Programs and prices

These are the prices on our website on November 4, 2026. Prices can change; our prices page always has the current ones.

What every board and train includes

• Your dog boards with one of our professional trainers for the whole program and trains every day.
• Updates while your dog is with us (daily video updates on the aggressive dog program).
• A one-on-one handoff session at pickup: about 1.5 hours for one week, 2 hours for two weeks, and 2 to 3 hours for the aggressive dog program.
• A lifetime refresher class after graduation.

Frequently misunderstood facts

• Board and train and private lessons are different. In board and train, your dog stays and trains with our trainer. In private lessons, you and your dog train together with a trainer.
• Aggression work is its own program. The 2 Week Aggressive Dog Board and Train ($3,100) is built for reactive and aggressive dogs. The 1 Week and 2 Week Board and Train programs are not designed for aggression.
• Human aggression is assessed first. A trainer assesses a dog that is aggressive toward people before it is accepted into a program. Nobody can promise a complete fix for aggression; we give you control and help you manage it.
• E-collar training starts at five and a half months. Younger puppies train with the clicker and treat method instead.
• Board and train has requirements. Dogs need to be potty and crate trained before the program starts.
• Visits are by appointment only. Please call before coming to our New Haven training base.
• Packages are paid before lessons are scheduled. Once a package is paid, we send you the link to book your appointments.
• Results last with practice at home. Every program ends with a hands-on lesson that teaches you how to keep the results, and we show you how to fit training into your normal routine.

What Off Leash K9 Training of Fort Wayne is not

• Not online training. Our training is in person, with our trainers.
• Not a quick fix. Programs run from one private lesson to two weeks of board and train, followed by practice at home.
• Not a substitute for veterinary care. A medical issue that affects behavior may need a veterinarian alongside training.
• Not the same business as other Off Leash K9 Training locations. This page covers the Fort Wayne location only, based in New Haven, Indiana.
