Private Obedience Training

Our private lessons deliver one on one attention tailored to your dog’s behavior and your training goals. We offer three core obedience programs:

  • Basic Obedience: A 4-week training program with 4 private lessons covering essential commands—Come, Sit, Extended Sit, Down, Extended Down, Place, Extended Place, loose leash walking with Heel, and Off. Includes e-collar and 15-ft leash.
  • Advanced Obedience: Builds on foundational skills with commands like Watch, Through, Front, Stand, and extended distance obedience.
  • Basic + Advanced: An 8-week program combining both levels across 8 private lessons. The first four sessions establish basic obedience, while the final four develop advanced obedience capabilities.

Each training session focuses on building skills that transfer to your home environment and daily life with your family.

Board and Train Programs

For owners seeking immersive results, our board and train programs deliver comprehensive training while your dog stays with a professional trainer:

  • 2 Week Board & Train: Our 2 Week Board & Train gives your dog an immersive training experience focused on obedience, off-leash reliability, and better manners in everyday situations. We work on commands like sit, down, place, heel, recall, and off, along with greeting manners, waiting at doors and gates, waiting for meals, and training around real distractions such as people and other dogs.
  • Aggression Board & Train: Our Aggression Board & Train combines immersive obedience training with additional follow-up lessons for dogs dealing with aggression-related issues. This program is designed to give owners more structure, more control, and more guided support when working through challenging behavior.

Specialized Training Services

Beyond core obedience, we offer targeted programs for specific needs:

  • Puppy Training Consultations: Our Puppy Training Consultation helps you get started with early training foundations, better routines, and clear next steps for your puppy. We use these sessions to answer your questions, talk through common challenges, and help you build a strong base for future obedience work.
  • Aggressive Dog Training: An 8-week program for dogs with reactivity around other dogs. Includes the Basic Obedience package plus additional sessions in different scenarios, giving owners the skills, tools, and desensitization techniques needed to regain control.
  • Therapy Dog Preparation: Our Therapy Dog Preparation program includes 8 private lessons to help you and your dog prepare for therapy dog work. We focus on the obedience and behavior needed for evaluation, and we can evaluate, train, and certify qualifying dogs for therapy work.

Customer Testimonials

Rated 5 out of 5

“We sent Reggie to training with Ali two weeks ago. He was awful in the car and in public, always barking. He would ignore all commands. After two weeks of training the transformation is amazing!! When picking him up, we spent several hours practicing with Ali and we had a QUIET ride home! Continuous training at home will be a must, but we feel he has an excellent foundation now. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training and Ali!”

Kathryn Adams

“Ali was the perfect trainer for Miso. We were nervous because of her separation anxiety, but Ali made her feel calm and comfortable from the start. After two weeks, Miso came home with amazing progress. She now stays in place, walks calmly on and off leash, goes into her crate on command, and no longer rushes the door or barks nonstop. We are so grateful for Ali’s guidance and can already see how much happier and more relaxed Miso is.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does dog training take to see results?

Timeline varies based on the training program and your dog’s starting point. Private lessons typically show immediate improvements in basic commands, with lasting obedience developing over the 4-8 week course as you practice between sessions. Board and train programs deliver faster visible results—dogs return with reliable responses to commands—though owner follow-through remains essential for long-term success. Behavior modification for aggression or reactivity often requires weeks to months of consistent work.

Do you train dogs with aggression issues?

Yes. We offer two specialized options for dogs with aggressive behaviors. Aggressive Dog Training is an 8-week program for dogs reactive around other dogs, combining basic obedience with desensitization scenarios. Aggression Board & Train adds 4 weekly lessons to our 2-week immersive program for intensive behavior modification. Both programs give owners the skills and tools needed to regain control. Results depend on factors including your dog’s history, triggers, and your consistency with follow-up practice.
