“We used Virginia for a board and train for our new rescue, Frank. Frank was a very anxious pup who couldn’t calm down, making it difficult for me to work from home. Unleashed took such great care of Frank during his time with them and I was provided many videos and photos of him! Frank came home from his board and train as a new dog! So much calmer and much better at listening to us. Virginia gave us all the tools we needed to continue training him at home and he is a much happier, calmer dog now. I highly suggest Unleashed Canine Obedience!”

“Unleashed Canine Obedience is amazing. We were ready to return our year-old Golden Retriever to the breeder because of his behavior. Our dog went to their board & train program for three weeks. During that time, Virginia worked on his negative behaviors and then taught us how to work with him. The difference in just those three weeks was amazing and Virginia and Alayna have continued to work with us to ensure our dog continues to improve. They are both wonderful people who truly care about each dog they work with and also help the owners continue to be consistent with obedience at home. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Virginia is one of a kind! She is effective and uses gentle training methods. We worked with her when we had two English bullies and now our new puppy Ziggy. She has been a huge help and is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and training. Definitely worth the investment!”

“Five stars are simply not enough for Virginia and the amazing team at Unleashed Canine Obedience. Our Bernedoodle Pepper just completed a three-week training session/stay, and we’re absolutely over the moon with the results.
Before we arrived at Unleashed, Pepper was a bundle of energy that seemed to have a mind of her own. But after working with Virginia, she’s now the obedient, well-behaved furry friend we always knew she could be. From learning new commands to conquering her separation anxiety, Pepper’s transformation is nothing short of remarkable.
What sets Unleashed apart is not just their expertise in canine behavior, but also their incredible kindness and care for the animals they work with. Virginia and her team treated Pepper like one of their own, showering her with attention, belly rubs, and plenty of treats. We were updated frequently on her progress, and it was clear that she was thriving under their watchful eye.
We’re so grateful to Virginia and the Unleashed team for their outstanding work. If you’re looking for a place to help your furry friend become the best version of themselves, Unleashed is the place to be. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you, Virginia, for all that you do!”

“From the moment Virginia (whom we contacted because she came highly recommended) arrived at our door, we all relaxed...we relaxed a LOT, and we were all putty in her hands throughout her 90-minute first visit. Why were we putty? Because she worked miracles. Wendell (our wonderful dog) began improving his behavior right on the spot right in front of our eyes as soon as he realized that there are boundaries—but most importantly, there are rewards for respecting them. Virginia invited us to then practice what she taught while she was at our home, and we’ve done as she suggested...and
Wendell is certainly behaving better. I’m completely confident that Wendell (and his owners!) will very soon become relaxed around guests who visit our home...which will allow our guests to relax, too.
Wendell’s day-and-night explosive barking at all the sounds in the universe has GREATLY subsided, too, and let me tell you, that’s a relief.
I HIGHLY recommend Virginia.”

“Virginia and Alayna have worked with both of our dogs, Izzy and Iris. We cannot recommend them enough! Both Izzy and Iris participated in their puppy training and continue to receive their support with training. Their approach is kind and their knowledge of what our dogs need has been top notch. Our dogs love their time with them and have benefitted so much from their care and guidance. We all have!”

“Our 7 mo old Goldendoodle was a ball of happiness and fun...and totally out of control. I couldn’t walk him, he pulled me the entire time, he counter surfed, he grabbed and pulled at anything that was hanging from coats to dish towels to paper, etc. While his joy was oozing, I was super frustrated and could not go about my day at all. Virginia came recommended by a stranger we met at a park walking our dog. Later I found out two of our neighbors used her, as well. That was it...I signed our puppy up for puppy camp with Virginia. I can honestly say it was the best move we have ever made with a pet. Our pup came back walking lose leash, came running when called, has learned to stay and wait until I release him to move and he’s not grabbing everything in sight any longer. I trip over my words with gratitude for Virginia and staff. I totally enjoy my puppy right now instead of being frustrated!”

“Virginia is amazing. Oscar stayed with her for two weeks and he learned more during that time than I could ever teach him. We had 4 90 min sessions after the two weeks to get used to the routines he that will help him retain what he’s learned. She is knowledgeable and cared for Oscar like he was her own. I highly recommend Unleashed Canine Obedience.”

“Unleashed Canine Obedience has exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. Virginia, Alayna and Kate have been such a pleasure to work with. Starting with the introduction call we had with Virginia we knew we made the right choice in dog training. From the moment we dropped our pup off for her Set For Life program we knew she was in great hands. We got to watch our dogs progress every step of the way with the numerous photos we were sent. This is a true testament of how dedicated and carrying the whole team over at Unleashed Canine Obedience is! When we picked up our dog we could see an immediate and drastic change in her obedience and overall skills from basic commands, walking, and even being off leash. I think our pup was even a little sad to come home as she had so much fun while in her program! With the set for life program we love the ability to schedule follow up training session and the ability to have them in our home has been fantastic. Kate does such a great job of being extremely responsive to scheduling and questions we have. This has been such an easy process when it comes to communications. We are so happy and thankful that we went with the wonderful team over at Unleashed Canine Obedience. We love having the ability to have the confidence to bring our dog any place we want without the worry of behavior. I can’t thank and recommend this program and team enough! Thank you all.”

“We adopted a 11-month-old Mastador with significant stranger danger issues - she was terrified of everyone and everything. Virginia came highly recommended and from her first visit with Brandi, I knew we had contacted the right person. Virginia was so patient with Brandi even though it took 4 visits to our home before Brandi would even get close to her. Brandi spent 3 weeks with Virginia and Alayna and learned more in that 3 weeks than we would have been able to ever teach her. I am so thankful for the time they spent with her because she is becoming the dog we knew she could be. Thank you, Virginia, Alayna and Kate, for your continued patience and expertise!”
