An e-collar uses a subtle electrical stimulation — like a tap on the shoulder — to communicate with your dog from up to 400 yards away. It is NOT a shock collar. The same technology is used by military, law enforcement, and search-and-rescue K9 units worldwide. At your first lesson, your trainer will demonstrate the sensation on their own arm. The e-collar is included in every training package. Read all FAQs →

Off Leash K9 Training of Asheville
Your Dog's Safety & Happiness is our #1 Priority!
Here at Off Leash K9 Training of Asheville, we take your dog’s safety and care very seriously. In order to help ensure that you get the very best care and updates on your dog’s stay with us during their 2-week Board and Train, we incorporate a variety of safety measurements and controls. First, management and yourself (as well as anybody you choose to include) are added to a Google Photos album of your dog that is updated daily with photos (promises to never exceed 48 hours even in cases of trainer illness or outstanding circumstances – because we are human too) and videos every 2 to 3 days!
Dogs will be dogs, and while Board and Train issues are far from the norm, we do have protocols in place if things do not go as planned. Should your dog’s appetite decrease during their stay, or they receive the smallest wound, you will be notified immediately via management or the trainer and given an assortment of care options that could include your trainer modifying your dog’s diet to increase calorie content and appetite, first aid, or even veterinary care. Any time your dog leaves the trainer’s home, they are outfitted with a GPS Whistle unit that allows us to keep a detailed record of outings and ensure that there is never a situation where we are unable to show the owner via screenshot, exactly where their dog is at any time of the day.
Furthermore, every Board and Train stay comes with a full before and after video that documents your dog’s training journey. You’ll see from the very first day at pickup (or right after) to the final turnover when you get to work with your transformed dog for the very first time! We know how much you love your dog because we are dog lovers just like you! We promise to treat your 4-legged family member and best friend as if they were our own.
Get the Obedient Dog of Your Dreams
Buying a puppy for your home, can lead to many years of laughter and affection. In fact, many would consider a family dog as their own child. However, like any child, most dogs require almost constant supervision. And once you take your eyes off of them for a single moment, there is no telling what they may do, or what may happen to them.
Any responsible dog owner will do their best to keep them from harm, but what can you do when you cannot always be around to watch them all day? Just as you would with a child, you would want to teach them how to be more independent, more obedient, and most importantly, safer, when you are and aren’t home watching them.
You may not be able to ship your dog off of boarding school, but you can take them to one of the highest rated dog training companies in the nation. Off Leash K9 of Asheville NC helps dogs all across the nation become their best good boy, learning to leave behind bad behavior and replace it with the obedience that you need from them. In no time at all, you will never have to worry about leaving them alone, or leaving them around others.
