Off Leash Training Columbus Ohio
Let Your dog Enjoy Quality Time Without a Leash
What Is Off-Leash Dog Training?
Off-leash training is a type of obedience training that teaches your dog to behave while out of the house and not wearing a leash. It involves teaching your pooch specific commands so you can remain in control of your pet through verbal commands and visual cues. This type of program is great if you want your dog to spend time in an outdoor environment – such as camping, hiking, or going on a walk – without a leash on, or if you simply want them to behave better in everyday situations. Proper training enables your dog to spend time without a leash restricting their movement, allowing them to run and play while giving you peace of mind that they’ll stay safe and follow your lead when you give commands.
At Marcum K9, we offer off-leash training in our Columbus area homes and at our facility in Canal Winchester, OH. Your dog will spend time with us learning verbal commands and how to properly behave without a leash on. Off-leash training opens up more opportunities for you and your pets to spend stress-free time together outside of the home.
Benefits of Taking Dogs Off Leashes in Columbus
Allowing your dog to spend time unclipped from their leash provides a ton of benefits. They can experience greater freedom, better explore their environment, and become more independent and confident. Without a leash on, your dog can run around and get more exercise, and can more easily play with other canines.
With the proper off-leash class, you can let your pooch enjoy time unclipped from the leash without stress or worry that they’ll display poor manners. Your dog will learn to control their impulses and listen to your commands, even when distractions are present. You’ll also be able to feel comfortable having your dog off leash around guests, strangers, and other animals, and will have peace of mind knowing your furry friend will behave and stay safe.
About Our Columbus Off-Leash Obedience Training Program
We also teach important commands like heel, sit, down, and leave it, so you can help keep your dog on their best behavior without requiring them to wear a leash. Since you won’t have physical control over your pet without a leash, it’s crucial that they understand and respond to your verbal and visual commands. Through repetition, we’ll help your pooch learn new behaviors, and then gradually increase distractions to put their new knowledge to practice.

We Provide Continuous Support for You and Your Dog
Over time, even the best-trained dogs may develop new mannerisms or behaviors for a variety of reasons. That’s why we offer lifelong training support to improve your pet’s behavior and help you build trust with your pet. Following your dog’s lessons, you are welcome to contact us with any questions or concerns. Our goal is for you to have a strong bond with your well-mannered pooch.
Your Dog Will Learn in Real-World Environments
In our experience, pets learn best in an environment that’s similar to what they’re used to and when facing real-life circumstances. We train dogs in our own homes and customize the experience to each dog using distractions they face in their typical daily lives. They’ll learn how to manage their impulses and listen to commands in our homes, so they’re prepared to handle the same situations when they return to your home.
We also perform dog training services in our facility in Canal Winchester, Ohio, where we use repetitive conditioning to teach obedience and discipline. Between our homes and the facility, your dog will have plenty of opportunities to learn as well as play, exercise, and socialize with other pooches.
When Should You Train Your Dog?
Educating your dog how to behave while off leash is a crucial step before unclipping the leash. If you’re planning on letting your dog go leash-free at times, we recommend starting a program with us as soon as possible. Learning new commands and habits take time and repetition, so the sooner your dog starts with training the sooner you both can benefit from their off-leash time. Starting dog training while your dog is younger also helps strengthen your bond and communication.
What Types of Dogs Can Be Trained?
The Marcum K9 team in Columbus has years of experience working with a wide variety of dogs, including different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities. All dogs can be trained. Regardless of what your situation is or your dog’s mannerisms, we can train your dog to listen when you give a command and behave while unclipped from their leash. If you are concerned that your pet has specific characteristics or habits that will make them difficult to train, feel free to contact us. We’ll discuss your pet’s needs and create a plan to help them become the well-mannered pooch we know they can be.
