OUR DOG TRAINING PROGRAMS
General Dog Obedience Training
Our obedience programs help dogs build reliable everyday skills through clear structure, consistent communication, and practical training. Dogs learn essential commands such as sit, down, place, heel, and recall while improving focus, manners, impulse control, and responsiveness at home and in public settings. This training is ideal for owners who want a calmer, more attentive dog with better behavior around daily distractions.
Board and Train Programs
Our board and train programs give dogs focused, structured training while they stay with a professional trainer. These programs help build stronger obedience, better leash manners, improved recall, calmer behavior, and more reliable responses around distractions. This option is ideal for owners who want consistent, hands-on training to help their dog develop better habits in everyday situations.
Puppy Training Programs
Our puppy training programs help young dogs build confidence, good manners, and strong habits from the start. Training focuses on early obedience, crate training, potty training routines, socialization, confidence building, and clear communication between puppy and owner. This program is ideal for new puppy owners who want to prevent unwanted behaviors and create a strong foundation for long-term success.
Private Dog Training Lessons
Private dog training lessons give owners one-on-one coaching and a clear plan to improve their dog’s obedience, manners, and communication. Each lesson is tailored to your dog’s age, temperament, behavior, and training goals, making it easier to build progress at home. This option is ideal for owners who want direct guidance, hands-on practice, and a training plan that fits their dog’s specific needs.

"I cant thank Off Leash and Ali enough. My dog Ziah completed the 2 week board and train program in Surprise, AZ. She came back completely obedient and a happier dog. I would highly recommend for anyone having obedient or reactivity issues. Ali is the best!!! Thank yall so much."
"Brie was awesome for our puppy Honey! Not only did we do some sessions at the park to start the process of behavior training but we also had Honey go to full bootcamp with Brie and she came back so much calmer, no more biting, and much more well trained. We are excited to keep up the hard work. Thank you Brie and Off leash!"
"My German Shepherd was trained by Tyler in the 14 day board & train program. My dog learned so much and was super excited to show off his new skills. We met with Tyler after the training and he was incredibly thorough with all of the commands and answered all of my questions. Another important part for me was Tyler’s updates that he sent every day with videos of my dog’s progress and notes about how he was doing. I felt safe having him in such good hands, and I couldn’t be more proud of my dog!."

How much does dog training cost in Phoenix?
Dog training costs in Phoenix vary based on your dog’s age, behavior, training goals, and the type of program you choose. Basic obedience, puppy training, private lessons, board and train programs, therapy dog preparation, and aggression training all require different levels of time, structure, and trainer involvement.
For example, a young puppy learning early manners may need a different program than an adult dog struggling with leash pulling, recall, reactivity, or aggressive behavior. Board and train programs usually involve more intensive daily training, while private lessons focus on coaching owners directly so they can continue building progress at home.
The best way to understand the right cost is to schedule a consultation. A trainer can learn more about your dog, explain the available programs, and recommend the best option based on your dog’s needs and your long-term goals.
How long does obedience training take?
Obedience training time depends on the program and your dog’s training goals. Off Leash K9 Training Phoenix lists Basic Obedience as a 4-week program with 4 private lessons, while Basic + Advanced Obedience is an 8-week program with 8 private lessons. For owners who want more immersive training, the 2 Week Board & Train includes two weeks of training while the dog boards with a professional trainer. The right timeline depends on your dog’s age, current obedience level, behavior, and how much reliability you want around distractions.
Is board and train worth it?
Board and train can be worth it for Phoenix owners who want a more structured and immersive training option for their dog. Off Leash K9 Training Phoenix lists its 2 Week Board & Train as a program where the dog boards with a professional trainer, receives two weeks of immersive training, works on 6 guaranteed commands, full off-leash recall, handling distractions in multiple environments, and greeting, door, and meal manners. The program also includes a 2-hour one-on-one owner session after completion so owners can learn how to properly handle and maintain the training at home.
This program may be a strong option for dogs that need focused obedience, better leash manners, improved recall, stronger manners, and more reliable behavior around distractions. However, long-term success still depends on the owner continuing the training, following the handling instructions, and reinforcing the dog’s new habits after the program.
What age should puppy training begin?
Puppy training should begin as early as possible once your puppy is home and ready to start learning basic routines. Off Leash K9 Training Phoenix offers a Puppy Training Consultation for puppies 5 months or younger, which focuses on building a foundation for basic obedience, house training, and answering owner questions about puppy training.
Starting early helps puppies build better habits before unwanted behaviors become harder to manage. For young puppies, training should focus on simple obedience, potty training routines, crate training, leash foundations, confidence, and clear communication between the puppy and owner.
Do you train aggressive dogs?
Yes. Off Leash K9 Training Phoenix offers training options for dogs with aggression or reactivity issues. Their Aggressive Dog Training program is designed for dogs that react around other dogs and includes basic obedience plus additional lessons focused on working around other dogs in different scenarios. The goal is to give owners better control, clearer handling skills, and desensitization tools.
The site also lists an Aggression Board & Train option that includes immersive training, additional weekly lessons for aggression issues, obedience commands, distraction work, manners, and a one-on-one owner session after completion.
