The whole Las Vegas Valley, including North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, Enterprise and Paradise. See the areas we serve, or call if you are not sure we reach you.

No. We are a service-area business with no public location. During a board and train, your dog boards with one of our professional trainers and trains out in the real world. The best first step is a phone call.

Off Leash K9 Training of Las Vegas is owned by Ernesto Rincon, a Marine Corps veteran and lifelong Las Vegas local, and your dog is trained by Ernesto and his team of professional trainers. Read more on our About page.

We have more than 90 Google reviews with a 4.9-star average. You can also read full write-ups of real dogs we have trained in our success stories.

Three board and train programs: the 2-Week On-Leash Program, the 3-Week Off-Leash Program and the 3-Week Reactive Dog Program. Each one is explained on our services page, and every price is on our plans and pricing page.

The 2-Week On-Leash Program is $3,485. The 3-Week Off-Leash Program and the 3-Week Reactive Dog Program are $4,485 each. Every program includes an e-collar and a lifetime refresher. See plans and pricing for what each one covers.

Most owners choose the two-week board and train. If you want your dog reliable without a leash for hiking and camping, look at off-leash dog training. If your dog overreacts to other dogs, people or animals, the reactive dog program is built for that. Not sure? Call us and we will help you choose.

Yes, payment plans are available. Call (725) 550-5066 to learn more about payment options, or start from our plans and pricing page.

No. All three of our programs are board and train, where your dog boards with a professional trainer and trains every day. Our board and train page explains how it works.

Your dog boards with a professional Off Leash K9 trainer for two or three weeks and trains every day, until the commands become habits. Then your dog comes home and we show you how to keep it going. More on our board and train page.

Six core commands: come, sit, down, place, heel and off, with sit, down and place held until you release your dog. The three-week off-leash program adds reliability without a leash.

Out where your dog actually has to behave: busy outdoor malls, shopping centers and parks around Las Vegas. Dogs in the reactive dog program work at a calmer level, such as local parks at off-peak hours and neighborhood walks.

Owners’ reviews mention it again and again: texts, pictures and videos of their dog’s progress during the stay. You can see what the finished training looks like in our success stories.

You get an in-depth, one-on-one session with your trainer, so you are confident handling your dog’s new skills. Every program also includes a lifetime refresher. See plans and pricing for what each program includes.

You do not need to set aside a block of time every day. We teach you how to work the training into your normal routine: walks, mealtimes and trips out. Our board and train page covers the handover.

Yes. Our three-week reactive dog program is for dogs who overreact to other dogs, people or animals, whether that comes from aggression or fear. Read about a Cane Corso who barked and lunged at every dog and person.

That is what the 3-Week Off-Leash Program is for. It includes everything in the two-week program and then builds reliability without a leash in open places with real distractions. See off-leash dog training.

Yes. Our training works for dogs of any size and any breed, as long as they are at least 20 weeks old. Our success stories include dogs from a cockapoo to a Great Dane.

At least 20 weeks old. That is our minimum age for every program. If your dog is old enough, the two-week board and train is where most dogs start.

We do not run a separate puppy program. Dogs can start any of our programs at 20 weeks. If your puppy is younger than that, Call (725) 550-5066 and we will tell you the best time to book.

It is a collar with a remote that the handler holds. It gives a mild pulse, closer to a tap on the shoulder than a shock, and we use it to get your dog’s attention and keep it focused on you, never as a punishment. An e-collar is included with every program on our plans and pricing page.

No. Before we use it on your dog, we will put the e-collar on your own arm so you can feel how mild it is. We are dog trainers because we love dogs, and we would never do anything to a dog that we would not do to ourselves.

The goal is for your dog to need it less and less at home and in familiar places, as the commands become habit. We still recommend using it in new or unpredictable places, like an insurance policy: better to have it and not need it. That matters most for off-leash training.

Most owners are surprised to find the opposite. Dogs quickly learn that the collar going on means going outside, training and playing, and many come running when they hear it switch on.
