Advanced Obedience
Maximum Reliability Off Leash
No matter if it’s at the Outback at Shelby Farms Park, in your yard, or some place else, you can have the ultimate control and gain the confidence and freedom to trust your dog off leash! With an Advanced Off Leash Obedience training course you can do just that!
We offer both Off Campus (in home) and On Campus (board and train) Advanced Off Leash Obedience programs. On average a student will be in school for around 2-3 weeks. Although some dogs do need a little extra obedience tutoring time to be sure they understand all the training material. The Dog Obedience College trainers tutor each pup until they have a passing grade at no extra cost.
While attending College your pup will be worked and tested multiple times around numerous real life distractions such as; dogs, people, squirrels, bikes, cars, and much more. Your dog will take field trips to places like Overton Park, Shelby Farms Park, the Crosstown Concourse, or any other high distraction location near your neighborhood. As your dog’s obedience skills improve and graduation nears, head trainer Drew will schedule a personal graduation appointment and a series of follow ups. During these appointments and follow ups Drew will teach you how to best use and maintain your dog’s off leash reliability.

In Home (Off Campus)
Don’t want to send your dog off to be trained? No problem! Have a dog trainer come to you!
The In-Home obedience course brings professional, customized training directly to your doorstep. Each In-Home obedience course takes advantage of all the distractions in your home, neighborhood, and nearby parks. Your dog will have the opportunity to learn reliable off leash obedience around the comfort of their home and neighborhood and still have their family close by after the school day.
For the In-Home program you do not need to be present for the session, the trainer just needs access to your dog. Each school day the trainer will stop out to your home to pick your dog up for the lesson of the day and then drop your pup back off when finished. Typically your dog will be worn out after each session.
Upon completion of the program you will have a comprehensive training session where you will learn how to keep your dog’s progress going.
Total cost of program $1,898 (price includes Basic On Leash and Advanced Off Leash obedience)
Board and Train (On Campus)
Send your pup off to doggie school to learn reliable Off Leash Obedience and return a fully trained dog in a matter of a few weeks!
Our Board and Train program is a full-immersion training experience designed to transform your dog’s behavior in a supportive and structured environment. Over the course of 2-3 weeks, your dog will stay in comfort, and get spoiled, at a local kennel in Memphis, where they will receive a world class obedience education.
During their stay, your dog will engage in daily training sessions tailored to their specific learning style, personality, and program goals. Each training session utilizes the natural real world distractions the city of Memphis has to offer.
Once your dog is up to our standards and reached the goals of the program, you will have a graduation appointment where you will learn how to reinforce and best use your dog’s new obedience skills.
Total cost of program $2,598 (price includes Basic On Leash and Advanced Off Leash obedience)
Hybrid (On and Off Campus)
One of our most popular programs, the Hybrid learning program takes the best parts of the In-Home (off campus) and Board-and-Train (on campus) programs and combines them to make an amazing learning experience. Your dog will benefit from being immersed for 2 weeks in the Board-and-Train phase and then have the finishing touches customized fit to your specific needs in the In-Home phase.
The first phase will consist of a 2 week Board-and-Train program. During this doggie boot camp phase your dog will learn all the commands and skills needed to be reliable on and off leash.
Once the Board-and-Train phase is complete, your dog will return to your home and start a 1 week long In-Home training phase to complete their education. During the In-Home phase a trainer will come out to put the finishing touches on your dog’s education by working with your dog around your home and neighborhood. This allows your dog to work on any specific trouble areas, like walking nicely by those pesky squirrels, ignoring the loud dog down the street, just staying off leash in the yard, or any other issues.
For the In-Home portion of the program you do not have to be present for the sessions as long as a trainer can access your dog. Once your dog is up to our standards, we’ll schedule a time to train with you.
At the end of the program it’ll be time for your training. You’ll learn how to best use and reinforce all the obedience your dog learned.
Total cost of program: $2,298 (price includes Basic On Leash and Advanced Off Leash obedience)
