FAQs

What Training Methods Does Sit Means Sit Use?

Sit Means Sit’s training models generally follow attention-based methods to help your dog learn to focus on you and respond to commands while ignoring distractions. However, we recognize that every dog is different, which is why we can adapt our methods to provide an ideal learning experience for each dog’s needs.

All training takes place in a loving, supportive environment that encourages trust and confidence-building. As applicable, we use a variety of tools as part of the learning process, including leashes, toys, food and training collars (such as the Sit Means Sit Collar).

Does Sit Means Sit Offer Behavior Modification?

We have successfully helped countless dogs eliminate behaviors such as:

• Aggression
• Reactivity
• Anxiety/Fear
• Socialization issues
• Distractedness

Through consistent positive reinforcement, we can help dogs build confidence and learn to focus on their owners in potentially stressful situations or while off-leash. The results can eliminate or greatly reduce dogs’ problem behaviors.

What is the Sit Means Sit Collar?

The Sit Means Sit Collar is the latest remote-controlled training aid to help humans communicate with dogs even in highly stressful or distracting situations. It is an excellent focus tool, particularly when working on off-leash control.

The collar uses a customizable electronic ‘tap’ to help gain your dog’s attention and remind them of a certain behavior. With careful use of the collar, we can teach your dog to associate the ‘taps’ with positive outcomes. It’s much like tapping someone on the shoulder to remind them that good behavior leads to good results.

The Sit Means Sit collar’s electric tap technology is 100% safe for humans and dogs. The adjustable technology is often imperceptible to humans and is similar to that used in many human medical devices, such as muscle stimulators. It provides a harmless and more humane way to teach obedience without resorting to force, yelling, fear or confrontation.

What Types of Dogs Does Sit Means Sit Work With?

Sit Means Sit has successfully trained dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. Our extensive puppy training courses can set young dogs up for a lifetime of good behavior, while adult dogs can benefit from behavior modification to eliminate problem habits that may arise suddenly and unexpectedly.
