Off-leash dog training in Palm Beach County

A dog that comes when called and holds a position around real distractions, without a leash.

How we get there

Off-leash reliability is built in stages. Each program adds more distance, more duration, and more distraction.

Obedience 1

Beginner on-leash training

This is where you and your dog build a clear line of communication. By the end, every exercise is on command, and we work through crate training and a go-to place along the way.

  • Recall
  • Follow the lure
  • Touch
  • Sit
  • Down
  • Place
  • Crate training

$900 for 8 private sessions

Obedience 2

The beginning of off-leash training

You take the skills from Obedience 1 into new situations. This is where duration starts: your dog holds positions longer, farther from you, with more going on around them.

  • Stay
  • Finish
  • Rest
  • Focused heel
  • Stand
  • Touch at a distance
  • Pull back
  • Forward

Obedience 3

Advanced off-leash training

Obedience 1 and 2 set the stage for this. You work every exercise with major distractions, more distance, and more time, and you learn to communicate with your dog without a leash.

  • Everything from 1 and 2
  • Major distractions
  • Distance work
  • Off-leash control

What off-leash training looks like

In Obedience 2, your dog starts holding positions for longer while you add distance and distractions. Exercises include finish, rest, focused heel, stand, touch from a distance, pull back, and forward.

In Obedience 3, you work every exercise with major distractions, more distance from your dog, and more time in position, and you learn a new way to communicate with your dog without a leash from a distance.

Most dogs start with Obedience 1, since off-leash work builds on those skills.

Scott isn't just a great trainer, he's a great person! He is patient with you but will hold you accountable for doing your homework. My dog is 6 1/2 months old and is already starting with off-leash training; I couldn't have done it with any other program and without Scott as a teacher. Training your dog takes time and this program is top notch. [...] Worth every penny and every day of working with my dog (whom happens to love Scott).

Before reaching out to Florida's Finest my dog did not listen to simple commands like Come, definitely was not a off leash dog, and she was aggressive, not a good family dog for my kids. Now after training with Scott I can confidently say my dog listens and knows commands Come, Sit, Down, Heel and more. She no longer has aggressive behavior and has turned into a wonderful family dog that can be off leash and have picnics with my kids and is no longer a bully or aggressive around food. [...] Definitely the best trainer and so happy we had your help!!
