Hello, do you train service dogs?
Yes, we train service dogs. Our specific areas of focus are helping with mobility issues and emotional support dogs.

Your dog may not be eligible based on breed or age, but we can help point you in the right direction.

We recently took our almost one-year-old Labrador, Cash, to Sit Now Stay, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From day one, our trainer Bri was incredible. She was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does. Cash can be a handful—he’s full of energy and excitement—but Bri knew exactly how to work with him in a way that was both firm and positive. She took the time to understand his personality and tailored the training to meet his needs (and ours!). The facility at Sit Now Stay is clean, organized, and very dog-friendly. The entire team made us feel welcome, and we always felt that Cash was in great hands. After just two weeks, we noticed huge improvements—he walks more calmly on leash, responds to commands much more consistently, and overall seems more focused and balanced. Bri also gave us practical tips and tools to continue working with Cash at home, which has been a game-changer. We’re so grateful for Bri and the entire team at Sit Now Stay. They’ve helped bring out the best in Cash, and we feel so much more confident as dog owners. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, effective, and compassionate dog training!

We have two Bernese mountain dogs that completed the 10 day training camps and we have loved every minute of it. The staff does such an amazing job of getting to know our fur babies and their distinct personalities to help guide us with their training. Such an improvement in a short amount of time! We look forward to continuing with the group sessions so we can better handle our puppies’ needs- after all it is up to us to keep engaging in a positive manner! Would highly recommend Bri and her staff- they are incredible!
Our dog Birdy is a nervous girl who has been going to training and boarding. They are wonderful to work with and always answer back fast. We love getting updates as well as the choice of the dog learning and getting use to the pool.
We’re only on Day 2, but everything I’ve seen has shown so much care and attention to detail.
