I Got This SIT, LLC.

I Got This SIT, LLC. offers several training programs. “Live In & Learn” is an overnight board and train program with 14-day or 21-day packages, including private consultations for new clients. “Behavioral Boarding” is an overnight boarding program designed for dogs with behavioral sensitivities, ensuring they are kept safe, calm, and enriched by certified trainers, and includes a half-hour meet and greet for new clients.

“Reactive Rover Classes” are for dogs with overreactions to environmental triggers like other dogs, people, or cars. “Reactive Rover Meet-Ups” are available for dogs who have completed reactive rover training and need more practice, pairing dogs for guided practice.

Private training is available virtually, by phone, and in-person for clients completing their drop-off programs. They also offer “Rescue Uses,” allowing rescues to use their center for potential resident dogs to meet potential foster dogs, with trainer input if needed. They explicitly state that none of their programs are designed to assist companions with separation anxiety, recommending private, in-home training with a CSAT certified trainer for this issue.

Pricing Summary

All prices and program structures can be found under the “services tab” on their website. They offer packages and additional discounts for returning clients who have completed any drop-off program. Rescues receive discounts and other deals on all drop-off programs.
