Empowering Dogs with Communication
Training That Builds Confidence—Not Compliance
At Sit Means Sit Cleveland-Akron, we believe training should build dogs up—not hold them back. That’s why we use tools that support clarity, consistency, and choice—like our remote training system.
With this system, dogs learn to stay calm and confident, even when distractions appear. For example, whether it’s a rabbit darting across the yard or a busy trail filled with people, we guide dogs to make smarter decisions. This helps maintain their happiness, independence, and trust in their handler.
Why Our Remote System Works 
We’ve trained thousands of dogs with this system, and here’s why it works:
- First, adjustable stimulation levels help us find each dog’s “working level”—the lowest setting they feel without discomfort.
- Plus, the collar is waterproof and built to last, so it performs well in everyday situations.
- Reliable 1/4-mile range with a 1″ micro antenna
- Fully waterproof design (remote and collar submersible up to 25 ft.)
- SD-825SMS charging cable included
- Receiver modes for sensitive, normal, and stubborn dogs
- Quick 2-hour charge technology with lithium-ion batteries
- Expands to control up to 3 dogs on one remote
- Re-programmable remote transmitter with 7 programming modes to suit different training styles
- Heavy-duty spring grip belt clip included
- User-reprogrammable remote transmitter frequency
- Lightweight transmitter at 4.0 ounces, designed to float
- Collar receiver weighs only 3.3 ounces with strap, featuring an ergonomic shape
- Unlimited lifetime warranty, (including physical damage coverage)
As a result, dogs stay focused and confident—even when distractions pop up.
This system is only available through Sit Means Sit. That’s because it reflects our core belief: training should be humane, effective, and strengthen the bond between dogs and their people.
The Psychology Behind the Collar
At Sit Means Sit, we use our remote system to encourage attention and engagement—not to punish. It works like a tap on the shoulder, adjustable to match your dog’s level of excitement or distraction.
For example, picture your dog starting to chase a distraction. A gentle cue from the collar interrupts the behavior. Then, when your dog turns back to you, the cue stops. That moment reinforces a powerful lesson: “I control the outcome. I choose to listen.”
Over time, this approach builds confidence—not fear. And best of all, it works across breeds, ages, and temperaments.
Before choosing any training tool, it’s important to understand the ethical considerations—especially when the tool influences behavior from a distance.

Responsible Training Starts with Education
We don’t hand clients a remote and hope for the best. Instead, every Sit Means Sit graduate learns how to use the system with confidence, ethics, and skill.
As part of our training, clients learn to:
- Identify their dog’s true working level—the lowest setting the dog notices without discomfort
- Pair cues with praise and rewards to reinforce positive behavior
- Avoid overuse or reacting emotionally during training
- Use the collar to support—not replace—relationship-based communication
