Off Leash K9 Training Columbus

Off Leash K9 Training Columbus offers several core programs. Obedience Training includes Basic and Advanced Obedience. Basic Obedience is 4 private lessons covering commands like Come, Off, Sit, Heel, Down, and Place, with extended holds. Advanced Obedience is 8 private lessons (including the basic 4) focusing on distance control, additional commands (Watch, Through, Front, Stand), and training in high-distraction environments. Both include an e-collar and leash.

Board and Train programs involve dogs staying with a professional trainer in their home for 1 or 2 weeks. The 1-Week program focuses on obedience, potty training, confidence building, socialization, and environmental desensitization. The 2-Week program aims for 100% obedient, distraction-proof dogs, covering daily obedience lessons, evaluation, and action plans for challenges like aggression and anxiety. Human-aggressive dogs are not accepted for Board and Train and require private lessons at their facility.

Puppy Training is for puppies under 6 months, starting with a 60-minute Puppy Consultation ($95, credited to future programs) covering personalized plans, socialization, potty training, anxiety management, and basic reward-based commands. The Marker Mastery Program ($450) is a positive reinforcement-only program for continued development.

Aggressive Dog Training is an 8-week intensive Aggression/Anxiety program. The first 4 weeks focus on Basic Obedience, and the second 4 weeks address triggers and management through customized protocols in various environments. This program can be done via private lessons at their facility or Board and Train (except for human-aggressive dogs). All programs emphasize building communication, trust, and confidence, with weekly homework for owners.

Policies

They offer a money-back guarantee if a client is unhappy after the first obedience lesson, provided the trainer is informed before leaving the session. Board and Train programs (1-week and 2-week) come with a lifetime guarantee, offering free refreshers and lessons for the dog’s lifetime. While they guarantee 100% obedience for Board and Train, they state that major behavioral issues may not be fully “fixed” in short periods but will be managed. They do not guarantee specific outcomes for obedience lessons, emphasizing owner commitment.

How to Get Started!

Clients can start by scheduling a free phone consultation (20-30 minutes) to discuss their dog’s needs and determine the best program. For puppy training, a private puppy consultation can be booked after an initial phone call and preliminary information form. It is advised to call ahead for Board and Train programs due to potential waiting lists.
