Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City, UT helps make it happen.

The Benefits of Off-Leash Dog Training

Families across Salt Lake City 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.

Ready to see what your dog can do? Contact Dog Training Elite today to schedule your free consultation. We’ll help you create a plan that fits your life, supports your dog, and gives you both the freedom to enjoy each other more than ever because life is better with a trained dog!

    I have a smart, sneaky dog who has responded so well to training with DTE and private sessions with Dallin. My dog and I have better boundaries, behavior, and understanding now. It gives me priceless peace of mind.

    Dallin came to our home for a training session, and I’m amazed with the amount of training that we could cover in the time he was here! Luna is so smart and does a great job when she has a focus, but she is our most anxious dog by far! Just seeing her reactions to noises in our home, he was able to suggest and practice some things to help build confidence. He gave us so many suggestions on how to help her through firework season, I’m really excited to help her feel calmer during those really big stresses! Dallin took us on a walk, and was not only able to help with Luna’s confidence while walking, but mine too! In just a short walk down the street and some practice, there was a significant difference in how Luna reacted to other dogs! We’ve been struggling to keep Luna’s muzzle on, but Dallin helped us work through the big issues! Thank you so much DTE, and Dallin for all you’ve done for us! We are so excited to see her continual growth!!

    Excellent presentation. We look forward to the training program. Jeff was great at explaining the program and demonstrating with his dog. We are excited to get started.Dallin did a great job training our Duke. He was exhausted after his first session 😊 Second session with Meggie. Duke loved Meggie. She taught him how to place. Now no more barking and charging the door. She was patient with Duke but he caught on pretty quick. She is a great trainer. Thank you! Third lesson with Meggie. She is so patient with our boy Duke. He did so good with his sits and door manners. He was great walking and sitting with Happy!!! Thanks so much Duke is learning so much!

    Great experience with Dog Training Elite! McCall was the handler with our American Akita for two weeks. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about dogs. From day one, she took the time to understand our dog’s unique personality and tailored the training to fit his needs. American Akitas can be very stubborn and that was definitely the case with our dog. We saw a huge improvement in behavior, focus, and confidence after just a few sessions. What really stood out was her ability to teach us how to better communicate with our dog — it made all the difference. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely caring dog trainer.

    Dog Training Elite were wonderful trainers and I would recommend them to anyone who loves their dog. Our little one year old miniature Shih Tzu weighs 4.2 pounds and we were scared that he might not get the help he needed. And, it seemed very expensive to us. BUT, not only did he get the best help but the price now seems very reasonable for what we have gained. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants their dog trained. These people LOVE dogs and it shows!!

    Dallin is above and beyond! You can tell he is a true dog lover, and someone who will ACTUALLY make a difference in a dogs life. Within 30 minutes, I knew that this was the company to train my little dog and hopefully get him on the way to service training. When they say “the last dog trainer you’ll ever need” they mean it. Every single person I’ve worked with at the studio has been WONDERFUL and truly have outdone the training expectations. I feel so confident in their program I would recommend it to anyone no matter what dog they have. I’m so grateful to have found such incredible people!!! Thank you DTE!!!

    Dallin has worked wonders for pup! Dwayne has come so far and continues to improve every session and every group class! I was skeptical of the group class at first because our dog had some reactivity issues, but after 4 classes with Dallin, Meggie and Jeff- we have seen a world of difference! Dallin listens to what is important to us (like taking our dog on trails, etc) and he brought Matilda tonight and we were able to have the best little hike with them both while working on skills!

    Jeff gave us confidence that the training program will work for our lab! His attitude was very positive, and, after he demonstrated some behaviors with his own dog and showed us the collar used, we felt sure this was the right place for Ruby! We like the combination of at-home and in class training and the option for spot checks and help down the road.
