About OurPrivate LessonsDog Training

Our Private Training Program is designed for owners who want to be hands-on throughout their dog’s learning process. These personalized sessions focus on more than just improving behavior — they give you the knowledge and confidence to continue reinforcing training long after the lesson ends.

During private lessons, our trainers work directly with you and your dog to address specific goals, challenges, and behaviors. Each session is tailored to your needs, allowing training to focus on the situations and environments where your dog needs the most improvement.

With flexible scheduling and location options, lessons can take place at your home, in public spaces, or anywhere distractions and problem behaviors commonly occur. This customized format creates a practical, real-world training experience for both you and your dog.

Our goal is to help you build a stronger relationship with your dog while teaching you how to maintain reliable obedience and good behavior in everyday life. By the end of the program, you’ll have the tools and guidance needed to continue progressing with your dog independently.

JD did amazing with our Labrador, Moose. Now every evening walk Moose walks off leash, we removed his cage around his bed after a trial period of leaving him at home while we are at work a few days a week, roaming freely and he has done great! He knows the difference between his bed and his “place”, and he is doing really well with knowing the difference. We are very grateful for you and the time you spent with Moose. We have been working with him every days and reinforcing the training you have taught him, and us. He loves to learn and he is such a great dog. Thank you for all of your help. We will be forever grateful! You won’t regret hiring a trainer from Sit Means Sit!

We are so incredibly grateful to Sit Means Sit. We had a dog we got at the shelter in March. After 6 months of being miserable, we were giving her one last chance by getting some professional training. We are now enjoying life with our dog and couldn’t be more pleased. Worth every penny!
