Top 10 ways to spot that your neighbor isn’t ‘the original dog whisperer’.

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Have you ever noticed how every professional dog trainer now calls themselves ‘The Dog Whisperer’ because of Cesar Millan’s fame? Even your next door neighbor does!

A lot of them even claim they were ‘The Original’.

Below are the top 10 ways to spot that perhaps your neighbor isn’t really ‘the original dog whisperer’. :-)

1. If he is still trying to convince you that his free newsletter E-book would have been a #1 bestseller if he wasn’t ’screwed over by the publisher’.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

2. If you can’t find a video of his dog in action anywhere on the internet.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

3. If the local media station says ‘Who’??? When you ask about him.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

4. If he still lives with Mom.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

5. If he refers the aggressive Pitbull, to the dog trainer down the street.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

6. If his dog isn’t trained because “He’s way too busy to train his own dog”
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

7. If he still keeps his busboy job because ‘he likes it’.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’..

8. If he says ‘I’ve just never wanted to be famous’
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

9. If his ‘portfolio’ only consists of a picture of Cesar Millan signing his autograph for them.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

10. If he doesn’t even own a dog.
Then your neighbor just may not be ‘the original dog whisperer’.

Thanks Caesar, for keeping dog training a little more in the hearts and minds of everyone.
I’m sure you’ve heard all of this before. :-)

Top 8 reasons why obedience is important in Dog Parks.

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

We all love dog parks, and we all love having the ability to keep them open for others to enjoy.

Whenever there are mass amounts of people or dogs, problems can arise in either situation.


Below is a list of reasons that having some training in your dog will assist in keeping dog parks open for others to enjoy.

1. Being able to move them, or stop them from potential danger or dog fight.

2. Ability to stop your dog from humping other dogs. (some dogs will not tolerate that)

3. Ability to stop them from jumping on other people, or other annoying habits to some.

4. More freedom for them to play, but play safely and to be responsible.

5. Being able to practice your training in an uncontrolled atmosphere as the rest of world potentially is.

6. Ability to set an example for others to follow that their dogs can listen there as well.

7. Owners with unattentive dogs to commands are the #1 reason for dog fights in dog parks.

8. Less injury’s to dogs and people.

Teach your dog to stop instantly

Friday, June 26th, 2009

In this dog training video, Darin Shepherd from Sit Means Sit Dog Training Atlanta Georgiashows one of the many advantages of the Sit Means Sit Dog Training system which allows you to get to a dog from anywhere, and to do it immediately.

This is obviously more efficient than having to go up next to the dog, because you could do it from anywhere, would not have to raise your voice, and would be able to adjust things instantly according to the temperament of your particular dog, or even during the changing of your dogs temperament in an isolated instance.

Our dog training system makes this information much more transferrable to owners and families than any other way, and provides a clearness in the dog’s learning that is unmatched.

Notice also how Darin is able to maintain enthusiasm with his dog ‘Bauer’ which is vitally important in dog training.

Darin was also one of the feature presenters at the 2009 HITS Police demonstration.

Dogs will be dogs – I’m sure you’ve experienced this!

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

This is a fun video of what dogs sometimes love to do, and that is to be just a little sneaky! It always make you laugh when you see these types of things, and reminds us why we all love dogs so much. Dog training is a never ending challenge, and you sometimes never know just what they are going to do.

Police K-9 dog training Trial – 1st place

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Police K-9 Handler Bob Campanile from the Sit Means Sit Ocean County New Jersey dog training location, is seen here at a 2008 USPCA Region 15 PD1 Trial. This is a video from the “Criminal Apprehension” phase of the trial. No training aids of any kind are allowed on the dogs at these trials, and at many other types of dog training competitions of various other disciplines as well. Dogs are living, breathing creatures and do not always listen the first time every time, so having your highest rate of reliability in practice is always best to keep those percentages as high as they can be. There are 3 different phases in this trial, and Bob took 1st place overall at the event.

Teaching Manners with toy crazy dogs

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Teaching manners on the dock is important for several reasons, some of which include:

• You do not want to use all of your allotted time when at a trial
• You can move along quicker during practice times
• Your dog is very clear on what is expected of him (and what is not)
• Your dog is able to expend all his energy towards the task and make his jumps as long as they can be

Dock Dogs is the fastest rising sport and it is also great exercise for dogs in the summer to keep them cool. It has much less pounding on the joints than running or jumping on land. Find more information on Dock Dogs.

Dog Training – Creating flashy position changes

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Fred Hassen is seen here with 16 month old “Nash” (Belgian Malinois), showing the beginning transition changes of ‘Sit’, ‘Down’ and ‘Stand’. The ‘Stand’ command is also used in the retrieving world as ‘Whoa’, but the concepts are the same. This is only the beginnings, and Fred will have another video soon with dog steady off a ruler, for a better comparison. Just the beginning with a bigger target.

Teach your dog to multi-task.

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Teaching your dog to multi-task can be a lot of fun. Your dog must have the ability to reliably be able to do a multitude of behaviors, and you can then chain them one after the other if he is attentive.

Dogs can easily reassign their energy from one place to another, as long as their are motivating factors involved such as toys, or things that they just basically like to do. Fred Hassen demonstrates some multi-tasking with his dog ‘Nash’ in this video.

Dogs can multi-task or do multiple task things in succession very quickly with the Sit Means Sit dog training system.

Another Example of multi-tasking with a different dog.

Building an Attentive Dog

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Have you ever wondered what the main ingredient in having a happy, reliable dog? The main ingredient is for the dog to be attentive and alert, and that’s what contributes the most to him having his energy filtered in the right places. An attentive, alert dog can work anywhere, and for a much longer period of time.

Why do working dogs fail at tasks? Sometimes it can be from poor dog selection, which is basically picking a dog that is not genetically suited for the tasks that need to be done, but in most cases it is the dogs failure to pay attention. Whether it’s a pet dog or a working dog, a dog’s attentiveness opens up a whole world of freedom where it can comfortably go in any environment, because when you step out your front door, you have to control your dog because in a lot of instances you cannot control the environment.

In the video above, Sit Means Sit CEO Fred Hassen is seen working his dog in front of a Marriott hotel in Kentucky, and enjoying the freedoms that an attentive dog brings to both handler and dog.
