Sit, Stay, Fetch Training Package Review

I am so thrilled with the progress that my poodle, Max, has made on the Sit, Stay, Fetch program that I absolutely had to share my experience with all of you.  But before, we begin let me give you a little history.  

When I first adopted Max from the dog shelter, I knew absolutely nothing about puppies. I just saw him in the window an he was just so darned cute and looked so sad in that horrible crate. My friend tried to talk me out of it but I just couldn’t leave him there. After all, it was love at first sight. Anyway, things were great at first. I mean, Max became very attached to me very soon. Wherever I went, this cute little ball of fur followed me everywhere. He was just so cut and was so full of life and spunk.  Whenever I came home, he was so excited to see me. He even piddled on the floor to welcome me home. And, whenever I went from one room to the other, he was right behind me. He slept at the foot of my bed and cried whenever he couldn’t be near me.  

I thought this was normal puppy behavior so I wasn’t too concerned. Well, as he grew, I began to notice changes in the way that Max would behave.  When I got ready to leave for work in the morning, he would seem very upset.  He’d jump up on me and whine like he was telling me not to leave him.  The first couple of times Max did this, I thought it was weird but kinda cute. However, around the time when Max was a year old, things got worse. 

I could see him scratching the window frantically when I would leave and he whined and cried so loud that I could hear him all the way outside.  This was very upsetting to me because this wasn’t Max’s usual self.  When I got home, Max would be extremely excited.  I would spend half an hour trying to calm him down before I could move on away from him.  When I did move away from him, I would find things destroyed, shoes and other items chewed to pieces, things knocked over.  It would look like a burglar had come into my house and chewed up things while he searched for my valuables!

I took Max to the vet, who gave me a few pointers and asked me to monitor his behavior.  He didn’t tell me what was wrong with Max, but suggested that he might have some sort of anxiety issue.  I followed the tips he gave me and saw no improvement.  Things got somewhat better because I basically had to ‘Max proof’ the house.  I made sure that there was nothing he could damage and that he had treats and toys to play with while I was gone.  However, I noticed that Max began getting sores on his paws and legs.  Upset at this, I took Max back to the vet.  I was absolutely heartbroken to learn that he was doing this to himself by licking and chewing and that it was due to his anxiety.   I was absolutely at a loss.  The vet recommended a local trainer to help me work with Max.  The first day I took Max to the trainer, he was really rough with Max and jerked on his collar quite roughly to make him listen.  Well, you can imagine the earful that I gave that man before I scooped Max up and took him back home.  I can’t tell you how upset I was.  Then, through research in trying to find out what I could possibly do, I ran across the page for the SitStayFetch Training package.   

Reading through the reviews and the information that was on the page, I finally had a glimmer of hope to help my little buddy!  I wish I would have found the Sit, Stay, Fetch Training package when I first got Max.  There is information for individuals who have just gotten a puppy that is very likely to keep dogs from ever having to go through some of these behavior problems.  From ownership responsibility to choosing the right kind of breed for you and choosing a veterinarian for your new puppy, this part is great for people who want or have just gotten a puppy. 

The information that helped me the most, however, taught me how to understand dogs and how they communicate.  They actually do have a whole language that consists of body movements and different attitudes!  I recognized many of the tings that Max does in there right away!  There is so much information that addresses behavior problems as well.  From a jumping dog, a barking dog and an aggressive dog to a dog that fights with others, digs and chews things, this package covers it all!  My favorite part, however was the part where I learned how to teach Max to do different tricks and things with commands.  He’s just the perfect little entertainer and his behavior has improved ten fold! 

Immediately I noticed that SitStayFetch Training program  worked through positive reinforcement, and NOT punishing your dog.  This is something I feel very strongly about and that’s one of the reasons I was so comfortable beginning this program.  Also, the photos were great because I could actually see the images and understand exactly how to perform certain things.  All this wrapped into one amazing program plus the bonuses which taught me so much!  I am so happy with the progress that Max has made. 

I then learned that through the Sit, Stay, Fetch Training program, poor Max suffered with severe separation anxiety as well as several other problems.  When we started working with the program, within a week I saw amazing results in Max.  I just couldn’t believe the progress that we made.  He stopped being nervous every time I left and when I came home, he was happy to see me, but he wasn’t overboard like he had been.  Soon the sores healed on Max and there was no more chewing or licking.  I can’t tell you how happy I am that Max is happy and well adjusted.  We have our old dog back now and I am thrilled!  Thank you so very much!
