Sit Happens Dog Training & Behavior, LLC

The Sit Happens staff and Tina have changed our lives! When we brought our 6 month old puppy home he was terrified of everything! We couldn't even go on walks because just getting past our driveway was too scary. We noticed a big difference in his behavior after the first 2 classes! We were so happy with the results that we have since done pretty much every class Tina offers and Henderson is now officially a canine good citizen! If you just want your dog to learn to sit and stay you can go to any dog training class, however, if you want to learn how to teach and communicate with your dog you need to see Tina! The personal help and attention she gave us was really a giant help. She even answered a frantic call at 10pm when our dog attempted to eat a frog and started foaming at the mouth! As a result of Tina's class I know have a 2 year old dog who comes when called, walks politely on a leash, waits at the door and waits for his food. Most importantly though, I have a dog that I can communicate with and understand (most of the time, but when I'm not sure I STILL call Tina!). Some say Tina is a little quirky (hello, she's a dog wizard), but she's from up north bless her heart ;) In case you can't tell from my rant, we couldn't recommend Sit Happens more!

We've had 3 of our dogs go through several of Tina's (the owner of Sit Happens) classes, as well as had some private instruction. A better trainer doesn't exist- neither for a dog or their humans! She understands dog behavior, cues, and what to do about all of it better than anyone I've ever even heard of, and she's incredibly gifted- genius even- as she takes the time you need to make sure you understand and know how to apply the information in ways that make sense for you. You're guaranteed to learn something new even if you've been around dogs all your life! Her knowledge is mind-boggling- as well as her creativity! She has a very positive, fun approach not only in her incredible sense of humor, personable nature, and down-to-earth attitude, but in how she very patiently and warmly deals with each person's unique situation and in how she does her overall training.

Tina is gifted as a trainer and I have been through her puppy classes but I appreciate most her insight in dealing with other people’s animals. My job requires me working in people’s homes and I am often confronted by dogs of all breeds that do not understand my presence. Tina has trained me to recognize distress signals and how to make myself less of a threat in their environment. So, I guess she trained me. Anyway, she is brilliant and fun to work with and I haven’t had a bite in over three years. Yeah, it was a problem. Thanks Tina!
