How much does your obedience training cost?
Our dog training programs are customized to each individual situation. We consider various factors such as your dog's age, temperament, and previous training, as well as your specific goals. To provide an accurate cost estimate, we offer a free consultation and demonstration. During this meeting, we'll assess your dog's needs and develop a tailored training plan. This allows us to give you a precise idea of the cost to achieve your goals, with no obligation attached to the initial consultation.

Does the trained dog always have to wear the Sit Means Sit dog collar?
Reinforcement is an ongoing part of dog training, similar to how traffic laws require continuous enforcement. The need for reinforcement varies among dogs, but proper training can lead to increased reliability even without training aids. Our training process involves three phases: teaching/control, reinforcement, and maintenance. The goal is to gradually reduce dependence on the collar while maintaining consistent behavior. Even after training, occasional reinforcement may be necessary, much like how drivers still need reminders of traffic rules. Our commitment is to help you achieve your training goals and maintain your dog's good behavior long-term.

We utilize a diverse approach to dog training at Sit Means Sit. Our attention-based system, developed by our founder and CEO Fred Hassen, incorporates various training tools. While we often use our customized Sit Means Sit collar, it's just one of the tools in our arsenal. This electronic collar uses safe, adjustable stimulation similar to medical devices like TENS units. It functions as a remote-controlled cue, comparable to tapping someone's shoulder for attention. Our training process teaches dogs to associate this cue with positive outcomes, allowing for effective communication even in distracting environments.

We signed up our 10mo old miniature schnauzer, Buddy, to do the 10 day training. We noticed a difference in, of course, his obedience but also his overall demeanor! Even our family members noticed that he was a more even-keeled puppy. Since his initial training, I have taken Buddy back to the group trainings to keep him fresh and continue to sharpen his skills. Alyssa did a great job with Buddy and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her service to anyone with a dog!

We are so happy to have found Alyssa and Sit Means Sit! We were in desperate need of training for our Blue Heeler pup and are so thankful for it. Maggie is happier and so are we. We highly recommend Alyssa!

I had a very complicated scenario where I was trying to rescue a dog from the shelter and train it, since the dog had some "behavioral" issues. Every trainer in the area rejected me in some capacity, not Alyssa!
She listened to my wild story and figured out a game plan to rescue the dog! Went above and beyond what was expected.
Honestly, Alyssa is a good person with a good heart that has you and your animal's best interest in mind.

Copley started at SMS at six months old and she was by far the tiniest thing in puppy school. She loved every minute of it and couldn’t wait to get back to class! At a little over a year, we did some private lessons which were so worth it. Now, she’s getting close to two and is a well adjusted, fearless, and (mostly) obedient little girl. She still gets beyond excited when she’s with Alyssa and Sam. I highly recommend Alyssa.

Alyssa is THE BEST! We met Alyssa when our puppy Golden doodle went to Sit Means Sit in Morrisville for training. He spent a couple weeks there, both Bo and my family learned SO much:) We had several goals and she helped us meet them all! A few of those goals included potty training, control, door manners, walking, socialization... She gave us tools, commands and continued training to ensure our success. Since then Alyssa has boarded Bo several times, he LOVES any opportunity to spend with her. Proof is in the pics attached, he literally smiles when he's with her:) VERY HIGHLY recommend!!!
