Proofing the Down command
Sit Means Sit dog trainers and their dogs, show some proofing of the 'down' command in this video. Having a dog reliable under distractions comes in handy whether you have a pet dog, a police dog, or a competitive dog. Getting imaginative in your training, is a training approach that is instilled in any well-trained dog. Having a reliable dog, is also very valuable to the dog's safety in many situations that can come up when you step outside your house in whatever arena that you are in. You cannot control the outside environment, so it is important to train in situations that are imaginative when you can control it, so when the situation arises, you will be prepared.
In this video, Ashton Fitz-Gerald provides some of the distractions with his dogs, while other Sit Means Sit dogs lie in place. The dogs in this video range from 8 months old, which is the Australian Shepherd that is owned by Ashley Starling from our Sit Means Sit Bay Area California location, 9 month old German Shepherd from our South Jersey location, and all the way up to 4 1/2 years of age. One of the black labs is a dog that Bobby Pablico (Sit Means Sit Las Vegas) rescued from a shelter. All dogs can learn reliability, no matter what their background. You will also see balls being used as a distraction, and everyone of the dogs in this video loves to chase balls. You will also see some of the dogs released to go play in the pool on command. When they are released to play in the pool, they actually run right by all of the balls, because it is still even another command with distraction. That command is 'in the water'. This is also a big distraction for the other dogs, because of the fast moving breaking of the individual dogs. Would you like to have your dog reliable, or maybe you are interested in becoming a dog trainer and a part of our team? Give the Sit Means Sit office a call at 866-748-6748.
