Why Taylor Dog Owners Choose Off Leash K9 Training Austin and Central Texas

Client Perspective

Matt and Jourdan first became involved with Off Leash K9 Training as clients when they sought professional training for their rambunctious puppy. After completing a basic obedience package, Matt became interested in professional dog training, and Jourdan later joined him in growing their work with the organization. They eventually expanded into Texas through Off Leash K9 Training Austin and Central Texas. Their experience as former clients gives them firsthand insight into the dog owner's side of the training process.

The team offers four-lesson and eight-lesson in-home obedience training, the Two-Week Board and Train, Aggressive Dog Training, Therapy Dog Preparation, Puppy Training Consultation, and the Online Puppy Training Course. These formats cover foundational and advanced obedience, puppy guidance, therapy-dog preparation, and specialized training for dog-directed aggression or reactivity.

Published Program Details

The Plans and Pricing page provides specific information for each published program. Depending on the selected option, these details may include lesson count, program duration, commands, included equipment, training format, Board and Train handoff information, puppy-course content, or behavioral focus.

Owner Education and Evidence

Basic Obedience In-Home Training

Basic Obedience In-Home Training includes four private in-home lessons with direct owner participation. Commands covered include come, sit, extended sit, place, extended place, heel or loose-leash walking, down, extended down, and off. An e-collar and training leash are included.

This program fits dog owners seeking foundational obedience, better leash behavior, and stronger household manners while participating directly in the training process.

Basic and Advanced In-Home Training

Basic and Advanced In-Home Training includes eight private in-home lessons. The first four cover the Basic Obedience curriculum. The final four introduce advanced commands including heel, watch, through, front, stand, and extended-distance obedience. An e-collar and training leash are included.

This option suits owners seeking a broader command set and extended-distance obedience beyond the four-lesson Basic Obedience curriculum. Individual progress can vary by dog and continued owner practice.

Two-Week Board and Train

The Two-Week Board and Train provides two weeks of immersive training while the dog boards with a professional trainer. Published skills include come and recall, sit and extended sit, place and extended place, heel with on-leash and off-leash walking, down and extended down, off, full off-leash recall, work around multiple distractions and environments, and greeting, door, and meal manners.

The program also includes socialization with dogs and people, an e-collar, a training leash, and a two-hour owner handoff. The current Plans and Pricing page lists lifetime refreshers; owners should confirm current terms.

Owners should continue using the commands and handling guidance after the program. The two-hour handoff explains what the dog learned and how to handle the dog properly, and continued practice remains important after the dog returns home.

Aggressive Dog Training

Aggressive Dog Training includes eight private in-home lessons designed for dogs displaying aggression or reactivity around other dogs. The program includes the Basic Obedience curriculum plus additional lessons working with the owner and dog around other dogs in different scenarios. Its published focus includes training skills, tools, desensitization, and improved owner control.

Results depend on the individual dog, behavioral history, owner participation, and continued practice. The website specifically notes that complete fixes for major aggression issues cannot be guaranteed.

Therapy Dog Preparation

Therapy Dog Preparation includes eight in-home lessons designed to prepare the dog and handler for therapy dog testing and certification. Upon successful completion of the program, the team states that it can evaluate and certify qualifying dogs and handlers through Therapy Pets Unlimited.

Enrollment does not itself constitute certification. This program should not be described as service dog training, emotional support animal registration, or psychiatric service dog certification.

Dog Behavior Problems These Programs Can Help Address

Published programs address several common obedience, manners, puppy-training, and dog-directed reactivity concerns. The appropriate program depends on the specific behavior and the dog’s training history.

Leash Pulling and Difficult Walks

Jumping and Excitable Greetings

The off command, place, greeting manners, and door manners can be used when working on jumping and overly excited greetings. The exact skills included depend on the selected program.

Ignoring Commands Around Distractions

Extended sit, down, and place build duration, while applicable programs also include distraction work and extended-distance obedience. The Two-Week Board and Train specifically includes work around multiple distractions and multiple environments.

The come command is included in Basic Obedience and carries into the Basic and Advanced curriculum. The Two-Week Board and Train specifically lists full off-leash recall. Continued owner handling and practice remain important after training.

Dog-Directed Reactivity

Aggressive Dog Training is published for dogs displaying aggression or reactivity around other dogs. It combines Basic Obedience with additional work around other dogs in different scenarios and includes desensitization and owner-control skills. Complete fixes for major behavioral issues are not guaranteed.
