The Fastest-Growing Town We Serve
Newberry grew 48.3 percent between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, from 4,950 residents to 7,342, and it has not slowed down: in April 2026 the city reported more than 1,700 newly approved homes across developments like Sandia West and Newberry Ridge near Champions Park, in a town whose record for houses built in a single year is 220. That is a lot of new fences and new puppies on the same block.
The town began as a phosphate camp in the 1880s and became a railroad stop in 1893 when the line was extended south from High Springs; the post office opened as Newton in March 1894 and took the name Newberry that August. Today it anchors the southwest corner of Alachua County, about 54.6 square miles running to the Gilchrist County line, with State Road 26, Newberry Road, carrying most of the town to work in Gainesville every morning past Tioga and Jonesville.
Ballpark Manners: Why Newberry Dogs Need a Rock-Solid Place Command
Newberry is a sports town, and the dogs come along. Champions Park, which opened as Nations Park in 2013 and was renamed the next spring, is a 16-field lighted baseball and softball complex on 40 donated acres that draws more than 30,000 visitors a year for tournaments. The park bills itself as pet friendly to well-mannered animals, on a leash at all times. The city counts more than 80 acres of parkland in total, 23 ballfields, five playgrounds, a 5K walking trail, and the Easton Newberry Sports Complex, an archery center the U.S. Olympic Committee chose as a Community Olympic Development Program.
A tournament weekend is the hardest test a family dog faces: bleachers, foul balls, coolers, strollers, forty other dogs. The commands that matter there are the ones the 2 Week Board & Train guarantees: Place with Extended Place, so your dog stays on a blanket through nine innings; Off, so it does not jump on the kid with the hot dog; Down from Distance; and Full Off-Leash Recall for the moment a gate is left open. The Community K9 version of that program is proofed at exactly these mid-level distractions: parks, baseball games, trails, neighborhoods, and big box stores.
Which Program Fits a Newberry Family's Calendar
There is no building to drive to, so the real question for a Newberry family is where training fits in the week:
-
Weekly lessons on the Gainesville side
$650 · $1,000 · $400Four private one-hour lessons make up Basic Obedience; eight make up Basic & Advanced; the $400 Advanced Obedience Lessons come after Basic. Lessons meet at public locations around Gainesville, for many Newberry owners a stop on the way home. Waterproof e-collar and leash included; dogs five months and up.
-
Lessons at your Newberry home
$825 · $1,350In-Home Basic Obedience and In-Home Basic & Advanced move the identical curriculum onto your own street, useful when a new subdivision's sidewalks are where the pulling happens. In-home lessons are available across the Gainesville area; confirm your address when you call. The site prints no radius, and neither do we.
-
Two weeks away, picked up at your door
$2,900The 2 Week Board & Train removes every drive from your calendar: a trainer collects the dog at any address within about an hour of Gainesville, and Newberry sits roughly 34 minutes out. Your dog boards with a Pro Trainer, learns 7 guaranteed commands including off-leash heeling, and comes home with a two-hour handoff and a Free Refresher for Life.*
* Lifetime refresher/support applies to the obedience commands included in your package. It is impossible to guarantee complete fixes of major behavioral issues such as dog aggression or people aggression; we can give you control and help you manage them. Ask us for details.

Newberry Dog Training FAQs
Do you pick up in Newberry for board and train?
Yes. Newberry is roughly a 34-minute drive, comfortably inside the about-one-hour radius Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville covers for board & train pickup. The $2,900 2 Week Board & Train and the $850 / $1,700 puppy board & trains all include it.
Is there a travel fee for Newberry?
None is listed; ask when you call. The Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville price list is one list for every town, with no in-home radius printed, so one phone call settles what applies to your Newberry address before you book.
Can my dog come to Champions Park after training?
Champions Park describes itself as pet friendly to well-mannered animals on a leash at all times, so the goal is a dog that holds a place through a full game and walks on a loose leash through the crowd. Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville proofs the Community K9 board & train at parks and baseball games for exactly that reason.
My Newberry puppy is under five months. What can you do now?
Two things. The $100 Puppy Training Consultation is one one-hour session covering Come, Down, Sit, Leave It, and a crate-training overview for pups with most of their vaccinations. The $400 AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package is six private 30-minute positive-reinforcement classes over six weeks; e-collar obedience starts at five months.
What Owners Say
“We now have a dog that we can enjoy even more because we can take him anywhere. We receive comments all the time on how well behaved he is and no one believes us when he says he is still only a puppy.”
“I just cannot say enough good things about the two-week board and train program!! She's still our happy, friendly puppy, she just listens now! It's definitely worth the money! I feel like we can enjoy our pup SO much more now that she listens and I have control of her wild behavior!”
