Private Lesson Programs

Private lessons give owners and their dogs dedicated time with a professional trainer. Owners remain directly involved throughout the process and practice the assigned skills between lessons.

Basic Obedience 4 Week Program
This program includes four private lessons covering Come, Sit, Down, Place, Drop, Heel, and loose-leash walking. It also addresses unwanted behaviors such as jumping, counter surfing, and poor door manners. Listed equipment may include an e-collar, prong collar, and 15-foot leash where applicable.

Basic & Advanced Obedience 8 Week Program
The first four lessons follow the Basic Obedience curriculum. The remaining lessons may include work around greater distractions, extended-distance obedience, field-trip lessons, off-leash recall when appropriate, or advanced commands such as Touch, Watch, Send to Place, Through, and Come to Heel.

Board & Train Programs

Board & Train programs provide an immersive format in which a dog stays with a professional trainer and works on obedience, manners, recall, and distractions throughout the program. The appropriate option depends on the dog’s age, behavior, current skills, and training goals.

2 Week Board & Train
This two-week immersive program covers seven commands, loose-leash walking, greeting manners, door manners, play, and work around distractions. Heel is practiced on leash in public and off leash when applicable, while off-leash recall is included only when appropriate for the dog.

After training, owners receive a two-to-three-hour turnover session and a mandatory one-hour follow-up lesson approximately two weeks later. Missing the required follow-up means giving up access to the included free refresher lessons.

10 Day On-Leash Board & Train
This program covers on-leash recall, sit, down, place, drop, heel, loose-leash walking, unwanted behavior management, door manners, play, and recall around practical distractions. It includes a 1.5-hour owner turnover session. Off-leash recall may be a goal when appropriate, but it is not guaranteed for every dog.

1 Week Freedom Board & Train
This one-week program covers recall, sit, place, drop, loose-leash walking, greeting manners, door manners, meal manners, and work around practical distractions. It includes a 1.5-hour owner turnover session, followed by additional heel and down lessons. Off-leash recall may be pursued when appropriate, but it is not guaranteed.

Owner turnover sessions, follow-up lessons, and refresher requirements vary by program. Review the selected package and confirm its requirements before enrolling.

Specialized Training

Reactivity & Aggression Dog Training
This nine-lesson private program is designed for dogs experiencing aggression, reactivity, fear, underconfidence, or environmental anxiety.

The program begins with an in-depth evaluation of the dog’s triggers, confidence level, emotional patterns, and behavioral history. Early lessons focus on confidence building, emotional regulation, changing the dog’s perception of triggers, threshold management, structured desensitization, controlled exposure, and play-driven engagement.

Obedience is introduced after the dog becomes more emotionally stable and begins making better decisions. Results vary, and the program should not be presented as a guaranteed cure for aggression or reactivity. Muzzle training may also be required during the early part of the program.

Owners can review this guide on how to properly muzzle train an aggressive or reactive dog for additional information.

Therapy Dog Preparation
This eight-lesson program prepares dogs and handlers for therapy dog evaluation or testing. The first four lessons follow the Basic Obedience curriculum, while the remaining lessons focus on the requirements of the therapy organization or facility where the owner intends to volunteer.

Certification requirements vary. Owners should confirm which organization their intended facility accepts and ask during the consultation whether evaluation or certification through Therapy Pets Unlimited is currently available.

Puppy Training

Age-appropriate puppy training can begin soon after a puppy comes home. Early training can help establish routines, communication, basic manners, and safe socialization foundations.

Puppy Training Consultation
This consultation provides a foundation for basic obedience, offers house-training guidance, and gives owners an opportunity to ask questions about puppy behavior and training.

10 Day Pawsitive Foundation Puppy Board & Train
This program is designed for vaccinated puppies approximately 12 to 24 weeks old. Training covers sit, down, place, loose-leash walking, recall on a 15-foot leash, greeting manners, and socialization foundations.

The trainer also helps establish a housebreaking and crate-training schedule for owners to continue at home. Housebreaking and crate-training results are not guaranteed.

Comprehensive Puppy To Adult Board & Train
This two-phase program begins with the 10-day puppy program when the puppy is approximately 12 to 24 weeks old. The dog returns for a complete two-week Board & Train between approximately eight months and 1.5 years old.

The second phase covers formal obedience, manners, distractions, and off-leash recall when applicable. Free obedience refresher lessons are included for the life of the dog.

Online Puppy Training Course
This self-paced course contains 24 video modules, eight worksheets, and approximately three hours of training content. Topics include potty training, crate training, confidence building, common puppy concerns, and basic commands taught using markers and rewards.

For additional puppy guidance, review the Puppy Socialization Checklist and the guide to leash training a puppy without stress.

Tracking Programs

Tracking and nose work programs give dogs and handlers an opportunity to develop scent-tracking skills through progressively more challenging environments.

Exploring Tracking: Introduces basic tracking concepts, starts, motivation, line work, tracking commands, and article indication
Beginner Tracking: Progresses to longer tracks, road crossings, and more advanced trail work
Beginner & Basic Urban Tracking: Introduces street crossings and beginning urban tracking in different parks and locations

How Our Training Process Works

Thousands of 5-Star Reviews

Rated 4.9 out of 5

My girl is a rescue and once she got acclimated she thought she was boss. She became a bit overbearing for some of our visitors and given the fact that she is a GSD people tended to avoid her. That's not the life we wanted for her or our guests! Off Leash K9 was terrific. They met all of our needs. Our girl knows commands and is able to walk without her leash. We also allow her out back to wee and she comes back to the door. Kelsey also suggested we take her out shopping. We've hit a few of the dog friendly stores and she did fabulous. She was polite to other customers and listened to commands (even with all of the obvious distractions). This was an awesome training program. We couldn't be more pleased!

We absolutely love this place! I don’t know why you would take your dog anywhere else. Our trainer Cassie is so nice, caring, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. Our puppy Finnigan is literally a whole different dog now! It is, however, important to realize that you have to put in some quality training time yourself and you can’t expect instant results from a lesson if you don’t do your work at home. I have literally been recommending this place to any dog owner I know!!! Finnigan loves coming to his lessons and has fun every time he’s there! This place is awesome and as a dog owner looking for obedience classes you would be making a mistake not to come here.

Chris GVerified Google Review

Off Leash training is the best!! We had an initial consultation and signed up for the 4 lessons package. Matt is great! He is patient and warm and friendly. Chance was a different dog after the first lesson. I saw immediate results. An obedient dog is a pleasure but it’s also safer for him. You won’t be disappointed.
