Off-Leash Dog Training

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.

How Sit Means Sit Trains Dogs Off-Leash

Sit Means Sit Charleston’s trainers will use effective, trusted methods to optimize your dog’s off-leash behavior. Generally, such training involves:

  • Foundational training with a leash.
  • Utilizing the “sit” command as a confidence tool.
  • Low-level e-collar stimulation to redirect attention.

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.

Salvatore was great! He was on time, patient and encouraging. My dog took to him right away. Brazzie listens to me now and does not show anxiety towards other animals.
I brought my first dog here to help train with her aggression and within the first week I noticed such a difference with her attention and behavior! The trainers here are diligent and really show you how facilitate the training at home! Our puppy kai is always getting compliments of how well behaved he is around other people and I couldn’t of gotten him to this point without their guidance and training!
My dog, Roux, completed her day train program today and our experience has been great! From her puppy classes through 5 weeks of day train she has learned a lot and demonstrated her intelligence and trainability! The trainers are very knowledgeable and work around your dogs strengths and weaknesses and maximize on their full potential not just the basics.
