A+ RatedFrequently Asked Questions About Our Prices
Answers to the most common questions Asheville dog owners ask about our training costs and programs
Dog training in Asheville typically ranges from $50 to $200 per private lesson at most trainers, or $1,500 to $4,000 for board and train programs. At Off Leash K9 Training of Asheville, our programs start at $100 for a puppy consultation and go up to $3,500 for our 2-week aggression board and train.

We also offer a free phone consultation so you can discuss your dog’s needs before committing.
Yes — board and train is the most effective way to achieve reliable off-leash obedience in the shortest time. In 2 weeks, your dog receives daily professional training sessions in real-world environments (parks, stores, public areas), not just in a kennel. Our 2-Week Board & Train at $2,900 includes a lifetime support guarantee, meaning you can call us anytime — 6 months or 6 years after training — with questions or tune-up requests at no additional cost. It’s the best value when you factor in the time you save and the lasting behavioral transformation. Learn more about our Board & Train program →

It depends on the program you choose. Private lesson packages run 4–8 weeks with weekly sessions (Basic Obedience is 4 weeks, Basic + Advanced is 8 weeks). Our Board & Train programs are 1–2 weeks, where your dog stays with us full-time for daily intensive training. For most dogs, the 2-Week Board & Train ($2,900) delivers the most dramatic results in the shortest time. Puppy programs range from a single 1-hour consultation to a full 6-week AKC S.T.A.R. program.
Our Board & Train price includes everything — no surprise add-ons. Here’s the full list: daily structured training sessions with certified trainers, daily photo updates via a shared Google Photos album, a professional-grade e-collar (yours to keep), a training leash (yours to keep), real-world proofing in public environments (parks, stores, outdoor settings), a comprehensive 2-hour owner turnover session where we teach you everything your dog learned, and our lifetime support guarantee. The standard 2-Week Board & Train is $2,900. The aggression-specific board and train is $3,500.
At Off Leash K9 Training of Asheville, our Aggression/Anxiety Management program is $1,100 for 7 private lessons. For severe aggression cases, our 2-Week Aggression Board & Train is $3,500 and includes everything listed in our standard board and train plus specialized desensitization, counter-conditioning, and trigger management protocols. Both programs come with a lifetime support guarantee. We work with all types of aggression: fear aggression, territorial aggression, dog-on-dog aggression, resource guarding, and leash reactivity. Learn more about our aggression training →
We understand that investing in professional dog training is a significant decision. Please call us at (828) 338-8255 to discuss payment options. We’re happy to work with you to find a solution that fits your budget while getting your dog the training they need. During your free consultation, we’ll recommend the best program for your situation and walk through all available options.
The 3-3-3 rule describes the adjustment period for rescue and newly adopted dogs: 3 days to decompress and feel overwhelmed, 3 weeks to learn your household routine and start settling in, and 3 months to feel truly at home and show their real personality. At Off Leash K9 Training of Asheville, we help rescue dog owners accelerate this process with structured training that builds confidence and trust. Our Basic Obedience program ($650) or Board & Train ($2,900) are ideal for recently adopted dogs. Learn more about training rescue dogs →
Basic Obedience ($650, 4 weeks) covers the essential commands: sit, down, come (recall), place, heel, and off. Your dog will learn to respond reliably in everyday situations with distractions. Advanced Obedience ($400, 4 weeks) builds on the basics with distance commands, duration holds, off-leash proofing in public environments, and more complex skills. We recommend the Basic + Advanced Combo ($1,000, 8 weeks) for the best value — you save $50 and get a fully trained, off-leash reliable dog.
Yes, in-home training costs slightly more to account for travel time and fuel. Our In-Home Basic is $850 (compared to $650 for in-facility), and In-Home Basic + Advanced is $1,400 (compared to $1,000 for in-facility). The benefit is that your dog learns in their home environment, which can be especially helpful for dogs with separation anxiety, territorial behavior, or owners who can’t easily transport their dog. In-home training is available within a 20-mile radius of Arden, NC. Learn more about in-home training →
The 7-7-7 rule is a puppy socialization guideline. By the time your puppy is 12 weeks old, they should have experienced 7 different surfaces (grass, concrete, tile, carpet, etc.), met 7 different people (men, women, children, people with hats/uniforms), and been exposed to 7 different situations (car rides, loud noises, other animals, etc.). This builds a confident, well-adjusted dog. Our AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package ($400) incorporates structured socialization exercises based on these principles. Learn more about our puppy programs →
No — a professional-grade e-collar and training leash are included in the price of most programs (Basic Obedience, Board & Train, Aggression, and Advanced Obedience). The e-collar is yours to keep after training. This saves you $150–$300 compared to buying one separately. Our trainers will teach you exactly how to use it safely and effectively during your turnover session. E-collars are not included in the Puppy Consultation or AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy packages, as puppies use different training methods.
