Meet The Off Leash K9 Team

Jose - Trainer

Hello! My name is Jose! My passion for dogs is what got me here today. I started working at doggie daycares at a very young age and had the opportunity to get more into the training field, so I could help manage behavioral issues with dogs that were not able to come to daycare. I’m very thankful to be here helping people to communicate with their dogs through our training system and providing the best care for your pets

Christopher - Trainer

Hi! I’m Christopher. I have the privilege of being Head Trainer for Palm Beach Country. I work closely with clients, our owner, regional director, trainers, and of course our amazing students. I grew up with a strong connection to animals and have pursued that connection in various ways over the past 30 years. In my mid 20’s I had the life changing gift of a dog saving my life. It was then I decided to dedicate myself to helping dogs and there humans connect on deeper levels. I received my basic education as a force free trainer. After seeing the massive benefits of a truly balanced training program, I was convinced this is the best way I can make that difference. Please give us a call. We look forward to discussing your specific goals for your dog!

Laura - Trainer

Hi, I am Laura! Whether you want your dog to learn basic manners, a cool new trick, or practical and desirable real life behaviors, I can help you! I have been working with animals for over twenty years, and with dogs and their people for over fifteen. I am also lucky enough to have built a strong support system of peers that I can consult with. I have a background in biology and chemistry, and a focus in pre veterinary medicine, I know and understand the value of science based dog training and change in canine behavior. Also, and from a more personal stance, I enjoy and take pride in continuing my education and in helping people form closer relationships with their dogs. Like a lot of other pet dog professionals, I started off as a dog walker, groomer, pet sitter, veterinary technician, adoption and rescue specialist, and animal lover. Having been almost born into it though, I was exposed to service dog training at a very young age and that is one of the things which might set me apart. Ever since then everyone but me knew that I was going to end up working with people and their dogs. Growing up, we moved around some and that made me strong, adaptable, and social. I am my happiest with people and dogs, and I have found meaning in life in my profession. Let me know how I can help you!
