Client's always ask us what we use for training treats.

We like Ziwi Peak and Vital Essentials.

1. We use a lot of treats at the beginning of training. If your dog won't work for kibble or you just want to use something yummier, these two products are super easy. Even the pickiest of dogs usually like them.

2. They both have a complete nutritional profile. When using treats, you have to back off your dog's regular food a little so they aren't over fed. Using a product with complete nutrition, you can rest assured that your dog is continuing to get all the nutrients needed.

3. Price - they are a bit expensive. But....they are very small and go a long way plus the good nutrition makes it worth every penny.

Let us know if you have any questions about treats or training. 618-923-1871 Ready Set Sit Real-Dogs-Real People-Real Life

Cooper is our current board and train. He is just a big, loveable, goofy, jumpy, bouncy, mouthy turkey bumpkis giving his momma all kinds of trouble.

His first training session was Tuesday late afternoon. That is the first part of the video. He was being mild compared to how he usually is. The second part of the video was taken this morning.

He's coming along nicely!

Down Stay! Sage LOVES that ball! She seeks it out the moment she walks in the building. If we aren't training, she is playing with it. So what better thing to use as a distraction for her.
Sage nailed it! Nobody said she couldn't try to catch it🤣. Just don't get up.

Giving a shout out to Nathan on his hard work with his puppy Samson.

Samson is holding the park command while his daughter runs around and then he and his daughter play on the floor. He started this skill a little over a week ago.

Super proud of the work that the owners put in to achieve this!

This is the product of a desire for a situation to change and willing to do what it takes to achieve it.

My first time coming to this client's home, was a bit chaotic. The dogs were barking and it took several minutes for the owner to get the dogs away from the door to be able to even open it. Once the door started opening, the dogs came rushing.

One of the first things I taught was what we refer to as boundaries. Teaching a dog not to cross a boundary line. In this scenario, it's the doorway.

They put in the work, were consistent with the rules and now they're reaping the benefits.

Yes, your dog can do this too!

The measure of a dog's sniffer...
What do you think is the smallest measurement of sugar that a dog can smell in the collective water of 2 Olympic size pool which comes out to 1,320,000 gallons of water?
Drop your answer in the comments. I will give the answer this evening.

It's hot out there! Please keep in mind that dog's paws will burn and blister just like yours on the hot pavement, sand etc.

Use the 7 second rule to check the surface for safety before walking your dog.

Things you can do....
Keep to early mornings and late evenings when it isn't so hot to exercise your furry companion.
Dog shoes - This is a good option to protect your dog's paws from hot and cold surfaces.

If you have any questions about summer safety for you dog or are interested in our training programs, please contact us at 618-923-1871. Ready Set Sit. Real Dogs - Real People - Real Life

☀️Summer is here and it's time for swimming!

If you have a pool and a dog, please make sure your dog knows how to swim and how to get out of your pool.

Installing a pool ramp is an excellent safety measure and one we can't recommend highly enough.
A quick Google search....pool ramps for dogs, will bring up a wide assortment of options. A ramp can not only save your dog but can also help other little critters that might fall in.

Pictured is Sadie from several years ago. She was not a fan of the water or the raft. Note the side eye🤭. But, she had to learn to get out of the pool.
