French Valley’s open spaces, trails, and wildlife make reliable dog training especially valuable. Off Leash K9 Training of Murrieta serves French Valley pet parents who want their dogs to respond more reliably in the real world, around everyday distractions.

Our Dog Training Services

French Valley customers come to us with a wide range of needs. Some want a well-mannered family pup. Others need help with a dog that pulls, lunges, or cannot calm down around other dogs. Here’s how our training services are organized so you can find the right fit for your situation.

Board & Train Programs

Immersive Board & Train gives your dog focused, consistent training while boarding with a professional trainer. Depending on the selected program, training may cover foundational obedience, off-leash reliability, reactivity, or more serious behavioral concerns in structured environments. 

  • 2-Week On-Leash Program: Covers six core commands: come, sit, down, place, heel, and off. It is designed for dogs that need a strong obedience foundation on leash.
  • 3-Week Off-Leash Program: Builds on the 2-Week On-Leash Program with a greater focus on off-leash reliability in open, high-distraction environments.
  • 3-Week Reactive Dog Program: Provides on-leash obedience training for dogs that overreact to triggers such as other dogs, people, or animals. Training takes place in controlled environments and focuses on impulse control, confidence, and calmer responses.
  • 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program: Provides intensive training for dogs with severe aggression or highly reactive behavior. This program does not guarantee a complete fix for certain behaviors, but it focuses on helping owners gain better control in triggering situations.

Board and Train clients receive reliable obedience in the commands advertised for the selected program by the end of the stay, plus free lifetime refresher training. Continued owner practice remains essential after the dog returns home.

Private Training Sessions

Private lessons are available for pet parents who want hands-on involvement at every stage. Private sessions cater to your dog’s individual pace and let you work directly with a trainer on the skills that matter most.

  • Basic Obedience: Builds a foundation in come, sit, down, place, heel, and off. Owner practice between lessons is essential for maintaining progress.
  • Basic & Advanced Obedience: Progresses from foundational commands to more advanced real-world application around distractions.
  • In-Home Training: Available within approximately a 30-mile radius of the Murrieta trainer location. This option allows training to address household behaviors in the environment where they happen.
  • Basic Marker Mastery™: Uses reward-based marker and clicker training, with the published training tools included. It provides an alternative foundation for puppies and owners who prefer reward-focused training.

Specialized Programs

  • ExpeditePro™ Add-On: Add ExpeditePro™ to an eligible Board and Train program for expedited scheduling and training with the Head Trainer. Availability is limited, so confirm current scheduling during your consultation.
  • Positive Puppy Program: This four-week Board and Train uses positive reinforcement and the Marker Mastery approach. Published skills include an introduction to crate and potty training, recall, sit, down, place, leash manners, and common puppy behaviors such as nipping and jumping.
  • E-Collar Use: Applicable obedience programs may introduce e-collar training when a dog is at least five months old. The website describes the e-collar as a communication and attention tool with a range of up to 400 yards. Equipment and methods depend on the selected program.

Why French Valley Chooses Off Leash K9 Training for Dog Training

What sets this program apart is where and how the training happens. Your dog doesn’t just learn to sit in a quiet room. Training sessions are designed to build obedience around the kinds of distractions French Valley dogs may encounter, including other dogs, wildlife, joggers, bicycles, and busy neighborhood streets. Skills are practiced around real-world distractions so your dog can develop more dependable responses in everyday life.

  • Real-world obedience: Depending on the selected program, training may focus on reliable on-leash or off-leash obedience outdoors and around distractions.
  • Owner education at every stage: You learn the cues, tools, and communication your dog responds to, so you can maintain and build on progress after the program ends. Consistent owner practice remains essential.
  • Structured options for difficult cases: The 3-Week Reactive Dog Program focuses on dogs that overreact through fear or aggression, while the 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program provides more intensive support for severe aggression or reactivity. Complete correction of entrenched behavior is not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

At What Age Can Dogs Start E-Collar Training?

E-collar training generally begins at five months of age in applicable programs. Younger puppies may begin with reward-based options such as Basic Marker Mastery™ or the four-week Positive Puppy Program. Contact the team to confirm age and eligibility requirements for your puppy.

How long do Board and Train programs take?

Programs currently range from two to four weeks depending on the selected option. The 2-Week On-Leash Program covers six core commands and training around distractions. The 3-Week Off-Leash Program adds off-leash reliability, while the 3-Week Reactive Dog Program provides on-leash training for dogs that overreact to specific triggers. The 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program is designed for severe aggression or reactivity.

What guarantee do you offer?

For private lessons, we offer a 100% refund after the initial lesson if you’re not satisfied. Private lessons do not guarantee specific results because continued practice and owner follow-through happen outside our control.

For Board & Train, your dog will be reliable in the commands advertised for the selected program by the end of the stay, and you receive free lifetime refresher training. The plans and pricing page currently states that payment plans are available. Confirm eligibility and payment terms directly with the team.

Can training help with my dog's anxiety or fear?

Training may help dogs build better obedience, impulse control, and calmer responses around certain triggers. The published 3-Week Reactive Dog Program addresses fear or aggression toward specific triggers, while the 4-Week Rehabilitation Program is designed for more severe cases.

If your dog shows separation-related distress, discuss the symptoms during the free phone consultation so the team can explain whether its services are appropriate. Results vary, and complete correction of serious behavioral concerns cannot be guaranteed.
