If you've ever dreamed of enjoying a walk through the heart of Indianapolis without constantly gripping your dog's leash, you're not alone. Off-leash freedom isn't just about convenience—it's about trust, communication, and safety. At Big N' Small Paws 317, our off-leash dog training in Indianapolis empowers pet parents to live life unbound—with dogs who listen the first time, every time.

Why Off-Leash Training Matters

A well-trained off-leash dog can enjoy more of life—trails, brewery patios, dog-friendly shops, or even your unfenced yard. But the stakes are high. Without a reliable recall, one distraction could turn into a dangerous situation. That's why our training is built on real-world proofing, not just backyard basics.

We teach dogs how to:

-Stay focused even around other dogs, wildlife, or city traffic

-Respond to commands without being tethered

-Build engagement with their handler no matter the distraction

-Maintain boundaries—even off leash

What Makes Our Off-Leash Program Different?

Most programs stop at obedience. We go further.

At Big N' Small Paws 317, we use a balanced training approach and test your dog in real environments. Whether we're walking through the residential-industrial blend near our training center or working outside breweries, trails, or events—you can expect your dog to graduate with real skills that hold up in the real world.

Our step-by-step process includes:

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

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

3.Public Proofing (practice in high-distraction areas)

4.Off-Leash Certification & Graduation

Who Is This For?

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

-Dogs 6 months and older with basic obedience

-Pet parents who enjoy hikes, brewery outings, or just peace of mind

-Previously trained dogs needing a tune-up -Reactive or anxious dogs needing controlled off-leash work

If your dog is a little stubborn, a little bold, or just too excited to listen—good news: those are our favorite dogs to train.
