Off Leash K9 Training Georgia specializes in 100% off-leash obedience under heavy, real-world distractions. Traditional pet store classes usually operate in enclosed, quiet rooms with leashes and high-value treats that fail when a dog encounters squirrels, other dogs, or traffic.

We use the same communication techniques utilized by military and law enforcement working dogs, adapted for household family pets. Our system ensures your dog listens on the very first command, regardless of the environment or whether a leash is attached.

No, modern electronic collars do not hurt dogs when used correctly. We do not use old-fashioned “shock collars.” Instead, we use modern digital remote trainers that deliver a subtle, harmless electronic stimulation identical to a human physical therapy TENS unit.

The sensation feels like a gentle tap on the shoulder rather than a shock. It acts as an invisible, non-restrictive leash that allows crystal-clear communication from hundreds of yards away. Before using an e-collar, we teach your dog the meaning of every command with fairness and consistency.

We offer both force-free methods and remote e-collar training. We understand that every dog and pet parent has different preferences and comfort levels. From puppy foundations to adult obedience, our trainers tailor their approach to what best suits your dog’s temperament and your training goals.

Yes, we successfully train over 98% of all dogs to achieve reliable off-leash obedience, regardless of breed, size, shape, or age.

Whether you have a 5-pound Chihuahua, an active Goldendoodle, a high-drive Belgian Malinois, or a rescue mix with an unknown past, our system creates clear communication and builds mutual respect between handler and canine.

During our 14-day Board and Train program, your dog lives with and is trained daily by a certified professional trainer.

Throughout the two weeks, your dog masters core off-leash commands in high-distraction environments:

• Heel: Walking politely beside you off-leash without pulling or lagging, auto-sitting when you stop.
• Sit & Extended Sit: Remaining in a seated position until released, even through heavy distractions.
• Down & Extended Down: Holding a down position at a distance until released.
• Place: Going to and remaining on an assigned bed or mat until given a release cue.
• Recall (Come): Returning to you immediately from up to 100 yards away, off-leash.
• Off & Quiet: Stopping nuisance jumping, counter surfing, and excessive barking.

At pick-up, we provide an extensive one-on-one turnover lesson teaching you how to maintain and reinforce everything your dog learned.

Dogs stay in safe, climate-controlled, secure facilities under 24/7 supervision. Cleanliness, health, and comfort are our top priorities. Throughout the program, your trainer provides regular video and photo updates so you can watch your dog’s daily progress and transformations in real time.

Absolutely. Your dog will not forget you or love you any less. In fact, training strengthens your bond. Dogs feel more secure and less anxious when they understand clear rules and boundaries. When you reunite at turnover, your dog will be thrilled to see you and excited to demonstrate their new skills.

Yes, we specialize in dog and human reactivity, resource guarding, and aggression modification. Many veterinary clinics and shelters throughout Georgia refer their most difficult behavioral cases to us after other trainers have turned them away.

We offer a dedicated Aggressive Dog Package consisting of 8 private lessons designed specifically to eliminate fear-based aggression, barrier frustration, and leash reactivity in a controlled, safe manner.

Yes. Our training does not rely exclusively on food treats or physical force. When dogs only listen for treats, their obedience disappears when food is absent or when a distraction (like a deer or another dog) is more exciting than a snack. Our system builds intrinsic motivation, clear communication, and accountability so your dog obeys out of focus and respect, not bribery.

Puppies can begin our Puppy Consultation & Foundation Program under 5 months of age. For our full 2-Week Board and Train or adult obedience packages, dogs typically need to be at least 5 months old and current on core vaccinations (including Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella).
