Frequently Asked Questions
Is this program considered "Purely Positive "?
“Purely Positive” dog training is a training method that focuses solely on positive reinforcement and rewards, without any use of punishment or correction. We prefer to use “Positive Reinforcement,” as we reinforce good behavior with praise, treats, or other positive stimuli. However, unlike “Purely Positive” training, we will address dangerous or bad behavior if necessary. If your dog likes to chase cars on busy streets, we certainly don’t want to ignore that behavior.
What's the difference between Clicker & Marker Training?
Clicker training and marker training are both forms of positive reinforcement training. Still, they differ in the specific type of “marker” used to communicate to the dog that it has performed the desired behavior. A “marker” can be a verbal cue like a “YES!” Clicker training is just what it sounds like: a clicker marks the exact moment a dog performs the desired behavior. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preference and the dog’s specific needs.
Who is this program designed for ?
This program is for any dog owner who is ready to begin their pup’s dog training journey with an early introduction to basic obedience commands. It is also perfect for dog owners who aren’t yet comfortable with e-collar training or other traditional balanced dog training methods.
What rewards are used in positive reinforcement training?
We use different training rewards for different dogs. Treats are the most commonly used reward in positive reinforcement training as they are highly motivating for most pups. But we may also use clickers, toys, verbal praise, playtime, etc.
Is there an age requirement or breed restriction?
Although there is no specific age requirement, if you have a new puppy, you should call us first so we can decide together the best time to get your puppy started.

If you are worried about the collar, [I'm not suggesting you do this, in fact it's probably stupid] I tried it on myself and it wasn't that bad,

Off Leash Training helped us with our senior dog. Our dog is 10 years old and is very smart and stubborn. He had become aggressive and hard to control around others.

We just finished the eight week Basic and Advanced Obedience classes with our two year old Australian Shepherd, Charlie, and Zeke. To say that this was worth every single penny spent would be an understatement

Seriously can’t give enough recommendation for this place, and trainer Rebecca specifically. We got our Bernese at 5 months from a puppy mill, and she had really significant fear of people

We got a 6 month old Bernedoodle (Molly) that needed training. We had specific wants from our training. The basic training was great, it reinforced the bond with our dog.
