About Sit, Stay Pawsitive! LLC

Sit, Stay Pawsitive! LLC is a dog training business on NY-434 in Owego, run by its owner Ceceilia. The site is short and specific about method: the training on offer is reward-based, and the business states plainly which tools it will not use.

Method

The owner describes her approach as science-based and gentle, saying she educates owners on how to strengthen the bond with their dog rather than simply issuing corrections. The site is explicit that no force, fear or intimidation is used in training, and it names the equipment that is off the table: no prong collars, no choke chains, no shock or e-collars. The training pages describe rewards-based techniques used to teach dogs new behaviors and cues, on the stated belief that training should be enjoyable for the dog and the owner together.

Behavior modification

Alongside general training, Sit, Stay Pawsitive! publishes a behavior modification program aimed at dogs with unwanted behaviors. The four the site names are reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding and fear. The stated approach is force-free technique used to help a dog learn new coping mechanisms and build positive associations, rather than suppressing the behavior.

The site carries a dedicated Certifications and Memberships page and links out to its Google and Facebook reviews.

Booking
