Empowering dog owners with the skills to resolve behavior issues.
We at Seize The Leash provide positive and practical solutions to dog behavior issues that dog owners may experience. Through private in-home sessions and seeing the dog in his own environment, a customized behavior and training program can be developed 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 at Seize The Leash empower the owner with the skills in order to work as a team with their own dog to resolve any current behavior issues that exist today and the knowledge of what to do for any future challenges that may arise. This is real-life training tailored to meet your needs and the needs of your family and your dog

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Jamie Robinson is the owner/operator of Seize the Leash. She is an eclectic dog trainer who uses the best training and/or behavior techniques and practices to assist you in teaching your dog. It is her belief that a dog should learn in a positive fashion as this yields the best outcomes resulting in a well-trained, good mannered and obedient dog. Jamie is and has been for 35 years a dedicated dog trainer who continually improves her training techniques so that Seize the Leash clients receive the most updated training methods.
What is your primary product or service?
Jamie has many solutions for helping dog owners stop unwanted behaviors and creating good behaviors. All it takes are some new training tips, owner/handler and pet education, learning dog psychology, understanding how a dog communicates and willingness to work with your dog and practice. Jamie has authored many articles which provide many solutions to eliminate unwanted behaviors, improve good behaviors and teach your dog basic obedience in just 6 - 8 weeks (dependent, of course, upon the dog and how severe the behaviors are and the commitment of the owner to do all homework exactly as taught).
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
There is a great deal of satisfaction for both pet and owner when training produces results. Problems with animals can be solved with a minimum of cost and effort, when you take advantage of Jamie's extensive practical experience in hands-on dog behavior training. Janie has remained strongly focused on gaining as much experience in as many dog training facets as possible. There is an art to training dogs that only comes with years of experience, keen understanding and a deep passion for dogs.
What type of payments do you accept?
All programs have one fixed price either by cash or check. Most programs are 6 weeks long, our Lifetime Guarantee covers extension of programs and customer service/training for life provided the owner can show that s/he has done all the homework provided with no deviations and continues to work with the dog daily. NO harsh methods are use in our programs, NO prong/choker chains, NO painful "Gentle leaders". Training is based on communication, education, positive attitude, touch and reward.
