When it comes to keeping us safe, K9s are indispensable. From detecting drugs and apprehending criminals to tracking missing people, these highly trained dogs help us daily.
Of course, not every dog has what it takes to be a K9. But with the right training, your dog will be able to reach their full potential. At All Dogs Unleashed, our expert K9 trainers specialize in training that really works — even when you’re away from your dog!
Foundational Training: Obedience
Before any K9 can succeed through special dog training, they must understand basic obedience. Our structured environment and daily training sessions help your dog learn and internalize everything they need to know before moving on to specialized K9 training. Our obedience training covers the following:
- Coming when called
- Sitting and staying
- Not pulling on the leash
- Potty training
- Understanding boundaries
- Not jumping
- Off-leash control
- Not digging/chewing
- Not biting
All Dogs Unleashed trainers are qualified to work with any breed of dog. They also can address and solve any behavior issues your dog may have. Don’t let behavioral challenges stand in the way of your dog becoming a K9!
Our K9 trainers will work with your dog in one of two ways. With our board and train program, your dog stays with us for two weeks during training. After the two weeks, we’ll spend a few hours with you and your dog to make sure you understand the training and can reinforce it as needed.
We also offer personalized, one-on-one training sessions at your home or business. With these training sessions, our expert dog trainers can work with you as frequently as needed and achieve the same results you would get with boarding and training. With this option, you’ll also have the opportunity to work with your dog and practice the training methods during each session.
At All Dogs Unleashed, we stand behind our training practices. That’s why we offer unlimited follow-up training throughout your dog’s life!
Special Dog Training
Once dogs have successfully completed obedience training, they’re ready for the next step: K9 or guard dog training. We can work with you and your K9 to build several critical skills.
Suspect Apprehension
Police dogs often have to tackle and hold down suspects who flee from police. However, training them to do that is a lot more complex than just issuing an “attack” command. K9s learn to use appropriate force and to apprehend suspects without causing very serious injury.
Training in this area is critically important, as defense attorneys often accuse K9s of using excessive force when apprehending suspects. In these cases, thorough training records are often enough to convince a judge that the dog and handler acted appropriately.
Tracking Missing Persons
This is one of the most important things a K9 does, and our expert dog trainers can help your dog track a person’s location based on an example scent. We start by teaching your dog to locate a nearby person, then gradually extend the length and time of the search. Upon completion of our program, your dog will be able to successfully pick up and track scents.
Tuning Out Real-World Distractions
Any dog can get distracted by screaming children or cars whizzing by, but K9s need to be able to ignore these and other distractions. The best K9s are always alert and focused on the job, but that doesn’t always come naturally.
Instead, both K9s and service dogs go through “distraction training.” With this type of training, our trainers will take your dog through progressive, more disruptive visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory distractions. For example, we can teach your up-and-coming K9 to ignore the smell of a nearby steak and disregard strangers trying to pet them.
Working as a Team
Of course, K9s don’t work alone — each one has a dedicated handler. And for that partnership to be successful, both dog and handler must learn to work together. Our trainers work with dogs and handlers at the same time. They help new handlers understand commands and assist veteran handlers as they get to know their new dogs.

Did you know that the United States has the most sizable population of dogs when compared to every other country in the world? That’s not a random coincidence, but rather due to the fact that dogs are man’s best buddy. Their unprecedented loyalty, ability to forgive, and amiable character ranks them as one of humans’ most beloved domestic pets. Maybe you’ve found yourself with one of these venerated creatures, or perhaps you’re considering rescuing or purchasing a dog.
Here at All Dogs Unleashed, we know that for many people, their puppy is an extremely important part of their life. Analogous to raising a child, you want your puppy to be loved, cared for, and hopefully well-behaved. These characteristics don’t develop on their own; they require time, attention, and intentional training. If you’re looking for help in raising your puppy, training them, socialization time for your dog, or other services, come check us out for some of the most advanced K9 training in Fort Worth!
Like any type of training that you do, you hope to see results. At All Dogs Unleashed, your dog will receive exceptional, results-oriented training. We have developed a program that contrasts traditional dog-training techniques. We are able to direct them in way that suits each dog and is rooted in altering their behavior and obedience. Dogs will typically be obedient in the presence of their owners, but for other individuals, they will not listen. This is the principle on which our training system is established. We actually instruct the dog to be able to teach itself, which eliminates the problems that occur due to the owners not being present.
Our two-week intensive dog-training course takes place in a highly structured environment in which your dog receives direction, stimulation, and necessary attention. Here are some of the behaviors that are addressed: house training, puppy biting, boundaries, barking, staying off of furniture, pulling on the leash, coming when called, jumping on other people, chewing, and digging. After two weeks, the dog training is complete, but the job isn’t finished yet! Now we have to train you. Consistency is extremely important when it comes to animal obedience. We don’t exit the picture until the owners are comfortable with the training system.
Though our boarding services do not directly train dogs, the time that they spend here will provide them with a positive social and learning environment. You can be reassured that your “best friend” will be well taken care of, comfortable and safe. The 4 x 4 kennels (or 4 x 6 for two dogs from the same household) are cleaned daily and kept at pleasant temperatures for your canine. The food and water bowls are elevated so as not to spill in their comfy beds and they’ll be surrounded by soothing sounds of music. Doggie Daycare is also provided to our canine boarding guests. During the day, they’ll be busy socializing, playing and being pampered. All dogs must be spayed or neutered after seven months and provide proof of updated vaccines such as rabies, Bordetella (updated every six months) and Parvo.
All Dogs Unleashed is Dallas/Fort Worth’s answer to your dog’s every need. We pride ourselves on providing your pooch with state-of-the-art areas for training, boarding, day care, grooming and most important, your peace of mind when you have to be away from your beloved dog.
