The Challenge
Courtney Rice reached out because, like many young dogs, Rudy had learned a few basic commands but rarely listened when it mattered. Everyday situations had become frustrating.
Before training, Rudy struggled with:
- Ignoring common commands
- Pulling and poor behavior on leash
- Running out the door whenever he had the chance
- Difficulty holding place or settling
Courtney knew Rudy needed professional guidance to build structure and consistency before these habits became long-term problems.
The Training Approach
Rudy completed a 2-week Board and Train, focusing on obedience, structure, and real-world reliability.
What training focused on
- Teaching Rudy to respond consistently to common commands
- Building duration on place for calm behavior indoors
- Improving leash manners for stress-free walks
- Teaching impulse control around doors and transitions
- Preparing Rudy for early off-leash reliability in safe environments
This type of immersive program is part of the training packages offered by 30A Dog Trainers and is designed to create fast, lasting results.
Throughout the program, Courtney received regular updates, guidance, and reassurance that Rudy was not only being trained, but also well cared for.
The Results
After just two weeks, Rudy’s behavior looked completely different.
What improved
- Rudy listens to all common commands
- He can hold extended place calmly
- Leash walking is controlled and enjoyable
- Door-dashing behavior has improved
- Rudy has shown early off-leash success in safe environments
Most importantly, Courtney felt confident that investing in training was the right decision for Rudy’s future.

Owner Review
“Highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training! Prior to training our 10 month old mix breed puppy knew some common commands, but rarely listened, was awful walking on leash, and would run out the door given the chance. We finally decided to get him the professional training we knew he needed and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision. Two weeks in the board and train program with his trainer, Nate, and he is a different dog. He is listening to all common commands, holding extended place, and walking so well on leash. We have even had him off leash a couple of times, in a safe environment, and he has done so well. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to invest in our pup through this training. Also, Nate is the best and we are so thankful for his guidance and attention to our boy, Rudy!”
