Great question—and we're glad you asked! Our e-collar system is a communication device, not a punishment tool. Think of it like learning a new language with your dog.
The gentle sensation (similar to a phone vibration or a light tap on the shoulder) simply lets us "speak" to your dog clearly—even from 100 feet away at White Rock Lake or a busy Knox-Henderson patio.
Here's what most people don't realize: This is the exact same technology trusted by military K9 units and law enforcement worldwide. Why? Because it works WITHOUT causing stress or pain. Your dog doesn't feel punishment—they feel clarity. For the first time, they truly understand what you're asking.
During your free consultation, we'll demonstrate exactly how the e-collar feels (yes, on our own skin!) so you can experience it yourself. Most clients are surprised at how gentle it actually is.
The result? A confident, happy dog who listens because they understand—not because they're afraid. That's the Off Leash K9 difference.
Most dogs show significant improvement within 2-4 weeks with our intensive training methods. Here's what to expect:
• 2-Week Board & Train: Reliable off-leash obedience for most dogs
• 4-Week Elite Program: Complex behavioral issues, severe aggression, or advanced skills
• Private Lessons: 4-8 weeks depending on goals and practice consistency
Our methods produce faster results than traditional weekly group classes because your dog receives intensive daily training. Every dog learns at their own pace, but we don't stop until they've mastered the program.
Why we're faster: While other trainers see your dog once a week, our board & train dogs get multiple training sessions daily—that's 50+ sessions in 2 weeks vs. 8 sessions over 2 months.
Yes—aggressive dog rehabilitation is our specialty. Since 2016, we've transformed hundreds of aggressive dogs in Dallas-Fort Worth, including cases other trainers refused to take.
Our USMC veteran trainers specialize in aggression using proven methods from military and law enforcement K9 programs. We address the root cause of aggression—whether it's fear, resource guarding, territorial behavior, or dog-to-dog reactivity—not just the symptoms.
Types of aggression we work with:
• Dog-to-dog aggression & reactivity
• Human aggression (strangers, guests, family members)
• Resource guarding (food, toys, spaces)
• Fear-based aggression
• Territorial aggression
Important: Every aggressive dog gets a thorough evaluation first. We'll be honest about prognosis and create a customized plan. Success depends on the dog's history, severity, and your commitment to following through at home.
Board and train is an immersive dog training program where your dog stays at our Lewisville facility and receives intensive daily training from professional trainers.
Here's how it works:
1. Drop-off: Your dog comes to our facility
2. Training: Multiple sessions daily with our veteran trainers
3. Daily updates: We send videos and photos so you see progress
4. Owner transfer: We teach YOU how to maintain everything
5. Graduation: Your dog goes home transformed
Programs available:
• 2-Week Basic Board & Train: $2,000
• 2-Week Advanced (off-leash): $2,800
• 4-Week Elite Program: $5,400
The best part? Your dog returns home with reliable off-leash obedience, and YOU get trained too. We include owner transfer sessions so the training sticks for life.

Cities we serve: Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Carrollton, Lewisville, Irving, Arlington, Garland, Mesquite, Flower Mound, Coppell, Grapevine, Southlake, and 20+ more DFW communities.
In-home training is ideal for:
• Addressing behaviors in your dog's actual environment
• Door manners and guest greeting
• Household rules and boundaries
• Dogs with separation anxiety
• Owners who prefer one-on-one attention
We serve all of Dallas County, Collin County, Denton County, and Tarrant County. Don't see your city? Call us—we probably cover it!
Puppies can start training as early as 8 weeks old! In fact, early training is ideal because puppies are most receptive to learning during their critical socialization period (8-16 weeks).
Starting early helps:
• Prevent bad habits from forming
• Build confidence and social skills
• Establish clear communication from day one
• Create a foundation for advanced training later
Our puppy programs cover: Potty training, crate training, bite inhibition, leash manners, basic commands, and socialization guidance.
🎁 FREE Puppy Starter Session: For puppies under 4 months, we offer a free 1-hour training session + premium slip lead ($135 value). Claim yours today!
The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for rescue dogs adjusting to a new home:
• First 3 Days: Your dog may be overwhelmed, shut down, or not eating normally. They're decompressing from the shelter/rescue environment.
• First 3 Weeks: Your dog starts learning your routine, testing boundaries, and showing more personality. Some behavioral issues may emerge.
• First 3 Months: Your dog finally feels secure and their true personality emerges. They understand they're home.
Pro tip: Professional training can significantly accelerate this adjustment period. Clear communication and structure help rescue dogs feel secure faster—often cutting the 3-month timeline in half.
Yes—we stand behind our training 100%. Every dog graduates with reliable off-leash obedience, or we keep training until they do. No excuses, no exceptions.
Our guarantee includes:
• Specific commands and behaviors covered in your program
• Lifetime support on qualifying programs
• Free follow-up guidance whenever you need it
• Refresher sessions if needed
Our 540+ five-star Google reviews with a 4.9 rating speak to our commitment to results. We've built our reputation on transformations, not promises.
The fine print? Our guarantee requires that you follow through with the training protocols at home. We train your dog AND teach you—but the magic only lasts if you maintain it.
We train ALL breeds, sizes, and ages. Since 2016, we've worked with every breed imaginable:
• Popular breeds: Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds
• Powerful breeds: Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Cane Corsos, Belgian Malinois
• Small breeds: Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Dachshunds
• Giant breeds: Great Danes, Mastiffs, Saint Bernards
• Rescues & mixed breeds: Any background, any history
Our methods work for any breed because we focus on clear communication that every dog can understand.
Breed-specific expertise: Check out our Goldendoodle Training Guide and other breed resources!
Off-leash training teaches your dog to obey commands reliably without being physically attached to a leash. This means your dog will:
• Heel beside you without pulling
• Come when called—every single time
• Stay in place until released
• Ignore distractions—squirrels, other dogs, people
All of this happens WITHOUT a leash for control. You gain the freedom to enjoy hiking at Cedar Ridge Preserve, off-leash areas at White Rock Lake, outdoor patios in Bishop Arts, and travel—with total confidence.
This is our specialty. It's literally in our name! Every Off Leash K9 Training program is designed to achieve reliable off-leash obedience—the kind of control you see in military and police K9s.

Off Leash K9 Training of Dallas & Ft. Worth
We Service the Entire Dallas Metroplex
We have been the DFW’s #1 choice for Dog Training services for years! We train your dog to be a better family member and make your life A LOT easier. Do you want to be able to take your dog to the dog park? Outdoor Restaurants? Outdoor Festivals? Does the thought of this just make you break out into a cold sweat? Does your dog even listen to you if you don’t have treats? We can help! We teach dogs how to behave in public so they don’t embarrass their owners.
What We Do: We train regular household dogs to have the same level of obedience as dogs the military and law enforcement. You have seen dogs that can walk with their owners down the street and be well behaved in stores, outdoor seating restaurants, and public places. How many times have you said to yourself, “I wish my dog could behave in public like this?
How We Do It: We conduct personalized one-on-one private obedience lessons with owners and dogs, utilizing marker, praise and e-collar obedience training. The e-collars that we use are made directly for Off Leash K9 locations and are NOT shock collars. We additionally do dog behavior consultations and teach owners to understand why the dog is doing what she does. We also provide the owners with the tools to remediate the unwanted behaviors and bring the dog back into becoming the productive member of the family that he was always meant to be.
We provide an obedient, off-leash, and distraction-proof pup at the end of our program! Your dog will be trained to have the same level of obedience as most police/military working dogs.
Our training will give you the best opportunity to be successful and lead a very happy and rewarding life with your dog. The most amazing part is to watch your confidence grow from a person who has been stressed out the entire time they have had their dog, to the stress-free dog owner you’ve always dreamt of. We can take the guilt or embarrassment your dog may be causing and turn that into pride and happiness.
