Sit Means Sit dog trainers demonstrate multiple dogs in closed environment with bitework going on, along with a variety of other things. It is usually very difficult to have more than 1 dog out and off-leash during bitework because of the huge distraction. Sit Means Sit dog trainers have made this sort of distraction training the norm in elevating police K-9 standards to a much higher level. This type of control carries over to a variety of areas. The police dog k-9 demonstration seen here was taken at the 2008 South Florida Police Expo. Watch more Sit Means Sit Police dog training videos. Learn more about the Sit Means Sit Dog Collar.

Having control of a K-9 dog during distraction and in the midst of people, will soon become the norm rather than the exception, as more and more Police departments
get exposed to Sit Means Sit Police dog training and their K-9 remote training program. In this age of political correctness, and the rise of lawsuits in K-9 divisions, now having
control and getting it without any of the raising of the voices is bringing police K-9 departments to a much higher level. This video clip is from a recent police K-9 demonstration
at a Florida Police Expo. Ashton Fitz-Gerald and Fred Hassen are seen in this video. Here is some information on the dog performing without the electronic collar on.

Whether it’s police dog training or sport dog training, having control of your dog during the face of distraction like a bitesuit, and having the ability to call your dog off at the last second, for any number of reasons is just good, commonsense dog training, and saves many police departments lawsuits. Ashton Fitz-gerald is seen here doing a demonstration of control during a public demonstration at the 2006 Rolex 3 day event for the crowd.

Some video footage from a Sit Means Sit police dog training seminar in Illinois with a dog that they have had no luck previously in getting to release objects. Dog has been to many other trainers, and training seminars with no luck. This is part 1 of a 2 part video with this dog, and audio is provided by Fred Hassen of Sit Means Sit Dog Training.

Very good visual pictures here of seeing the difference of the political correctness with the Sit Means Sit dog training system for police K-9 dogs. Dogs work efficiently for a much longer period of time with the Sit Means Sit system as well.

Teaching K-9’s and Police K-9 handlers how to control their dogs, but yet maintain desire in it’s highest form is something that the Sit Means Sit police K-9 division does best. With the advent of modern technology, Sit Means Sit dog training is making it easier for Police departments to have the highest caliber of police dog, but yet maintain control to it’s highest level as well.
Sit Means Sit dog training believes that a police K-9 should be the most highly training dog around, and the general public holds them to that standard as well. The old days of yelling and screaming at dogs are behind us with the Sit Means Sit dog training system. For liability reasons, and to have handlers trained to the highest of standards, more and more police departments are turning to Sit Means Sit dog training. This video shows just some of the many reasons why. This video is also a very clear picture that while many people tout that a remote collar would cause more aggression, it’s very clear here, that through the proper Sit Means Sit dog training system, this is nothing but a fallacy.

Lisa Myers of our Sit Means Sit South Jersey dog training location, is shown here with her Search and Rescue dog’s ‘Sampson’ (Golden Retriever), and Rocky (Pitbull). Kristin Zimmerman and her young German Shepherd from the Sit Means Sit South Jersey location is also seen here briefly with her dog barking on the bark barrell. Search and Rescue people really have to get out there in the trenches for their training, and the places they have to go, and areas they have to be in on a regular basis is a very difficult job in saving people’s lives that are lost in all kinds of places. You will see Lisa here in the middle of Search training, having a little fun with her dogs also. Sit Means Sit dog training shows not only consistent high level working dogs, but believes that flash and style, and fun is all a part of dog training as well. Lisa is also seen here having fun with her Search dog “Rocky”, having fun biting a sleeve. Lisa also performs Search and Rescue remote collar seminars throughout the country as part of the Sit Means Sit seminar teams. Lisa level of ability in performing various behaviors with the Sit Means Sit collar is unquestionably seen in this video.

Police K-9 handlers are held to the highest esteem, and are in the public eye a lot. It’s always nice to see them performing well in all situations, whether it is in a police trial, or on the streets. Sgt.

This protection dog training video was taken at the 2007 Sit Means Sit/No Limitations annual reunion. A portion of the gathering was held at Floyd Lamb state park in Las Vegas, Nevada. They have a firing range at this particular part of the park, which is about 40-50 yards away from where we were doing our training. It sure is great when you can automatically train your dog around gun fire, and loud noises without having to go out and find it and instead, it comes to you! Ashton Fitz-Gerald from our Sit Means Sit dog training head office in Las Vegas is seen here practicing a little bitework and obedience around the gunfire.

His athletes include World Cup Windsurfers, World Cup Alpine skiers, Tow surfers, Track & Field athletes and of late, a Formula One race cardriver. With eight Olympic cycles to his credit both as a competitive athlete and coach, we are certainly looking forward to Scott opening
up Hawaii, the Aloha State, with more happy Sit Means Sit dogs and clients in the future.

In this police dog training video, you can see the tremendous advantages that the Sit Means Sit dog training system has in the speed of learning for police departments around the country. The results in this video all occurred over a 3 day period from a seminar that was held by Fred Hassen in Bolivia North Carolina. Amazing changes are made over a couple of days at our Police dog training seminars. Most police K9 officers are used to just using remote electronic collars to just get a dog off a bite, or to just tell him no, and most of what they have seen in the police dog world of people using ecollars has not been very impressive, so it is natural for them to be maybe a bit hesitant at first when hearing about the seminar, because maybe they do not have a real hard dog, and sometimes they have just seen or heard that ecollar training only works with really hard dogs. That’s really kind of normal for people to think this whether they are a police k9 handler, or a pet dog handler, and you really can’t blame them when there are not many positive remote training systems out there, and even less where people actually SHOW their dogs, and we show hundreds of dogs, and all sorts, from puppies to adults of all breeds. In this day and age where information can be easily found, and since dog trainers and police dog trainers can say virtually anything and type virtually anything, we understand that most police k9 people, as well as human beings in general, have a good handle on common sense, and they are usually ’show me’ type of people, and we think that is great, and is as it should be. It is very common for a police dog handler to have a very strong dog, and not only does our training move the dog a long much faster, but the dogs work ethic becomes much better and can work effectively for a much longer period of time. The other big change is that since the handlers are experiencing success immediately and on a much more consistent basis, you see the handlers not only working the dogs much longer, but having more fun and the dogs having more fun as well. They can also experience for the first time, the dogs being able to work on the field in much closer proximity to each other, which also obviously carries over to the dogs working better around any sort of distraction. Give Sit Means Sit a call to set up your police dog training seminar on using remotes. Our seminars are completely hands on. The Sit Means Sit main office can be reached toll free at 1 866 748 6748.

Police K-9 video from the “Sit Means Sit” police K-9 seminar in New Jersey.

Following handler through a little obedience training at a Sit Means Sit/No Limitations remote collar police dog training seminar with Fred Hassen, Sergeant Jerry Turning, Waleed Maalouf, and Dave Skoletsky.

This police dog training video featuring Sergeant Jerry Turning of the Tinton Falls Police Department and Fred Hassen are seen here giving a demonstration of the unique advantages that a “Sit Means Sit” remote collar dog trainer has in the police world over traditional training.

None of this demonstration has been rehearsed in any way, and Sgt. Turning has no idea of what Fred Hassen is going to ask him to do next. Having the ability to be able to think and react on your feet to various situations, gives today’s “Sit Means Sit” police dog trainers, enormous advantages in things that they can add to their tool box.

Being able to keep a dog stationary, and move him in different directions, start and stop him on command, and still be able to have the K-9 do his job with much enthusiasm, whether it is biting, searching, or just doing a Police public demonstration for kids, is what the “Sit Means Sit” police training has been built on, to have the highest of standards for the dogs, and for the community.

Fred Hassen with Dave Skoletsky demonstrate "Heel" and "Watch" with a remote. No Limitations "Live" seminar, Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Having the ability of working a remote E-Collar, and having the ability to not only have the dog pay attention to the handler, but also to pay attention to something that is ‘remote’ from the handler, keeps the “Sit Means Sit” Dog Trainers able to do things more efficiently than could obviously be done through traditional means. This can be done not only next to the handler, but from a remote position as well.
