Our Dog Training Services

Perris dog owners come to us with everything from a jumping puppy to a dog-reactive adult that has not walked calmly on a leash in years. Here is how our services are structured.

Private 1-on-1 Training Sessions

Private sessions work well for owners who want hands-on coaching while their dog develops practical obedience skills. We offer Basic Obedience, covering the six core commands of come, sit, down, place, heel, and off, and Basic & Advanced Obedience for owners who want greater duration, distance, and distraction work.

Progress varies by dog, and consistent owner practice between sessions is essential. In-home training is available within a 30-mile radius of the trainer’s location.

The free phone consultation helps identify which available training option may fit the dog’s behavior, training history, and the owner’s goals. It also allows owners to ask about program methods, equipment, expectations, and their role in maintaining the training.

Board & Train Programs

Board & Train programs currently range from two to four weeks, depending on the selected program and the dog’s training needs. Dogs receive immersive professional training with practice in controlled and real-world environments appropriate for their program.

Available tracks include on-leash obedience, off-leash obedience, reactivity training, and extended rehabilitation for serious behavioral concerns:

  • 2-Week On-Leash Program: Your dog works on come, sit, down, place, heel, and off while developing reliable on-leash responses around everyday distractions.
  • 3-Week Off-Leash Program: This program includes the foundation of the 2-Week Program while adding off-leash reliability in open, high-distraction environments.
  • 3-Week Reactive Dog Program: This on-leash program combines the six core obedience commands with structured work around specific triggers in controlled, moderate-distraction environments.
  • 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program: This extended program is designed for dogs with serious aggression or highly reactive behavior. It uses a customized plan in lower-distraction environments and does not guarantee a complete fix for every behavior.

The ExpeditePro™ add-on allows eligible Board & Train clients to bypass the usual eight-week wait and secure an expedited training spot with the Head Trainer. Availability is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Training methods, environments, and goals vary by program. The obedience programs focus on the advertised commands and distraction work, the Reactive and Rehabilitation programs provide specialized behavior support, and the Positive Puppy Program uses reward-based Marker Mastery™ training.

Puppy Training Programs

Puppy training foundations can begin as early as eight weeks old using age-appropriate, reward-based methods. The current Positive Puppy Program is a four-week Board & Train program that uses the Marker Mastery™ approach.

The program introduces:

  • Crate and potty training
  • Recall in the house and yard
  • Sit and down
  • Place
  • Leash manners
  • Work on common puppy behaviors such as nipping and jumping

Separate Basic Marker Mastery™ lessons for puppies three to five months old are also listed through the site’s puppy bundle options.

Early, safe socialization helps puppies build confidence around people, animals, sounds, surfaces, and environments. The primary socialization period occurs during the first three months of life, although appropriate exposure should continue afterward. Experiences should remain controlled and positive, with vaccination and health precautions discussed with the puppy’s veterinarian.

The Murrieta site states that remote-collar training generally begins when a dog is at least five months old. Younger puppies begin with clicker, marker, treat, and reward-based foundations before moving into an age-appropriate obedience program.

Behavior & Reactivity Rehabilitation

Reactivity and aggression require an individualized approach based on the dog’s history, triggers, behavior, and level of risk. During the free phone consultation, the team discusses the dog’s behavior and helps determine whether the 3-Week Reactive Dog Program, 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program, or another training option may be appropriate.

The 3-Week Reactive Dog Program is an on-leash program that combines the six core obedience commands with structured work around triggers in controlled environments. The 4-Week Rehabilitation Program provides a deeper, customized focus for severe aggression or highly reactive behavior.

Progress varies, and neither program should be described as a guaranteed cure for aggression or deeply established behavior. Owner consistency and careful management remain important after the dog returns home.

Sudden or significant behavior changes can sometimes have medical contributors. Owners should consult a veterinarian when pain, illness, medication effects, or another health concern may be influencing the dog’s behavior.

Why Perris Chooses Off Leash K9 Training for Real-World Obedience

Many dogs learn to sit in a quiet living room but fall apart at the sight of a squirrel or another dog on a trail. Our training methods focus on developing obedience in the environments where your dog actually lives, including parks, sidewalks, parking lots, neighborhoods, and your own front yard. The goal is to help dogs respond more reliably when everyday distractions are present.

  • Off-leash obedience around real distractions Remote e-collar training allows communication with your dog at distances of up to 400 yards. Off Leash K9 Training describes the e-collar as a communication and attention tool rather than a punishment device. Consistent timing, clear communication, and owner education remain essential.
  • Programs that teach owners, not just dogs Private training focuses on teaching owners how to communicate with their dogs. Sessions include guidance and practice so you can build confidence in handling your dog between visits.
  • Structured options for different training needs Puppies can begin age-appropriate foundation work early, while dogs with reactivity or serious behavioral histories may require a more specialized program. Reward-based Marker Mastery™ training is used for younger puppies, while the site generally introduces remote-collar obedience training at five months or older.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does dog training cost in Perris?

Costs vary depending on the program type, duration, and level of training your dog needs. Current Board & Train and puppy-program prices are published on our plans and pricing page.

Contact us at (760) 477-4875 for a free consultation and help identifying the appropriate option for your dog. Training packages must be paid in full before lessons are scheduled.

What's included in your guarantee?

Private lessons offer a 100% refund after the initial lesson if you are not happy with the experience. Private lessons do not guarantee specific results because owner practice and follow-through are essential and outside the trainer’s control.

The current obedience, reactive, and rehabilitation Board & Train packages advertise reliable performance of the commands included in the selected program and free lifetime refresher training. The 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program does not guarantee a complete fix for every behavior.

Do you use e-collars, and are they safe?

Off Leash K9 Training of Murrieta describes the e-collar as a communication tool and generally introduces remote-collar training at five months or older. Younger puppies begin with clicker, marker, treat, and reward-based foundations.

Before enrolling, ask the trainer to explain the equipment, fit, settings, training methods, potential risks, and how your dog’s response will be monitored. This information can help you determine whether the program and equipment match your preferences and your dog’s needs.

How long does training take to see results?

Current Board & Train programs run from two to four weeks, depending on the selected track. The Positive Puppy Program also runs for four weeks.

Private-training timelines depend on the selected package, the dog’s starting behavior, the owner’s goals, and consistent practice between sessions. Results and long-term reliability vary, so owners should expect to continue reinforcing the training after the formal program ends.
