Seize The Leash Services - Group Behavior Training Testimonials Also view our One-On-One Training Testimonials From RM on Facebook 10/27/10: This may not seem like much to most, but this is Karli loose leash walking reliably for the 1st time in her 10 years of life. And we haven't even spent much time working on leash manners! It's just the natural outcome of her focus on me -- which she's been learning in Sieze the Leash's behavior class! From CP: Do you really think that program would help with mine? She goes into panic-mode any time we pass a bigger dog on our walks. She turns into a completely different dog, and I feel bad for her because I know it's only since what happened. Because didn't you send me pictures of her curled up with your pit bulls!? Did she act that way with them at first and get better? Or is this new? :( From RM: I really, really recommend Jamie's behavior class. It's specifically designed for reactive dogs -- which is exactly the behavior you're describing. It's a process, not a magical cure. They first learn to focus on you and look to you for ...guidance. That makes them less reactive. You then work when them on confidence building exercises and densensitizing them to whatever they are reactive too. Both Theta and Karli have been through the class and have benefited tremendously. Let me know if you consider taking one of the classes with Jersey down the road, I'd love to take the class with you! http://seizetheleash.net/
Comments: Thank you, I have much more confidence in my dogs behavior and how to handle it.
What was the initial reason you decided to enroll in the Group Behavior Class? What was the single most important reason for choosing Seize the Leash? Comments: I thank you for the hands on approach and training me to teach my dog and saving her from the fate of so many pits in Tucson. Danke Schon - Thank you :) T
Pinky will be continuing her journey with us. She has come a long way - from circling the class at the farthest reaches of the field we train at with muzzle and pinch collar on, to actually being under the ramada with all the other dogs and people and even trying to play with a few of the dogs. She still has some fear reactivity to handle and so will be redoing the behavior class so she gets the full benefit. News from Pinky 7/26/2010: Hallo Jamie,
Yes I overslept because I was not feeling well I have high blood pressure and the hummity was getting to me ..but we will be in class next Saturday...I made it up to Pinky we had a doggie day at the park and we saw kids , dogs , teenagers and she did really really well...
Thank you for your support...

Terri Goddard, Coordinator for Tucson Cold Wet Noses 7/20/2010 This is Hilda. She appears to be a heeler mix of somesort. Hilda has some physical problems with her hind legs and hips and doesn't like moving very much. She is now doing well on her walks, is greeting most new dogs appropriately and only resorts to nipping when the other dog acts up. She does have a problem with nipping at fast moving small people (kids), but her foster is working on that. You can see Tye's story here
We attended the tiny tyrants class. My beagle was fear aggressive towards dogs and people. The course helped me to understand how to prevent and correct my dog's actions. We were given information packets covering the material every week which I found interesting and helpful. We had fun too.

Seize The Leash Services - Round Robin Testimonials Thank you Jamie. You're right of course and we will continue. It is the best way to keep Milo on the path of becoming the best he can be. Every other behavior makes me think he is nearly a perfect dog. But then I am a little biased. He learns so quickly too. Oddly enough, when little dogs come up to meet him he is so gentle. I feel like we have found the training group that we belong in. Thanks again. JK 8/30/2009 I had a great time this morning and I was so impressed with the class this morning, it was really fun. Can't wait to do it gain. We even got to practice greeting again one more time with an elderly gentleman and his little dog after you left. Bring your business cards and I'll pass them around the northwest side. SM 10/11/2009

Stanley: My dog received training from Jamie when he was around a year old. He was very hyperactive, unfocused and didn't listen to me very well when we were on walks and when we were out he was very distracted by other dogs. We learned training methods for focus and calming and he is now a much more mellow and well behaved dog. I learned how to better control him on our walks, making them much more enjoyable! The training classes helped by teaching him to focus on me with the distraction of other dogs present. When we first started going to training he wouldn't even look at me when i called his name, he was so distracted. Now he comes running and gives me lots of focused eye contact and obedience. I also had a fear of dogs and the dogpark, Jamie has helped me to get over these fears by teaching me more about dog behaivor and understand what different dog mannerisms mean. Now i bring my dog to the dogpark multiple times a week and i understand dogs more, making them much less scary to me

7/17/2010: Pinky is a white pit bull mix about 85 lbs. She was a stray that wandered into T's life last year. For many months, Pinky and T's other dog did great together. Then T started working long hours and things deterioated. Here is what T has to say:
Jamie has taken on many a challenging TCWN's dog and is wonderful with them. She has group classes , very cheap !! Highly reccommend.
I learned a lot and it helps to understand the why's of my dog's behavior. Kirby is still a work in progress but he is doing much better than before. He relates better to smaller dogs so even though he wasn't tiny he did better with the little dog group.
This is Petey! He is a 1yr old, Jack Russel Terrier mix. Petey has had quite a rough life so far for a pup so young. He was neglected by his owners and then removed from their home. He was taken to PACC and then I came along and fostered the little guy. Due to Petey's past experiences in life, he was a bit rough around the edges. Petey has been working with a behavioralist once a week and all I can say is WOW! Petey has changed over night! He now sits patiently for his treats without bowling is foster brothers and sisters over and doesn't push them out of his way at suppertime! He is becoming quite the little gentleman! Now Petey is still a pup and still does those things that puppies do - like nibbling your nose while giving you kisses and not understanding that the bed is supposed to be shared with the humans too (although he has now taken to sleeping smack dab in the middle as a sign of concern for our comfort!) Petey is great in the car - he lays in the back on the floor and goes to sleep. He is neutered, microchipped, and UTD on his shots. Also if you decide to take Petey home with you, TCWN's will pay for a few more classes to give you and Petey the tools you'll need to continue making him the perfect little companion! Come see Petey make his first "debut" at PetCo on Broadway and Craycroft today from 12-4! I will be there with him to answer any questions you have about this awesome guy!!
