Why Dog Owners Trust Calm K9 Training For Off-Leash Training
Designed for owners who want real freedom — without sacrificing control or safety.
SAFETY
Off-leash freedom only works when safety comes first. Our training is built to ensure your dog remains responsive around distractions, people, animals, and real-world environments. We prioritize calm decision-making, impulse control, and clear communication so your dog can enjoy freedom without putting themselves — or others — at risk.
Reliability
Off-leash obedience isn’t about commands your dog knows — it’s about commands your dog responds to, even without a leash. We focus on creating consistent, repeatable responses through structured progression and real-world proofing, so obedience holds up beyond controlled training sessions.
PROGRESS
Every dog progresses differently, which is why our off-leash training follows a customized, step-by-step path based on temperament, drive, and confidence level. Our goal is long-term success — not quick fixes — building trust, clarity, and reliability that continue long after formal training is complete.

What Makes Our Off-Leash Training Different
Our off-leash training is built around creating calm, reliable responses where freedom actually happens — outdoors, around distractions, and without a leash
You Shouldn’t Have to Guess If Your Dog Will Listen
Most dogs don’t struggle off-leash because they don’t know commands — they struggle because those commands break down once the leash comes off.
Our off-leash training takes place in real environments where distractions, distance, and movement challenge reliability. By training beyond controlled settings, we build responses you can trust when it matters most.
Finally Enjoy Off-Leash Freedom Without the Anxiety
Off-leash success requires more than repetition — it requires clarity, timing, and structure your dog understands.
We use a step-by-step training process that builds trust, responsiveness, and accountability without constant physical management. The result is calm, reliable obedience — and the confidence to enjoy your dog off-leash without constant worry.

We finished bootcamp with David a little over a year ago and I can not express how much that experience made not only Peter’s life better but mine as well. Before training, Peter couldn’t go on walks, he had aggressive tendances towards most people and other dogs, and rarely got to go on outings with our other dogs. In the year following the training, Peter gets to go on walks everyday and regularly goes out for either just car rides or trips to the mountains to hike. If you are considering training your dog, this is the place. Don’t be fooled, it is a lot of hard work and a bit of a lifestyle change but it is beyond worth it to be able to provide your dog with the life they deserve.

I contacted Calm K9 training for help with my 9 month hound mix. I had seen 1 trainer beforehand but she wasn’t much help. I wanted to give it another shot with Calm K9 because of the reviews. My dog’s separation anxiety was getting worse and I wanted him to be safe and happy. Carl was great throughout the whole process. He was communicative, supportive, and encouraging. We did the basic training program and I saw a huge difference in my dog’s behavior and basic obedience right away. I am very thankful for Carl and for teaching ME how to train my dog. Highly recommend!

We just finished our last training session and as soon as we left, we said “that was money very well spent”. After 4 weeks of bootcamp training our dog no longer barks at us in the house and we have all the tools we need to continue to ensure he gets better and better about his leash reactivity. I thought there was no way he’d be this good after such a short amount of time but he is! It takes a good amount of work on your end (the pet parent) but we expected that up front and it allows you to be able to continue the training and obedience forever. I highly recommend working with David to ensure you have a calm k9. We did a lot of research before hiring him and are so glad we ultimately chose to work with David!
