Dog Training in Imperial Point, Fort Lauderdale
Imperial Point is 1,470 mid-century homes on a calm, sidewalk-lined grid tucked between Federal Highway and NE 18th Avenue, with McNab Road and the Pompano Beach line at its back. It’s the kind of neighborhood where everyone walks — retirees at sunrise, young families after dinner — so a dog that pulls, lunges, or barks its way down the block stands out fast. Good news: those are the three most fixable problems in dog training.
- Serving Imperial Point to the Pompano line
- Every age, every size
One Grid, Three Kinds of Dog Owners
Haft-Gaines started building this neighborhood in October 1960 for retirees and snowbirds; today those same single-story homes are just as likely to hold a stroller and a rescue pup. Different households, same sidewalks — and we shape the training plan to whichever one is yours.
New house, new baby, new puppy — often in that order. Puppy programs from $100 handle potty training, crate routines, and bite inhibition for pups 8 weeks to 5 months, before bad habits move in permanently.
Twice around the block, every day, for years. Obedience lessons build the loose-leash heel and bomb-proof recall that turn that routine into the easiest part of your day — from $375.
Plenty of Imperial Point residents retired here with a big young dog. A 70-pound puller is a fall risk; a trained heel removes it. The 2-week board & train installs control for you, then teaches you to keep it.
Your Practice Loops Are Built In
The neighborhood’s 1960s designers left today’s dog owners a gift: continuous sidewalks on quiet streets — ideal low-distraction training ground. When your dog is ready to level up, Dottie Mancini Park (6520 NE 22nd Ave) adds playground noise, a basketball court, and a walking path inside a fully fenced perimeter, and Imperial Point Park at the community’s north end brings its own playground bustle. Passing Broward Health Imperial Point’s traffic on Federal-side walks is the final exam.
Some owners here go further: a steady, people-loving dog can train toward certification with therapy dog preparation — 8 lessons at $1,000. And when the problem is barking or lunging at other dogs on those narrow sidewalks, the reactivity and aggression program is the right door, with in-home lessons available for owners who prefer training on their own street. Full menu on the pricing page.
Whichever route you take, expect homework measured in minutes, not hours: short, daily repetitions on your own loop beat marathon weekend sessions every time. The grid does the rest — same corners, same neighbors, same distractions, gradually mastered until your dog treats the whole neighborhood as one familiar classroom.
“We couldn’t be happier with the results from the 2 week board & train. Our mini golden doodle, Ginger, was very sassy and even aggressive towards other dogs. She still has her loving personality, but with great manners!! She’s able to walk off leash with us and listens to commands. We would highly recommend the training.”
“We sent our two sheebs to a board and train with OLK9 and we couldn’t be any happier… they reassured us constantly with pictures, videos and updates of their training progress. Thank you again so much for all of your hard work and for giving us the tools and guidance to help our dogs be successful!”
