Off Leash K9 of Port St Lucie

Off Leash K9 Training offers various programs tailored to different needs, emphasizing off-leash, distraction-proof obedience. Their core training uses e-collars, which they describe as a communication device similar to a “tickle” or a phone vibrating, not a “shock.” They demonstrate its mild stimulation on a human arm.

Basic Obedience (4 lessons) covers “Come,” “Sit” (and Extended Sit), “Place,” “Heel” (loose leash walking), “Down” (and Extended Down), and “Off” (correcting unwanted behavior). Advanced Obedience (6 lessons) builds on basic commands and can focus on specific goals like aggression, advanced commands, environmental distractions, or therapy dog preparation.

Board & Train programs (1 or 2 weeks) offer immersive training where the dog boards with a professional trainer, learning commands and behavior modification. The 2-week program includes handling multiple distractions and manners (greeting, door, meal). Service Dog programs are available as private lessons or board & train, with additional sessions to prepare dogs for service work.

Puppy Consultation (for dogs under 5 months) focuses on basic obedience foundation using clicker/treat methods, house training, crate training, socialization, and pack structure. Therapy Dog Development (6 private lessons) prepares dogs for testing and certification. Aggressive Dog Package (6 private lessons) targets aggression/reactivity issues, including basic obedience and desensitization around other dogs. Training sessions are generally conducted in unfamiliar environments to ensure dogs listen anywhere, not just at home. Owners are taught to incorporate training into daily routines.
