Sit Pretty Dog Training

Boston based team of certified dog trainers and behavior consultants offer real world dog training. Does your dog lunge or pull at other dogs on walks?
(11)

Does your dog ignore you when you give her commands outside of your house? Is your dog too excited to greet you politely when you get home? Is your dog sensitive to visitors, vet visits, or just the challenges of city life? Do you want to learn to communicate with your dog and build a positive relationship? Sit Pretty Dog Training is here to help you. We’ll teach your dog how to communicate with y

ou in an appropriate way, while keeping your relationship with your dog positive and fun. We can help with:

- Basic obedience for any stage of life;
- Acclimation work with newly rescued dogs;
- Going back to the basics with dogs that may not have the right answer out in the real world. We will come to you and work in the comfort of your home to make sure your dog has the right foundations to take into more distracting and stimulating environments. Then we can move those foundations and behaviors out into the real world where you need them most. Now scheduling private lessons by appointment. Please inquire about scheduling group classes for basic obedience, reactive dogs, and desensitization to veterinary clinics and procedures.

Long overdue Carol appreciation post. Earlier this year, Carol officially became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, Inc.

To receive this certification, a trainer needs to have completed 300 hours of training in the last 3 years, sign a code of ethics, and take a 200 question test! Whew! Dog training isn't a regulated industry, but we strive to make sure we are doing our best to support your families by staying up to date with our training knowledge and skills.

Okay, it keeps not getting any better. Seems like a day to prep and feed some ice treats!

Good reminders! Have a safe night, all!

On July 4, many animals become startled or frightened by the noise of fireworks. This may cause them to flee from familiar environments and people, and sadly become lost.

Ensure they are wearing their tags and that their microchips are current with correct contact information. New technology includes GPS collars and geo location tags.

Provide safe zones and sound buffers indoors to minimize stress.

If they must go outside, they must be on a leash.

Having a dreary, rainy Sunday? Here is Parker running through a field of flowers to cheer you! #parkerintheflowers

It’s almost the weekend and it feels so good! Here’s Parker celebrating Friday (this was actually on Wednesday, but I assume he was celebrating Friday). He’s working on recall and calmly watching passerby, but he’s pictured here just working on being the best. #parker #jamaicaplaindogs
