Sit Means Sit Dog Training Salt Lake City

Sit Means Sit Dog Training Salt Lake City offers various training programs tailored to different needs. Private Lessons provide one-on-one training that can take place in the client’s home, local park, trail, or shopping center, allowing families to be involved in the process and learn techniques firsthand.

The Day Train Program is designed for busy pet parents, where dogs are dropped off at the facility in the morning for one-on-one direction, physical, and mental exercise, returning home each night. This program includes a Transfer of Leadership Lesson and follow-up lessons, with an invitation to group classes when ready.

The Board & Train Program offers a 10-20 day full immersion experience where dogs receive 40 hours a week of training from a personal full-time trainer, learning obedience, confidence, and socialization. This program simulates real-life experiences in various Salt Lake City locations to practice avoiding distractions and includes private in-home lessons upon completion.

Group Classes are available after completing an individual training program, focusing on improving social skills and handling severe distractions in an organized learning environment. These classes help keep training skills sharp and improve off-leash control.

They also offer a Therapy Dog Program with testing and certification under their K-9 Caring Angels team, enabling handlers and dogs to give back to the community. Puppy Socialization and Development sessions are specifically for puppies up to 20 weeks old, addressing issues like crate training, potty training, leash introduction, and chewing/biting to prevent future behavior problems and set a strong foundation.

Sit Means Sit Dog Training Salt Lake City provides professional puppy and dog obedience training in Salt Lake City, Sandy, and the surrounding Utah areas. They aim to help dog owners forge a deep relationship with their dogs by moving beyond bad behavior and achieving maximum control, both on and off leash.

Their facility is located in West Jordan, UT, and they also offer the option to come to the client’s location. They are experts at helping dogs of any breed, age, size, or behavioral history.

They offer a free in-home consultation where a professional dog trainer will discuss training goals and evaluate the dog’s current behavior. The trainer will bring a trained dog to demonstrate the level of obedience achievable through their programs.
