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.

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.
Community answer · Sherry Mathur · 2019-09-21

We continue to use SMS for training day camps and still love the care given to Roscoe. It means alot when the staff cheer when your dog arrives for day camp...you know he'll be well cared for while he is at the facility. We continue to highly recommend SMS. We appreciate everyone at Sit Means Sit and the professionalism and expertise we see each time we come there. It was the best decision we could have made when we selected Sit Means Sit to help us and and our dog Roscoe learn to understand each other. The guidance and support is continuous and appreciated.

Blossom has done very well with her day training. Alex has been wonderful with her and it shows that he truly cares for her and is committed to her training I highly recommend Sit Means Sit. Alex is a great trainer very kind and caring. He gave helpful tips along the way. The price reasonable if you plan to do the work with your dog and what they’re learning. Practice and repetition so that your dog retains what they learn. And the follow up group is very good to continue what a perk that’s included. Say yes to sit means sit if you are struggling with your dog
Great experience! So glad we decided to do this! it was very obvious that Maui connected with Cole and she was very excited to be there. We're planning to take advantage of the classes also. Looking forward to that.
