Welcome to Seize The Leash

Dogs with resolvable dog behavior problems are being discarded and euthanized by the ton here in Tucson. Every day on Craig's List I see ads from people wanting to give up their dog because it doesn't get along with their other dog or because they are having a child or because the dog has "suddenly" started biting or growling at strangers or even family members. (Read our latest success story Dueling Pit Bulls)

It seems to be easier these days to give up on a dog and throw it away. The truth is that most people don't want your problem dog any more then you do. It doesn't have to be this way! Most inappropriate behaviors, such as aggression and destructive behavior, are at least manageable through proper dog behavior training. The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good behavior trainer. A good behavior trainer is not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.

We at Seize The Leash provide positive and practical solutions to canine behavior issues that owners may experience. Through private, in-home sessions and seeing the dog in his own environment, we can develop a customized behavior and training program that is workable for the family and the dog. Teaching the dog new and acceptable behaviors in his home accelerates the learning process by avoiding the additional stressors of a strange place and multiple other dogs in a group class situation.

  • We teach you to cultivate your dog's cooperative and loving nature
  • We teach you to understand how your dog thinks, learns and communicates by helping you to understand the psychology of your canine
  • Our In-Home dog behavior modification programs provide lifetime admission to group classes
  • We Offer Comprehensive and Unique Dog Behavior Training Programs to Fit Your Needs

At Seize The Leash, we empower dog owners by teaching them the skills needed to work as a team with their own dog to resolve any behavior issues that the dog is currently exhibiting. As a dog behavior consultant, we provide the knowledge of what to do about any future behavior challenges that may arise. This is real-life training tailored to meet your needs and the needs of your family and your dog.

Some problems that only dog behavior modification can really solve:

  • Chewing on Furniture or Carpet
  • Barking at Friends or Neighbors
  • Chewing on Plants or Trees
  • Jumping on People, Furniture, or Doors
  • Jumping Over Fences and Walls
  • Digging in the Yard
  • Not Coming When Called
  • Aggression
  • House Soiling
  • Rushing Out of Open Doors
  • Car Sickness
  • Fear of Noises or Objects
  • Fear of People or Other Animals
  • Eating Feces
  • Nipping at Hands or Ankles
  • Biting, Urine Marking, Pulling on Leash, and Many More...

Solving your dog behavior problems may take a renewed commitment on your part, but it can be done. And it's worth it. After all, research shows that most dogs and cats are relinquished to animal shelters—or otherwise given up—because of common behavior problems their families didn't know how to solve. Do not quit on your dog, you are all she has. We offer in home programs for dogs of all breeds, ages, and problems. Our training is tailored to each individual dog, with the owner's goals in mind.

Seize the Leash and tighen the bonds you have with your faithful canine companion. With some effort and patience, you can keep your dog where she belongs-with you - by.utilizing basic canine behavior training to solve all your dog behavior problems.

We are now the official behavior trainer for Tucson Cold Web Noses. Come ask us questions about the behavior of your dog -Ask The Trainer at Tucson Cold Wet Noses Rescue.
