Why live with a dog that’s driving you nuts– just because of the coronavirus?
While the media blabbers on and on about COVID 19, you’ve probably noticed one piece of advice that the talking heads tend to gloss over:
It’s Okay To Go Outside (Especially With Your Dog!)
According to Dr. Ruth Berggren, an infectious disease specialist at UT Health San Antonio: You don’t need to stay cooped up inside your house all day as long as you’re being smart and cautious.
And according to best selling dog training author Adam G. Katz, “It’s especially important during times like these that you stimulate your dog’s mind through training and play. It prevents a buildup of frustration and anxiety.”
Your Dog Can Sense Your Emotions
As long as you maintain at least six feet from another human (and remember to wash your hands!) … you’re going to be alright.
Calm down. You’re going to be alright. Both you and your dog. But…
… your dog shouldn’t have to suffer because of this virus.
In case you’re wondering: Dogs can’t catch the coronavirus.
Thankfully.
But even though your dog is safe, is there still a possibility that somebody (a dog trainer, for example?) carrying the coronavirus could touch your dog’s coat and then you later catch the virus when you pet your dog?
Not with our newly developed “COVID 19 Safe” dog training protocol.
Here’s How You Can Still Get Your Dog Professionally Trained (Without Risking Contagion!) … Because Of Our Newly Developed “COVID 19 Safe” Dog Training Protocol
We’ve been busy developing a safety protocol that allows you to continue to get your dog to listen to you, anywhere you go– without putting you in jeopardy of catching the COVID 19 coronavirus.
Our “COVID 19 Safe” Dog Training Protocol Means That
Your Dog Won’t Miss Out On A Good Education!
This means that we at SIT MEANS SIT DOG TRAINING can still help you stop the biting, barking, nipping, chewing, pulling on the leash, running away and pretty much every other dog behavior problem you may be dealing with during these trying times. We’re offering:
- Free evaluations that are done safely… where our dog trainers maintain a safe distance from you at all times. Typically we don’t even need to handle your dog during the initial evaluation, but if we do– then we use a tie-out mechanism that you’ll easily attach your dog’s leash to– and then back away before we work with your dog. We’ll also be using plenty of hand sanitizer (and we encourage you to as well!) Another great option is our free phone consultation or Facetime consultation. This eliminates the risk of meeting Face to Face, but still allows us to get to know you and your dog.
- “Coronavirus-Safe” facility. Just to play it on the safe side we are continuing to use hospital grade cleaning chemicals (that are also safe for your dog) and have increased our already strict cleaning protocols. We are disinfecting every door handle, every place cot, and every leash after each dog along with everything else that is in our facility. We are also following the guideline of having a maximum of 10 people at a time.
- All private lessons are now conducted with distance. Our dog trainers will coach you through the handling exercises– while staying 6 feet away at all times. We are still able to handle your dog as well to work through anything you may be struggling with. If the weather permits, we will do as many lessons outside as we can.
- Calls, Texts, Emails, or Facetime: For those desperate dog owners who need to play it “extra safe” (for example, if you’re in your Golden Years or you suffer from a compromised immune system) … your dog can still benefit! We are available any day of the week to answer any questions you may have or talk through anything your dog may need help with. We can also utilize Facetime if you want us to see a certain behavior or you can send us a video via text or email. We are always here to help!
So instead of you and your dog lying around the house and losing your minds, the coronavirus may end up being the perfect opportunity to stop all of your dog’s behavior problems
