Yes! Our 6-week Board & Train program is a full-immersion experience. Your dog lives with us and trains daily to build trust, structure, and off-leash skills.

❤️ Can I train my dog with an e-collar without hurting them?

Absolutely. We only use low-level stimulation as a communication tool—not punishment—paired with praise and rewards for a kind, clear experience.

🆘 What training is best for rescue dogs or dogs with behavior issues?

Our programs are ideal for rescues. We help reset behavior with calm leadership, trust-building, and structured routines that ease anxiety and promote obedience.

⚡ What is an e-collar and how does it work?

An e-collar is a training device controlled by a remote, which delivers gentle stimulation—similar to a tap on the shoulder—to get your dog's attention, enhancing communication and focus without pain.

🐕 Will my dog hate wearing the e-collar?

Nope! Dogs quickly learn to love the e-collar, associating it with fun activities like walks, playtime, and training sessions.

❤️ Will the e-collar hurt my dog?

Absolutely not. The e-collar provides mild stimulation tested on humans, ensuring a safe, humane training experience without pain or injury.

🔁 Do I need to use the e-collar after training?

Yes, ongoing reinforcement helps solidify training. Consistent e-collar use ensures long-term obedience and reliable behavior.

🐶 Do you offer training without the e-collar?

Definitely! We have both private lessons and board-and-train options that don't involve e-collars. Contact us to explore these programs.

👥 Are the lessons private or group classes?

All lessons at Leash Legacy K9 Training are private, ensuring personalized attention tailored specifically to your dog’s needs.

📍 Where do we conduct these private sessions?

Private training sessions are conducted at our specialized facilities in Christiansburg and Vinton, providing effective environments with controlled distractions.

⏳ How much time per day do I need to train my dog?

Initially, we recommend about 35-45 minutes daily for four weeks. After that, integrating training into your daily routine becomes straightforward and effortless.

🗓️ How long does this training take?

Basic Obedience typically requires four one-hour private lessons spread over a month. We also offer intensive 1-3 week Board & Train Programs for faster results.

🐾 At what age can we start e-collar training?

Generally, dogs can start e-collar training at around five months old, ensuring they are mature enough for effective training.

🐶 What if I have a puppy that is not 5 months old?

We offer puppy-friendly programs using marker and treat methods, including private lessons and our popular 3-week Puppy Jump Start residential program.

🐩 What if I have a small dog?

Our training methods, including e-collar training, work effectively for dogs of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to Great Danes!

🏅 Will my dog benefit from this training?
