Hi, I’m Chad — a tech explorer by day, application builder by trade, and digital product manager by profession. But beyond the screens and servers, I’m also a lifelong dog lover.
For years, I shared my life with two amazing Goldendoodles who brought endless joy, adventure, and love. They’ve since crossed the rainbow bridge, but their paw prints are forever in my heart. Today, my four-legged partner-in-crime is Amara, a spirited young Weimaraner with boundless energy and a nose for adventure.
At just five months old, Amara has already helped me rediscover the joys (and challenges!) of leash-free training. As we started exploring local parks together, I quickly realized how hard it was to find accurate, up-to-date info on off-leash parks — not just where they were, but what they offered, which dogs they suited, and what pet parents should know before going.That’s when it hit me: Why isn’t there a one-stop, dog-friendly hub for all things leash-free in Canada?
So, I built one. LeashFree.ca is the site I wish existed when I started this journey. It’s made for curious pups, adventurous humans, and anyone who believes in safe, fun, and informed leash-free play. Whether you're training a new pup, looking for a quiet park, or just chasing a new tail-wagging trail, this is your go-to guide.We’re just getting started — but with a growing list of parks, community tips, and dog-friendly insights, LeashFree.ca is here to make every outing pawsome.
