Meet The Off Leash K9 Team

Lindsay

Lindsay joined Off Leash K9 Training 10 years ago to merge her communications expertise with a lifelong passion for dogs. She earned her Public Relations degree from ODU and continued her education at FGCU and NDSU. Working behind the scenes, she is the engine that keeps everything moving—overseeing social media, coordinating schedules, managing continuing education, and ensuring every client is thoughtfully placed in the program that best fits their goals.

Known for her precision and problem-solving mindset, Lindsay plays a key role in delivering a seamless, elevated experience from first contact through completion. She is committed to providing clear communication, personalized guidance, and a level of care that reflects the standard of excellence our clients expect. At her core, Lindsay is driven by a simple mission: to keep dogs with the families who love them while helping each one reach their highest potential.

Outside of work, she is running around with her three children and five dogs. She also enjoys cooking, traveling, and baseball. 

Cristian

Cristian’s passion for dog training began when he enrolled his own dog in obedience classes, reigniting a childhood dream of working professionally with dogs. Inspired by that experience, he pursued his passion and became a certified dog trainer. With a strong background in customer service and team management, Cristian brings excellent communication, leadership, and instructional skills to help clients build confidence and develop stronger relationships with their dogs. As the proud owner of three Huskies, he understands firsthand the importance of consistency, patience, and effective training in everyday life.

"Our puppy, “Diggs”, was completely transformed during our trainings with his trainer, Cristian. Not only is he so much more behaved, but he has newfound confidence as well."

"Having done the training it is such a liberating feeling for me and I can see how liberating it is for Gaia to be off-leash. Now, I don't have to worry when I call her to come right back to my feet. Cristian was fantastic and always made himself available."

"Cristian took his time getting Mildred comfortable each time we got together and that was very important for her training. I could see an improvement in her confidence after the first session."

"Cristian worked with Charlie everyday to show him proper manners.He took him to the park, Lowes and Walmart to test him in different environments. He kept me informed with texts, pictures and videos daily! I never once worried about Charlie’s care. He came home a new dog. He is amazing thanks to Cristian. "
