Our amazing Trainers
Tim - OWNER (cincy/Indy)
Hello all and thank you for considering us as your trainer! I am Tim and as of January 1st, 2025, I am the owner of Off Leash K9 Training Cincinnati. A little background about myself. I’ve spent the past 19 years in the United States Air Force as a military police officer. Between 2009 and 2016 I was a K9 Handler and certified Department of Defense K9 Trainer. I’ve provided K9 protection to the President, Vice President, the Pope, U.S. and foreign heads of state and in 2024 I went to Guatemala to train the Guatemalan Military K9 Handlers.
Throughout my tenure, I’ve collaborated with esteemed K9 units across the nation, including the United States Secret Service, South Dakota Highway Patrol, and New York City Police Department, among others. In 2016, I transitioned from Active Duty to the Air Force Reserves, which enabled me to join Off Leash K9 Training Cincinnati. At that time, the team comprised Jeff Adler (founder of Off Leash K9 Cincinnati) and myself. Over the past nine years, Jeff and I (thanks to our incredible trainers) have transformed the company from a small two-trainer operation into the highest-rated dog training company in Cincinnati, Southeast Indiana, and Northern Kentucky, now boasting a team of nine exceptional trainers.
Our team is here to help you with your dogs no matter their age, size, breed, or issues and I assure you that you will not find better trainers anywhere in the area!
Cara - head Trainer
I have been a dog lover my whole life, but I got my first dog in October 2015. That is when I rescued Axle, a mastiff/pit mix. As Axle got older he was developing some extreme behavior. He had zero self confidence, did not listen, and barked/growled at anything living. I went through the training program here at Off Leash K9 and transformed Axle into a more confident dog! I loved working with Axle everyday at every opportunity to improve his behavior and prove to people he was a good boy!
My passion is being with dogs big or small so I became a dog trainer at Off Leash K9 Training Cincinnati and ever since then, I am working with dozens of dogs a week and making them just as amazing as Axle. I am constantly learning something new everyday and passing my knowledge to other people. I want to give people the satisfaction I got when I saw Axle become a whole new dog!
Mackensie- Trainer
Hello! I am Mackensie and this is my dog Bunsen. I have been an animal lover my whole life and dogs have always held a special place in my heart. In elementary school, I couldn’t wait for library day because it meant I could check out a book on a new dog breed each week. The ability to work with dogs everyday is definitely a dream come true. I find great joy in being able to help dogs build their confidence and share my knowledge with their owners. There is nothing better than watching the bond between owners and their dogs strengthen and grow throughout the process.

BIO
sunni - Trainer
Growing up, I was the kid who would bring home animals. I have always had a dog in my life. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t trying to teach my dog a new trick. They hold such a special place in my life and heart. The bond we build with dogs just doesn’t compare to any friendship and I strive for others to feel the same way. trainer and person.
Whitney - Trainer
Having a dog has always been a constant part of my life. I got my first Rottweiler (Sable) when I was 2 years old living in England as a military dependent. As we traveled around the world Sable was one thing I always knew would be there when everything else was changing around me. From the love that I had for our rottweilers grew a passion for all animals leading me to foster for local animal rescues in the Cincinnati area.
When I married my husband I was introduced to the world of Military Working Dogs and was enamored by the level of skill that came with training. My favorite part of dog training is seeing a dog’s confidence build and in turn the joy radiating to the owners.
My husband and I have three amazing children who share our love for training. You will often times see them making appearances in my videos as I believe it is an important building block for a dog to take commands from several voices big and small.
Susan - Trainer
With a profound love for dogs and a lifetime dedicated to their well-being, I bring 17 years of invaluable experience from my work with Cincinnati Lab Rescue (CLR). Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering hundreds of dogs and litters of puppies, providing them with the care and love they deserve. My journey with CLR has seen me grow into a leadership role where I currently help run our foster program, significantly increasing the number of dogs saved and rehomed.I am excited to convert my professional skills and lifelong passion into making a meaningful difference in the lives of dogs and their owners.
Logan - Trainer
Hey everyone, I’m Logan! I have had a love for animals as far back as I can remember. My husband and I have two wonderful kiddos who you’ll often see making an appearance in my videos. They also share my love for animals and help me convince my husband we need to keep expanding our mini farm! Over the years, I have had many different breeds of dogs. From miniature dachshunds to Mastiffs and Great Danes I have had the pleasure to love so many pups from big to small! I have a passion for helping people and pets and that’s part of why I love being a dog trainer. Seeing dogs build confidence and get so excited to share that with their owners is so rewarding to me!
Jalen -Trainer
I have loved animals my entire life. Anything furry and cuddly on four legs can catch my attention. I believe a house is not a home without a pet, more specifically a dog.
