Puppy Foundation Advanced Course Agreement

We use force-free, science-based methods for our training

At Sit Happens we are obsessed with the mental wellbeing of dogs and their guardians. We know that dog owners need pragmatic, hands-on, easy solutions to implement in their day-to-day lives and we know what dogs need to be satisfied and happy. We train using solution-based methods while considering these three overlapping sets of considerations: human, canine and lifestyle.

• We work with the Code of Ethics of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers New Zealand.

• Building that special bond and relationship with your dog based on mutual trust and respect.

• Consistent & clear communication makes your dog look to you for guidance, and be your loyal companion for life.

• Using training methods that are data & science-based, gentle, kind, empathetic, individualised/tailored and reward-based: informed by science, guided by empathy and governed by ethics!

• Encouraging your dog and your family to make better choices whilst avoiding doing any harm that would come from using fear, force or intimidation.

• Making dog training easy to implement in everyday life, providing the guardian with simple techniques and plans.

• We believe that true professionals are never done learning and invest in constant up-skilling, including going to conferences at least once a year.
