Sit Means Sit Dog Training – New Jersey

Sit Means Sit New Jersey offers a variety of training programs tailored to individual dog needs.

**Immersive Training** involves direct one-on-one sessions with owners in interactive environments that simulate real-world situations. This method teaches practical skills for managing dogs using their tools and addresses behaviors such as aggression, car manners, and anxiety management. The goal is to transform the dog and build a lifelong, trustworthy relationship.

The **Board & Train** program offers 3-12 day customizable plans, starting at $750. In this program, the trainers provide full attention to the dog day and night. Upon the dog’s return, skills are transferred to the owner, along with homework. This program includes access to group training classes (held twice a week) upon completion. It is ideal for faster results, owners who are traveling, or those with busy schedules.

**Day Care Training** is a popular option where dogs are dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon at their facility. Trainers handle the intensive training during the day, and at pick-up, owners meet with a professional trainer to review the day’s learning and receive homework. This program also includes access to group training classes (held twice a week) after completion, allowing owners to be hands-on without overnight separation.

The **Puppy Management** program focuses on establishing a strong foundation of obedience and socialization for puppies within their first 16 weeks. This early intervention helps prevent bad habits and corrects troubling signs of aggression or disobedience. A “BOARDING SCHOOL!” option for Puppy Board and Train, which includes potty training, is also available.

**Private Lessons** are offered exclusively to existing clients who have completed a Day Train or Board & Train program. These lessons provide one-on-one support to owners, helping them work with their dogs and reinforce obedience, socialization, and confidence with the guidance of a professional training team.

**Group Class** is available for existing clients whose dogs have completed one of the individual training programs. These classes are held twice a week at their facility, public parks, and local pet-friendly environments. They are designed to fine-tune obedience training and keep dogs engaged around distractions, offering an opportunity for continued support and socialization.
