Our Puppy Training Options
Off Leash K9 Training Austin and Central Texas publishes two puppy-specific options: a Puppy Training Consultation for dogs under five months and a self-paced Online Puppy Training Course.
Puppy Training Consultation
The Puppy Training Consultation is intended for dogs under five months. The published program introduces basic obedience, house training, crate training, and socialization.
The plans and pricing page also states that the team can help owners reduce indoor accidents, teach a puppy to signal when it needs to go outside, and answer questions about the puppy’s training.
Young puppies need frequent opportunities to eliminate. UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine recommends approximately eight to ten elimination breaks per day for puppies between 6 and 14 weeks, with breaks following eating, drinking, sleeping, and play. Your veterinarian can provide guidance based on your puppy’s age and health.
The website does not publish the consultation’s exact duration, location, lesson sequence, or individual commands. Call the training team to confirm the current format, pricing, scheduling, and what you should prepare before the consultation.
Online Puppy Training Course
For owners who want to start working with their puppy at home, the Online Puppy Training Course provides 24 video modules, eight worksheets, and approximately three hours of training content.
Published course topics include:
- Potty training
- Crate training
- Puppy confidence
- Basic commands using a marker and reward
- Leadership and structure
- Common puppy problems
Marker training uses a clear signal, such as a word or click, to identify a desired behavior before providing a reward. This gives owners a consistent way to communicate with their puppies during training.
This is a self-paced online course rather than an in-person Austin training service. The purchase link on the pricing page opens an affiliated Off Leash K9 Training website. Owners can use the course at home or call the Austin and Central Texas team to discuss whether the online course, Puppy Training Consultation, or another published option fits their goals.
Future Training Options
Puppy training is a starting point. Once your puppy is old enough for the company’s other training methods, the team can help you compare the available programs. The FAQ page states that e-collar training generally does not begin before a dog is at least five months old.
In-Home Basic Obedience
In-Home Basic Obedience Training includes four private lessons completed at the owner’s home.
The published curriculum includes:
- Come
- Sit and extended sit
- Place and extended place
- Heel or loose-leash walking
- Down and extended down
- Off
The program includes an e-collar and training leash.
In-Home Basic and Advanced Obedience
In-Home Basic and Advanced Obedience includes eight private lessons. The first four cover the Basic Obedience curriculum, while the final four introduce advanced obedience.
Published advanced skills include extended-distance obedience, heel, watch, through, front, stand, and additional commands.
Two-Week Board and Train
Dogs that may benefit from immersive training can also be considered for the 2 Week Board and Train.
The published program includes:
- Two weeks of immersive training
- Boarding with a professional trainer
- Six core commands
- Full off-leash recall
- Training around multiple distractions and environments
- Greeting, door, and meal manners
- An e-collar and training leash
- A two-hour owner handoff session
The pricing page also lists lifetime refreshers. Confirm current eligibility, scheduling, and refresher terms with the training team.
Specialized Programs
The Aggressive Dog Training program is an eight-lesson in-home program for dogs displaying aggression or reactivity around other dogs. The company states that complete correction of major dog or people aggression cannot be guaranteed.
Owners interested in therapy work can ask about the In-Home Therapy Dog Preparation program. This eight-lesson program prepares dogs and handlers for therapy-dog testing and certification. Successful completion does not automatically guarantee certification.
Why Start Puppy Training Early?
Austin gives puppies plenty to notice, including busy sidewalks, other dogs, unfamiliar sounds, people, and changing environments. Early routines and carefully managed exposure can help a puppy become more comfortable with everyday experiences.
The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior supports safe socialization during puppyhood with appropriate vaccination and disease-prevention precautions. Ask your veterinarian which activities are appropriate for your puppy’s age, health, and vaccination status.
