Orlando Off-Leash Dog Training

Off-leash training is a rewarding process requiring patience, strong communication, and trust between you and your dog. Many owners seek this training to give their pets freedom outdoors, allowing them to roam, explore, and exercise while maintaining control of their behavior and safety.

At Dog Training Elite, we believe off-leash training is about more than freedom. It’s about trust, safety, and reliability. Whether your goal is to enjoy outdoor time together, improve behavior at home, or simply have a calmer, more responsive dog, our off-leash training program in Orlando, FL helps make it happen.

The Benefits of Off-Leash Dog Training

Families across Orlando choose off-leash dog training for all kinds of reasons. Here’s what makes it so impactful:

Dogs who are allowed to move freely get more exercise. They run, jump, explore, and burn energy. This leads to a healthier weight, stronger muscles, and improved endurance. A tired dog is usually a well-behaved dog.
Off-leash training requires your dog to think, make choices, and control their impulses, which improves their confidence and helps reduce anxiety. Many families tell us their dogs seem calmer and more content once they begin off-leash work.
Whether you’re in the backyard, out on a trail, or simply having guests over, you want a dog that knows how to behave. Off-leash training teaches dogs how to greet politely, resist jumping, stay calm around distractions, and respond to direction without being physically restrained.
Emergencies happen. Doors get left open. Leashes get dropped. When your dog knows how to stay with you and come when called, you can rest easier knowing they’re prepared for the unexpected.

What to Expect from Dog Training Elite’s Training Program

Our training is built around real families and real lives. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, we take time to understand your family’s needs, your lifestyle, and your goals with your dog.

Step One: A Personalized Plan

We begin with a free in-home consultation to learn more about your dog’s behavior and your priorities. From there, we create a custom, step-by-step training plan. Whether you live in an apartment or have a large backyard, we’ll help your dog learn to behave off-leash.

Step Two: Real-World Training

We don’t believe in sterile classrooms or unrealistic settings. We train where life happens—in your home, in your yard, and around your neighborhood. That way, your dog learns to respond in the same places where they’ll be expected to behave every day.

Step Three: Mastering Practical Skills

Your dog will learn to:

  • Come immediately when called
  • Walk at your side without pulling
  • Stay focused despite distractions
  • Respond reliably, even with freedom to move

Step Four: Coaching for You, Too

Many families tell us that what made the biggest difference wasn’t just what the dog learned, but what they learned as owners. Our trainers work closely with you to explain every step, demonstrate every technique, and build your confidence. You’ll walk away knowing how to handle your dog with or without a leash.

Step Five: Ongoing Support

Training doesn’t stop when the program ends. We offer ongoing group classes and advanced options to help maintain your dog’s skills and continue their growth. Some families move on to service dog training, therapy dog work, or advanced behavioral skills.

At DTE, our leash and obedience training is built around structure, communication, and confidence, for both you and your dog. We don’t rush the process, and we don’t cut corners. We give families the tools to succeed and the support to sustain it.

    I highly recommend Dog Training Elite in North Orlando. The owner Craig is an outstanding trainer. Craig is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He has helped me train my English crème pass her Public Access Test and is now helping me finish her training to be a service dog for both me and with my husband’s mobility challenges. I can’t say enough good things about Craig and his expertise! I am so grateful to have had this experience training my dog. It’s been very rewarding watching how quickly my dog responds to the positive reinforcement that Dog Training Elite uses in its training program. Thank you Craig!

    We have had an amazing experience working with Craig and his team to train our golden retriever into a diabetic alert dog! We have seen so much progress in her and can’t wait to see how much more she continues to grow!

    We adopted our two-year-old German Shepherd about six months ago, and while she’s an amazing dog, she definitely is high-energy and needed some structure. Working with Craig has been a game changer! Iris has learned so much and the difference in our day-to-day life is incredible. She’s more focused, calmer, and so much easier to communicate with. We still have group classes ahead of us, and we’re excited to continue building on the progress she’s already made. Trainers at DTE are patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do - so thanks to Craig and the whole team at Dog Training Elite Orlando — highly recommend!

    I cannot recommend enough going with Dog Training Elite. I have learned an incredible amount of valuable information on how to best direct my dog Enzo. To train him, learn with him, grow with him. The trainer I have the pleasure of working with is Craig, and he couldn’t be better. Polite, calm, friendly and assertive, he has taught me how to best provide the most successful future for my dog. My dog over the course of the training has vastly improved in his obedience, his attitude, and ability to learn. Every tip and trick is customizable to the specific dog, such as interchangeable phrases and terms. The trainer has taught me as the handler how to correctly encourage my dog, correct my dog, and encourage growth. I went from having a crazy silly puppy to a well trained and well mannered dog that I am working towards getting a certification to be a service dog. It wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for Dog Training Elite! Thank you, a million times over, for helping my dog and I grow into the best team!

    We enrolled in the Puppy to Platinum program with Dog Training Elite North and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. When we began, we were struggling with basic commands and walking routines - both of which improved significantly within the first few sessions. The sessions were hands on, direct and easy to reinforce at home. Over time, we saw our dog become not only more obedient but more confident and relaxed in new situations. That shift has made a meaningful difference in our day to day - for both us and our dog. If you are looking for training that delivers results, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite North, Craig, and their team!! Five stars all day.

    I have a 8 year old Pitbull and she grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats that are no longer around. So whenever she sees a dog or cat she’s barking and wanting to go say hello (bark) to where it’s an issue. I kept seeing Craig’s truck so I gave him a call and he has helped us tremendously. I take her everywhere with me now and under control. To be honest, I really didn’t have high hopes going into this, considering her age. But Craig definitely knows what he’s doing.

    I’ve had a great experience with Craig while training Cairo. While training can be challenging since Cairo has a huge puppy brain, Craig has helped to teach and provide the resources needed to ensure Cairo’s obedience and ability to the service dog test. Cairo is an extra large puppy that is mixed with Cane Corso, German Shepherd, and Husky so it is extra important in choosing a trainer that can help you breakthrough barriers that may be associated with breeds that have a bit more attitude (or are drama queens like Cairo lol). Craig is patient and knowledgeable and makes training a fun process!

    I can’t say enough great things about Craig. He has been working with my dog since she was a puppy, and the results are amazing! He built such strong foundations that have shaped her behavior and confidence. His passion for dogs truly shows in every session. He has so much patience and such a calm, intuitive way with dogs. It’s like he’s a real dog whisperer! He’s also extremely professional, responsible, always on time, incredibly friendly and a really nice person to work with. My dog is completely transformed thanks to his guidance. I’m so grateful for everything he’s done and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and talented trainer.

    Amazing results! My dog, Fenrir, is an exceptionally well-trained dog. Thanks to my trainer, Craig, and Dog Training Elite, Fenrir is able to come with me wherever I take him without causing any issues to the public and myself. I suggest investing into the program as it may help in the future.

    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite! My dog used to eat everything she could find, and I was constantly worried about her safety. He not only helped her stop eating random things but also taught her how to stay calm and focused in public. Now she walks right beside me in public — totally well-behaved, no pulling, no distractions, just confidence and control. I’m so grateful for the time, patience, and care that went into her training. It truly feels like I have a whole new dog. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone struggling — it’s worth every bit! 🐾

    We have a female Belgian Malinois and started training at about 5-6 months old. She was a rescue so we had little knowledge about her parents, she is now just over a year old and become an excellent pup. We did need at home sessions with Craig but she took well to the training almost instantaneously. She is still a bit reactive in specific scenarios but is now under control. While we have had plenty of dogs in the past, this was our first Belgian and we’re glad we got professional help early…her drive, energy, and want to work are amazing but needed some guidance and control.

    I am very happy with the results of my Irish Doodle training, it is giving excellent results, apart from the classes having the opportunity of group meetings in the park and training there are being very helpful for him and form me too. I recommend 💯 this school.

    I would highly recommend Dog training Elite north Orlando! We worked with Craig the trainer and our 8year old pitty. Before training with them our dog was very reactive and mouthy when she would see other dogs wanting to play with them (we pretty much couldn’t take her anywhere) So we did the 1 on 1 home training first. & now She attends the group classes! She goes everywhere with us! She is so good on our walks & Listens very well! I will say it is a 2 sided road you Must also put in the work with your pup and be Consistent! So if you are on the fence about hiring them, go ahead and do it you won’t regret it!
