Sit Means Sit Dog Training – Toms River

Sit Means Sit Ocean County offers a variety of training programs tailored to specific needs. The Immersive Training program is a day-train method that works directly with the dog and owner in interactive, real-world environments, teaching practical skills for navigating daily life and addressing issues like aggression, anxiety, and car manners.

The Puppy Training program, or Puppy Management, focuses on establishing a strong foundation of obedience and socialization for puppies 8-16 weeks old, helping to prevent bad habits. A Puppy Boarding School option is also available, which includes potty training.

The Day Care Training program functions as a doggy daycare where dogs are trained all day, with owners receiving updates and homework at pick-up. This option is ideal for working pet parents or those who prefer their dog to return home nightly. The Dog Boarding & Training program offers faster results for more serious issues or for owners with busy schedules or travel plans, providing intensive training with the dog staying overnight.

Both Day Care Training and Dog Boarding & Training programs include access to group training classes for additional support once the initial program is complete. Private Obedience Lessons and Group Classes are available for existing clients who have completed a Day Train or Board & Train program, offering one-on-one support and opportunities to practice skills around distractions in various environments.
