Sarah and Emma are both lovely people, in addition to being knowledgable and kind trainers. They break down training in a way that feels easy and intuitive to follow. We have taken many classes from them, and would recommend them to anyone who wants to improve the way they train and interact with their dog!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
do you, or any other place in Missoula or the Bitterroot, have a dog agility course
I did the majority of my agility training with my dog at sit happens.

They have classes for dog agility. The advanced class is drop in style where a course is setup and you can follow the teachers course or make up your own. I also know of A Rover Runs Through It Agility Club

How much is it for a certificate to show that your dogs aren't aggressive?
I just took mine in for a play session. Call to set it up.

I've been taking my puppy to Sit Happens since he was 9 weeks old for Puppy Kindergarten and Puppy Playschool (daycare). The trainers are highly experienced, certified, and are wonderful teachers. Puppy Kindergarten is such an incredible resource - puppies who are not fully vaccinated are able to socialize and train in a safe environment with a variety of different puppies, people, sights, and smells. Puppies play for the first 30 minutes, then you train with your puppy for the next 30 minutes. They provide you with a great foundation for training your new puppy the basic skills they need to learn. I've been sending my pup to daycare 2x/week and it is THE BEST money I've spent on him so far. After playing and training all day, he comes home happy and ready for a long nap. I have time and space to actually get work done while he's gone. At pickup, Emma gives a thorough breakdown of the day and what they worked on. We noticed huge improvements in his ability to settle in his crate, a reduction in demand barking, and much more patience/frustration tolerance. Emma did a lot of firework desensitization leading up to July 4th, and it paid off immensely (he slept through the fireworks with no problem). If you have a new puppy or are getting one in the near future, do yourself (and your puppy) a favor and go to Sit Happens.
Best dog trainer in town. Many classes for all levels of training. Puppy class, intermediate class for household manners, agility and nose work.
The best dog training place ever. Been to a few over the years and the trainers at Sit Happens are the best. Daisy and I loved going to class.
Excellent, thoughtful and meaningful dog training. My dogs always are safe there.
