Welcome to Cut The Sit Dog Training!

At Cut The Sit, we’re passionate about helping you and your dog achieve the best life together. Training isn’t just about teaching behaviors—it’s about building a strong, lasting bond rooted in trust and understanding. Every dog is unique, and so is every training journey. We’re here to help guide you every step of the way, empowering you with the tools and support you need to succeed.

This guide is your starting point. Whether you’re addressing specific challenges, setting foundational skills, or simply strengthening your connection, we’re excited to partner with you. Together, let’s unlock your dog’s potential and set the stage for a happier, more fulfilling relationship!

Foundational Training Principles

1. Practice Calm Leadership: Your dog looks to you for guidance. By remaining calm and confident, you create a stable environment where they feel secure and ready to learn.

2. Reward the Good, Guide the Rest: Celebrate and reinforce positive behaviors while providing clear, fair boundaries for those that need improvement. Balance is key to achieving lasting results.

3. Consistency is Everything: Dogs thrive when they know what to expect. Keeping your cues, routines, and rules consistent helps your dog feel confident and sets them up for success.

4. Training is a Team Effort: Everyone involved in your dog’s life—family members, friends, caregivers—should be on the same page. Unified communication and rules create a supportive environment for your dog to excel.

5. Every Dog’s Journey is Unique: Your dog is one-of-a-kind, and their training journey should reflect that. Tailor your approach to meet their individual personality, needs, and learning style. Together, you’ll find what works best for both of you.

Approaching Behavior Challenges

Behavior challenges are a normal part of life with dogs, but they also offer an opportunity to learn and grow together. Instead of focusing on the “why” behind behaviors, let’s focus on solutions that strengthen your bond and improve communication:

1. Stay Patient and Consistent: Change doesn’t happen overnight, but with time and consistency, even the toughest challenges can be overcome.

2. Build New Habits Together: Replace unwanted behaviors by teaching your dog new, positive habits to meet their needs.

3. Keep the Training Fun and Engaging: Dogs learn best when training is a positive experience. Use games, rewards, and praise to make it something they look forward to.

4. Support Between Lessons: Training is an ongoing journey, not a one-time event. Between lessons, reinforce the skills you’re working on, and don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance if needed. We’re here to help you every step of the way!

What to Expect

Your free virtual consultation is designed to be an enjoyable, informative, and collaborative experience. Think of it as the first step toward building a stronger bond with your dog. Here’s how we’ll make the most of our time together:

1. Personalized Attention: This isn’t a one-size-fits-all chat. Every dog is unique, and so are their needs. We’ll tailor the conversation to focus on what matters most to you and your dog. Whether it’s specific behaviors, broader training goals, or just figuring out where to start, we’ve got you covered.

2. A Deep Dive Into Your Dog’s World: We’ll explore your dog’s habits, daily routine, and personality, giving us a complete picture of their life. The more we understand, the better equipped we’ll be to develop an approach that truly fits.

3. Insights and Solutions: You’ll walk away with actionable tips and strategies to start addressing key challenges or behaviors right away. These won’t be cookie-cutter suggestions—they’ll be practical steps that make sense for your unique situation.

4. A Foundation for Success: Together, we’ll lay the groundwork for a happier, more balanced relationship with your dog. We’ll discuss next steps and how we can partner with you to achieve long-term results.

How to Prepare

1. Reflect on Your Goals: Think about what you’d like to achieve through training. Are you hoping to work on specific behaviors, build a stronger connection, or set a foundation for long-term success?

2. Observe and Take Notes: Spend some time paying close attention to your dog’s habits, daily routine, and any behaviors you’d like to improve. Make note of triggers, stressors, or anything that stands out.

3. Prepare Questions: Write down any questions or concerns you have. This is your chance to address anything that’s been on your mind, no matter how big or small.

4. Create a Comfortable Space: Choose a quiet, distraction-free area with a stable internet connection. Having your dog nearby during the consultation can also help us better understand their behavior and personality.

Next Steps

After your consultation, we’ll provide you with a customized training plan tailored to your dog’s unique needs. The journey doesn’t end there—stay connected with us for ongoing tips, support, and updates.
