 HOW MANY OF THESE COMMANDS DOES YOUR DOG KNOW?


Here is a great video of a handler giving their dog many different commands consecutively to test their understanding and listening skills.  Repetition is a powerful tool to to strengthen these commands and to build their stamina.  This handler is also proofing by doing all of these commands from a distance.  'Off-leash' training is advanced but so wonderful once you've achieved this level.   

We encourage you to use your creativity just like Fred Hassen to create these drills and use them to see your dogs strengths and weaknesses.   
Franchise Opportunities Are Available!

You love this training, your dog looks sharp as a tack, you've even taught him how to push a refreshment cart at dinner parties - you're having a blast working with your four-legged pal. But in the back of your mind you KNOW that you could be doing even more. That maybe you weren't just meant to help your furry friend, you were meant to help LOTS of dogs. If this is you, and you've been bitten by the bug to do great things with this training, give us a call at 312-618-9663 and we'd love to talk to you about opening your own Sit Means Sit franchise.

Please note there is a new collar warranty policy

 

1.  Should you have a problem with your collar, call or e-mail: 

Customer Care # 1-800-732-0144 

Customer Care Email - info@sportdog.net

 

2.  Identify yourself as having a Sit Means Sit SMS system. 

 

3.   The collar is fully covered and SportDog will troubleshoot the problem with you to determine if a replacement unit is necessary or if just a replacement part is required (i.e. antenna, charger, etc). 

 

4.  Send your broken/damaged unit in to SportDog once you receive the return shipping label.

 
NOTE: SportDog does not require a proof of purchase for the 'Red-Faced' Sit Means Sit units. ALL other systems will require a proof of purchase in order to service the warranty on the units. As long as the receipt reflects amount of sale for the item, date, and which franchise sold the unit, it will be honored. Even a hand written receipt from a carbon copy receipt book will suffice.
