Frequently Asked Questions

🐶 Who is the best dog trainer near Bassett, Virginia for off-leash training?

Leash Legacy K9 Training in Bassett, VA specializes in off-leash obedience using calm, positive reinforcement paired with structured e-collar communication. Our programs are great for reactivity, leash pulling, and focus.

📍 Is there a dog training program where my dog stays with the trainer full-time?

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.

🐾 How long does it take to teach a dog to walk calmly on a leash?

Many dogs improve quickly in our 3–5 Day Kickstart Program. We teach leash manners, heel position, and calm walking with rewards and consistency.

Pricing varies. Our 3–5 Day Kickstart is affordable, while the 6-week Board & Train offers full-service training with lifetime support. Contact us for a quote.

🎯 What should I bring for board and train?

Just your dog’s food, collar, and any meds or treats they love. We provide everything else—including structure, safety, and professional training tools.

📞 How do I sign up for dog training near me?

Text or call us at (276) 229-2625 or visit leashlegacyk9.com to apply. We'll help you choose the right training plan for your pup.

⚡ 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?

Yes! Our training significantly reduces behavioral issues by providing structured exercise, discipline, and mental stimulation, creating a happier and healthier dog.
