What's Included in Every Off Leash K9 Training Program
Every training package at Off Leash K9 Training Lubbock includes more than just obedience sessions. Here's what comes standard with all programs:
Which Dog Training Program Is Right for Your Dog?
Your dog pulls on the leash and ignores basic commands: Start with the 2-Week Basic Board & Train or Basic Obedience Private Lessons (4 sessions). Both build a reliable foundation of sit, down, place, heel, and come.
You want off-leash control in public: The 2-Week Advanced Board & Train is our most popular program. Your dog will respond to commands around distractions at parks, stores, and outdoor spaces without a leash — plus free lifetime tune-ups.
Your dog is aggressive, reactive, or anxious: Our Behavior Modification programs are specifically designed for dogs with aggression toward people or other dogs, severe anxiety, reactivity, or fear-based behaviors. These include 4 weekly follow-up lessons after the initial board and train period.
You have a new puppy: Start with a Puppy Training Consultation for house training and basic manners guidance, or enroll in the Puppy Board & Train ($1,600) for puppies 10-16 weeks old who need socialization and foundational skills.
You want the absolute best training available: The 4-Week Elite Board & Train delivers the highest level of obedience with 12+ real-world outings, advanced commands, a custom command of your choice, and training by our Head Trainer through our ExpeditePro program.

General Obedience Terms
Break: a cue that the dog may release from a command.
Aggression: When a dog displays the threat of harm to another individual or dog – involving snarling, growling, snapping, biting, barking, or lunging, we call this aggression. Aggression can be due to guarding territory or protecting a family member, resource guarding, fear, frustration, prey drive, or pain. NOTE: It is impossible to guarantee complete fixes of major behavioral issues such as dog aggression/people aggression. We can give you control and better help manage these issues.
Reactivity: Commonly confused with aggression. Reactive dogs overreact to certain things or situations. Reactivity can be due to genetics, lack of proper socialization, or a combination of the two and is typically driven by fear. Reactive dogs may have specific triggers, such as men with beards or hats, small children, or a leash.
Distractions: Distractions can be sounds, smells, other humans, dogs, or other stimuli that detract from a dog’s ability to remain focused.
Marker: A marker is just a stimulus that pinpoints the behavior used to earn a reward. It can be a clicker, a verbal cue (“Good Boy!”), or other.
