What people have asked about this business.

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.

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
Do you only train with the Sit Means Sit collar?

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.

I had a great experience with the trainers here. They were patient with my dog and provided excellent guidance throughout our training. Our trainer went above and beyond for us.

Alyssa was amazing with our Danes. We always thought they were independent thinkers. Not true. Alyssa taught us how to train them and get them to do amazing things like walk down the street with us without a leash and not having to worry about them running away. I would highly recommend Alyssa.

I am a huge fan of Alyssa Smith and Sit Means Sit. Piper is a fantastic dog except when it comes to walking her. My husband and I would avoid it at all costs. Neighbors would watch us as she pulled us down the street and howled (with delight) as she did it. In desperation, we asked Alyssa to work with her (and us). In no time, Alyssa had Piper walking by her side. Our training took a bit longer and it is still a work in progress, but we have come to enjoy walks now with our beautiful girl. Alyssa, I cannot thank you enough for all your help. I am sending you our other beautiful girl for a major tune up :-)
