Jedi the Shiba Inu | Puppy Package

We got Jedi from a breeder on the east coast and on his first day home, we noticed he had some aggression issues. A couple days pass and as he got more comfortable settling in at home, we discovered that Jedi was very territorial and possessive with food and later found he was also aggressive towards other dogs. I would be so afraid to grab a bone from him without getting attacked. This behavior only got worse the next few days and I knew I had to get help. I found out about the Sit Means Sit program through a couple of old friends and emailed Ryan (TuHai) immediately.

During his initial visit for Jedi’s free consultation, we had a candid conversation about Jedi’s behavior and what, in our minds, would be a picture perfect result of training. Jedi was only 8.5 weeks old so we started with the puppy package which included 4 in-home training sessions. During these 4 weeks, Ryan (TuHai) addressed Jedi’s aggression and helped us lay down the basic foundation of commands. We decided to sign Jedi up for 2 weeks of board and train to give him around the clock training with Tuhai and his assistant Taylor. Receiving video updates on Jedi’s training every couple of days were definitely the highlights of my week. The results truly speak for themselves. Jedi came home a more well-behaved and obedient pup. I can walk him off leash, his recall is darn near perfect, and he learned to control his aggression.

Throughout this process, I admit that I was just as much Tuhai’s student as Jedi was.

Learning to trust Jedi and get over my anxiety after being bitten was not easy.  I could not say enough good things or thank Tuhai enough for everything he’s done for us and for Jedi. He really takes the time to listen to our concerns and customize a to fit our need.  

Training doesn’t stop here! Once you enroll in one of the training programs, you are a part of the Sit Means Sit family for life. Tuhai hosts group class every weekend to help you and your dog continue learning new commands or brush up on old ones. It’s also a great opportunity to socialize with other dogs and dog owners.

It’s an investment you and your dog will benefit from the rest of your life.
