Program details
In our private training programs you will work side by side with our trainers on a weekly basis to teach and constantly improve the obedience and dog-to-handler relationship. After we take the time to guide and teach individual commands we will go on to build more positive habits and condition specific responses from your dog. Private training requires the handler to work diligently on training in-between sessions. This option will also include group training classes.

Program details
Don’t want to leave your pup with us overnight but still want the benefits of professional training? Our Day Train program might be a perfect fit! Day Train consists of 3 weekly training sessions. Your dog gets dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening after their training session. After each session you will meet with a trainer and go over what was covered that day. Our trainer will assign homework and tell you what needs to be practiced before their next session. Once your pup has completed Day Train, they can participate in our Group Classes!

The strategies and support we received at Sit Means Sit have been so helpful! We chose the day care program package with 5 day care sessions. In those 5 weeks, I’ve seen awesome change in Barkley, and I feel more confident in my ability to handle him. When he first started, Barkley (around 1 years old) had recently started to become reactive toward dogs and people and anything he was scared of. Now, he ignores most dogs and people and we can go on walks around others with no difficulty. Kaitlin, one of the trainers, was so sweet to work with and did such a great job with Barkley. Ava, another trainer we worked with, was so knowledgeable and had amazing tips for me that really helped us make immediate progress at home. We are excited to continue to make progress with group classes each week. I love that if anything comes up in the next year, we can trouble shoot with trainers! I’d highly recommend Sit Means Sit
Sit Means Sit is great, I would definitely recommend taking your dog here for basic training. I save great progress on day 1, My Australian Shepherd has learn a lot being there for 5 days and her listening got better. Definitely recommend it.
Teenagers unqualified. No free area for dogs to relieve themselves being kept there all day. Any issues are anything but their fault. Go somewhere that has a proper facility to allow your dog to move freely if expected to be there for an entire day. Go somewhere with professionals.

My 2.5 year old Pyr was not socialized much as a puppy So she was extremely reactive when she saw other dogs which made walks very stressful. She made so much progress in the 5 weeks of the program and I can't wait to continue with the free group lessons that are included with the program. Our primary trainer Ava was excellent to work with, as were the other trainers as well. They have a great system for success! Highly recommend. (Ps. She's not overweight, just extremely fluffy!)
