Chicago Dog Training

This is a video of our Chicago Trainer Darrel and his Pitbull Nikita. Any dog going though our program is going to learn to pay attention to their owner no matter what is going on around them. We are able to create this over and over again with any dog and any behavioral issue. The Sit Means Sit system is the most versatile training system out there.

Sit Means Sit Dog Training in Chicago, Illinois

Imagine if you could truly communicate with your dog.

You say, “Sit!” He sits.
You say, “Come!” He comes.
You say, “Good boy!” And he enthusiastically wags his tail, while waiting for his next command.

Not only would your life be better, but more importantly, so would your pet’s life. In fact, it’s not a leap to suggest it would dramatically improve if your dog could understand what you want whenever you give a command. Why? Because your dog wants you to give him direction and by understanding what you want, he’ll be able to live without anxiety. This direction and leadership will make him a calm, relaxed, and happy dog – and that’ll make you a happy dog owner.

The Sit Means Sit training system is such a rapid and transferable skill that you don’t have to be an expert to train your dog quickly and easily. Keep in mind, there is no problem too big or too small. We train dogs of all ages—both puppies and adult dogs—and all sizes, from Chihauahuas to Great Danes. No matter whether your dog’s obedience level is basic or advanced, you can expect the improvements you need and want. When you need dog obedience training in Illinois look to Sit Means Sit to bring you the best, most innovative and effective method available.

Are you looking for this kind of connection with your dog? At our Chicago dog obedience training school we use Sit Means Sit techniques for results-based training to teach both you and your dog to communicate effectively with each other. This opens all kinds of opportunities for both of you. That’s because the Sit Means Sit training method teaches you how to get your dog’s attention and keep it. Your pooch will love the freedom that this allows. For instance, you’

ll be able to go for a walk or a run in the park without a leash! This allows your dog to get all his crazy energy out naturally, which makes him even more happy and attentive.

Here are just a few of the problems that we can help with:

• Leash-Pulling: Does your dog pull when you walk her, discouraging you from even bothering to take her out?
• Counter-surfing: Does your dog grab food off the counter or table?
• Aggressive Behavior: Is your dog violent or aggressive, barking at other dogs or people while at the park or on walks?
• Submissive Behavior: Is your dog timid, afraid of other dogs and humans?
• Frequent Barking: Does your dog bark incessantly, or at the smallest noise?
• Mouthing: Does your puppy chew your hand or your furniture?

You name it, and we can make it happen. At Sit Means Sit Chicago, we want to accomplish what you want, by helping you enjoy your dog, instead of being frustrated with him. If you’re ready to help your dog lead a happy, stress-free life, call now and set up your free in-home demonstration and evaluation—at no obligation to you.

This last video contains footage from the Chicago Police and Security Expo from 2008. You will see Darrel Hager from our Chicago location, and Fred Hassen the Sit Means Sit Founder and CEO, demonstrating how the Sit Means Sit system applies to all aspect of dog training including Police K9 Training. A Police K9 Handler, as much as anyone, needs to have control over their dog, especially in public situations. You can see Darrel’s pitbull exercise control and understanding as she goes directly from a full mouth attack to softly holding an unprotected hand in her mouth.  (312) 618-9663
