Off Leash K9 Training of Delaware
Off Leash K9 Training Southern Delaware is part of the highest-rated dog training business in the United States! With over 130 locations nationwide, we are the fastest growing dog training company in the world. We’re proud to bring it to the Dover & Southern Delaware areas! We offer several different packages to allow clients to decide what program best fits their lifestyle.
We specialize in private lessons, dog behavior consultations, and teaching dog owners to understand why their dogs do the things they do. This training helps create a strong bond between the owner and dog – and without the restriction of a leash. We believe that 98% of all dogs can achieve this high level of obedience: regardless of breed, size, shape, or age!
Our training technique works for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes! The Off Leash K9 Training system is a proven system that changes both owners’ and canines’ lives for the better. Our company includes handlers with experience and training ranging from different branches in the military to rescue and shelter volunteers and even former veterinarian technicians.
We guarantee a 100% obedient, 100% off-leash, and 100% 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.
Working primarily with household pets, we focus on helping owners and their dogs achieve an exceptional level of obedience—allowing you to confidently take your dog anywhere, hassle-free. One of our greatest joys is watching dogs who have spent their entire lives on a leash experience true freedom, becoming 100% off-leash and obedient. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the excitement on both the dog’s and the owner’s faces when they master a new command without the limits of a leash.
Buying a puppy for your home can lead to many years of laughter and affection. In fact, many would consider a family dog like their own child. However, like any child, most dogs require almost constant supervision. And once you take your eyes off of them for a single moment, there is no telling what they may do, or what may happen to them.
Any responsible dog owner will do their best to keep them from harm, but what can you do when you cannot always be around to watch them all day? Just as you would with a child, you would want to teach them how to be more independent, more obedient, and, most importantly, safer when you are and aren’t home watching them.
You may not be able to ship your dog off-boarding school, but you can take them to one of the highest-rated dog training companies in the nation. Off Leash K9 Training of Southern Delaware helps dogs become their best – learning to leave behind bad behavior and replace it with the obedience that you need from them. In a mater of weeks, you will never again have to worry about leaving them alone, or leaving them around others.

Perfect for those who want well-behaved pets that listen in any situation.
