We use modern e-collars as communication tools, not punishment devices. They provide gentle stimulation similar to a TENS therapy unit at levels most humans cannot feel. E-collars let us communicate with your dog from any distance for reliable off-leash control. Many clients also achieve great results with leash methods only.

Our facility is at 101 S Railroad St Suite 7, Lewisville, TX 75057 in Denton County. Easily accessible from I-35E and I-635. We also provide mobile in-home training throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Tours by appointment — call (972) 372-9225 to schedule.

Most dogs show significant improvement in 2-4 weeks with our intensive methods. Board and train delivers 50+ training sessions in 2 weeks versus 8 sessions over 2 months with weekly classes. Complex behavioral cases may need our 3-Week Aggression or 4-Week Elite program. Every dog learns at their own pace.

Off Leash K9 DFW specializes in aggressive dog behavior modification. We have transformed hundreds of aggressive dogs since 2013, including cases other trainers refused. Our USMC and USAF veteran K9 handlers address the root cause — fear, resource guarding, or reactivity — not just the symptoms. Evaluation required.

Board and train means your dog lives at our Lewisville facility receiving intensive daily training from professional trainers. Programs run 1-4 weeks ($850-$5,800). Daily video updates show progress. Programs include comprehensive owner transfer sessions and lifetime support. Ideal for busy families wanting fast results.

Yes, our trainers come to your home anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth. In-home training addresses behaviors in your dog's actual environment: door manners, guest greetings, household rules, and separation anxiety. We serve Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties throughout the DFW Metroplex.

Puppies can start training at 8 weeks old. The critical socialization window is 8-16 weeks — starting early prevents bad habits. Our Puppy Training Consultation ($100) gives your new pup a foundation. The 1-Week Puppy Board & Train ($850) is ideal for 8 weeks to 4 months. Call (972) 372-9225.

The 3-3-3 rule guides rescue dog adjustment: 3 days decompressing, 3 weeks learning routines, 3 months feeling truly at home. Professional training can cut this timeline in half by providing structure and clear communication that helps rescue dogs feel secure faster. Our trainer Brittany specializes in rescue rehab.

Every dog graduates with reliable off-leash obedience or we keep training until they do. Our guarantee requires that you follow through with protocols at home. We train your dog AND teach you. Our 557 five-star Google reviews and 4.9 rating speak to our commitment to results.

All breeds, sizes, and ages. Since 2013 we have worked with every breed in Dallas-Fort Worth: German Shepherds, Goldendoodles, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Cane Corsos, Belgian Malinois, Labs, French Bulldogs, Great Danes, Chihuahuas, and all rescues and mixes. Trainer Jacob specializes in Malinois and high-drive working breeds.

Off-leash training teaches your dog to obey commands without a physical leash connection. Your dog heels beside you, comes when called every time, stays in place, and ignores distractions — all without a leash. This is our specialty and literally in our name. Our Elite 4-Week program guarantees off-leash reliability.

Look for verified Google reviews (not just testimonials), video proof of results, transparent pricing, professional certifications (AKC, IACP), a training guarantee, and a free consultation. Avoid trainers who will not explain methods or show real results. OLK9 DFW offers all of these. Call (972) 372-9225.
