The unique Sit Means Sit training model uses Attention-Based Training to modify behaviors and teach dogs new skills and proper manners. This approach to training allows our Sit Means Sit Austin trainers to use a variety of attention-based modalities such as leashes, flat collars, food, toys, and our patented Sit Means Sit Collar.
Just as in sports and academics, no one is ever punished into excellence. We teach with a healthy level of clear guidance, direction, and enthusiastic praise. Through repetition and proper progression, excellence and proficiency are then achieved.
We are best known for our off-leash results around distractions, both on and off the owner’s property. We address many different areas of training, such as:

Housebreaking
Barking
Aggression
Basic Obedience
Leash pulling
Jumping
Chewing
Advanced Obedience

Our training is safe, and it is free of confrontation, conflict, and confusion. There is no yelling or punishment in our training progressions. The collar (as is with all other training modalities), does not train a specific skill such as “sit” or “down”. We (and you) as the trainers train the skill. The collar simply acts as a neutral attention aid, and once we have the dog’s attention, we begin shaping a skill by guiding and directing the dog. As you view our portfolio of dog training videos and pictures, we hope that you will pay close attention to the attitude of all the dogs trained by Sit Means Sit. We direct our focus on generating and maintaining a happy and relaxed attitude in all of our dogs. This is why we are committed to showcasing our training online in order to share our training options.
