Helping Dogs Overcome Anxiety

Anxiety and fear are natural reactions to the unfamiliar, and it’s perfectly okay for your dog to display these behaviors from time to time. However, if your pup suffers from exceptional anxiety (even in familiar settings), they might be missing out on a lot of exciting opportunities.

With the right guidance, anxious dogs can overcome the triggers and behaviors holding them back. Sit Means Sit Cincinnati is ready to help. Via positive reinforcement, loving support and plentiful encouragement, we’ll help your dog develop a new sense of confidence and trust that cuts down on anxious reactions to everyday situations.

Empowering Confidence

Anxiety in dogs is often triggered by a dog’s uncertainty about how to behave in different situations. If you can eliminate the uncertainty, you can eliminate the anxiety. It all starts with building trust—and that’s where we come in.

Sit Means Sit’s expert trainers will use science-based tactics to help anxious dogs learn to trust themselves, their owners and their surroundings. Dogs will learn to:

  • Establish strong bonds of communication and focus with their owner.
  • Gain confidence when confronted with the unfamiliar.
  • Practice impulse control and reduce reactive behavior.
  • React to anxiety-inducing situations through controlled exposure.

Through loving support and careful, controlled exposure to new environments, we’ll help your dog learn to react calmly and appropriately to different stimuli.

See Why Cincinnati Dog Owners Love Sit Means Sit

Our puppy Guinness had some bad habits and having never raised a puppy, we needed help. We had a trainer come to our house for awhile, but there seemed to be little progress. Sit Means Sit Cincinnati was a lifesaver. While Guinness still has plenty to learn, his training made a big improvement and the fact that we can take part in group classes for no additional charge is awesome! Guinness loves to see all the dog trainers, they are a great group!
We have been so happy with our experience at Sit Means Sit Cincinnati! The dog trainers treat our pup like one of their own. Our dog loves going to his follow up classes each week, and we LOVE all the progress he has made and continues to make!
Perfect! I really thought I was going to have to rehome Nelson. He was so reactive and his prey drive was excessive. Had done several other obedience classes elsewhere (and they were good) but Sit Means Sit Cincinnati’s 10 day Board and Train did the job. We are meshing so well. I am so much more confident with my 90 pound Serbian German Shepherd than I would ever have thought possible. I am so in love with this dog I cannot wait to start our day hikes this spring. We’re not perfect yet but I have high hopes!
