What is the best dog training method for Rochester dogs?

This method is proven to achieve lasting results: 100% obedience, 100% off leash reliability, and 100% distraction-proof behavior.

Our Rochester board and train programs range from 2-4 weeks for intensive, immersive training where your dog lives with our trainers. Private lesson packages typically span 4-8 weeks with weekly sessions, allowing you to learn alongside your dog. For serious behavioral issues like aggression, training may take 8-12 weeks or longer. Most Rochester clients see significant improvement within the first few sessions, with complete transformation over the course of the full program. Remember, training is an ongoing process—we provide lifetime support to ensure long-term success.
Can you train older dogs in Rochester?
Absolutely! Dogs of any age can be trained successfully. We work with puppies as young as 8 weeks old, adult dogs, and senior dogs throughout Rochester and Monroe County. The old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is completely false when proper training methods are used. We've transformed countless adult and senior dogs throughout Brighton, Pittsford, Webster, and beyond. While puppies may learn slightly faster, adult dogs often have better focus and attention spans. Whether your Rochester dog is 8 weeks or 8 years old, we can help create the well-behaved companion you deserve.

Yes, we train all breeds, sizes, and mixes. From tiny Chihuahuas in Brighton apartments to large German Shepherds in Pittsford estates, from popular Golden Retrievers to challenging Belgian Malinois, we have experience with every breed. Our Rochester trainers have worked with Labs, Pit Bulls, Huskies, Poodles, Bulldogs, Doodles, Shepherds, Terriers, Spaniels, and hundreds of mixed breeds. Different breeds may have different temperaments, energy levels, and instincts, but our training method is effective across all breed types. We customize our approach to your specific dog's personality and needs rather than making assumptions based on breed alone.
What makes Off Leash K9 Training different from other Rochester dog trainers?
Several factors set us apart from other dog trainers in Rochester: (1) Our proven training method achieves complete off-leash reliability, not just basic on-leash obedience.

(8) We focus on fundamental behavior change, not just teaching tricks. Our 4.8-star rating with 220+ Google reviews reflects our commitment to Rochester dog owners.
Where do you conduct training sessions in Rochester?
Training depends on the program selected. Our Fairport facility provides a controlled environment for initial learning. We also conduct training in your Brighton, Pittsford, Webster, or other Rochester-area home to address specific household issues. Critically, we train in real-world Rochester environments where your dog needs to perform: parks throughout Monroe County, busy streets in downtown Rochester, shopping areas in Greece and Henrietta, trails at Mendon Ponds Park and Highland Park, and anywhere else you need reliable obedience. This real-world training ensures your dog obeys everywhere, not just in training facility conditions.
Do you offer puppy training in Rochester, NY?
Yes! Our Rochester puppy training program is specifically designed for puppies 8 weeks to 6 months old throughout Monroe County. We focus on critical early development including socialization, potty training, bite inhibition, basic obedience commands, crate training, and preventing common puppy problems before they become adult dog issues. Training your puppy correctly from the start prevents years of behavioral problems and creates a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. Rochester puppies in Brighton, Pittsford, Webster, and surrounding areas benefit tremendously from early professional training during their critical learning window.
What should I expect during the first consultation?
Your free consultation with Off Leash K9 Training Rochester includes meeting with one of our certified trainers to discuss your specific situation, goals, and concerns. We'll evaluate your dog's current behavior and temperament, explain our training methodology and how it will address your specific issues, discuss program options and pricing, answer all your questions, and provide honest feedback about what we can accomplish together. There's no pressure or obligation—we want to ensure our Rochester training programs are the right fit for your family before you commit. The consultation typically lasts 30-45 minutes and can be conducted at our Fairport facility or your home anywhere in the Rochester area.
Will my Rochester dog listen to my family or just the trainer?
An essential part of our Rochester training programs is teaching YOU how to communicate with and handle your dog. While we do the initial heavy lifting—especially in board and train programs—we always include owner education sessions where you learn the techniques, commands, and leadership skills necessary to maintain your dog's training. Your dog will learn to respect and obey every member of your Rochester household, not just our trainers. We provide detailed handler instruction, practice sessions, and ongoing support to ensure your entire family can successfully manage your well-trained dog throughout Brighton, Pittsford, Webster, or wherever you live in Monroe County.
