Training & Services

Day Train
The “Day Care Training” program is our version of doggy daycare where you drop your pup off to us in the morning and they will be trained all day! At pick-up, you will meet with one of our trainers to go over what your pup has learned and assigned homework to complete before your next…
Puppy Management
Our Puppy Management program is focused on establishing a strong foundation of obedience and socialization in the first 16 weeks of your pup’s life. When it comes to training, those first 16 weeks are the most crucial, especially if you want to start your furry friend on the track to a successful and well-behaved future….

Behavior Modification Training
In addition to our training programs, we can train your dog or pup to overcome specific behaviors and emotions for a happier, healthier dog.
Aggressive
An aggressive dog can cause difficulties when trying to incorporate them into your daily life, and can create stress and strain for everyone in your household. Often these behaviors stem from factors like inadequate socialization, fear, stress, or negative past experiences. Working collaboratively, you and your trainer can address and resolve some of these behavioral…
High Anxiety/Fear
Whether it’s a fear of strangers, other dogs, or separation from their owner, it can be incredibly challenging to train an anxious dog. Our trainers will work closely with you and your pup to gradually increase their comfort zone through positive experiences, building your dog’s confidence in a safe and productive way. Signs of Anxiety…
High-Distraction
Does your dog bolt the second they see a squirrel, person, or another dog across the street? These distractions are unavoidable in the real world, which is why our trainers focus and specialize in high-distraction training. With consistency, we can help direct your dog’s focus to you in any situation when distractions arise….
Off-Leash
If you aspire to enjoy the freedom of having your dog off-leash while exploring your favorite trails or during camping adventures, off-leash training could be a perfect fit for you and your furry companion. Off-leash training is distinct from obedience, although skills such as recall are the foundation of off-leash training. Our trainers will begin…
Reactive
A reactive dog overreacts to normal situations that other dogs would take in stride. They become overstimulated easily and may bark, lunge, and growl at something as simple as another dog or person walking on the other side of the street. Attention to training is extremely important, as reactivity can turn into aggression. The cause…
Socialization
Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog. The best time to socialize is between 10-16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue dogs enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put…

See More ReviewsHonestly the best decision I made was having my dog trained through Sit Means Sit. The price is totally worth the investment you will receive for years to come! My dog started at 6 months old and after the 6 weeks the results are amazing! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. Sit Means Sit not only helps train your dog but they also help YOU learn how to properly communicate and build an everlasting mutual respect between you and your dog. I will continue to use them for their group classes and will refer anyone I know looking for training to them!
We took our 4 year old lab Buster to Sit means Sit for some manners! He was a great dog but needed some manners when he was out and about! Our goal was to be able to bring Buster out with us to be part of our family! Buster started as a board and train client and we as a family had follow up sessions with the staff to learn all the commands! We can’t be happier with how well Buster has responded to the training and all the lessons! The staff is so knowledgeable and willing to share all their experience they have with dogs with their clients! Super clean facility as well. Highly recommend to anyone with a puppy or even an older dog that needs some guidance! Thank you Sit means sit staff for helping have Buster a more well behaved pup!
