darrelhager — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:37:14 +0000

Can you imagine 300 dogs sniffing around in the grass trying to find an egg with a dog treat in it? Well, here it is once again the Chicago Doggie Easter Egg Hunt at Horner Park. Quite a sight to see- and the dogs are surprisingly good at finding the eggs with the cookies! Horner Park will be having their Annual Easter Egg Hunt for the dogs this year March 27th 2010 at 10:00 am to Noon.

Along with finding crazy doggie cookie packed eggs and getting your photo with the Easter bunny, dog owners will also be able to swing by and the Chicago Grooming Academy and Sit Means Sit Dog Training Booth. Sit Means Sit and Chicago Grooming Academy will be handing out more holiday treats as well as holding a doggie raffle with prizes including:

Free Dog Bath
Free Grooming
Free Nail Trimming
Free Weekend of Overnight Boarding
And more

There will also be Dog Training demonstrations and a chance to talk with Darrel Hager, the head trainer of Sit Means Sit Chicago and Steve Cox of The Chicago Grooming Academy.
Do you think your dog is untrainable? Could your Wheaton Terrier use a new hairdo?
Find the answers to all these questions and enjoy the holiday at the Chicago Park District located in the back of the building on the hill at 2741 W. Montrose Avenue Chicago, IL 60618.

Does a Dog Muzzle Make a Dog Mean?

darrelhager — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:17:11 +0000

Does a dog muzzle make a dog mean?
Answer: No. But you can expect that it might be a little frustrating if your dog has never worn a muzzle before. A muzzle is a great aid to keep everyone safe.

How To Train Your Dog To Sniff Out Drugs

darrelhager — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:13:58 +0000

These techniques can really be applied to teaching your dog to find any scent you can think of. The key is to teach your dog that by finding an Odor he or she can earn a reward.Click Here for a link to Directions on How to train your dog to sniff out drugs.

What is Scent Logix, and are pseudo drugs as good as the real thing? All these and more can be answered in this video interview between Fred Hassen of Sit Means Sit and David Adibempe from Scent Logix! Do you have a DEA Licence? Scent logix alows K9’s to find a very small ordor (one gram) and very large amounts of the same odor. Scent Logix’s chemically formulated training aid scent kit can simulate 800 pounds of explosives or narcotics. If one trains with only one pound of explosives or one pound of narcotics it becomes difficult for the K9 to be able to detect One thousand pounds of exposives or one thousand pounds of Narcotics. The pseudo narcotics developed by Scent Logix are much more pure than real narcotics or explosives, and of course they are completely safe to train with.

Who is currently using Scent Logix over the real thing? Answer: DEA, Special forces, Navy Seals, Police departments, sheriff departments, fire departments, and private k9 training centers all over the world,

Set up a meeting and check us out! We are located in Old Irving park near Six Corners. While we are world renowned for our Dog Training, we are now expanding to offer Dog Boarding and In Home Dog Sitting!

Any dog that has gone through any of our Dog Training programs, will also recieve a daily tune-up during their stay.

Prices are as follows:
One Dog: $50.00 per night
Two dogs: $65.00 per night

Beyond that all you’ll need to supply is their food. We have a large fenced in yard where the dogs can play. Many of our frequent doggy visitors that have reliable off leash control are known to take trips to the park or other large outdoor locations.

Saftey is of course our main concern so please let us know if your dog has any medical conditions or physical issues we should be aware of. Our boarding house and Sitters are comfortable with administrating medications and fluids via IV.

When not closely supervised, your pet will be resting in his own “area” separate from any other dogs. It is easiest for us to keep your dog in a full sized bedroom, but we do use crates if your dog is destructive or working through housebreaking issues.
