Addressing Leash Pulling

Leash pulling is a common issue that many dog owners face. It can turn a pleasant walk into a frustrating battle. At Sit Happens Nashville, we address leash pulling by:

  1. Understanding the Root Cause

    • We assess your dog’s behavior to understand why they are pulling on the leash. This can include excitement, anxiety, or a lack of proper training.
  2. Implementing Positive Reinforcement

    • Our training methods focus on positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. We reward your dog for walking calmly by your side, making the learning process enjoyable and effective.
  3. Teaching Proper Walking Techniques

    • We teach you and your dog proper walking techniques, including the correct use of the leash and how to respond to distractions. This ensures that you can maintain control during walks.
  4. Building a Strong Foundation

    • We focus on building a strong foundation of obedience and respect. This includes basic commands and establishing your role as the leader in your dog’s eyes.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Dave is amazing!! He changed my dog and I’s lives! He is reliable and hard working. His work not only trains the dog but more especially the owner on how to handle their dog. I would give 6 stars if possible! Thank you Dave!

Dave helped us immensely with our five-year-old Yorkie mix, Max. Max's behavior at the door, getting the leash on, getting the muzzle on for vet visits -- all that and more had gotten incredibly difficult. We saw *significant* improvements -- in just a couple of weeks -- with minor changes to our behavior and patterns. Dave is both personable and results-oriented, while also demonstrating his love for dogs, including ours. We recommend Dave!

We are so glad we met Dave! We adopted a puppy 4 weeks ago, and he has been a HUGE support for us integrating Merlin into our family. He has taught us how to get started training early, and he has responded very fast to any questions we have outside of our sessions. We can't wait to continue working with our new addition to get him trained off-leash like Dave's dog. We can't recommend him enough!

I LOVE Dave! I've known him 5 years and I still go back to him with questions, he is committed, responsive and just gets it. He has been my Go To trainer for my 5 year old Weimaraner Grace Olivia from the moment I brought her home - from the beginning he showed so much care and concern for my girl, and she is AMAZING because of his efforts to train me! I am getting a new puppy soon and you better believe he/she will be a Sit Happens graduate as well!
