About Sit, Stay… HOORAY!!!

What they do

Sit, Stay… HOORAY!!! publishes four services: puppy training, obedience training, behavior modification and socialization. Puppy training is delivered in the client's home – the business's reasoning is that puppies learn quicker in their own environment with few distractions – and the site states 20 years of experience.

Method

The business describes itself as specializing in positive training methods and states the position directly: dogs respond better to treats, rewards and affection than to spankings, shock collars or rolled-up newspapers. Behavior modification is framed as replacing undesirable behaviors with more desirable ones through reward. Socialization work is described as gentle verbal encouragement with affection or treats, patience when the dog hesitates, and early interaction with people and other dogs.

What they emphasize

The keys to an obedient dog are given as exercise, consistency, a routine, patience and a dependable schedule – with exercise repeated for effect, on the argument that a tired dog is not inclined to be destructive.
