Testimonials
“Our dogs Kelce and Dixie love their training and Muscle Mutts. I would highly recommend.”
– Bridgette Mavec
“Sit Now Stay has been a lifesaver! Our dog benji has struggled for boarding and play at other places due to inexperienced staff and overwhelming rooms packed with dogs; The knowledgable trainers and calm demeaner at Sit Now Stay completely diffuses our concerns and gives us peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. We absolutely love trainer Kat and are continually impressed at how much better benji is after spending time with her and the other trainers.”
– John B
“My boyfriend and I have struggled with our dog Vida’s reactivity for a couple years now. We have been blown away by the progress made since working with the trainers at Sit Now Stay. I love the way the group works as a team to figure out what would work best for each individual dog. We talked through a couple of different training routes based on their recommendations and ended up starting private lessons. Working with Sara has been nothing short of amazing. Not only do I see improvement in my dog, but also in myself as a handler, and Sara has equipped me with the skills to be more confident and in control of Vida. She is great at explaining what to do but also why we’re doing it which helps us a lot. My relationship with my dog has improved so much, and I always look forward to our next lesson with Sara and practicing at home. We have also had Vida do a day of Muscle Mutts with them and plan to do more in the future. Every trainer we’ve spoken with has been wonderful and are all clearly very qualified and exceptional at what they do. I would highly recommend for anyone struggling with a reactive dog to give Sit Now Stay a call. We are so happy we did!”
