This dog training video shows a couple of 14 month old Labradors learning to listen well while another dog comes running by them.
They are learning to be hunting retrievers, but the skills that they learned as young dogs in dog parks carry over to advanced training later.
You will be able to click on the link of the training earlier when one of them was younger and had fun learning this type of stuff around
distraction of a dog park at a young age.

Learning to use the Sit Means Sit dog training collar, and it’s thorough instruction by it’s trainers will give you the ability to communicate
to your dog from anywhere and help to assist you as a training aid for your dog to move along very quickly in his training.

can make your life easier by giving you off-leash control of your dog and make it easier to move him around and be able to show him all the right things to do,
as well as the things he should not do.

that will be of lifetime use to you and that no one can take away from you. The freedom that it will bring both you and your dog, will raise your quality of life with him/her

In this dog training video, we watch 14 month old ‘Charger’, a black Labrador Retriever, learn the rules of running straight through water and not onto banks. Whether it’s
advanced or basic dog training, Sit Means Sit dog trainers can help you and your companion.

This is an advanced retrieve training drill where the dog remains in a stationary position while still having the ability to pick up and drop thing while remaining in the same place.

A hunting dog retrieving bumper was used to show the ability to have the dog stop mouthing an object from a distance, or ‘remotely’ as well because the dog does mouth this particular object.

Having the ability to control your dog while at a distance is not only important for your dogs safety, but can also help with advanced dog training as well.

This is my 11 month old Labrador Retriever ‘Charger’ on his very first time using a Bumperboy. The bumperboy is great because it allows me to be able to shoot multiple bumpers at a distance, in different directions, and am able to do it remotely with a handheld remote.

The bumperboy is also rechargeable which I really like, because it’s one less thing that I have to keep going out and refilling with propane, and keeps the product as light as possible because we set up multiple units.
The bumperboy also makes it feasible for my dog to get used to gunshot at the same time, and allows me to set my own training schedule without always needing the help of someone else.

In this video, my 11 month old Black Labrador Retriever ‘Charger’ is getting his very first experience with the Bumperboy product, and I wanted to always have it on film to keep as he gets older.
Young Labrador Retrievers can get very excited when they get to retrieve the bumpers and have a great time. Here is a video of my wife Lianne using a Bumperboy Launcher with a Belgian Malinois breed.

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.

Lianne Hassen and ‘Tank’, are seen here taking and passing their very first AKC Hunt Test as a team.

This is a dog training video clip of one of the clients of our Los Angeles Dog Trainer Luciano Aguilar, from our Sit Means Sit office in L.A. Teaching dogs to swim is another one of many things that quite a few of the Sit Means Sit locations specialize in, and it makes life easier and safer for both the owner and the dog. Lili, who is the young dog in this video, definetly demonstrates that she can be placed into the pool……or in her case, she can dive into the pool from anywhere and find her way out. Sit Means Sit dog training teaches dogs not only to get IN the pool on command, but to get OUT as well.

In this video, you will see Fred Hassen using a simple placeboard for some advanced drills of getting a dog to run straight, sit straight, and to stop out of motion right in place. Placeboards are started with larger objects, but can eventually be brought into smaller, and smaller increments because of the dogs ability to distinguish the difference between the placeboard, and the setting below it. It is eventually phased out.

Fred Hassen and Ashton Fitzgerald, have fun practicing a little free-lance jumping and water entry drills. This started as just a fun little thing with the dogs, and before you know it, it turned into just thinking of just about every conceivable way that they could have their dogs going over and under things.

The great thing about the Sit Means Sit dog training system, is the length of time that the dogs can have fun with because their attention span is so much sharper, and of course, they love doing the things that we do with them, which even makes it better.

Clip of Fred Hassen teaching a dog straight lines over barriers, and moving them around with a remote. In this clip there is pairing of whistle commands with the remote, and starting and stopping enthusiastically. Dogs jumping takes a good bit of energy, and is implemented for not only visual cues of straight lines, but also for explosiveness. This video was taken at a public event in Tucson Arizona.

The great thing about pet dog training with Sit Means Sit, is that you can take your dog anywhere, and make him the best pet possible! Where are there more pet dogs than in a public dog park??

Dog training collars have evolved a lot over the years but one thing is for certain, Fred Hassen has been at the fore front in the advancement of remote electronic dog training and it was only a matter of
time before his efforts evolved into his own brand in remote dog training equipment and supplies. That time is now. Here is a clip of Fred Hassen doing some initial testing of the dog training collar known as
“The Sit Means Sit Collar” in an indoor setting, with lots of distraction of people around, and on a slippery floor.

The Sit Means Sit dog training collar had to work well in all environments, and be able to perform with people and crowds, since most all Sit Means Sit demonstrations are done in public. Since Fred Hassen
believes that politically correct and humane dog training is done in public, it only made sense that it had to be tested in public as well.

To make the testing process even more thorough, Fred did not talk to the dog at all during this demonstration since he has always had an unwavering belief that his dog training system is a line of communication
between the handler and the dog, and with his many exhibitions of linking food with the variable intensity of his remote electronic dog training collar, he steadfastly showed that his dog training collar and his
dog training system are certainly light years ahead of the primitive punishment only training styles. Fred Hassen even took it a step further by showing the success in communication with deaf dogs. The dog
in this video is not deaf , but communication without speaking is even much easier than with any other system or device available!

The Sit Means Sit dog training Collar is now also available on line at our store.

This video was taken during a smaller group session at the opening for the “Sit Means Sit Collar” that was held at our Los Angeles California dog training location. The Los Angeles location is run by Luciano Aguilar. Carla Collins from our Dallas Texas dog training location, is seen here instructing a group on the use of the collar. A lot of the dogs in this dog training video clip had either no obedience or very little coming into it. This clip was taken towards the end of the 2nd day.

The little puppy in this clip is a Belgian Malinois. This clip was taken right before Carla was getting ready to instruct the entire group on how to send their dog into a crate. A few of the dogs had never been in crates before either, and the technique of the Sit Means Sit training program showed those dogs going from hesitant if they had never been in a crate before, to very confident.

Placeboards, or elevated objects, as seen in this clip are used in the training to make it clearer to the dog to not only stay in one place, but this exercise is also used in the initial stages of climbing onto things, and having confidence to go through objects as well in the initial stage of going over the object and to keep walking. A dog’s natural tendency initially is to go around the object.

Sit Means Sit dog training also uses these boards to turn the dog to both sides while on the board as well, and this helps in getting the dog very aware of his entire body. The Sit Means Sit program is an all-encompassing system that makes the dog very confident in many areas, and is able to also enjoy working for a longer period of time because of the confidence that it brings. This type of training is very universal, and can be used to help the dogs confidence in a variety of areas, and can easily be transferred over to pet training, or working dog training.

The first part of this clip shows Fred Hassen with “Nero” doing a demonstration at Bass Pro Shop. Nero does a cool backflip. In the second part, a real postal worker dons a bite suit for the first time – oh boy!

This is just a short dog training basics video that was taken at one of our many seminars that are held both Nationally and Internationally. Obviously, any dog training system would be limited to some degree in a 2 day seminar, but with the Sit Means Sit dog training basics seminar, the bar is raised much, much higher in what can be achieved in two days not only because of the Sit Means Sit system, but because of the flexibility of the variety of things that can be accomplished with the Sit Means Sit dog training collar.
