When we get a call from an owner struggling with an unwanted behavior, there are a few things we look at once we rule out a medical cause:

1. How can we manage this behavior? 🤔
2. What do we want to the dog to do instead? 💡
3. Are all of the dog's needs being met? 🦴

When our dogs do things like chase, mouth, dig, bark and other doggy behaviors humans may find frustrating, it is important to remember that our dogs have instinctual needs to do these things. Sometimes a big part of the solution for a behavioral "problem" is simply to give them a more appropriate outlet to do these things.

Check out our latest blog for five different ways you can get your dog using their brain and body in enriching ways this winter!

We have a super special addition to the Where Sit Happens family. Meet Cheese! 🧀

Cheese is Jess’s newest addition and we are so excited to have her home after two flights and a very long day! She’ll be in Puppy Pre-K classes with our puppy crew for socialization opportunities ASAP and will of course be around the facility. She’d LOVE nothing more than to meet you and share her puppy breath 💜

Welcome sweet girl!

A big shout out to our friends Luna (left) and Frankie (right)! Luna tends to get quite overexcited when she is around other dogs leading to unwanted behaviors like barking, jumping, nipping as a result of overarousal, etc.

Her mom has worked hard in classes with her and our training team is currently working with her in our Day School “Tutoring” Program where we help her learn what appropriate play looks like!

Frankie is an amazing teacher and is the most wonderful dog to show a new friend the ropes of socializing.

Well done to all! ❤️

Dogs can't communicate with us via words so they have to use their bodies. Unfortunately for us, some of that language is very subtle!

Take a look at this picture of this dog and child. What are you seeing in his body language?

Yesterday Karen Pryor, the founder of the Karen Pryor Academy and the pioneer of positive reinforcement training as we know it, passed away at 92. Karen was the first to teach that animals not only deserve humane training methods but need to be viewed as the sentient beings they are.

As a graduate of the Academy I know Karen Pryor has changed my life significantly and I am so grateful. She is the reason Where Sit Happens exists and it is her methodology and interest in behavioral science that completely changed the course of my life, many trainers' lives, and the lives of countless animals. There are not many people that can say they had SUCH an impact.

Here's to Karen, continuing to advocate for ethical training methods and pushing for more regulation in our industry.

About Karen Pryor Karen Pryor, publicity photo for Oceanic Institute, about 1968. Karen Pryor had many interests. She was an observer of the smallest detail (as a child she studied butterfly anatomy) but what made her life’s work exceptional was that she also saw the big picture. It would have bee...

Macsen rang in the new year with his first puppy class! During our cooperative care/body handling portion he was so brave checking out the vet scale 😀

Exposing puppies carefully and positively to new surfaces and experiences help them become confident, happy adults later in life!
