Where Your Dog Stays — and How Pickup Works
Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville is a service-area business: your dog boards with a Pro Trainer, not in a kennel, and we pick your dog up at your home as long as you are within about an hour of Gainesville.
With no storefront to train inside, every day of the program happens where the distractions actually are — the parks, trails, and stores of Alachua County for a Community K9 dog, or the crowds and shopping centers an Urban K9 dog will have to work through. Your dog learns to listen in the kinds of places it will need to listen for the rest of its life.
Board & train is the right call when you want the fastest route to a reliable off-leash dog, or when weekly lessons will not fit your schedule. If you would rather be hands-on for every step, our private obedience lessons in Gainesville start at $650 for four sessions.
What’s Included in Every Two-Week Board & Train
Every $2,900 board & train at Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville includes the same core package, whichever distraction level you choose:
- Two weeks of immersive training — your dog boards with a Pro Trainer and works every day.
- Guaranteed commands — seven on Community K9, six on Urban K9, always including Full Off-Leash Recall.*
- Greeting, door, and meal manners plus the e-collar your dog trained on.
- A two-hour one-on-one handoff session after completion, detailing everything your dog does and how to properly handle it.

You leave giving the same commands, the same way, with the e-collar your dog already understands.
From there, the program is backed by a Free Refresher for Life.* If a command gets rusty six months or six years from now, you call us.

* 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.
