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.

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.

We’ve only been working with our dog trainer Marty for 3 weeks, but the difference already has been amazing. Marti is patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about both the dogs and their owners. We’ve learned so much about communication, structure, and building confidence, and our dog is already showing positive changes in behavior. Every session feels encouraging and personalized to what we need. We’re so grateful for the guidance and support and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely wants to help both you and your dog succeed.

Cole was an excellent trainer to work with! He probably answered my questions more throughly than needed! Cole really knows his stuff and thank goodness his training carried over to home very well!
Kalee warmed up to him very quickly and enjoyed being with him! We noticed an immediate change in Kalee’s behavior at home and my frustration with puppy training went way down once I finally learned better ways to "communicate" with her. He even walked over and helped us for a minute this morning at our group class! Kalee recognized him right away! Picture available after graduating her 5 session training!
One last thing, I always love seeing all the staff love on my dog! You can tell they love what they do there! :)
Our grooming experience has been spectacular as well! Kalee has looked wonderful and smelled so good every time we pick her up! I have not once been disappointed when picking up our pup! A pic of her fresh from the groomer is available! The groomer is so, so great!!!
Group class has gone really well! It was interesting to train with the trainers training other dogs! Our leader was informative and it was nice to see my dog is still doing well with her training since we've missed a month! Picture available of her staying in place.
Lastly, Kalee has attended two Puppy Day Camp sessions! These have been great as well! It has helped her socialize with other dogs of all sizes AND she gets some training with the trainers!
Seriously, this place is worth it!! You will not regret your decision to have your dog trained here!

Alex was awesome. Our 11 month old puppy loved him. He completely understood what we wanted to get from this training program. He even gave us tips for things not apart of the program. Would definitely recommend to anyone for any dog.

Em at Sit Means Sit did an incredible job with our dog Daphine. She came in needing some serious work on her manners and the transformation has been amazing, heeling on walks without pulling, solid recall, and so much more.
What really stood out is that Daphine came out more disciplined but still completely herself. Same personality, same energy, same goofiness we love, just with manners now. That balance is hard to pull off and it says everything about how Em works with dogs as individuals.
Highly recommend Em and the Sit Means Sit team!
