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.

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.

I brought my dog Patty here for the 5-day program and worked with Marty, who is awesome. Marty is a patient and empathetic trainer -- not only did Patty like him, but he didn't mind repeating information for me when I needed it, or revisiting topics with me. Patty is so much more well-behaved on our walks. I also appreciate one whole year of included group classes. Thanks to the team at Sit Means Sit!

The trainers have been great. Our dog's behavior has greatly improved. We work with him daily to reinforce what both of us learned. It is well worth the investment and the time.

We came to Sit Means Sit because Zeus was fearful and skiddish. He is such a wonderful dog who deserves to live a life without fear. Cole is an amazing trainer who helped Zeus so much! The commands he learned were a small part of Zeus building confidence and trust. Cole's advice to me and training for Zeus was instrumental in the progress that Zeus has made. After graduating from 1 on 1 classes, Zeus was able to participate in his first group training where he was more confident than he has ever been around strangers (both people and dogs). The growth I have seen in Zeus over 5 weeks makes me even more excited to see how much Zeus will grow from attending group classes. For me, the commands are one thing, but the ability for Zeus to be more confident is everything! I highly recommend Cole-- I can't say enough good things about how he has helped Zeus!

Cole was a fantastic trainer and helped us so much with our new puppy, Panda. The sessions were informational, well paced, and covered all questions/needs we had! We will eventually be pursuing more training with Sit Means Sit and have had two other dogs that were trained through them. They continue to be a reliable training service and well worth the price. :)

We've been working with Cole for a few weeks now and we've seen a significant change on the behavior and recall for our two working line German Shepherds. They're appropriately exercised both mentally and physically and have nearly completely stopped pulling halfway through the shortest program.
