What is SATS?

Syn Alia Training System (SATS) is an integrated training system, with Bridge and Target, Vocabulary, Perception Modification, Cycles, and more. People can communicate with animals with startling ease and without physical force or constraint. Best of all, SATS continues to evolve, empowering people with better and faster techniques for realizing their animal goals.

• Stress-free bathing, clipping, worming, vaccinations, general examinations, etc. Dogs can learn to stack themselves and keep their attitude in conformation, to perfect a heel, to solidify a recall.

• Dogs can learn directions, body parts and tricks. Horses can be taught directions, dressage maneuvers, reining maneuvers, etc.

• Animals can be taught to pick up a specific foot, and know other body parts

• The opportunities are only limited by our imagination.

This training is unique because of its use of an intermediate bridge which signals the subject that s/he is on the right track but has not completed the trial yet (like the clue “getting warmer”). This has profound results! We can support the animal in every learning exercise— convert failed trials to successes – and expand correct behavior in the face of challenges. The intermediate bridge is followed by the terminal bridge, signaling successful completion of the behavior.

SATS has brought us:
Heifers trained for estrus detection (to tell scientists if the girls wanted food or a 5 minute date with a bull); Litter trained horses, bears, wolves, otters, cheetahs, and numerous other animals aiding in their own health and vet care – taking injections, teeth inspection etc. Animals that understand concepts and words – allowing us to talk with animals.
