For owners who prefer the convenience of training at home, we bring the published obedience curriculum directly to your Leeland property.

An e-collar and 15-foot leash are included.

Why Leeland Chooses Off Leash K9 Training for Dog Training

Leeland is a community in southern Stafford County near Falmouth and Fredericksburg. Traffic, neighborhood activity, wildlife, and other dogs can create distractions, so the appropriate training plan should reflect the dog’s behavior, environment, and the owner’s goals.

Real-world reliability, not just classroom practice. Published programs include different levels of distraction work. Community K9 uses mid-level environments, while Urban K9 uses higher-distraction settings. The amount of off-leash work depends on the selected program and the dog’s progress.
Flexible options for busy Leeland families. Choose in-home obedience training conducted at your home or a Board & Train program in which your dog boards with a professional trainer for the selected program length.
Specialized aggression and reactivity options are available for qualifying cases. The eight-lesson Aggressive Dog Training program is intended for dogs with aggression or reactivity around other dogs. The 3 Week Behavioral Board & Train is an on-leash-only program for dogs with high reactivity toward people or dogs or significant anxiety. Complete fixes of major behavioral issues cannot be guaranteed.
