Transforming Dog Training: Sit n' Sip Seminars Foster Pet Owner Education in a New and Innovative Way
It is widely recognized that most dog training involves teaching the human at the other end of the leash how to “speak dog.” However, many training sessions can become chaotic, with owners struggling to control their excited dogs while treats spill on the ground. Meanwhile, they often miss crucial instructions from the trainer due to the barking of other dogs in the class. As a result, they might retain only about 30% of the information presented during the session. Kendall and Chandler Brown, the owners of Custom K9 Service Dogs, are changing the dog training landscape with a unique approach to this issue. Their innovative Sit n' Sip Seminars provide dog owners with an opportunity to learn in a more conducive environment, offering glasses of wine and gourmet cheese without dogs present. The Sit n' Sip seminars cover essential topics such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, anxiety management, and interpreting canine body language to prevent dog fights. They also include games designed to enhance understanding of how dogs learn. In a distraction-free setting, owners can easily grasp these important principles, which helps them develop the skills and knowledge needed to foster desired behaviors and improve their relationship with their dogs. "Our mission is to empower owners to 'speak dog' and cultivate a deeper bond with their pets," says Kendall Brown. "By minimizing the typical distractions found in traditional training sessions, we provide an opportunity for clients to truly engage with the material and absorb it in a fun way, ultimately speeding up the training process." Hosted in their inviting home in Carson City, the Sit n' Sip Seminars create a vibrant community atmosphere where dog owners can connect over shared experiences. Priced at just $50 per person, these hour-and-a-half seminars are designed to bring joy and accessibility to all who wish to enhance their pet-parenting journey. With extensive experience in dog training, Kendall and Chandler are committed to fostering strong connections between people and their canine companions through education. Their business, Custom K9 Service Dogs, stands out in the community for its excellence. They strive to empower dogs and their owners with knowledge, evidenced by their award-winning books, "10 Secrets of a Lazy Dog Trainer" and "Let's Get a Dog!" along with inspiring television interviews. They look forward to welcoming new participants for an evening filled with learning, connection, and fun.
