Off-Leash Training at Glass City K9

Imagine enjoying a walk in the park or a camping trip with your dog off-leash, knowing they will listen and respond to your commands in any environment. At Glass City K9, our off-leash training program is designed to give you that confidence and freedom. This advanced training focuses on building trust and communication between you and your dog, no matter the distractions around you.

Why Off-Leash Training Matters

Off-leash training is about more than just letting your dog roam freely. It’s about:

  • Safety: Ensuring your dog responds reliably to commands, even in high-risk situations.
  • Freedom: Allowing your dog to explore and enjoy their surroundings while staying under control.
  • Stronger Bond: Deepening the trust and understanding between you and your dog.

This training is ideal for dog owners who want to take their pet’s obedience to the next level and enjoy off-leash adventures with confidence.

What Our Off-Leash Training Program Includes

Our comprehensive program covers all the essential skills needed for reliable off-leash behavior:

1. Reliable Recall

  • Teaching your dog to come when called, even with distractions
  • Reinforcing recall commands in various environments

2. Off-Leash Heeling

  • Ensuring your dog walks calmly beside you without a leash
  • Practicing focus and attention during walks

3. Advanced Commands

  • Distance commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “place”
  • Teaching your dog to respond promptly, even at a distance

4. Distraction Training
