Sit Means Sit Pueblo is a professional dog training business serving Pueblo, Cañon City, Salida, and surrounding areas in Southern Colorado. They offer a range of training programs including Board & Train, Day Train, Private Lessons, and Group Class add-ons, all designed to build obedience, socialization, and reliable off-leash behavior. Their unique approach centers on an attention-based training system developed by founder Fred Hassen, which includes the use of a customized remote electronic collar (e-collar) as a neutral cue—similar to a tap on the shoulder—to gain focus without pain or distress. They emphasize safe, balanced training that combines positive reinforcement with controlled cues to achieve long-term results. In addition to training, they provide pet boarding, dog daycare, and professional grooming services. Their facility is described as clean, organized, and staffed by caring professionals who offer personalized attention and ongoing support, including unlimited lifetime group classes after program completion.

They provide a free consultation and evaluation to tailor training plans to each dog’s age, temperament, and owner goals. Training begins at 14 weeks for puppies due to vaccination requirements. Their clients report dramatic improvements in behavior, reduced stress, and stronger bonds with their dogs, with many praising the staff’s professionalism, empathy, and commitment to dog welfare.

The business is part of a national franchise with 157 locations, ensuring standardized methods and quality control. They also sell dog training equipment and supplies through their online store.
