Training & Services

During the day, we’ll handle the heavy lifting and send you & Fido home with…
Board and Train
Our Board & Train Program offers extra support for families training their furry friends. During this program, your dog will live and train in our facility. Throughout their stay, your dog will train daily with our expert trainers, to quickly learn commands taught in our Basic Obedience Program. Once the program is complete, your pup…
Private Lessons
Our private lessons are the perfect fit for families with pets who need a focused approach to training. They follow a similar curriculum as our Basic Obedience Program but are held one-on-one. Lessons will be held with a trainer at your home to provide your dog with as much comfort and the least amount of…

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 ReviewsSit Means Sit has changed our lives! We adopted our Aleena from the Humane Society without really knowing her. Come to find out she was dog and people reactive and we couldn’t take her everywhere with us like we wanted to. We had a couple of incident until we decided to make the change. Best investment we have ever made. Our Aleena is being trained to be a service dog, she goes everywhere she can possibly go with us and we no longer have to worry about her being aggressive with other people. Not to mention, Sit Means Sit is always one call away. I have had to call for help twice with a few regressions we had and within a day they were in our house working with our dog to help us. I recommend them to everyone with my eyes closed. If you are willing to put in the work with your dog, they are simply the best tool.
I can’t say enough about the Sit Means Sit training program! My Golden was a Covid puppy and was absolutely wild and unsocialized when I started with Sit Means Sit in 2021. She now has her canine good citizen ship twice and two therapy certifications through Sit Means Sit . Just continue to enjoy the group classes which we attend at least twice a week. Mallory‘s class today was exceptional. She is extremely knowledgeable and fun, keeps things moving, and even knows every dogs name! 🤩
