3 Week Off Leash Obedience Program

Reliable off leash obedience for adult dogs 16 weeks and older. Three weeks in our Chattanooga facility, your dog comes home listening on or off leash, around real distractions. Lifetime of the dog support included.

Who the 3 Week Is For

The 3 Week is built for adult dogs that need solid obedience and want to be off leash without dragging an owner around or ignoring a recall.

Best fit:

• Dogs 16 weeks and older
• Healthy temperament without serious reactivity or aggression
• Owners who want reliable off leash behavior in real world environments
• Dogs that struggle with leash pulling, jumping, recall, door manners, or general listening

Not the right program if your dog has bite history, serious dog or human reactivity, severe anxiety, or major behavior modification needs. Those cases belong in the 6 Week program where there is time to do the rehab work properly. We will tell you on the consult.

How the 3 Week Works

Three Weeks, Hands On Every Day

Your dog lives in our facility for three weeks. Training happens every day, not just twice a week. We build obedience layer by layer, starting on leash with food and motivation, moving to the e collar for clarity and reliability, and finishing in real world environments where distractions are part of the picture.

Off Leash Reliability With the E Collar

The e collar is a communication tool, not a punishment device. We use a NePoPo Gold approach. Markers, motivation, structured consequences, release of pressure. Your dog learns commands at a level that holds whether you are at home, at the park, or walking through downtown Chattanooga.

Real World Training

Training that only works in a quiet backyard does not work. We take dogs out to parks, sidewalks, pet stores, and busy streets. Recall around squirrels. Heel past other dogs. Place command with the doorbell going off. The dog you bring home is the dog that listens in the world you actually live in.

Owner Transfer

Three weeks of training on the dog only matters if the owner can hold it. Before your dog goes home, we run a structured transfer with you. You learn the commands, the e collar levels, the corrections, the rewards, the timing. You leave knowing how to maintain everything we built.

What is Included

Three weeks of board and train at our Chattanooga facility, including:

• Off leash obedience: heel, sit, down, place, come, off
• E collar conditioning at low levels with proper introduction
• Loose leash walking with no pulling
• Door and threshold manners
• Crate and structured downtime
• Real world generalization in parks, stores, and busy environments
• Owner transfer lessons before pickup
• Follow up support after your dog goes home
• Lifetime of the dog support: text, call, or in person, Jake comes to you wherever the problem is

What if My Dog Needs More Time

Most dogs are ready to go home at the end of three weeks. A small number need an extra week to lock in reliability, usually harder headed breeds or dogs that walk in with more baggage than the consult uncovered. If that is your dog, we tell you in week two and you can extend a fourth week at a prorated rate. No surprises and no pretending a dog is ready when it is not.

Lifetime of the Dog Support

The training does not end when your dog comes home. As long as you own this dog, you have me. Text, call, and if you are having a problem I cannot solve over the phone, I will come to you.

Your dog is reactive at a new park, I will meet you at the park. The recall is breaking down in the backyard, I will come to the backyard. A new puppy is throwing the whole household off, I will come work the dogs together. A move, a new baby, a houseguest, a tune up before training season. Wherever the problem is, that is where I show up.

This is not a marketing line. Past clients still have me out years after the original program because that is how Anvil K9 works. You bought training. You also bought a trainer who keeps training your dog for as long as you own it.

Pricing and Financing

The 3 Week program is $3,000.

Affirm financing is available. Most clients qualify for terms that put the program at around $260 a month over 12 months. You apply during the booking process, decision in minutes, no impact on your credit to check.

If you want longer term work or your dog is not a fit for the 3 Week, see our 6 Week program for puppies under 16 weeks and dogs with reactivity or behavior challenges.

Common Questions

Will my dog still be the same after the e collar?

Yes. The e collar in our hands is communication, not correction. Dogs come out of the program more confident and more free, not shut down. We do not believe in suppressing a dog. We believe in giving the dog clarity so they can earn freedom.

What if I have never used an e collar?

Most of our clients have not. The owner transfer covers e collar levels, timing, and use. You will leave knowing how to use it. We are also a phone call away after you take your dog home.

Do you guarantee results?

We do not guarantee results because anyone who does is lying to you. A dog is a living animal in a living environment. What we guarantee is that we will do the work, be honest with you the entire time, and give you the tools to keep the dog where you want it.

My dog has some reactivity, is the 3 Week still right?

Maybe. Light leash reactivity in an otherwise stable dog can fit in 3 Weeks. Serious reactivity, aggression, or fear cases need the 6 Week. We will tell you the truth on the consult.

How fast can my dog start?

It depends on the calendar. We take a limited number of dogs and we book ahead. The fastest way to find out is to schedule a free consultation and we will give you a real start date.
