Desireah Hughes - TRAINER
Born in California and found home in Arizona. She has had a passion and love for dogs since she was a kid, volunteering at shelters and fostered elderly dogs until she could get a dog of her own.
Desireah found Off Leash K9 Training after her first dog went through the board and train program and it transformed her relationship with her dog! She loves all pups but has a major soft spot for the shy and timid ones.
Desireah looks forward to helping others enjoy more adventures and freedom with their furry companions!
Shanna Ewoldt - TRAINER
Shanna Ewoldt’s lifelong love and passion for animals were fostered as she grew up with pets ranging from rabbits to horses and started pet sitting at the age of ten.
After graduating from Alfred University with a BA in Biology and a Minor in equine science, Shanna spent 12 years working for multiple animal shelters in Maryland.
Nine years ago, Shanna adopted her first dog, a Rottweiler named Carter, and subsequently found Off Leash and her love for dog training.
Shanna has attended multiple seminars and studied under various trainers to grow and develop as a trainer. Shanna turned her passion into her job and joined the Off Leash family as a trainer in 2022.
Brie Ewoldt - Trainer
Brie is an Arizona girl. She lived here for 11 years until her family packed up and made several moves around the US, including a mission for the LDS church in Colorado. Arizona was always home so after 16 years, she made the move back and is settled where she belongs.
Animals have been a staple in Brie’s life starting with the family Akitas, numerous rescue/foster kittens, and one hot blooded Arabian horse. Brie worked as a professional pet sitter and dog walker when she was not able to have a pet of her own because she missed those slobbery kisses and cuddles from four legged friends.
When she was able to welcome her first puppy, a GSD named Tabolt, she wanted to do right by him. She worked with Off Leash K9 Phoenix and was thrilled with the bond the training helped them create. She got the training bug and never wants to stop! When a trainer position became available, she jumped at the opportunity.
Brie has been with Offleash since 2021. She has taken classes and worked with other trainers to improve her skills. She loves helping owners and their dogs improve their lives and relationships.
