Leash Training That Makes Walks Enjoyable

Are walks with your dog harder than they should be? Do they pull on their leash or lunge at other dogs?


We’ll send an experienced, certified dog trainer to your home to evaluate your puppy’s behavior and recommend a personalized training plan.  

What To Expect From Leash Training

Going for walks with your dog should be enjoyable, not stressful. Leash training helps your dog learn to walk calmly by your side, making your walks together safer and more enjoyable. It cuts down on the chances of your dog running off, pulling, or getting into trouble.


With good leash training, your dog is much easier to handle, especially in busy or unpredictable places. You can guide them away from jumping on people, chasing other animals, or wandering into unsafe areas.


Your dog will learn how to:


  • Walk on a leash without pulling
  • Walk peacefully near other dogs
  • Walk without barking at people or animals
  • Walk at your preferred pace
  • Go to the bathroom in the right areas


At Sit Happens, we do things differently. That’s why we’ve been Jacksonville’s leading dog trainers since 2012, with over 10,000 happy, well-trained dogs to our name.


While standard training might teach your dog to follow commands, we go beyond that. Our approach is all about your dog’s overall wellbeing— helping them feel at ease in their surroundings and strengthening their bond with you.


And because you are your dog’s best friend, you’ll be a crucial part of their training. We’ll integrate you and your family into your dog’s lessons so you can build an unbreakable bond with your furry companion.
