Proactive Measures in Action<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Five Fresh Air Exchangers<\/strong>
    \nEvery kennel and training room at Sit Means Sit is equipped with top-tier variable fresh air exchangers. These systems ensure a continuous supply of fresh air, maintaining an optimal environment for our dogs’ respiratory health.<\/li>\n
  2. Multiple, Separate Kennel Rooms<\/strong>
    \nOur facility features multiple kennel rooms with a small number of dogs in each, significantly minimizing the risk of cross-contamination should a dog start exhibiting symptoms.<\/li>\n
  3. Well-Trained, Vigilant Staff<\/strong>
    \nEvery member of our team, from trainers to office staff, are skilled in identifying initial signs and symptoms of respiratory illness in dogs. Their expertise enables swift, accurate identification and immediate action to protect other dogs from potential exposure.<\/li>\n
  4. Rigorous Cleaning Protocols<\/strong>
    \nWe adhere to stringent cleaning procedures throughout our facility, throughout every day. These protocols uphold impeccable hygiene standards, significantly reducing the risk of infection transmission.<\/li>\n
  5. Solid-Front Kennels<\/strong>
    \nTo reduce the spread of airborne particulates, each kennel is built with a solid front, mitigating the transmission of respiratory diseases among our pups.<\/li>\n
  6. Independent Climate Systems<\/strong>
    \nEach kennel and training room is equipped with independent climate control systems, ensuring fewer dogs share the same air supply, reducing the likelihood of disease transmission.<\/li>\n
  7. Small Trainer-to-Dog Ratios<\/strong>
    \nOur trainers work with only two to four dogs per day, allowing them to keep a close and careful eye on any potential health risks while creating the best training experience possible. Small ratios also keep dogs from being around dozens of other dogs at once.<\/li>\n
  8. Wellness Checks<\/strong>
    \nThroughout a training program, our commitment to ongoing vigilance includes frequent wellness checks. These enable us to identify and address any instances of coughing or potential illness.<\/li>\n
  9. Quick Response Action Plan<\/strong>
    \nIf there is a suspected case of respiratory illness, we have an established action plan which includes immediate isolation, effective communication with pet owners, and enhanced cleaning to contain and eliminate the spread of illness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
