Your dog wasn’t born to walk on a leash for 20 minutes a day.

I help you unlock your dog’s true potential and develop a training plan that creates true freedom—from city streets to mountain peaks.

Well-behaved dogs live wilder lives

They were born to run, explore, problem-solve, and push their limits alongside you. You’re ready to discover what happens when you give them real purpose and challenge.

Your dog is struggling, and so are you

The biggest culprit? Dogs are woefully unfulfilled.

Dogs today are is under-exercised, mentally starved, and confused by unclear communication. They’re trapped in a life of 20-minute leash walks, puzzle toys, and mixed messages from owners who love them fiercely but don’t know what they actually need.

And the advice out there? Most of it is making things worse.

welcome to the rebellion

Here, we question what cultural norms, break the rules that hold dogs back, and make the kind of trouble that creates change.

Work with me

Hi, I’m Jen!

I’m a NePoPo® Gold Certified dog trainer, author of The Essential Guide to Hiking with Dogs, and the voice behind Off-Leash Rebels.

During a two-year bike trip across Europe and South America with my dog, Sora, I was forced to let go of all the things I was “supposed to” do with my dogs, and quickly discovered that all those rules kept us stuck.

The moment I let go? We finally became a team.

Welcome to Off-Leash Rebels, where I share what actually works—not what’s popular, not what’s “supposed to” work, but what creates real results with real dogs in the real world.
