Dog Training Methodology
Day & Train: This program offers immersive training days where dogs are dropped off and trainers work one-on-one with them, providing a full day of tailored activities and skill-building exercises.
Private Training: Tailored for dog owners who want to actively participate, these sessions offer 100% attention with just the owner, their dog, and an expert trainer, free from distractions.
Puppy Management: This training focuses on early success for puppies, particularly during their crucial first 20 weeks, setting a foundation for positive behavior. Trainers are AKC Puppy Star Certified.
Behavior Modification Training: This program helps dogs overcome specific behaviors and emotions. Specialties include addressing aggression, high anxiety/fear, high-distraction issues, off-leash reliability, reactivity (excessive barking, lunging, growling), and socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals.
Testimonials
“Mark and Angel are amazing! We have a very young GSP who has A LOT of energy and happiness that she just doesn’t know what to do with it all. We are also expecting our first baby and knew that we needed to get our puppy to learn some manners before the arrival of the little one. They are so knowledgeable and really helped us learn and develop the tools necessary to help train our GSP so that we can be more active with her in outdoor and public settings without worrying that we wont be able to recall her. Another big thing was her pulling when on a lease and she is one strong girl, so being able to learn how to correct that early on so walks are more enjoyable and longer for her and us. I am so appreciative of this training and so happy we did it. I am looking forward to continuing to develop and perfect our GSPs skills in group classes over the next year. Thank you for everything.”

“When I took in my little girl she was hard to control and I was lost on how best to teacher her basic commands. I knew I needed help. Sit Means Sit taught my girl to listen and confidence. They taught me how to talk and build trust between us. Our group classes keeps my Annabelle confident and interested in continuing to learn new things. I’m so thankful to have found Sit Means Sit.”
