Big N' Small Paws 317 offers professional off-leash dog training in Indianapolis, helping dogs achieve reliable control and calm confidence — even around city distractions. Our balanced approach builds trust, focus, and real-world obedience so dogs can enjoy freedom safely across Indianapolis, Lawrence, and nearby Eastside neighborhoods.

Every Indianapolis dog owner dreams of a walk through Downtown Indy, Broad Ripple Park, or Fort Harrison without the constant pull of a leash. At Big N' Small Paws 317, we make that freedom a reality through structure, communication, and trust.
Our off-leash dog training in Indianapolis helps dogs stay responsive and confident in busy, unpredictable settings — from brewery patios to trailheads. This isn't just obedience; it's a new level of teamwork between you and your dog.

Indianapolis life is full of distractions — cyclists on the Monon Trail, other dogs at Ellenberger Park, or cars passing through Lawrence neighborhoods. That's why true reliability matters.
A well-trained off-leash dog can:

• Navigate the city with calm control
  
• Respond instantly, even in stimulating environments
• Build lasting confidence and trust through positive structure

At Big N' Small Paws 317, our goal is simple: a dog who listens anywhere, every time.

Many trainers stop at obedience. We go further.
Our Indianapolis trainers specialize in balanced, real-world obedience that prepares your dog for distractions — not just classroom drills. Whether we're training near Broad Ripple, walking the Eastside trails, or socializing in urban areas, every lesson builds confidence and control in practical environments.

Our step-by-step process includes:

1. Foundational Obedience (Sit, Stay, Heel, Recall)

2. E-Collar Conditioning (safe, pressure-free communication)

3. Public Proofing (training in high-distraction city settings)

4. Off-Leash Certification & Graduation

Our off-leash dog training in Indianapolis is perfect for:

• Dogs 6 months or older with basic obedience
  
• Pet parents who love outdoor adventures or city walks
• Owners seeking reliable recall and calm behavior in public
• Families who want structure, trust, and peace of mind

From Lawrence to Downtown Indy, our program is designed to make freedom feel safe — for you and your dog.
