Creating Better Lives For Dogs and Their Owners

Brad Cranston | Owner & Head Trainer

I’ve been a dog lover since my earliest memories, and my passion for training dogs started when I was just 10 years old, teaching basic and advanced commands to my family’s Rat Terrier, Yankee. Little did I know that this hobby would eventually become my life’s work.

After earning my business degree, I spent four years working in the corporate world before realizing that my true calling was working with dogs. I left the office life behind and started traveling across the country to learn more about different training techniques and observe how larger and smaller training operations worked. This experience helped me to recognize the difference between effective and ineffective training methods and inspired me to launch my own business, Great Off Leash Dog Training.

“Give thy dog freedom and respect thy dog shall show back”

At Great Off Leash Dog Training, my mission is to give dogs and their owners the opportunity to build a genuine trust and respect relationship through effective communication. My goal is to change dog owners’ realities by training their pups to have good behavior, allowing them to take them anywhere without a leash. I’ve trained over 1,000 dogs of all ages and breeds and am proud to be Upstate New York’s top-rated individual off-leash dog trainer, according to Google Reviews.

I’ve developed three different dog training programs tailored to my clients’ needs and availability. Using dog psychology and smart technology, I’m able to train dogs in a shorter than average amount of time in a humane and effective way. This approach has helped me revolutionize my training and gain an overwhelming amount of positive reviews.

For me, training dogs isn’t just a career, it’s a lifestyle and an art. I’m passionate about accurately reading dogs, communicating with them, and seamlessly training them. I’ve devoted my life to giving dogs and their owners the G.O.L.D. Life – giving my clients control of their dogs without a leash, regardless of activity or distraction. Join me in creating a stronger bond between you and your furry friend, and let’s unlock your dog’s full potential together.
