Michelle Guarino is the owner of Off Leash K9 Training Rochester, NY. She is originally from Vienna, Virginia and received her BS in Economics from Virginia Tech in 2006. From cats and dogs to ferrets and chinchillas, Michelle has kept various pets in her household since she was a young child. She had hoped animal care and training would be a path she could pursue as a career one day.

Michelle began formally working with animals 16 years ago, starting out as a veterinary technician in 2000. She has honed her skills in various sectors of animal care; from emergency response at a veterinary clinic to oncology at a specialty practice in Vienna, Virginia. In 2015 Michelle transitioned into the training sector and began working at the headquarters of Off Leash K9 Training. Since joining the OLK9 team, Michelle continues to receive positive feedback from her many satisfied clients.

OLK9 uses marker training, but we specialize in e-collar training to gain amazing obedience from your dog. There are a bunch of major misconceptions with e-collar training (see FAQ). E-collar training is more about using a ball as a reward, than it is about using the e-collar.

Off-Leash K9 Training is comprised of off leash dog trainers with experience and training ranging from the US Marine Corps, DOD, US Secret Service, and private sector experience! We guarantee 100% Obedience, 100% Off-Leash! Your dog will be trained to have the same level of obedience as most police/military working dogs!

What we enjoy most is seeing dogs that have spent their whole life on a leash, now being 100% Off-Leash and obedient! We thrive off of seeing the joy in both the dogs’ and the owners’ face when they have mastered a new command without the restriction of a leash.
