Training in Jackson
Built for how Jackson dogs actually live
Jackson is woods and wide lots. Between Colliers Mills, Prospertown Lake and the pine forest that backs onto so many Jackson yards, plenty of dogs here grow up with deer, rabbits and a lot of room. That is a great life for a dog and a real test of a recall, because a dog that bolts after something in the trees can be a long way gone before you reach the end of the driveway.
Then there is summer traffic. Six Flags Great Adventure brings crowds into town, and Route 537, County Line Road and the roads out to Interstate 195 fill up with them. A dog that pulls, lunges or darts out an open door is a bigger problem on those roads than on a quiet street.
Jackson is also home to a lot of families with big, young dogs. Jumping on the kids, stealing off the counter, pulling on the leash and not coming when called are the calls we get most from this town, and they are exactly what the two week board and train is built around.
Where your dog will shine
- Johnson Park
- Patriots County Park
- Prospertown Lake
- Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area
- Gil Putnam Memorial Park

What Jackson dog owners say
“My 8-month-old Giant Schnauzer was a load to handle. Running through doors, pulling on leash, not listening when he was called, etc. I sent him to Off Leash K9 traing for 2 weeks. Boy what a difference! No more running through doors, walking him is a pleasure.”
Manuel MedinaVerified Google review
“Our Havanese puppy Sophie was barking like crazy, pulling, biting, and just not behaving at all… We were blown away with the results and already have a much more balanced dog and could not be more happy. Thank you Jennifer!”
Joseph VenturaVerified Google review
“Our pup, Tucker, returned a completely different dog. We are able to take him for walks with our other two dogs, without issue. He listens to his recall and finally has household manners like staying on place until he is given the command that he can "break."”

Frequently asked questions
Where do Jackson dogs actually train?
At our facility at 333 Atlantic City Blvd in Bayville, and out in real environments once the commands are solid. Board and train dogs board with their trainer for the whole program, and we never run more than three dogs per trainer at a time.Do you come to my house for lessons in Jackson?
No. Our private lessons are not run inside your house. Our own FAQ page says it plainly: contact your local Off Leash K9 certified trainer for the location of their training, because generally we do not like to train dogs inside the house. Lessons happen where your dog has to behave in real life, and board and train dogs stay with their trainer for the whole program.How old does my dog need to be to start?
Private lessons and our standard board and train programs start at 20 weeks old, which is about five months. Younger puppies have their own track: the one and two week puppy board and train programs are for pups 8 to 20 weeks old, and the Puppy Hybrid Program bridges the gap with puppy lessons now and a two week e-collar board and train once your pup reaches 20 weeks.Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans are available. Call us today at (848) 221-5161 to learn more about payment options. Lesson packages and board and train programs include an e-collar and a training leash, and every price is listed on our plans and pricing page.Get started today
