Police Dog Training Demo at Invictus 2010

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

This video shows Fred Hassen, demonstrating his Sit Means Sit dog training his K9 Nash at the 2010 Invictus ‘Law Dog’ event. Police dog handlers from around the United States were in attendance at this event.

Sit Means Sit CEO and Founder, Fred Hassen and staff trainer Ashton Fitz-Gerald from our corporate office in Las Vegas, Nevada were asked to perform a demonstration at this event during the lunch time hour of the Sit Means Sit Police Dog Training approach. Fred happened to arrive at the host hotel a little early, and found himself doing a private demonstration for a police dog trainer in the front parking lot.

We at Sit Means Sit believe that to have a truly effective and strategic police dog and handler team, authorities should use every possible advantage they have at their disposal. Sit Means Sit are leaders in the remote collar dog training industry, and have a proven track record of producing outstanding dogs in any discipline. The videos provided by Sit Means Sit help to shed some light on the scope of what a police dog trainer or handler can expect to gain from our Police K9 School held at our corporate headquarters here in Las Vegas.

Here’s what you can exepct from our Police K9 School:

  • Instruction and hands on application/integration of remote dog training collars (e-collars) into a K9 training program.
  • Total control over a police dog in ANY environment, without sacrificing desire
  • Gain the ability to manage your police dog more efficiently making him a more effective deterrant and partner
  • Diversification of your police dog’s understanding of bite technique to improve his performance in static situations, multiple assailant scenarios, as well as building his ability to subdue an assailant around a variety of environmental distractions.

Most importantly, your police dog team will gain the confidence to:

  • Recall your K9 ANYwhere, at ANYtime!
  • Control your K9’s bite release instantly
  • Most importantly, perform all this off leash at a distance, and in a politically correct fashion

    Contact us today for information about our Police Dog Training School. (This program is limited to active duty K9 handlers)

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training in Brisbane Australia

    Sit Means Sit Police K9 School

    Thursday, November 6th, 2008

    Sit Means Sit dog trainers Fred Hassen and Ashton Fitz-Gerald recently presented a Police and Protection K9 dog training seminar in Sonoma County California.

    There were a multitude of K9 dog handlers from Santa Rosa as well as the rest of Sonoma County at the seminar. Over the course of the two day seminar, many of the dog handlers gained a lot more confidence in their ability to control their K9s around heavy real-world training scenarios.

    This video highlights one K9 team who previous to our seminar were unable to perform advanced K9 training scenarios such as call offs and directional casting during protection work. The necessity of having off leash control over a K9 is quite apparent when you get into situations where a task is needed to be performed but there is strong distraction to contend with.

    Giving control back to the handler to make decisions about when and where it is appropriate for a K9 to bite is crucial in the effective use of a K9 as a police tool. Real control without the sacrifice of desire is what has made the Sit Means Sit Police K9 School program so effective for active duty K9 handlers.

    Before filling out one of our contact forms to become one of these specially selected individuals, we suggest that you do your due diligence in researching our dog training company against any and all other dog training companies on the market.

    Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia concerning the population of Long Island and the surrounding area, which is obviously a very ripe area for us to open Sit Means Sit dog training offices in the surrounding area, and why we are very picky on the Sit Means Sit dog training location owners. Here is the excerpt: Long Island is an island located in southeastern New York, USA, its western shores directly across from Manhattan, from which the island stretches northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. It contains four counties, two of which (Queens and Kings) are boroughs (Queens and Brooklyn) of New York City, and two of which (Nassau and Suffolk) are suburbs of that city. Long Island Sound is the body of water between its northern shore and the state of Connecticut.

    True to its name, Long Island is much longer than it is wide, extending 118 miles (190 km) from New York Harbor, and it varies in width from 12 to 23 miles (19 to 37 km) between the northern Long Island Sound coast and the southern Atlantic coast.[1] With an area of 1,401 square miles (3,629 km2), Long Island is the largest island in the continental United States and the 149th largest island in the world.[1] It is connected to the mainland by several bridges and tunnels through New York City, and ferries to Connecticut from Suffolk County.

    Long Island had a population of 7,448,618 as of the 2000 census,[1] with the population estimated at 7,559,372 as of July 1, 2006, making it the most populated island in any U.S. state or territory. It is also the 17th most populous island in the world, ahead of Ireland, Jamaica and the Japanese island of Hokkaid?. Its population density is 5,470 people per square mile (2,110 per km2).

    We strongly suggest that you research our information on our dog training schools, and our dog training career opportunities, and forward to anyone that you feel might be qualified to open a Sit Means Sit dog training office in and around the Long Island New York area. We will only be taking 10 qualified applicants at this time. Become a Long Island Dog Training expert!

    Learning to control your dog around distraction is one of the biggest barriers that pet dogs, and just about any working dog face. Most people can quite easily control their dog for a cookie with nothing around, but when distraction enters the picture, it’s where the rubber meets the road. It’s also the main thing that may prohibit you taking your dog to different places and giving him a more fulfilling life because of your inability to control him in those situations. Sometimes teaching a dog to do these things may take an owner weeks, months, or perhaps will never happen! With Sit Means Sit dog training, this type of scenario happens quite easily, and in a very short period of time because of technology, and learning from the Sit Means Sit dog trainers exactly HOW to use the Sit Means Sit dog collar so your whole family can learn, and enjoy your dog! In this video, Dave Skoletsky from the Sit Means Sit training center in Denver Colorado, is shown here not only making life a lot easier for these owners in a matter of minutes, but also being able to show that he is not asking anything of the owners that he cannot actually do himself. Talk is cheap, Sit Means Sit dog training shows you the way, and in the shortest time imaginable, while maintaining a wonderful attitude. Learn more about the Sit Means Sit dog training schools.

    Shock Collar Training has been modernized-video

    Sunday, September 9th, 2007

    Shock collar, as it’s referred to as in this video, just ain’t what they used to be, and neither is shock collar training since Sit Means Sit has turned the industry upside down with their tremendous documented success using their system. In this video, Fred Hassen and Alfredo Rivera show how to completely turn dog behavior around with today’s technology and the “Sit Means Sit” Collar, along with the best trainers in the world at using them. You will see a drastic turn around in a half hour session with the “Sit Means Sit” collar, and the “Sit Means Sit” dog training system. The Sit Means Sit dog training system has modernized and revolutionized the remote dog training world, and is a main reason why Sit Means Sit successful dog training businesses are popping up everywhere!
    There are many people that refer to remote collars as shock collars, and in a lot of instances, it may not necessarily be a negative term that they are referring to. In a lot of cases, people may use the term shock collar in a derogatory fashion, but these people are usually uneducated, and once they get educated, they may still use the term ’shock collar’, but not in a negative way any longer. A remote dog training collar, electronic collar, or ‘Shock collar’ as some call it, is really just a muscle stimulator, and they have been around for years giving health benefits and alleviating pain, not causing it. Many people refer to a shock collar as a figure of speech, much as someone may refer to a bathroom as a ‘comode’ or other terms. Shock collars, like many other forms of technology has evolved much over the years. The Sit Means Sit Collar

    Dog Training Business Schools

    Thursday, September 6th, 2007

    Sit Means Sit™, the fast growing dog training business sweeping the nation has opened another dog training career development and training center in Denver, Colorado headed by Dave Skoletsky.

    Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) September 5, 2007 — Sit Means Sit™, the Nevada based dog training business that is opening up locations throughout the country at record speed, has opened another dog training business development and training center in Denver, Colorado headed by Dave Skoletsky. Citing record company growth in 2007, Sit Means Sit™ business training centers have a growing waiting list and thus this second facility, which joins the landmark Sit Means Sit™ dog training business development center in Las Vegas, Nevada, had to be opened to meet high demand.

    Sit Means Sit™ dog training businesses are popping up everywhere nationwide and we had to grow to meet the demands of our business
    Sit Means Sit™ is a successful dog training business with multiple locations in the US and Canada. Each of the trainers at these dog training schools is trained by Fred Hassen and the Sit Means Sit™ team. As remote dog collar training has gained ground in the dog obedience industry, interest in dog training and opening up remote collar dog training businesses has grown in leaps and bounds. Sit Means Sit™ owner Fred Hassen quickly found that their single training location at the headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada was being outpaced by the swift growth of the company.

    “Sit Means Sit™ dog training businesses are popping up everywhere nationwide and we had to grow to meet the demands of our business,” said Fred Hassen, owner of both Sit Means Sit™ and No Limitations™. “We were especially excited to have a trainer like Dave Skoletsky to head another dog trainer training facility since he is such a great person, a fantastic dog obedience trainer and a great teacher and small business owner.”

    Dave Skoletsky is a formally educated chemist who saw one of Fred Hassen’s prolific dog training videos on the web in the early years of Sit Means Sit™. Signing up at No Limitations™ because of his love of dogs and with an interest in supplementing his primary income, Skoletsky ultimately found his passion lay in the dog obedience training industry rather than in chemistry.

    Since Skoletsky could not open his own Sit Means Sit™ dog training school at the time, he opened his own remote collar training school called “Sit Happens” in Denver, Colorado which has become the second biggest company in the world that individually trains people on the success of remote collar dog training. “Sit Happens” has now become one of the largest Sit Means Sit ™ locations in the U.S. Skoletsky honed his individual talents by assisting Fred Hassen in many seminars on remote e-collar training varying from pet dog training seminars through police dog seminars and he has single handedly come from being a chemist, to a leader in the dog obedience industry.

    “Having the two largest remote e-collar training businesses in the world is a tremendous advantage to all of our new “Sit Means Sit™” businesses that come aboard,” Sit Means Sit™ CEO Fred Hassen said.

    “This exposes our potential SMS business owners to a lot more clients because of the size of the businesses, and because we are both located in major marketplaces. Both Sit Means Sit™ Las Vegas and Denver have not only static locations, but mobile businesses as well, that the potential business owners get exposed to a lot more successful training than anyone could imagine. Of course, we both provide free unlimited lifetime follow-up training for both locations, not only for our clients, but for the business owners as well!”

    Skoletsky said, “I am incredibly excited and honored to be joining the Sit Means Sit team on the business training and development team. Our dog training methods are second to none and coupled with our support system and our outstanding marketing we have nowhere to go but up!”

    Since February 2006, Sit Means Sit™ dog training has grown into an international dog obedience training company that has opened 35 locations in the U.S. and abroad. While primarily a pet dog business, Sit Means Sit™ dog trainers boast of having 2 National Champions, 4 present active police k9 handlers, and 1 active member and 1 former member of the Presidential K9 team.

    About Sit Means Sit™
    Founded and Created by Fred Hassen in 1998, Sit Means Sit™ is a dog training method that has evolved into a successful and growing company. The gentle training methods offer a high level of obedience to the pet owner and create a happier dog. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, this innovative dog obedience training business has a number of locations throughout North America.
