Off leash K9 Training is an off-leash dog training business teaching 100% obedience to dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. We specialize in private lessons, dog behavior consultations, and teaching owners to understand why their dogs do the things they do in order to create a strong bond between the owner and dog. We thrive off of seeing the joy in both the dog's and the owner's faces when they ha

ve mastered a new command without the restriction of a leash. By the end of our training, your dog will be trained to have the same level of obedience as most police/military working dogs. But don't worry, we also thrive on making sure their individual, wonderful personalities continue to shine through!

Owning a dog can bring immense joy, but it’s essential to budget wisely. 💵 Initial costs like adoption fees or purchase prices vary widely, while recurring expenses such as food, grooming, veterinary care, and toys add up. On average, expect to spend $1,000 to $2,000 annually for a small to medium-sized dog, and more for larger breeds or special needs. Planning ahead ensures a happy, healthy pup and a financially sound experience. 🐾

Hey paw-some dog parents! 🐶✨ Today, let’s dive into the fascinating world of “thresholds” – a crucial aspect of your fur baby’s behavior that can greatly impact their training journey. 🎓

🌟 What are Thresholds?
In dog training, a threshold refers to the point at which your pup transitions from a calm state to an excited or anxious one. It’s that invisible line where their comfort level can be either maintained or compromised. Recognizing and respecting these thresholds is fundamental to fostering a positive training experience.

🔍 Why Understanding Thresholds Matters:

1. Optimal Learning Environment: Dogs learn best when they are calm and focused. Crossing their threshold into excitement or fear can hinder the learning process.
2. Avoiding Stress and Anxiety: Pushing a dog beyond their comfort zone can lead to stress and anxiety, potentially resulting in undesirable behaviors or setbacks in training.
3. Building Trust: Understanding and respecting your dog’s thresholds builds trust. It shows them that you’re attuned to their needs, creating a stronger bond between you and your furry friend.

🤝 Tips for Managing Thresholds:
1. 🌟 Gradual Exposure: Introduce new environments, people, or stimuli gradually, allowing your dog to adjust at their own pace.
2. 🍖 Positive Reinforcement: Reward calm behavior to reinforce positive associations with various situations.
3. 🗣️ Communication: Pay attention to your dog’s signals and adjust your training approach accordingly. Clear communication is key.

Remember, every dog is unique, and their thresholds can vary. 🌈 By respecting and understanding these boundaries, you’re paving the way for a successful and enjoyable training journey with your furry companion. 🐕❤️

🐶 Bubba is here for our 3 week Behavioral Board & Train program!

He is a SWEETHEART! ❤️ But he does have some mannerisms that we need to work on to help him live his best life.

🔸 Bubba cannot be trusted off leash, even one-on-one with his owners. He loves to run and turns catching him into a game.

🔸 He is STRONG 💪 and quite the puller on walks. His parents can’t enjoy taking him places because he just chokes himself out with his collar the whole time!

🔸 He is fearful of strangers, fearful of dogs, and without obedience, his parents don’t quite know how to comfortably take him places and keep everyone safe/happy.

🔸 Riding in the car is the enemy! Pacing, whining, panting… His owners want to take him everywhere and bring him on tons of adventures, but he is so anxious in the car that they don’t want to put that kind of stress on him.

I cannot wait 😍 to spend the next 3 weeks helping him reach his full potential 🙌 and being a part of his journey to live the best life possible! 💙

❗️Our 3 Week Behavioral Board & Train is a newer program that we started offering to help special cases like Bubba who need more than just your typical obedience options. If you think this type of program could benefit your dog, let’s set up a consultation and figure out how we can help❗️
