Tioga in Two Minutes
Tioga is a mixed-use development in unincorporated Alachua County, about three miles west of Gainesville along State Road 26, just east of where the road overlaps County Road 241. It is a neighborhood, not a municipality — no city hall, no census count. Its heart is Tioga Town Center, opened in 2004, which describes itself as a walkable, friendly town center with restaurants, boutiques, a gym, medical offices and apartments, plus free movie nights and concerts on the square.
Next door to the west is Jonesville, an unincorporated stretch of Newberry Road whose county park has baseball fields, a mile-long track, disc golf, tennis and soccer fields. Tioga is roughly 11 miles and about 20 minutes from downtown Gainesville — the shortest trip of any town on our service areas page.
Why Tioga Is an In-Home Town
For most Tioga households the best fit is In-Home Basic Obedience at $825: our price list describes it as the same Basic Obedience training performed in the comfort of your home and neighborhood: the Come, Sit and Extended Sit, Down and Extended Down, Place and Extended Place, Break, Heel and Off commands, with the e-collar and training leash included and a minimum age of five months.
In a walkable neighborhood the “extended” commands are the ones that matter: your dog holds a sit, down or place until you say “break,” whatever walks past. In-Home Basic & Advanced is $1,350 and adds four advanced lessons to the same curriculum.
One honest note: we do not publish a fixed in-home radius. In-home lessons are available across the Gainesville area; confirm your address when you call. And if you are not completely amazed and satisfied in the first lesson, the lesson is free.*
Two Other Ways to Train a Tioga Dog
In-home is the default here, not the only option:
- Private lessons at a public location. Basic Obedience Lessons are $650 for four private one-hour lessons, and Basic & Advanced Training is $1,000 for eight. Both include a waterproof e-collar with a half-mile range and a training leash. Lessons meet at public locations around Gainesville, set with you when you book; busy sidewalks like Tioga Town Center are exactly the kind of place they are built around. After Basic, Advanced Obedience Lessons are $400.
- The 2 Week Board & Train with home pickup. $2,900. Tioga is about 20 minutes from Gainesville, well inside the “within about an hour” pickup window, so your dog leaves from your driveway and comes back to it. Choose Community K9 (mid-level distractions: parks, trails, neighborhoods, big box stores; seven guaranteed commands including off-leash heeling and full off-leash recall) or Urban K9 (high-level distractions; six guaranteed commands with on-leash heeling). Your dog boards with a Pro Trainer, you get a two-hour handoff session, and a Free Refresher for Life.*
Puppies, Reactive Dogs and Therapy Prep in Tioga
Puppies under five months start with the $100 Puppy Training Consultation (one hour: Come, Down, Sit, Leave it, crate-training overview). The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package is $400 for six private 30-minute positive-reinforcement classes over six weeks. Puppy board & train is $850 for one week or $1,700 for two, for pups eight weeks to five months.
Dog-reactive dogs fit the 8-week Aggressive Dog Training program at $1,100: seven private lessons plus an optional eighth lesson that can be delivered in your Tioga home. Human aggression and bite cases require an evaluation and are handled by the Aggression / Anxiety Board & Train at $3,500, with the same home pickup.
Therapy Dog Preparation is $1,000 for eight lessons; on completion we can evaluate and certify you and your dog through Therapy Pets Unlimited.
* 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.

Tioga Dog Training FAQs
Does Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville offer in-home dog training in Tioga?
Yes. In-Home Basic Obedience is $825 and In-Home Basic & Advanced is $1,350, taught in your home and neighborhood. Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville does not publish a fixed in-home radius; in-home lessons are available across the Gainesville area, so confirm your Tioga address when you call (904) 580-6559.
Where do private lessons meet for Tioga dogs?
At public locations around Gainesville, set with you when you book. Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville generally avoids training lesson packages inside the house: a dog that listens in a familiar room has learned the room, not the command. Basic Obedience Lessons are $650 for four private one-hour lessons.
Is Tioga inside the board and train pickup area?
Yes. Tioga is roughly 11 miles and about 20 minutes from downtown Gainesville, and board & train pickup covers homes within about an hour of Gainesville. The 2 Week Board & Train is $2,900, includes the e-collar and a two-hour handoff session, and your dog is picked up and returned at your Tioga home.
Can a Tioga puppy start before five months old?
Yes. Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville starts puppies under five months with a $100 one-hour consultation or the $400 AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package, both positive-reinforcement based. Puppy board & train is $850 for one week or $1,700 for two. E-collar obedience begins at five months.
Will the e-collar hold up on Tioga’s busy sidewalks?
The remote keeps control of your dog for up to 400 yards, far beyond any sidewalk or park distance. At the first meeting the trainer puts the e-collar on your own arm so you feel how mild it is, and your dog will not always need to wear it indoors; Off Leash K9 Training Gainesville recommends it outside off-leash, like an invisible leash.
