About the Trainer

Sit Happens Dog Training & Behavior, LLC offers a wide variety of dog and human friendly training services, explicitly stating they do not use shock collars. Their programs aim to improve the relationship between dogs and their owners, helping with communication and fostering well-mannered pets.

They provide training to prepare dogs for life with babies, improve interactions between kids and dogs, address aggression and fear issues, and even prepare dogs for sports like Agility or Herding. They offer group classes, private instruction, online courses, and board & train options.

A unique offering is “Scent Happens,” a program for tracking or detection that focuses on real, in-field games rather than AKC nosework. They also offer the “My Dog Has Class program for Canine Life and Social Skills” from the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT.com), designed to enhance connection and community partnership. For those outside North Georgia, they provide support through online programs like “90 Days to the Perfect Puppy,” an online puppy raising program that can supplement or replace in-person classes. They also host “Your Family Dog Podcast” for families with kids and dogs.
