When we rescued Lily, who was misbreeded, we had no idea how to train a dog that was not food or praise motivated. I couldn’t believe it. I’m a firm believer in positive reinforcement so when my friend introduced Sit Means Sit I was beyond skeptical. The final straw came when Lily jumped out into traffic in an attempt to herd it and almost killed us both. I figured it couldn’t get any worse.
Jerry completed our initial home visit and we were sold in the few minutes that he demonstrated how the program worked. It was like he put a curse on her because she listened and seemed calm. Due to scheduling we worked with Matt. Let me tell you that he knows his stuff! As he liked to refer to me as “”the person who wants to know why”” he patiently and confidentially answered all of my questions, hesitations, and was willing to do whatever it took to help me. The program challenges us every time as a person and handler that has allowed Lily to become/becoming an obedient confident dog. I would recommend anybody who needs or wants a legitimate program with a strict regimen and is committed to doing the work in order to have a happy dog.
