Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program considered "Purely Positive "?

“Purely Positive” dog training is a training method that focuses solely on positive reinforcement and rewards, without any use of punishment or correction. We prefer to use “Positive Reinforcement,” as we reinforce good behavior with praise, treats, or other positive stimuli. However, unlike “Purely Positive” training, we will address dangerous or bad behavior if necessary. If your dog likes to chase cars on busy streets, we certainly don’t want to ignore that behavior.

What's the difference between Clicker & Marker Training?

Clicker training and marker training are both forms of positive reinforcement training. Still, they differ in the specific type of “marker” used to communicate to the dog that it has performed the desired behavior. A “marker” can be a verbal cue like a “YES!” Clicker training is just what it sounds like: a clicker marks the exact moment a dog performs the desired behavior. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preference and the dog’s specific needs.

Who is this program designed for ?

This program is for any dog owner who is ready to begin their pup’s dog training journey with an early introduction to basic obedience commands. It is also perfect for dog owners who aren’t yet comfortable with e-collar training or other traditional balanced dog training methods.

What rewards are used in positive reinforcement training?

We use different training rewards for different dogs. Treats are the most commonly used reward in positive reinforcement training as they are highly motivating for most pups. But we may also use clickers, toys, verbal praise, playtime, etc.

Is there an age requirement or breed restriction?

Although there is no specific age requirement, if you have a new puppy, you should call us first so we can decide together the best time to get your puppy started.

Our trainer at Off Leash K9 is amazing!!! She trained both of my Shepherds and didn’t skip a beat! My dogs went from jumping on people, a hassle to take for a walk and having no manners at all to being complete angels! I can now trust my girls to be off leash and enjoy life with my family, HASSLE FREE! I would recommend this company to anyone! Best experience ever!!

Our dog Copper was trained at Off Leash. When he went there he was a typical hyper puppy who didn’t listen very well and would jump, run and nip. It wasn’t fun to take him places because it was so much work! Now we can take copper to the beach and to play outside with us and trust that he won’t get hurt or info a dangerous situation. He’s so much more mellow and listens so well ! We highly recommend Off Leash K9 !

Zuzu just got back from 2: weeks of training with our trainer. Zuzu is decidedly a new dog! I met with her today to go over what Zuzu learned, and the change in her was unbelievable, yet also gratifying! I knew almost immediately that I had made the right choice in having our trainer work with her. They formed quite a bond!! The best part was the communication that our trainer gave me daily on Zuzu’s progress. Thank you so much!!!!!

Our Jake, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, had confidence issues. Was a bit pushy, and liked to chase the kids. We’ve had him back just about 24 hours and his mannerisms are amazing. We chose to put Jake in the board and train class. Our trainer has transformed him into the dog we knew he could be.
