We begin all pups under 5 months at this level! We put together a puppy program to get started before any of our intensive programs! Our dog trainers in Saratoga know that being a puppy parent can end up being more work than you anticipated. Between potty training, proper crate training, socialization and if you’re ambitious enough; even throwing in some tricks. So, you’ve got your hands full! That being said, our dog trainers in Saratoga and the surrounding areas are happy to help you manage and work with your new puppy during those first few months!

Our basic obedience program is the best way for you to start hands on training with your pup! The team of dog trainers in Saratoga at Off Leash K9 Training are dedicated to working on the basics with you and your pup. This package includes the Off-Leash K9 Training E-Collar which all of our dogs are trained on, and includes all FOUR private lessons. The e-collar we use has a two-year warranty, it is completely waterproof, and it has a range of 1/2 a mile! This will be brought to your first lesson!

WHAT DO WE COVER?

Come | Extended Sit | Extended Down | Extended Place (they will sit on a specific location that you point to- chair, park bench, etc) | Loose-Leash Heeling (they will walk right beside of you on a leash) | Off (Negative behaviors such as jumping, barking, chewing, etc) | *Extended sit, down, and place means your dog will REMAIN in the down, sit, or place position until YOU tell them to “break” (release them).
