Does Sit Means Sit Offer Behavior Modification?

Yes, Sit Means Sit trainers have vast experience working with dogs who display a variety of problematic behaviors, such as:

• Aggression
• Reactivity
• Anxiety/Fear
• Socialization
• High distraction

Our trained professionals can help your dog eliminate fear, address triggers of aggression, and cut down on stress-related behaviors like biting, lunging, growling, jumping, loud barking, and elimination issues. In addition, we offer off-leash training to help your dog gain freedom from being tethered while still remembering obedience commands.

What Is the Sit Means Sit Collar?

The Sit Means Sit Collar brings the latest in remote control technology to help owners and trainers communicate with and train dogs even in highly distracting situations. Using a customizable electronic ‘tap,’ the collar serves as a cue that helps gain your dog’s attention. It’s much like tapping someone on the shoulder. The collar is an excellent tool to use when working to help a dog focus and achieve off-leash control. With careful usage of the collar, the dog will come to recognize the ‘tap’ with positive outcomes.

Although the collar uses low-level electronic taps as part of the training process, safety remains a non-negotiable tenet of Sit Means Sit’s values. Rest assured that the Sit Means Sit Collar’s technology is 100% safe for humans and dogs. It is easily adjustable to levels that are often imperceptible to humans, and the technology is similar to that used in human medical devices, such as muscle stimulators. It often provides a harmless, more humane way of teaching obedience without resorting to force, confrontation, or raised voices.
