Mufasa

Mufasa's Journey with Sit, Stay, and Play

Our journey began at Sit, Stay, and Play when Mufasa was four months old. My husband and I had and still have German Shorthairs for over 30 years, but after our daughter rescued a dog that was half Great Pyrenees we wanted a Pyr of our own. Knowing that Mufasa would grow into a giant dog, we knew excellent training would be a must! Mufasa started beginners with Kathy Varkados as our trainer, and before we knew it he earned his AKC Star Puppy award. We continued to intermediate classes and he earned his Canine Good Citizen. He loved coming to classes so much that there were days we had to coax him to leave when his class was over.

In October and November of 2023, Mufasa passed the AKC Temperament Test that was offered at Sit, Stay, and Play. We decided that there was one more test for Mufasa to pursue and that was to become a therapy dog.

On December 9, 2023, he passed his test and has already started his therapy visits. The benefits go both ways, Mufasa is so happy to please people and the people he visits can't get enough of him!

We credit Sit, Stay, and Play for the high-quality training and Kathy Varkados for her wisdom and genuine love of dogs.

I have 3 dogs, different breeds, and different personalities. The group classes are standard training classes from beginner and up, but the trainers focus on each personality trait of the dogs in the group and teach you how to train your dog the same commands as everyone else, but tailored to the dogs individual personality or specific behaviors that want to be addressed. Sit, Stay and Play taught me how to bring out the best in my dogs, and taught me how to be the best for my dogs!

Our trainer, Kathy, did an amazing job instructing ME so my pup could have a calm, consistent leader. Pack your patience and don’t get discouraged…your pup will be mentally exhausted after the one hour lesson. Each week she would give us individualized pointers and tweak our technique, in a gentle encouraging way. Thank you!
