Off-Leash Control Program – 1:1 Training (Werribee)
 
About the Course
Our Off-Leash Control Program is a personalised, results-focused training program designed to help your dog respond reliably at a distance, giving you confidence and peace of mind when enjoying off-leash freedom.
This is more than just a series of training sessions. It is a structured program designed to build advanced skills, strengthen your connection with your dog, and develop reliable off-leash control in real-world environments.
Your package includes 3 x 60-minute private training sessions, beginning at Nicole's purpose-designed home training space in Werribee before progressing to the nearby local parklands. This gradual approach allows your dog to build confidence and reliability in a supportive environment before practising skills in everyday public spaces.
The whole household is welcome to attend each session, ensuring everyone learns the same skills and can confidently support your dog's training.
 
How it Works
Training begins in the private training space, where we focus on building clear communication, engagement and reliable responses in a calm, structured environment.
As your dog progresses, we'll take a short walk to the nearby local parklands to practise these skills around the everyday distractions you'll encounter on normal walks. This gradual progression allows both dogs and their handlers to build confidence before working in more challenging environments.

Why This Works
Reliable off-leash control is about much more than teaching recall. It requires clear communication, consistency and the ability to work confidently through everyday distractions. By combining structured private coaching with gradual exposure to real-life environments, this program helps build lasting reliability and confidence for both you and your dog.
 
Who This Is For
This program is ideal for dogs who already have a solid foundation in basic manners and are ready to progress to more advanced off-leash skills.
Dogs must have completed the Planet K9 Basic Manners Course before enrolling.
