Dog Private Training Sessions in Murrieta, CA
Expert Dog Training That Works in Real-Life Situations
Off Leash K9 Southern CA offers professional dog private training sessions in Murrieta, CA, designed to build reliable obedience that works in real-life situations. Our private training focuses on addressing your dog’s unique behavior challenges with personalized attention from expert trainers.
Why Private Training Sessions Transform Your Dog’s Behavior
Group classes have their place, but they can’t address what makes your dog unique. Private lessons deliver personalized attention that gets to the root of your specific challenges.
Here’s what changes with one-on-one training sessions:
Customized focus
Every minute of training targets your dog’s behavior issues, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum
Real outcomes
Improved leash manners, calm behavior around distractions, reliable recall when you need it
Owner confidence
You learn the techniques alongside your dog, building a strong bond and the skills to maintain success
Faster progress
No waiting for other dogs to catch up or distractions from classmates
Whether you’re dealing with a new puppy learning essential commands or older dogs with bad habits, private sessions adapt to your situation. The tailored approach means your training program fits your lifestyle and your dog’s temperament, regardless of breeds or ages.
Our Private Training Options
Basic Obedience Private Lessons
Build a solid foundation with core commands every dog needs. These sessions cover sit, down, come, place, heel, and off. Your trainer works directly with you and your pup to establish desired behaviors that stick.
Owner practice between sessions is essential. The skills you learn during training must be reinforced at home for lasting behavior modification. Expect to schedule regular sessions while practicing consistently in between visits.
Basic & Advanced Obedience Private Lessons
Ready to take obedience to the next level? This program progresses from foundational skills to advanced real-world application. Your dog learns to maintain focus and follow commands even in high-distraction environments.
This training option prepares dogs for reliability around other dogs, busy streets, family gatherings, and the unpredictable situations life throws at you. The goal is a dog you can trust in any scenario Murrieta presents, as exemplified by the grace and strength of Dobermans.
In-Home Training Sessions
Sometimes the best place to train is right where behavioral issues happen. In-home obedience sessions bring professional dog trainers directly to you, addressing specific household problems in the environment where they occur.
Available within a 30-mile radius, in-home training is perfect for tackling door rushing, counter surfing, or any behavior tied to your living space. It’s convenient, practical, and immediately applicable to your daily life.
Dogs We Help With Private Training
Private lessons work for dogs at all stages of life and with various challenges:
Common Obedience Issues:
- Pulling on the leash during walks
- Jumping on people when excited
- Not coming when called
- Ignoring commands around distractions
Reactive and Anxious Dogs: Some dogs struggle with fear or overreaction to triggers like other dogs, strangers, or loud noises. Our 3-Week Reactive Dog Program addresses these behavioral issues through specialized conditioning. While we can’t guarantee a complete fix for deeply entrenched behaviors, many dogs show significant improvement.
Household Behavior Problems:
- Counter surfing
- Excessive barking
- Door rushing
- General lack of manners around family and friends
All Ages Welcome: From a new puppy learning foundations through Basic Marker Mastery™ (reward-based training with clicker and tools included) to older dogs needing a refresher, we have training options covered. Puppies under five months typically start with clicker and treat-based methods, while dogs five months and older may begin e-collar training, which serves as a communication tool rather than punishment.
What to Expect From Our Training Process
Step 1: Free Consultation
We start by understanding your dog’s specific needs. During this evaluation, we assess behavior challenges, discuss your goals, and answer your questions. This helps us recommend the right training program for your situation.
Step 2: Choose Your Program
Based on the consultation, you’ll select the private training option that fits. Whether that’s basic obedience, advanced skills, or in-home sessions, we help you make the right choice. Schedule convenient times that work with your life.
Step 3: Hands-On Training
This is where the transformation happens. You work directly with your trainer in personalized sessions, learning techniques you can practice at home. Your dog builds new skills while you build the confidence to maintain them.
Step 4: Owner Guidance and Transfer
Success depends on what happens between sessions. We make sure you master the commands and techniques yourself. Ongoing support helps you reinforce positive behaviors long after formal training ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many private sessions will my dog need?
It varies based on your dog’s current behavior, your training goals, and how consistently you practice between sessions. Some dogs show amazing progress quickly, while others need more time. Owner follow-through is the key factor in how fast results appear.
Do you guarantee results with private lessons?
We offer a 100% refund after the initial lesson if you’re not happy with the experience. However, private lessons cannot guarantee specific results because owner practice and follow-through are essential to success and outside our control.
What age can dogs start private training?
Dogs of all ages benefit from training. Puppies can begin building foundations early using reward-based methods like our Basic Marker Mastery™ program with clicker and treats. Dogs five months and older may be ready for e-collar training. Older dogs absolutely can learn new skills and break bad habits.
Can you help with aggressive or reactive dogs?
Yes. Our 3-Week Reactive Dog Program addresses dogs with fear or overreaction to triggers. We also offer a 4-Week “Rap Sheet” Rehabilitation Program for more challenging cases. Important note: these programs do not guarantee a complete fix for entrenched behaviors, but many dogs show significant improvement.
Do you train at my house or your location?
Both options are available. In-home training sessions work within a 30-mile radius and are ideal for addressing household-specific issues. We also offer training at our facility depending on your needs and preference.
What equipment is needed for private training?
Basic equipment needs are covered during your consultation. Our Basic Marker Mastery™ program includes a clicker and tools. The ExpeditePro™ add-on includes an equipment bundle. Your trainer will guide you on anything else required.
How do private lessons compare to board and train programs?
Private lessons keep your dog at home while you learn alongside them. Board and train programs (like our 2-Week On-Leash, 3-Week Off-Leash, or reactive dog options) immerse your dog in training for 14 to 21 days, with free lifetime refreshers included. Board train works well for owners who want faster results with less daily time commitment. Private lessons are ideal when you want hands-on involvement in every step.
Your dog has the potential to be calm, obedient, and a joy to be around, even with distractions. Private training sessions create the path from where you are now to the dog you’ve always wanted.
Whether you’re in Murrieta, Temecula, Riverside, or Menifee, professional help is available. Owner Tom McGovern and the Off Leash K9 Training of Murrieta team are ready to help you and your furry friend succeed.
