Training & Services
Day Camp
Like the idea of having a professional initially train your dog and you do some of the training yourself so you become a more experienced pet parent? That is what the Day Camp training is about! This is our most popular option and the one where we find the most consistent long-term success. …
Private Lessons
Private Lesson programs are designed for the family that wants to be directly involved and personally responsible for the success of their dog’s training. In this option, you meet with a trainer for hour-long one-on-one sessions. …
Puppy Management
For the new puppy owner, our puppy obedience lesson is a private session where we educate and train you on the best way to house break, crate train, and start building obedience with your new best friend. Puppy Kindergarten is a fun program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off on the right paw. …
Group Class
After your advanced obedience program is complete, enjoy ongoing training, help, and challenges with Group Classes! They offer our clients the opportunity for structured socialization and the ability to practice and reinforce obedience. We offer three types of group classes – transitional (beginner), advanced, and specialty….
Canine Good Citizen (CGC)

Behavior Modification Training
In addition to our training programs, we can train your dog or pup to overcome specific behaviors and emotions for a happier, healthier dog.
Aggressive
Our aggressive dog training programs work on aggressive behavior by using obedience and desensitization techniques. We tailor the program to you and your dog and discover the triggers and situations that cause the behavior. After that, we incorporate commands and rewards to transform your dog’s behavior….
High Anxiety/Fear
Vocalization and destruction are common traits of a dog with separation anxiety. In our dog separation anxiety training programs, we help you understand what may be causing it and address it with patience….
High-Distraction
Does your dog bolt the second they see a squirrel, person, or another dog across the street? These distractions are unavoidable in the real world, which is why our trainers focus and specialize in high-distraction training. With consistency, we can help direct your dog’s focus to you in any situation when distractions arise….
Off-Leash
If you aspire to enjoy the freedom of having your dog off-leash while exploring your favorite trails or during camping adventures, off-leash training could be a perfect fit for you and your furry companion. Off-leash training is distinct from obedience, although skills such as recall are the foundation of off-leash training. Our trainers will begin…
Reactive
Reactivity is usually caused by fear, frustration, or lack of socialization. In reactive dog training programs, we work on all three by helping your dog build confidence, gain obedience that counters frustration, and have them work around dogs of different shapes and sizes….
Socialization
Did you adopt a COVID pup? Have you moved from a low-traffic to a high-traffic area? Structured socialization is the solution for you. In a structured way, we expose your dog to other dogs. With dog socialization training, session by session, your dog will develop confidence and be much better behaved around one to many dogs….

See More ReviewsWe have been so happy with the progress our pup has made! Sit Means Sit trainers have gone the extra mile to keep in touch and make sure we are staying consistent with training. I highly recommend for anyone looking to have a stronger connection with their dog!
For awhile I’d said my dog Buck had good heart but bad manners. After a year of working with him myself and getting virtually nowhere, I decided to come here. Christian and the rest of the staff heard my goals and helped me hit them. In less than a month, Buck has become a new dog. While he’s not perfect (but who is?), I feel so much better equipped to deal with the occasional slip up. Also, training has changed from a chore to the highlight of my morning. I could not recommend these folks more highly.
