Tell us about your dog, your goals and what has not worked. Off Leash K9 Training (K9 as in canine) recommends a program or tells you honestly if we are not the right fit.
Private lessons happen in real Sarasota-area parks with real distractions. Board & train (some owners call it dog boot camp or boarding and training) means your dog lives with the trainer and you get daily video report cards.
Every program includes the e-collar and leash. Lessons need about 45 minutes of daily practice; board & train ends with a 2–3 hour one-on-one handoff so you can keep the results.
Board & train graduates can come back for refreshers after completion. Details per program on the pricing page.

★★★★★My German Shepherd/Husky began her board and train with anxiety, terrible leash manners, and wouldn't listen to basic commands outside of sit. Now she holds place, walks well on a leash and off leash, and listens to all commands. I was in constant communication with the trainer, getting videos and picture updates during her stay.
★★★★★My dog went through the two week board and train program and I was shocked at the results. They sent me updates every day and when I got my dog back after two weeks he was a new dog. Before training Jax wouldn't listen to anything and now he listens to commands and doesn't jump on people anymore.
★★★★★Our dog Sandor is a lab-husky with very aggressive, protective tendencies. They've helped give us a solid foundation on how to care for and train Sandor, and are so helpful and patient when he needs some extra training. He stays with his trainers, gets to play, exercise, and some extra love from people we trust.
★★★★★Our trainers were both very professional. The level of care he has taken to make sure Rosie is not overtaxed during training, and to train me to train her, has been outstanding. We are 3 weeks into our 8 week training and Rosie went from never listening to sitting at my side without being asked and coming when called.
