Training Method

The OLK9 method uses marker training and specializes in e-collar training to achieve reliable off-leash obedience. Private lessons build commands such as Sit, Heel, Down, Off, and Place, combining e-collar work with positive reinforcement. Rather than starting with obedience drills, trainers first focus on changing the dog's perception and helping it learn to think clearly and make correct choices, introducing structured obedience once the dog is emotionally stable. The Pennsylvania locations are staffed by a team of full-time trainers, making this a good fit for owners near Scranton seeking off-leash reliability or help with reactivity and aggression.
