No question,, Just wondering why your still in business due to how you mistreat animals. All you people that work at this place should be jailed.
I been using them for a month, I think they are great. Why do you think they mistreat the dogs is my concern?
Community answer · Sarah Webb · 2020-09-21
I've been using sit and stay since I got my first service dog through them for my son with cerebral palsy to walk with. Also another dog and then finally training the aggressiveness out of our Rottweiler. Every one I've sent loves the place. Why do you think or know they abused animals
Community answer · Jeff Sterns · 2020-09-21
Does anyone know how much it is to attend a group class?
you can call them and they can set a time up for you

What’s the explanation of the video going around of the dogs being abused and neglected under the care of the employees here?
Good morning, The video you are seeing was staged over 2 years ago by PETA. We were just as appalled as everyone when we first saw it. We hired a private investigator to investigate our company and invited animal services out. Nothing was found. The PETA informant who staged the video is currently being sued by Petsmart for staging cruelty for hamsters, gerbils, and parakeets. The video does not represent our company or what we do. Thank you for your concern, Inghram's Sit N Stay Dog Academy

My dog Maximus, spent 8 weeks there as a pup and goes back regularly for stays. No problems. I was told about the video when we went for the interview. Was told it was a person with an axe to grind. My neighbor also had their dogs trained and boarded there as well.

You abuse dogs?
Inhghrams is the best dog trading school in Tampa. We have had tremendous treatment from all the staff.
Community answer · Joe Boisvert · 2018-09-21
I have 2 miniature dachshunds who have NOT been abused during Daycare nor boarding. I have not witnessed any type of abuse in my 2.5 years of being a client of Sit N Stay.

I cannot say enough good things about Inghram’s SitnStay! The BEST decision we ever made for our deaf dog’s training. I was recommended here to train my deaf dog, Beethoven, who was having aggression and major resource guarding issues. I was initially skeptical after reading some negative reviews. But I spoke to their Master trainer, Clark, and I felt his passion and knowledge come through. I decided to trust the recommendations I had been given and boy am I glad I did! Inghram’s SitnStay will not just overload your dog with treats to where they only listen when you have a treat. They will teach your dog to have innate manners; not use bribery for good behavior. They work through dog socialization and psychology to ensure what your dog is learning is grasped in “his/her” social language. Neither the academy or your dog can do it alone. You have to do your homework and do your part in the training process as well. Clark and his team gave my dog confidence that was stripped of him in his early life by bad humans. They taught him how to walk confidently and learn to trust humans. I didn’t think it was possible but they removed my dogs food aggression!!! It was unbelievable. They teach with a balance of discipline and care. The biggest sign for me on how my dog is treated is his trust, happiness, and love for each person at SitnStay. He comes home happy and loves being there. Forget human reviews. Trust how your dog responds! This place is likely the best decision you can make for your dog. They train the human end and the dog end of the leash. We also had to put in our part and follow their instructions. Today, my husband and I look back and don’t even know where we would be, or where our dog would be for that matter, if it wasn’t for these trainers. We consider this team friends and part of our extended family now. We were also fortunate enough to have them train our dog for service for me. Below are some pictures of practice sessions at TPA. SitnStay is the only trainer in the country allowed in airports to take service dogs to practice through real life scenarios, which is an incredible help for us both. Trust them and ultimately trust your dog; they will show you through their actions that this place is fun!
We originally signed up to train our dog 1-2 days a week but that became unmanageable with our schedule. They willingly switched it over to a board and train with no additional cost. They have been so accommodating and my dog had been so well behaved being back home again. I definitely recommend them.

We got our first puppy at 13 weeks old and wanted to get him trained right away as we are first time dog owners. As we all do, started searching online for trainers and came across sit and stay. After reading some negative reviews I will admit I was hesitant but as I kept reading I see that the good reviews outweighed the bad so I decided to give them a shot. Let me tell you it has been the best decision!! My puppy would not walk on leash no matter what, treats, bribing nothing worked. Walked in to Sit an Stay she put a leash on him said something tapped her leg and BOOM there he was walking on leash in 5 seconds!! These people know their stuff!! My puppy now knows over 7 commands and is so well behaved!! You come back every week for follow up lessons and group lessons to ensure consistency!! If you need your fur baby trained look no further than Ingram sit and stay I highly highly recommend!!!
