Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

How do you handle a dog who’s aggressive and scared?

Great question Matt! Handling a dog that's both aggressive and scared requires a combination of patience, understanding, and effective training techniques. It's crucial to avoid escalating the situation by not provoking the dog or putting them in stressful situations. Understanding the root cause of the dog's aggression and fear is essential. Identifying these triggers allows us to develop a targeted training plan. Positive reinforcement techniques are key in addressing this behavior. We focus on rewarding calm and non-aggressive behaviors while gradually desensitizing the dog to their triggers. This might involve creating a safe and comfortable environment for the dog, providing mental stimulation, and engaging in activities that build trust and confidence. Consistency is paramount in our training approach. We establish clear boundaries and expectations for the dog's behavior, ensuring that everyone involved in their care follows the same guidelines.

Question on Google
Do you expose dogs to different environments and situations during training?

This is our favorite. During our trainings we train around many other dogs, go on field trips all around the community and of course our group classes are where we create confidence building drills for real life scenarios. You can find us at Scheels, Home Depot, Lowes, surrounding parks, pet stores, outside of dog parks, and more!

We have only great things to say. Professional, experienced staff. Excellent training and support. Highly recommended for those serious dog lovers. I love our weekly outdoor training classes with my Doberman, Tino. Great results!!

The whole team at Sit Means Sit has been amazing! We recently adopted a new pup and they've been instrumental in helping us create structure, confidence and fun for our herding bread. We went with the day train package and have felt that option has given us the best of both staying involved while accelerating her learning process.

We had an excellent experience working with Sit Means Sit! From the start, they were attentive, communicative, and clearly invested in understanding our dogs needs. Our dog can be reactive, and we saw noticeable improvements in behavior, and just our ability to control him after the training and boarding period. We're incredibly grateful for the progress our dog has made, and would absolutely recommend SMS to anyone looking for a friendly, knowledge, and effective training team.
