Sit Means Sit offers professional and comprehensive dog training programs designed for happy, confident, and obedient dogs with maximum control on and off-leash, even with distractions. They offer a free consultation.
Their Day Training program is a once-a-week, all-day program where a professional trainer trains the dog at their center. Owners drop off and pick up their dog the same day, receive progress pictures, and get instructions for at-home practice. This program includes private lessons and 6 months of group classes.
The Hybrid Stay and Train program is for busy owners, where dogs stay at the facility Monday to Friday for focused training. Owners pick up their dog on Friday for a private lesson to reinforce progress over the weekend. This weekly program includes six months of group classes after the stay-and-train portion.
The Board & Train program immerses dogs in obedience training for multiple days at the training center and in real-life situations like public parks and pet stores. After completion, owners can participate in private lessons and group classes.
The Noble K9 Therapy Dog Program trains dogs to become therapy dogs, requiring extensive training including obtaining the AKC Canine Good Citizen Award. The N.O.B.L.E. Puppy Program offers 4-week, one-on-one private puppy lessons for puppies 8-24 weeks old, targeting issues like potty training, crate training, leash training, chewing, and biting.
Group Classes reinforce skills learned in Private Lessons or Board & Train, helping dogs train around distractions. Specialty Classes, open to current clients and the public, include Trick Class, Introduction to Nose Work, and Teaching Fetch & Intro to Drive Building. Private Lessons offer one-on-one customized training plans with a personal trainer, focusing on the dog’s unique needs and teaching owners to continue training at home.
