Unleashed Canine Obedience is run by Virginia Simpson in the greater Cincinnati area. The offering centers on two multi-month board-and-train packages: "Out and About" (2-3 months, including two weeks of board training plus five private sessions) and "Set for Life" (5-6 months, with longer board training, private sessions, and a lifetime-support guarantee).
Approach and gaps
The stated philosophy is about building "a relationship between you and your dog—one rooted in trust, clarity, and real-life reliability," teaching dogs to calm themselves so they're more relaxed and responsive, and addressing common issues like leash pulling and jumping while lowering the dog's stress. The site does not state a specific training method label, list certifications, or give years of experience, and pricing displays as $0.00 (inquiry-based). Owners drawn to a longer, immersive board-and-train with ongoing support will want to contact Simpson directly to confirm methods and credentials.
Your dog stays with the trainer for an immersive, multi-week program.

Our Scottish Terrier puppy needed some help with leash training and how to interact with new people and dogs. Virginia was truly the best person for the job – she took time to learn about Sesame and her behavior before figuring out the best way to train her. Virginia helped connect us with a group of other people with dogs where Sesame can have fun and play. Additionally, Kate was extremely helpful and nice – when we needed to reschedule , Kate was able to help us! The resources that were provided were extremely thorough. If you need help with your puppies, Virginia is the go to! I would recommend her to anyone I know with dogs 😊

Virginia and her daughter Alayna have been terrific to work with training our dog, Coco! Always there to answer questions and meet for lessons. We highly recommend Unleashed Canine Obedience if you’re considering hiring someone to train your pup!

I've had a great experience with Unleashed Canine, Virginia is amazing. I'm thrilled I sent my dog for 3 weeks for training. Being able to have unlimited training sessions is huge because I can reach out and get support. My dog loves to see Virginia and you can tell he had a great experience staying at Unleashed Canine Obedience. I can't say enough about his off leash training and recall. He's an overall well rounded dog and member of our family.

We sent our lovable goofball Waylon off for a two-week board & train, and let me tell you—he came back a gentleman. From day one, the team at Unleashed was incredibly communicative. We got regular updates, adorable pics, and reassuring messages that made it clear Waylon wasn’t just training—he was thriving. Honestly, we think he might’ve been living his best life. (We’re still waiting for him to ask to go back for a play date.) They laid down a solid training foundation that we can build on, and now we have a dog who doesn’t treat every walk like a NASCAR race. He listens, he’s calm, and he even sits like he’s auditioning for a dog food commercial. We’re so grateful to the amazing trainers who clearly love what they do and treated Waylon like one of their own. If you're looking for a team that combines expertise, compassion, and just the right amount of dog whispering magic—Unleashed is it. Waylon gives it two paws up. We give it five stars. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Unleashed Canines has been an incredible gift for my puppy, Sundance. She spent several weeks training with Virginia, and the transformation has been remarkable. Virginia’s approach is completely rooted in positive reinforcement, and Sundance responded to it beautifully. What impressed me just as much is how much I learned. Virginia didn’t just train my dog; she taught me how to be a confident, consistent dog parent so Sundance can grow into a well-rounded, grounded adult canine. Sundance is on the path to becoming a service dog, and thanks to Virginia, she now has the strong foundation she needs to succeed. I’m genuinely grateful for the care, patience, and skill that went into every step of the process. I couldn’t recommend Unleashed Canines more highly.
