Professional Puppy Training in Gilbert, AZ

Expert Puppy Training and Behavior Development Services

Off Leash K9 Training of Phoenix serves dog owners in Gilbert, AZ, with several puppy training options. These include a consultation for puppies five months old or younger and a two-week Puppy Board & Train for puppies at least 12 weeks old.

The Puppy Training Consultation provides guidance on foundational obedience, house training, and early puppy questions. Puppy Board & Train covers listed commands, leash skills, manners, and crate- and potty-training routines.

Program recommendations depend on the puppy’s age, health, temperament, behavior, training history, and the owner’s goals. Private obedience, reward-based Basic Marker Mastery™, and aggression-focused programs are also available, but their age requirements, curricula, and equipment differ.

The consultation and private-lesson formats involve owners directly. Puppy Board & Train concludes with a two-hour one-on-one owner session explaining what the puppy learned and how the owner should continue the training. Progress depends on consistent practice and reinforcement at home.
