Unique Ashland City Training Considerations:
Water Safety Priority: With water on three sides of Ashland City, we emphasize water safety training. Dogs learn controlled water entry, swimming recall, and how to safely navigate docks and boats.
Wildlife Management: The Cumberland River corridor attracts deer, turkey, waterfowl, and even bald eagles. We train dogs to ignore wildlife while maintaining their alertness for legitimate concerns.
Seasonal Lake Traffic: Summer brings heavy boat traffic, swimmers, and tourists to Cheatham Lake. We prepare dogs for the dramatic seasonal changes in activity levels around waterfront properties.
Storm & Flooding Response: Living near the Cumberland River means dealing with occasional flooding and severe storms. We include emergency response training so your dog remains calm and obedient during weather events.

"Living on Cheatham Lake, our Golden Retriever was constantly jumping off our dock chasing boats. After training with Off Leash K9, she now stays on the dock until released, comes immediately when called from swimming, and even helps carry fishing gear without stealing bait! Best investment for lake living we've ever made."
