Off-Leash Dog Training
Helping dogs explore their world safely.
Your dog deserves to have the freedom to explore their world, but they need to be trained to do it safely. If you want to ensure your dog still behaves obediently without their leash, then off-leash training may be the solution.
Through off-leash training, your dog will gain control over some of their more reactive impulses and learn to respond to commands while not physically tethered to you. Moreover, off-leash training can help your dog behave more calmly in stimulating environments like dog parks, hiking trails, or even large backyards. They’ll therefore be better able to focus on you and avoid distractions that may lead them to danger zones. By equipping your dog to behave well when confronted with off-leash stimuli, we can help them reduce anxiety and feel more secure, friendly and engaged in new situations.
Sit Means Sit Charleston’s trainers will use effective, trusted methods to optimize your dog’s off-leash behavior. Generally, such training involves:
Our goal is to help your dog develop consistent command responses that strengthen their bond of understanding with you when off-leash. That way, they’ll be able to maintain their independence while understanding the parameters set by your commands.
At Sit Means Sit Charleston, we utilize positive reinforcement, consistent practice and customized training strategies to provide:
Our dog trainers have decades of combined experience. From their very first class, your dog will work with some of Charleston’s most elite trainers, each of whom has experience training dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments.
To make training time as effective as possible, we’ll thoroughly assess each pup’s strengths, areas for improvement, and learning patterns. Plus, we’ll use plenty of encouragement and positive reinforcement to ensure dogs feel secure as they grow their skills.
Most dogs learn best when they feel encouraged. We work hard to understand your dog’s unique personality and needs, and will work with them in a supportive, caring, understanding environment that they may not find elsewhere.
Combining positive reinforcement with gentle corrective measures, we ensure that each session is both educational and enjoyable for your best friend.
Your dog’s training plan is as important to us as it is to you. We’ll ensure you’re kept up to date on their progress and gain important tips to help them maintain skills outside of class.
Our facilities are designed to be welcoming spaces where your dog can feel safe coming out of their shell and expanding their comfort zone.
