Tuscaloosa Dog Training FAQ
How far is Off Leash K9 from Tuscaloosa?
Tuscaloosa is about 50 minutes southwest of our Pelham facility via I-20/59. Our training facility is at 241 Commerce Pkwy, Pelham, AL 35124. Tuscaloosa families come to us for board-and-train, and we also offer in-home training throughout Tuscaloosa.
Do you offer in-home dog training in Tuscaloosa?
Yes. In-home training is one of our most-requested options for Tuscaloosa families — we train your dog in the exact environment where it lives. In-Home Basic starts at $850 for 4 weeks. Board-and-train clients drive to our nearby Pelham facility.
Can my dog be off-leash reliable on the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk?
The Riverwalk is a strong proofing environment: open water, cyclists, runners and heavy weekend foot traffic. We build recall and a held place that survive that. Tuscaloosa graduates also work at Munny Sokol Park and Snow Hinton Park, which give more space for distance recall.
Can you train my dog while I am in class at the University of Alabama?
Yes, and this is one of the main reasons Tuscaloosa owners choose board and train. Tuscaloosa is about fifty minutes from our Pelham facility by I-20/59, so a single drop-off and a single pick-up covers the whole two weeks. Your dog comes back trained and you lose no class time. Call (205) 402-8448 to arrange the drop-off.
