Kody and I joined many other vendors and participants in this annual walk to benefit the services offered by The Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. Sit Means Sit sponsored the registration booth for this event. Many people braved the unseasonably cold temperatures to support this great cause.

Busy Weekend for Sit Means Sit of Palm Beach
The staff of Sit Means Sit of Palm Beach had a very busy weekend. We did three events.
First, on Friday Night, we attended the Pretty In The City event hosted by SUNNY 104.3 to benefit the Office Depot Foundation. The night was filled with music, food, drinks and 3,000 women celebrating. Yeah, we had a good time.
The next morning we did a 5 mile walk at John Prince Park to raise money to find the cure for arthritis.
That afternoon we were at The Holistic Pet Cuisine for their meet the trainer event. We answered the various questions that the clients had regarding behavioral and training issues.
Kacey shows that she can also heel nicely
Kacey is my 6 month Vizsla mix puppy. She sees her brother Kody get so much attention when he heels, so she shows she can also.
Kody and I attended the Sit Means Sit Police K9 School
Kody and I had the opportunity to attend and assist Fred Hassen with the Sit Means Sit K9 School that was held in Polk County Florida. The purpose of the school was not to teach tactics, but to teach a higher level of control for the K9 teams. The handlers soon realized that through better control, they had more options open to them. We had a great time and Kody learned some new skills and had alot of fun in the process. We want to thank Fred for his instruction and the deputies of Polk County and the officers of Lakeland Police. We learned alot from you.
K9 Practice- Getting Kody ready for school
Kody and I will be participating in a Police K9 School that will be instructed by Fred Hassen. Shown here is some basic Police K9 courses that Police Dogs are tested on. First is the walking course. Dog stays with you as the handler walks out, makes a right, walks out, makes a right, walks out. Some courses have gun fire at this point. Dog and handler then returns to the start. I changed things up a bit for the return. Control of the dog is essential, but I really put some distance into this practice run. Looking forward to learning new techniques and polishing up existing ones with Fred Hassen.
South Florida Police Expo 2009
Sit Means Sit Trainer Bob Burnell and his dog Kody participated in the South Florida Police, Fire, and Security Expo at the Palm Beach Convention Center. Once again, Sit Means Sit showed off our style of training and the benefits that can be achieved. This year, we brought our new puppy- Kacey. I am not sure which dog impressed the crowd more.

Introducing Kacey
Sit Means Sit of Palm Beach is happy to introduce our newest staff member. Kacey is a 9wk Vizsla/Golden Retriever mix and she will be amazing. We look forward to sharing her with you. This video was shot on her first 24 hours with us. She is cute and very smart.
Crush
Here is Crush, one of my newer client’s dogs. Crush knows many commands, but like most dogs can become lost when a distraction comes into play. We had a great time with him and the client has already seen a difference in his behavior. Dogs that are under control tend to be calmer and more relaxed.
2009 West Palm Beach Home Show
Kody and I participated in the 2009 West Palm Beach Home Show at the South Florida Fairgrounds. This video focuses more on the fun we had at the show, then Kody’s talents. We were located at the Pet Pavillion with several other dog related vendors. The staff and fellow vendors were all great and Kody had a blast posing with some of the vendor’s products. The fashion show drew quite a crowd.
