Off-Leash Training

This program is for owners with dogs over one year old who have successfully completed the basic training program and now want a fully off-leash trained dog. Dogs stay at the Kennel and are trained multiple times each day for 4-6 weeks, depending on how quickly they progress. Owners come out to the Kennel 1-2 times each week during this period and work with the trainers and their own dogs. This way owners are trained and they also have the opportunity to observe the progress their dogs are making as the training progresses. When owners are comfortable and feel confident that they are in control, that's when it's time to take dogs home. Weekly classes are encouraged and included for life. Arlington Humane Society Dog Park annual membership included.

Before entering the advanced program dogs must demonstrate their ability to handle this level of training. We will not accept any dog into the advanced program unless we feel he/she has mastered the basic training and has the maturity and intelligence necessary to handle off-leash training. Owners will receive an official letter from the Kennel certifying training proficiency and non-aggression for home owners insurance purposes. Many insurance companies now require this for certain breeds of dogs.
