Board & Train programs last two or three weeks. Dogs live and train with a professional trainer and follow the curriculum of the selected package.

The two- and three-week programs include a two-hour owner instruction session. Board & Train graduates also receive lifetime refresher support. Complete fixes for major dog or human aggression cannot be guaranteed.
Private and In-Home Lessons
Private lessons allow owners to participate directly in their dog’s training and practice the system between scheduled sessions.
- Basic Obedience: Five private lessons covering Come, Sit, Down, Place, loose-leash Heel, and Off. An e-collar and 15-foot leash are included.
- Basic & Advanced Obedience: Nine private lessons combining foundational obedience with advanced commands and extended-distance work.
- In-Home Basic Obedience: Four private lessons covering six obedience commands. Availability depends on the client’s location.
- In-Home Basic & Advanced Obedience: Seven private lessons combining foundational obedience with advanced commands, environmental distractions, owner education, therapy dog preparation, or other eligible goals. Availability depends on location.
Progress depends on the dog, selected program, behavior being addressed, and owner consistency between sessions.
Specialized Training Programs
Dog Aggression & Reactivity Training: This nine-lesson program is designed for dogs displaying aggression or reactivity around other dogs. It combines Basic Obedience with additional lessons around dogs in different scenarios to improve control, handling, and management. Complete fixes for major dog or human aggression cannot be guaranteed.
Puppy Training: The Puppy Training Consultation is designed for puppies under five months old and covers early socialization, crate training, home manners, house-training questions, and preparation for future obedience work. An Online Puppy Training Course with 24 video modules, eight worksheets, and approximately three hours of training content is also available.
Therapy Dog Preparation: This eight-lesson program prepares dogs and owners for therapy dog testing and certification. After successful completion, eligible teams may be evaluated and certified through Therapy Pets Unlimited. Therapy dogs are different from service dogs, and completing this program does not provide service-dog status or public-access rights.
Basic Marker Mastery™: This four-session reward-based program introduces Come, Sit, Place, slip-lead handling, and loose-leash walking. A clicker, slip lead, and 15-foot leash are included. The program does not use an e-collar or prong collar, although dangerous or unwanted behavior may still be addressed when necessary.
Free Phone Consultation: Call (850) 616-2800 to discuss your dog’s age, behavior history, current challenges, and training goals before selecting a program.
Why Alys Beach Chooses Off Leash K9 Training 30A for Dog Training
Alys Beach’s pedestrian paths, parks, outdoor gathering areas, visitors, bicycles, and other dogs can create additional distractions during everyday walks. Depending on the selected program, training may include practice around mid- or high-level distractions in appropriate neighborhoods, parks, trails, stores, and other public environments.
- On-leash and off-leash options: Community K9 and Urban K9 focus on on-leash obedience, while the 3-Week Board & Train includes on- and off-leash walking, full off-leash recall, and advanced commands.
- Board & Train for busy owners: Dogs board with a professional trainer and follow the curriculum of the selected two- or three-week program.
- Different training approaches: Many Board & Train and private lesson packages include an e-collar and training leash. Basic Marker Mastery™ uses reward-based methods with a clicker, slip lead, and 15-foot leash without an e-collar or prong collar.
The appropriate option depends on your dog’s age, behavior history, training needs, and your goals as an owner.
