Note From The Owner

My name is Lauren, and I am a Canine Behaviorist. I grew up surrounded by pets, from Chinchillas to Horses. I moved to Alexandria with my Great Dane Duke and cat Cambria. In January 2020, I added two new additions to my fur family: Hera, my Goldendoodle, and Athos, my Great Dane! Honestly, I wouldn't want to do anything else; my whole life, I searched for the perfect career, and it was right here the entire time.
​
When I started Off Collar, I wanted to ensure I built a forward-thinking brand. The first focus has always been the relationship between pets and sitters, walkers, or trainers. I wanted to ensure we were experts in this field from the beginning. I have always made sure to hire people who are more than pet lovers. It hasn't always been easy, but I am happy that I have built a business in an industry I adore. I am incredibly proud to be a pet care professional and certified as a Dog Behavior Modification Trainer. I take a balanced approach to training, always ensuring to do what is best for your dog and you as an owner. I am grateful for the people I have met, the animals we care for, and my staff.
​
Whether it's walking your dog, feeding your cat, taking care of your pet while you're away, or training your pup, Off Collar always provides a nurturing and safe environment.
