Dog Training Methodology

Sit Means Sit offers several dog training programs designed for all dogs regardless of breed, size, age, or personality. The Board & Train program is for busy owners or those traveling, where the team jump-starts obedience, followed by private lessons and group class follow-up to maintain behaviors.

The Day Train program allows owners to drop off their dog in the morning and pick them up in the evening, including a 1-hour lesson with a professional trainer at the end of the day, typically once a week for three weeks before moving to a maintenance phase.

Private Training is ideal for owners who want to be hands-on, customize their training, and build a deep bond with their pups, suitable for new puppies or brushing up on manners. Flexible scheduling is offered, and family involvement is encouraged.

Additionally, the PAWS to Educate Program provides training for professionals in the pet industry, such as Veterinarians, Vet Techs, Groomers, and Doggy Day Care staff, covering dog training, behavior problems, dog psychology, and bite prevention.

Testimonials

“Sit Means Sit has been a LIFE SAVER and I highly recommend their training no matter your dog or your goal. We adopted our dog when he was three, he was completely un-socialized and fear aggressive of people, dogs and especially small spaces, like the halls and elevators at home. He had never been on…”
– Stephanie H.

“Having recently just completed only 4 one hour sessions at Sit Means Sit with our 5-month-old puppy, I just want to thank both of our trainers for their excellent help! Oso was a stubborn, willful, playful puppy. Now he’s still playful and loving, but also obedient and very willing to do what we ask of…”
– Sandy W.

“Sheer relief. That was what I felt the day we took our male American Bulldog, Hooch, home from his 14 day Board & Train with Sit Means Sit. He was a happy, easy-going, friendly dog until he entered full adulthood and then he was as his breed suggests, a bully! We worked with leash training…”
– Zenobia R.
