Freak On A Leash Dog Training

Andrea helped us SO much with our ~spirited~ pom/chihuahua mix Hercules! We were clueless first time dog owners using a patchwork of training methods from puppy classes, YouTube videos, and Reddit threads. When Hercules started biting my husband, we were at our wits end and felt utterly defeated. Enter Andrea! She is laid back, non-judgmental, and super knowledgeable. Once we started implementing everything Andrea taught us, the biting stopped! She also worked with us on cooperative care/vet visits, excessive barking, and a relaxation protocol. We are so happy with our experience and no longer overwhelmed by our tiny terror!

I recently got a 9-month old cairn terrier and I knew I needed some guidance about training him to have basic manners - these little guys, while very sweet and adorable, can be stubborn and if not given a clear set of expectations, their behavior can get out of control easily. I contacted Freak On a Leash after seeing they had given puppy classes at my vet’s office. Based on my goals and type of training I was looking for, they recommend Karen Adams and their Basic Manners classes. And it has been a wonderful experience! Karen has walked me through a series of training steps beginning with the basics of sit, stay, the ever important “recall”, how to keep him from jumping on people, and other tips and suggestions to keep my puppy Jimmy engaged and learning. Perhaps even more importantly, Karen has helped me “retrain” my own actions to adjust from having older, settled dogs to having this energetic puppy, and gives me great feedback and encouragement. I could not have asked for a better trainer or program. Jimmy and I are progressing nicely! I highly recommend Freak On a Leash!

Karissahas worked with several of our dogs at Rainbow Animal Rescue and has done an amazing job. She is a very knowledgeable, caring, positive trainer who will help strengthen the bond between the family and you dog. Huck is a rescue and struggling with calmness. He has been to 2 classes with Karissa and there is a noticeable improvement. If your dog is struggling with any issues, see Freak on a Leash and get started on a better relationship with your furkid
