Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
How much does your dog training cost?
There are a number of factors that we evaluate prior to building a training package for you such as your dog’s age, temperament, previous training, as well as the desired goals of the owner. Because of these factors, we offer a free demonstration & consultation as an opportunity to meet with your family as well as your dog to gain insight into the unique circumstances that affect your dog’s training. If you are interested, give us a call at (301) 667‐0066

Do you have group classes?
Yes, we have group classes for those who have completed a SMS training program. These classes help you to continue and follow through on your dog’s training. Also, our Group Classes are a great way to socialize your dog.
Community answer · Sit Means Sit Dog Training Frederick · 2021-09-21
Yes, they do. Once you complete the basics you go to group class so your dog so do speak gets used to different experiences, people, other dogs, and still have a successful life around every day life situations. It is amazing, and it's right on where your dog's needs are worked on (not individually necessarily) along with the others in the class. You can ask questions and review the videos on your individual dog train. It's really good!

How do you train a dog not to be aggressive to other dogs
Yes, my dog was very reactive to people and dogs. He still is to some degree but SMS has helped a GREAT deal and given excellent insight on how do deal in different situations. Keep in mind that this is continuous process; does not get resolved overnight. They worked on other issues as well at the same time. I would highly recommend them.

Can a dog be trained not to be aggressive to other dogs
Highly recommend SMS! We had tremendous success in a short period of time however you and you dog must continually work on what is taught.

Had such a great experience with Marty!! My corgi, Maple, used to be reactive and I was struggling to figure out how to help her. Sit Means sit led us to the best trainer who gave me practical tools and guidance to help build her confidence and behavior. Would definitely recommend Marty and sit means sit to anyone looking to for a great dog training program and trainer!
Alex, who was Oliver's trainer, is incredible. He handled Oliver beautifully. He was patient with us. He clearly loves what he is doing and is an immense credit to your organization.

Exceptional Dog Trainer — Marty Is Truly a “Dog Whisperer” We cannot say enough great things about Marty! He trained our 7-year-old Goldendoodle, Finnegan, and the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Finnegan is now, without question, the best-trained dog we have ever had. Marty is the best dog trainer we have ever experienced. His technique, composure, patience, professionalism, and attitude are exceptional. What impressed us most was his natural ability to connect with Finnegan. He has an incredible gift for understanding dogs and communicating with them in a way that is difficult to describe—you truly get the feeling that he is a “dog whisperer.” Marty seemed to understand Finnegan’s personality and his own unique “inner vocabulary,” and he knew exactly how to bring out the best in him. His calm confidence and ability to connect with both the dog and the owners made the entire experience outstanding. We only wish we had found Marty sooner! If you are looking for a trainer who has the knowledge, experience, patience, and natural gift to truly transform your dog, we could not recommend Marty more highly. Finnegan is living proof of how exceptional his training is! Thank you, Marty, for making such an incredible difference in Finnegan—and in our lives!

Absolutely worth every penny. Our dog Tango wasn't able to start puppy classes when we first adopted him for health reasons, and while we'd gotten him house trained, getting him to do literally anything else was nearly impossible. We were near the end of our wits keeping him from destroying things. We knew he needed structure and training, but didn't know how to go about it. We signed Tango up for the five week course with Alex and it was amazing how much it helped! Tango actually listens to us now, but he's still the same silly dog we fell in love with. Just now we have mechanisms for keeping him occupied and (mostly) out of mischief. We can take him on walks and out and about with us now, and it's amazing. Absolutely recommend if you're having trouble with a hyperactive terrier mix who is too smart for his own good. Or any dog, really.
