Make Sit Happen Dog Training - Savage, MN
I have been working with dogs for 17 years. I started off in doggy daycare and boarding facilities and soon after decided that I wanted to train dogs. I went through Animal Behavior College’s dog Training program and became a certified trainer in 2009. I worked with local rescues, spent a brief time working for invisible fence, helped train dogs on a couple movies, and now I do in home personal training. I love doing basic to advanced obedience, but am also well versed in behavioral training and do work with dogs with reactivity. I myself have 3 dogs: a 15 year old Chinese crested x Boston terrier, a 7 year old hound mix, and a 1 year old Saint Bernard. I love working with all ages, sizes, and breeds and can’t wait to meet you and your pups!

This is going to cover all the basics for puppies, new dogs to the home, or dogs who need to brush up on the basics. We will cover sit, down, touch, place, leave it, watch me, stand, stay, come, and loose leash walking. I like to do this as a 6 week course, but can also just focus on whichever of these you are wanting to work on.
If your dog has all the basic obedience commands down, we can move on to intermediate to advanced obedience. Depending on where your dog is at, we will work on: heel, commands in motion, commands with distraction, leg weaves, peekaboo, long lead work, back up, speak, shake, play dead, spin, outside work, and really anything else you can think of. We will still use basic obedience commands, but the goal is to get them down in any and all environments and increasing distance, duration, and distraction.
This package covers separation anxiety, mild reactivity to other animals and people, mild barrier frustration, mild resource guarding, but with no bite history.
This package is for moderate to severe reactivity, for dogs who have bitten or attacked other dogs and/or people, extreme resource guarding, extreme barrier frustration, and severe anxiety. If there is a history of biting I do require a written agreement to muzzle condition and that if a bite occurs during training that it is the owners liability.
It is recommended that you already have the basic obedience commands down before signing up for these sessions. In this we will go over the 10 skills and the requirements to pass the CGC test. Unsure of if your dog is ready for this level of training?
