely communicate with their dogs through the OLK9 system.

Jake
Trainer
- Training since 2010
- 300+ dogs rehabilitated
- ASPCA case experience
Jake found his calling on farms with horses and herding dogs, then earned it the hard way: pairing with the ASPCA on one of the largest dog-fighting cases in U.S. history and rehabilitating over 300 of the most abused, aggressive dogs imaginable. Formally trained across service, therapy, ESA, and protection work — and still attending seminars to learn more.

Alaina
Trainer
- 30+ years with animals
- BS Psychology
- AKC · Schutzhund · Agility
A Colorado State psychology grad who has trained in AKC Obedience, Schutzhund, Agility, Frisbee, and sheep herding — Alaina studies the relationship between humans and animals for a living. Her philosophy: a balanced dog needs positive reinforcement and love and discipline with defined boundaries. And dogs need to be dogs — she takes them hiking every chance she gets.
Obedience, from basics to advanced →
Christopher
Head Trainer, Palm Beach County
- 30 years with animals
- Balanced-training convert
- Goal-focused coaching
Christopher’s life changed when a dog saved it — he has dedicated himself to helping dogs and their humans connect on deeper levels ever since. He began as a force-free trainer, then saw the results of a truly balanced program and never looked back. He works closely with clients on their specific goals, one dog at a time.

- Pre-vet science background
- Raised around service dogs
Laura grew up around service dog training and has worked with dogs and their people for over fifteen years — as a walker, groomer, vet technician, and rescue specialist before becoming a trainer.
