Our head trainer, Michelle Guarino, is a Licensed Veterinary Technician with over 16 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of every breed, temperament, and behavioral challenge.

Why Victor Families Choose Off Leash K9 Training

Getting to Off Leash K9 Training from Victor

No matter which route you choose, our facility is easily accessible and offers ample parking. Many of our Victor clients combine their training drop-off or lesson with errands in downtown Fairport — it is a convenient trip.

Puppy Training for Victor Families

Victor's family-oriented neighborhoods — from the established areas near Victor Village to newer developments along High Point and Rowley Road — are full of young families bringing home puppies. Our Puppy Training Program starts at just $375 and builds the behavioral foundation your puppy needs during those critical early months.

Socialization is everything for a young dog, and Victor offers outstanding environments to practice. The paved Auburn Trail is ideal for controlled leash walks with new sights, sounds, and people. Boughton Park's wide-open trails let your puppy experience nature in a manageable setting, while a stroll through Victor Village on Main Street provides the kind of urban-lite exposure that builds real-world confidence.

We teach foundational commands — sit, down, place, come, heel — while also addressing common puppy challenges like nipping, jumping, leash pulling, and housebreaking. The goal is a well-mannered companion you can take anywhere in Victor with confidence.

Board and Train Programs — Perfect for Busy Victor Professionals

Victor is home to many working professionals and busy families who need comprehensive training results without the time commitment of weekly lessons. Our immersive Board and Train programs are the solution.

Your dog stays at our facility and receives daily, intensive training from Michelle and our team. When they come home, they are a transformed companion — responsive, obedient, and ready for off-leash reliability.*

Both programs include a detailed handover session where we teach you everything your dog learned, plus lifetime free refresher courses to maintain results long-term.* Financing is available through Affirm at 0% APR, making it easy to invest in your dog's training without financial strain.

*Results may vary. Our guarantee covers the training program as outlined in your service agreement. Lifetime free refresher courses are included for all program graduates per the terms of your service agreement.

Aggressive Dog Training in Victor

Living in a growing community like Victor means your dog encounters more triggers every day — other dogs on the Fishers trails, crowds near the Eastview Mall area, cyclists on the Lehigh Crossing Trail, and heavy foot traffic along the Route 96 corridor. If your dog reacts with lunging, barking, or aggression in these situations, our Aggression Program can help.

Our 9-lesson program ($1,050) addresses the root causes of reactivity and aggression, not just the symptoms. Michelle Guarino's veterinary technician background gives her a unique understanding of the physiological stress responses that drive aggressive behavior — an advantage that makes a measurable difference in outcomes.

We work with dogs who display leash reactivity, dog-on-dog aggression, resource guarding, fear-based aggression, and territorial behavior. If you have been told your dog is "too far gone," contact us. We have helped hundreds of dogs in the Rochester metro overcome serious behavioral challenges.

Struggling with separation anxiety? That is another area where our clinical approach delivers results other trainers cannot match.

Off-Leash Dog Training — Unleash Your Dog in Victor's 90+ Miles of Trails

Here is what makes Victor truly special for dog owners: the community maintains an extraordinary 90+ miles of hiking trails through the Victor Hiking Trails volunteer network. Add the sprawling Ganondagan State Historic Site with its 569 acres of grasslands and wooded trails, and Boughton Park's 300+ acres of ponds and forest paths, and Victor is one of the best communities in all of Western New York for outdoor adventures with your dog.

But none of that matters if you cannot trust your dog off-leash.

Our obedience training programs are built from the ground up to achieve true off-leash reliability. We do not mean "mostly listens" or "comes when there are no distractions." We mean your dog responds to commands at a distance, around other dogs, wildlife, and real-world distractions — the kind you encounter on Ganondagan's open grasslands or deep in Boughton Park.*

*Results may vary. Our guarantee covers the training program as outlined in your service agreement.

On-Leash and Loose-Leash Walking in Victor

Not every outing calls for off-leash freedom. Walking through Victor Village along Main Street, browsing the shops, grabbing coffee, or strolling the paved Auburn Trail — these are on-leash environments where your dog still needs to behave impeccably.

Our training includes thorough loose-leash walking instruction. No more pulling, lunging at other dogs, or dragging you toward every squirrel. Your dog will walk calmly at your side whether you are navigating the Eastview Mall parking lot or enjoying a weekend walk through Dryer Road Park.

This on-leash reliability is built into every program we offer — from the Puppy Program to our most advanced Board and Train packages.

Therapy Dog Training for Victor Residents

Victor's strong sense of community extends to its schools, senior facilities, and healthcare connections across the Rochester metro. Our Therapy Dog Training Program ($875) prepares your dog for certification and real-world therapy work.

We train dogs to remain calm and focused in high-stimulation environments — hospitals like Strong Memorial, local schools, nursing homes, and community events. A certified therapy dog is an extraordinary asset to the Victor community and beyond.
