Dog Training Methodology

Board and Train Memberships are popular programs where dogs stay overnight with the trainers, allowing for intensive understanding instillation. The focus is on transferring leadership skills back to the owner for continued training at home.

The Day and Train Program is a hybrid option where dogs learn foundational attention skills during the day at the facility and return home to sleep with their owners at night. Trainers handle the intensive work during the day, while owners are taught to establish structure and boundaries at home.

Group Classes are offered multiple times per week, both indoors at their air-conditioned facility and at local parks. These classes help dogs and owners build a better relationship around distractions and are included in every Sit Means Sit Membership once the foundation of their system is achieved.

Private Lesson Memberships provide one-on-one instruction for owners on how to use the Sit Means Sit System to build attention in their dogs. These lessons are customized to the specific needs of the dog and owner.

Puppy Training Class is held every Saturday at their facility, designed for puppies aged 10-20 weeks. It focuses on socialization, basic commands, potty training, lure training, marker training, and overall confidence building.
