Just one lesson in so far, but all of the staff and trainers were very friendly, and my dog felt instantly at ease with our specific trainer. Their training style places a high priority on animal welfare, which was very important to me. Our dog is taking lessons because she thinks sidewalks are just for her and not other dogs; she has new desire to yell at delivery workers to get off her lawn; and people who visit don't understand her European roots and that it is customary to lick each other's face when greeting one another. We explained she lives in America now, but she does not accept this. Alas, we are now in doggy etiquette school. But I know she's in great hands!

Great facility. We brought our dog here before we moved away a few years ago and were so excited to bring him back now that we’ve moved back to Annapolis. They remembered our dog and he loves going to daycare.

I have been working with Leash Free Living - taking group classes with my dogs, bringing my dogs to day training, and taking private lessons - for the past 2+ years. Our experiences have been very consistent and very positive. My dogs love the trainers here, and look forward to their time with Leash Free Living. Greatly appreciate their good communication with me and their consistent methods. I've learned so much & highly recommend LFL.

Leash free living dog school and private lessons are AMAZING!!! My husband and I have learned so much and Scooby (our pup) has made a huge improvement in his behavior. We have mostly worked with Jacqui and she is phenomenal!! The sign up process was a bit confusing, but once we established a plan it's been a wonderful, informative experience! AND they take some pups on field trips..which I was surprised and thrilled about, since our main goal is to be able to take Scooby everywhere with us! They really cater to your goals and your dog's needs. I highly recommend Leash free living!!
