Professional Dog Training in Murrieta, CA
Expert Dog Training Services for Real-World Obedience
Your dog ignores commands the moment another dog walks by. Walks turn into tug-of-war battles. Guests arrive and chaos follows. These are the real challenges dog owners in Murrieta face every day.
Professional dog training changes this. Your canine companion learns to respond reliably whether you’re walking through a busy park, passing other dogs on the trail, or greeting visitors at your front door. The result is a calm, confident, well behaved dog you can trust in any situation.
Why Professional Dog Training Transforms Your Dog
The right training program with continued support creates lasting changes in your dog’s behavior. When a professional dog trainer works with your furry friend using proven methods, you see real results that stick.
Reliable Commands
Your dog responds consistently in any environment, from quiet backyards to crowded sidewalks in Murrieta.
Stress-Free Walks
No more pulling, lunging, or embarrassing behavior when passing other dogs or people.
Real-World Confidence
Your dog stays calm around distractions like traffic, children, and wildlife common throughout Southern California.
Stronger Bond
Clear communication builds trust between both you and your dog, making daily life more enjoyable.
Professional dog training ensures these improvements become permanent habits rather than temporary fixes.
Our Dog Training Programs
Every dog and family has different needs. Off Leash K9 Training of Murrieta offers tailored training options to match your goals, your dog’s personality, and your busy schedule.
Board & Train Programs
Immersive board and train programs provide intensive, focused training where your dog stays with us and learns essential skills through daily training sessions.
2-Week On-Leash Program: Your dog masters six core commands (come, sit, down, place, heel, off) with reliable obedience on leash. This program builds a solid foundation for everyday obedience.
3-Week Off-Leash Program: Advanced training for distraction-proof reliability. Your dog learns to respond to commands even without a leash, giving you freedom and confidence in any environment.
3-Week Reactive Dog Program: Specialized training for dogs with aggression or fear responses. We address the specific behavioral issues causing reactivity toward other dogs, people, or situations.
4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program: Intensive program for severe behavioral challenges. Note: This program does not guarantee a complete “fix” for entrenched behaviors due to variables like genetics or history, but it provides the best opportunity for improvement.
Private Training Sessions
One-on-one private lessons work well for dog owners who prefer hands-on involvement in the training process.
Basic Obedience: Foundation training covering essential commands and skills for everyday life.
Basic & Advanced Obedience: Comprehensive private training sessions that take your dog from beginner to advanced levels.
In-Home Training: We come to you within a 30-mile radius, addressing specific issues in the environment where they actually happen.

- Come: Reliable recall even with distractions like squirrels, other dogs, or interesting smells

- Down: Extended downs for calm behavior during meals, visitors, or relaxation time

Client Success Stories
“We enrolled our Labradoodle Oakley in the off leash 2 week board and train when he was 1 year old. He had no manners, did not walk well on a leash and was very reactive to other dogs. We had Alex Ortiz as our trainer and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish (and even beyond!). We received updates throughout the process with Oakleys progress. Walls have become so enjoyable. It has been about 2 years since Oakleys training and we constantly get complimented on how well behaved he is and we recommend this program to everyone.”
Jason Anderson // Murrieta Dog Owner
“I put my dog Nova through off leash K9 training for her slight reactivity and impulse control. Had Klaudia as Nova’s trainer. She was amazing! Send me pictures and video’s every single day! Nova had an amazing turn around and came back to me as an amazingly trained dog. I would highly recommend using off leash k9 training! Thank you Klaudia!”

Frequently Asked Questions
What age should my dog start training?
E-collar training typically starts at 5 months of age. Younger puppies can begin with clicker and treat foundations through our Basic Marker Mastery™ program, building essential skills before transitioning to more advanced methods.
Do you use e-collars and are they safe?
Yes, we use e-collars as a communication tool, similar to a tap on the shoulder to get your dog’s attention. The remote allows control up to 400 yards. We emphasize communication, not punishment. The e-collar is introduced only after proper foundational training.
What’s the difference between Board & Train and private lessons?
Board & Train programs provide immersive, intensive training where your dog stays with us for 14-21 days depending on the program. Private lessons keep your dog at home while you work directly with a trainer, requiring owner practice between sessions. Board & Train typically produces faster results and includes lifetime refresher sessions.
Do you guarantee results?
For private lessons, we offer a 100% refund after the initial lesson if you’re not happy. However, private lessons do not guarantee results since owner follow-through is outside our control. For Board & Train, by the end of your dog’s stay, they will be reliable and obedient in the commands advertised, plus you receive FREE refreshers for life.
How far do you travel for in-home sessions?
We offer in-home obedience training within a 30-mile radius from our trainer location in Murrieta, CA.
Can you help with aggressive dogs?
Yes. Our 3-Week Reactive Dog Program specifically addresses aggression and fear responses. For severe cases, our 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program provides intensive work, though we note it does not guarantee a complete fix for entrenched behaviors due to variables like genetics or history.
What happens if I’m not satisfied after the first lesson?
We offer a 100% refund after your initial private lesson if you’re not happy with the experience.
Your dog deserves to live a happy, confident life. You deserve a canine companion you can take anywhere without stress. Professional dog training from Off Leash K9 Training of Murrieta makes both possible.
We proudly serve dog owners in Murrieta, Temecula, Riverside, Menifee, and surrounding areas throughout Southern California.
