Here is a short dog training video from our recent Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida. It was a great time training with Fred Hassen from Las Vegas, Dave Skoletsky from Denver, and the entire Sit Means Sit gang from our Florida locations. My Sit Means Sit Atlanta Dog Training team will be on hand at the upcoming Atlanta Pet Expo in May 2009. You can find more details here.
Chris, Darin, Zeke, Nix, Lilly, Bauer, and my personal favorite "Just Jack",
Thank you so much for taking the time to come to our facility with your dogs. Under normal circumstances the children that are in our care would never have had the chance to experience such a demonstration. We are a residential facility for kids in crisis, many of the children will live in our care for up to a year and most of the children in our care have been "in the system" for quite sometime. This experience was positive from so many aspects. Being able to touch, hug and pet your dogs brightened their day. Showing them that dogs have so many different roles in society, not just drug or police related was such an education. You opened their eyes and their hearts. For many days afterwards the children in our care talked about how high Lilly jumped, how Bauer was much like them when they can not pay attention and need a redirection and how happy they felt when they pet Jack. Who knows maybe we will have a dog trainer in our mix? Your ease with our children and the natural instinct your dogs showed was so healing. Especially in long-term care facilities, it seems everyone is entertained by animal visits in some way and you did just that!!! As so often happens in this line of work children express the sadness over having left a pet at home after being placed in care, the grief over a lost pet or the desire to one day own a pet. Your day spent with us filled some of that void.
I can not thank you enough for your time spent with us and for your dedication to your profession. You are both so much more than "dog trainers".
From the bottom of our hearts,
