Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas, NV helps make it happen.

The Benefits of Off-Leash Dog Training

Families across Las Vegas 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.

You don’t need to hike remote trails or break leash laws to benefit from off-leash dog training. If your dog ever spends time in the house, the yard, or anywhere they aren’t physically tethered to you, they should know how to behave without a leash. It makes life easier, safer, and a whole lot more enjoyable.

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.

    Nick, with Dog Training Elite, was A-MAZing! We received his name as a referral and ran with it. We have TWO frenchies, who were a bit crazy...at only 11 months old. Our goal was not to train them on all things, but to have them listen, interact with guests, follow a series of commands, and be well behaved in our busy home. Nick did such a great job training our family, working with our dogs and educating us. We are excited to participate in the group classes moving forward. His kindness, expertise, and knowledge served our Cash and Annie so well. Thank you for helping us and making being a dog owner even more pleasant!

    Nick was a phenomenal trainer! He was flexible with scheduling, patient as he guided us to give clear consistent training and last but not least, affordable! I finally have a family member who is also the service dog I have needed for years but could not afford. Thank you Dog Training Elite Southwest for improving my quality of life!

    I am a first time dog owner and my Bernedoodle kind of fell into my lap one day and never left. The 1.5 year old puppy needed training in obedience and just the basics. I had no idea what I was doing and turned to Dog Elite Training. Colin was our trainer and I learned as much as my dog did. My puppy has made so much progress in the one-on-one sessions. Within a week of starting training, the most problematic behavior Colin addressed was dramatically improved. I would highly recommend Colin as a trainer. He is patient and is not an aggressive trainer as the prior one I attempted to have was. My dog loves Colin and has learned so much.

    Nick Smith is the best dog trainer we have ever had. Over decades as dog owners, we've had numerous dog trainers and by far, Nick's patience and love for dogs shines through. We had recently adopted a pitbull from the shelter that had severe anxiety issues. There was some destructive behavior because of separation anxiety. We started training with Nick and our dog changed overnight. She's in therapy dog training with him right now and I cannot explain how much she enjoys going through her training regime each day. I implore people to get Nick to train their dog if they're having issues because you will not regret it.

    We were incredibly lucky to welcome our goldendoodle, Fozzie, into our family at just 4 months old. As he grew (and grew!), his energy and strength became a challenge — especially with him jumping on guests and pulling on the leash when our kids walked him. More than just obedience, we were looking for a lifestyle change. I didn’t want to keep taking Fozzie out while constantly worrying about his behavior instead of enjoying the moment. Several coworkers recommended Nick’s dog training company, and after seeing the results firsthand, we decided to reach out. From our very first consultation, we knew we were in good hands. Nick immediately connected with our family and with Fozzie, and he created a training plan tailored specifically to our needs. Within just the first two sessions, the biggest concerns — leash pulling, jumping — had already improved dramatically. The remaining sessions helped us build a whole new rhythm with Fozzie. He now responds to commands like come, off, place, heel, stay, and lay down, and he even walks off-leash with confidence and control. It’s important to say this: Nick gives you the tools and structure, but it’s the consistency at home that brings lasting change. That balance is what makes his approach so effective — it’s not just about training the dog, but about equipping the whole family. A few more things we loved: 1. Nick worked with our sons as well, showing them the same patience and guidance he gave Fozzie. 2. Even after the 5 private sessions, he offers Saturday group classes to continue building skills and socialization. 3. He’s reliable and flexible — scheduling was always smooth, and he never canceled or no-showed, which means a lot to a busy family of five. 4. He makes it all feel doable. His calm, patient approach builds confidence in both people and pups. We truly couldn’t recommend Nick more. If you’re looking not just for training, but for a real lifestyle shift with your dog, don’t hesitate to reach out to him. 5 stars

Highly recommend !!

    Nick, the owner and trainer, for Dog Elite Training, worked wonders with our Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mixed breed; named Buddy. Nick provided five in person training sessions, and we are in the midst of 12 group lessons, for Buddy. Buddy was a shy 15 month old puppy when Nick started training him. Nick brought Buddy out of his shell. Buddy gained confidence in learning how to come to his name, sit, lie down, go to place, break from place, heal, and use the dog door. We work with Buddy on what was learned, and continue to take him to group sessions. Now Buddy is a confident and loving dog. Thanks Nick!

    Nick is patient and has a calm demeanor that makes it easy for my dog to trust him. He is a great teacher and gives me the tools to continue training until our next session. I’ve recommended him to others without hesitation. Amazing service!

    Nick did awesome job training my wife and me in techniques for how to train our dog. Nick used techniques for training that has helped Merlin be the best dog ever. When meeting up with other dog walkers and people on the street, they all comment about how well trained Merlin is. I credit that to the basics that Nick taught us. We would not hesitate to recommend Nick and his staff train your dog. Next group training session at the park was very helpful as well. Ask him about it.

    Nick of Dog Training Elite is on time and is responsive to questions I have as a first-time dog owner. The training he provided was well-paced and practical. I appreciate his availability to attend group training for refresher training and socialization with others dogs, even after the individual sessions are utilized. Nick is pleasant and firm with each of the dogs at the group training, and consistently caring.

    My dog Wilson was trained by Nick. Wilson gets many compliments on his behavior in public. Nick takes the time to educate us on how best to handle circumstances that Wilson might encounter. He follows up on Wilson’s progress and even offers weekend group classes. I would highly recommend Nick.

    When we brought our 8-week-old English lab pups home I knew I wanted professional help with training. Nick went above and beyond our expectations. We did the work. Two years later, my girls are the most responsive dogs I've ever known. Nick's technique and approach are unmatched. I've known him to train the most challenging dogs. While mine were easy by Nick's standards, you owe it to yourself to invite him to make dog ownership all you ever dreamed it could be, and more.

    Nick is doing a wonderful job training my mother in laws Yorkie! Last week was the first time Penny didn’t try to turn my pants in to shorts when we came to visit! I thought she had gotten a new dog! Dog Training Elite and Nick are the best trainers, they not only train dogs but mother in laws too!

    Working with Nick was an excellent experience! When our son started walking his relationship with our dog went downhill fast. Nick gave us simple but effective tools to keep everyone safe and build a better relationship between the two. The weekly group sessions are a great way to keep the training relevant and front-of-mind. Highly recommend!

    Nick was incredible with my dog, Kaya. He showed me what to do with her when she gets too excited around other dogs. My favorite was learning heel, and noticing how fast she picked up on it. If you’re looking for a place to help you and your dogs, your search is over! Thanks again, Nick!

    I knew there would be obstacles adopting a young rescue shepherd from the Animal Foundation so I immediately reached out to Nick to see if he could help. I am so pleased with the experience I have had with both at home sessions as well as group training. Wynnie has made tremendous progress with basic training commands (sit, stay, heel) and has overcome the obstacle of learning to play nicely with her 12-year-old dog brother at home. The socialization skills she has gained in the group setting have made me comfortable enough to bring her out in public and to the dog park. Nick does a wonderful job accessing the needs of your dog at each session and making sure to leave you with knowledge and homework to maintain the work put in during the session. I would 100% recommend this program as it not only teaches the animal but more importantly the owner so much. Thank you Nick!

    I highly recommend Nick with Dog Training Elite. He is knowledgeable, professional, personable, and training with him has been such a success for my mini dachshund, Desi. She is a therapy dog and I have so much confidence in the skills Nick has helped us with. She is attentive and off leash most of the day and I have full confidence in this due to the skills she's learned with Nick's guidance. The skills he's helped us with has made her progression into the office such a breeze. The ability to go to the group classes ongoing is so helpful to keep her skills sharp and continue to socialize with other dogs as well. Not only did he help her with baseline obedience training but she has also mastered following through with therapeutic commands as well. Any questions I have, he always has a plan ready to deal with it. Could not recommend enough!
