Make Sit Happen Dog Training - Savage, MN
With 17 years of dedicated experience in the pet industry, I am a certified dog trainer who graduated from the esteemed Animal Behavior College in 2009. As an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT), my passion for animals is reflected in the wide range of services I offer, from basic to advanced obedience training to specialized behavioral training for dogs with reactivity issues. My experience spans working with local rescues, contributing to dog training on movie sets, and a stint with Invisible Fence, showcasing my versatility and commitment to enhancing the lives of our canine companions.
I offer personalized in-home training sessions tailored to meet the unique needs of your dog. Whether it's dog agility training, pet behavior modification, or obedience training, my approach is comprehensive and compassionate. I utilize a variety of training tools, including back-clip harnesses, martingale collars, and prong collars, to ensure the safety and comfort of your pet. I believe in the power of positive reinforcement, using praise, affection, toys, and treats to motivate and nurture your furry friend. As a dog owner myself with three beloved dogs of varying ages and breeds, I understand the joy and challenges each dog brings and am committed to providing the best care possible.
I am passionate about working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds and look forward to bringing my expertise to you and your pets. My services are not only limited to dogs; I am always excited to extend my skills to other animals as well, ensuring that every pet parent feels supported.

This is going to cover all the basics for puppies, new dogs to the home, or dogs who need to brush up on the basics. We will cover sit, down, touch, place, leave it, watch me, stand, stay, come, and loose leash walking. I like to do this as a 6 week course, but can also just focus on whichever of these you are wanting to work on.
If your dog has all the basic obedience commands down, we can move on to intermediate to advanced obedience. Depending on where your dog is at, we will work on: heel, commands in motion, commands with distraction, leg weaves, peekaboo, long lead work, back up, speak, shake, play dead, spin, outside work, and really anything else you can think of. We will still use basic obedience commands, but the goal is to get them down in any and all environments and increasing distance, duration, and distraction.
This package covers separation anxiety, mild reactivity to other animals and people, mild barrier frustration, mild resource guarding, but with no bite history.
This package is for moderate to severe reactivity, for dogs who have bitten or attacked other dogs and/or people, extreme resource guarding, extreme barrier frustration, and severe anxiety. If there is a history of biting I do require a written agreement to muzzle condition and that if a bite occurs during training that it is the owners liability.
It is recommended that you already have the basic obedience commands down before signing up for these sessions. In this we will go over the 10 skills and the requirements to pass the CGC test. Unsure of if your dog is ready for this level of training?
