Nudge, Buggles, Boo & Pip
I adopted 4 puppies over the last year and knew training would be necessary as each pup came with personality quirks, 3 due to a very checkered start in life. Sit, Stay, 'N Play has been teaching me how to raise and train my 4 puppies, and with the instruction of Dagan, Dane, Kathy, and Lisa they are growing up to be wonderful dogs!
Training with my pups has created a special bond unique to each one, embracing their individualities, all the while creating a well-mannered (most of the time) pack at home. We look forward to the one-on-one “Mommy and Me” time in class while socializing with other dogs in a safe structured environment. Besides basic commands and manners, the trainers are teaching me how to read their cues and tells, and knowing their cues, allows me to redirect them to the behavior I want before they fail, and the opportunity to give them praise and love, in turn, building their confidence and desire to produce positive learned behaviors. This in itself is a game-changer for our pack!
After graduating with Beginner Obedience, we moved forward to Intermediate, Rally, and Rodeo based on each of my dog's personality and confidence level. The classes have been engaging, confidence-building, and playful while teaching me how to direct my dogs for the desired outcome or work through distractions in life outside the ring. It’s setting us up for success in real-life situations! Who knew a Rodeo command would keep us from getting wrapped around a telephone pole or a Rally command to work through a tight space at a hardware store? We can go out in public one-on-one and have a nice walk, sometimes practicing commands, sometimes just enjoying the weather, but it’s successful!
My dogs still have their moments, and it wasn’t a magical transformation. However, with patience, perseverance, and praise they are growing into their own best potential. I am so grateful for Dagan, Dane, Kathy, and Lisa, I wouldn't have been able to achieve the level we are at today without the outstanding guidance from the team at Sit, Stay, 'N Play!
