Why Board and Train Works for Murrieta Dogs
When dogs receive intensive daily training in a structured environment, you can enjoy lasting results that simply aren’t possible with weekly private lessons alone. The immersion approach removes the inconsistencies that slow progress and builds strong habits through repetition.
Here’s what Murrieta dog owners experience after a board and train program:
Reliable leash manners
Around trails at Santa Rosa Plateau and neighborhood walks
Calm behavior
During visits to pet-friendly Temecula wineries and outdoor patios
Confident off-leash control
At local dog parks and hiking areas throughout Southern California
Immediate response to commands
Even with other dogs, people, and wildlife nearby
Reduced behavioral issues
like pulling, jumping, and barking at distractions
Professional dog training eliminates the guesswork. Your dog stays in a focused training facility where expert dog trainers work daily to shape behavior, build obedience, and proof commands in real-world settings. No conflicting signals. No weekend-only practice. Just consistent progress toward a well behaved best friend.
Our Board and Train Programs
Off Leash K9 Training of Murrieta offers several board and train options designed to match your dog’s temperament, behavior challenges, and your training goals.
2-Week On-Leash Program
This foundational program teaches six core commands: come, sit, down, place, heel, and off. Perfect for dogs who need basic obedience and reliable leash manners, this train program includes intensive daily training sessions in both controlled settings and real-world environments.
Your dog develops essential skills for everyday life. Walking past distractions without pulling. Settling on command when guests arrive. Coming when called the first time.
3-Week Off-Leash Program
Ready for hiking adventures, off-leash parks, and true freedom with your furry friend? This advanced program builds on basic obedience to create reliable off-leash control. Dogs learn to respond at distances up to 400 yards using e-collar communication.
Ideal for active Murrieta families who want to explore trails, beaches, and open spaces with confidence. Imagine calling your dog back mid-chase and watching them turn on a dime to return to you.
3-Week Reactive Dog Program
Does your dog lunge, bark, or lose focus around other dogs or people? This specialized program addresses reactivity through proven techniques that build calm, controlled behavior in triggering situations.
We focus on developing confidence while teaching your dog better responses to stressful stimuli. Many reactive dogs aren’t aggressive. They’re anxious, frustrated, or overstimulated. This program helps them develop the skills to handle the world without overreacting.
4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program
Some dogs arrive with multiple behavioral issues that require intensive, comprehensive work. This program addresses complex behavior challenges through extended training and careful behavior modification.
Important note: this program does not guarantee a complete “fix” for severe or deeply ingrained behaviors. However, it provides the most thorough approach available for dogs with significant challenges.
ExpeditePro™ and Basic Marker Mastery™ Options
- ExpeditePro™: Skip the wait list and have your dog train directly with the Head Trainer. Includes an equipment bundle for continued success at home.
- Basic Marker Mastery™: A reward-based program using clicker training and positive reinforcement. Clicker and training tools included. No e-collar required.

Dogs We Help in Murrieta
Our board and train programs address common behavior challenges that frustrate dog owners throughout the Murrieta area. While we cannot promise miracles, we consistently help dogs with:
- Leash pulling during walks through Murrieta neighborhoods and busy shopping areas
- Jumping, mouthing, and excessive energy that makes welcoming guests stressful
- Reactivity around other pets, strangers, or specific triggers
- Inconsistent obedience and recall issues where commands work sometimes but not always
- Anxious or fearful dogs who need confidence building through structured training
- Common household bad habits like counter surfing, door dashing, and demand barking
We work with puppies starting puppy training foundations, young dogs needing socialization and basic skills, and older dogs with established behavioral issues. Every dog’s progress depends on their individual temperament and the owner’s commitment to maintaining training at home.
Our Training Process
Step 1: Free Consultation
Contact us for a phone consultation to discuss your dog’s specific needs, behavior history, and training goals. We’ll help determine which program fits best and answer your questions about what to expect.
Step 2: Choose Your Program
Based on your consultation, select the board and train program that matches your dog’s needs. We’ll schedule your dog’s stay and provide preparation instructions to ensure a smooth start.
Step 3: Intensive Training
Your dog receives daily professional training sessions at our facility. Training includes real-world practice in various environments throughout Murrieta and surrounding areas. You’ll receive regular updates on your dog’s progress throughout the program. Our dog trainers use proven methods combining structure, clear communication, and appropriate motivation. For programs using e-collar training, we introduce the tool as a communication device for attention and guidance, never as punishment.
Step 4: Owner Transfer and Follow-up
This step matters as much as the training itself. When your dog comes home, you receive a comprehensive handoff session where our team teaches you exactly how to maintain your dog’s new skills. You’ll learn the commands, timing, and techniques to keep training consistent. Plus, you receive free lifetime refresher training whenever you need it. Because owner follow-through determines long-term success, we make sure both you and your dog are set up for life.

Customer Success Stories
“I brought my 2 big dogs to Klaudia and she did wonders with them!! I was fully invested in the process but didnt have the training experience so I wanted the professionals to do it for me….and sure enough, she did! I no longer have to worry about having either dog run off from me. They come when called. They are much better behaved dogs thank goodness! Very much worth it! And Klaudia sends pictures and updates all the time so you know the dogs are in good hands. She is the best!”
Danielle Barlow // Murrieta Dog Owner

Opal is also, just over all is a much better behaved dog. The photo shown, shows have effect Klauadia’s training was, as Opal would never have been able to do this before. Thank you for the training! I highly recommend!!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does board and train take?
Programs range from 14 to 21 days depending on your dog’s needs and chosen program. The 2-week program covers basic obedience and leash manners. Three and four-week programs address off-leash training, reactivity, or complex behavior modification.
What guarantee do you offer?
Our board and train guarantee: by the end of your dog’s stay, they will be reliable in the commands advertised for that program, plus you receive free refresher training for life. We stand behind our work and support your success long after your dog comes home.
Do you use e-collars in training?
Most programs include e-collar training for reliable communication at distances up to 400 yards. The e-collar is used for communication and attention, not punishment. It’s a tool that allows off-leash reliability in real-world situations.
For owners who prefer reward-only methods, our Basic Marker Mastery™ program uses clicker training and positive reinforcement without e-collar.
What age can dogs start board and train?
E-collar training typically begins at 5 months of age. Younger puppies can start training with our clicker and treat foundation programs, building essential skills before transitioning to more advanced work. Puppy programs focus on potty training, basic manners, and early socialization.
Can you help with aggressive dogs?
We offer specialized reactive dog programs, but we cannot guarantee complete fixes for severe aggression. A free consultation helps us determine if your dog is a good fit for our programs and which approach offers the best chance of success.
What happens after my dog comes home?
The transition home matters. You’ll receive a comprehensive transfer session where we teach you to maintain your dog’s training. We provide detailed guidance on commands, timing, and handling. Owner follow-through is essential for lasting results.
You also receive free lifetime refresher training whenever needed. If skills start slipping or you need a tune-up, bring your dog back at no additional charge.
How is board and train different from private lessons?
Private lessons teach skills during training sessions, but your dog practices primarily at home with you. Board and train provides intensive daily work in a structured environment where your dog builds habits through consistent repetition. Many dog owners find board and train delivers faster, more reliable results because distractions are controlled and training happens without interruption.
Life with a well trained dog changes everything. Walks become enjoyable instead of stressful. Visitors receive calm greetings instead of chaos. Adventures happen without worry.
