Dog Training Classes

Any Dog Any Age Any Problem

Board and Train

Board and Train is one of our most popular programs and is perfect for busy pet owners or families planning a vacation. For 10, 15, or 20 days, your dog will have full days of training and stay overnight at our facility under the excellent care of the training team.

Since this is an immersive training experience, our trainers will have the opportunity to understand your dog and their training needs. We do the heavy lifting of building a strong foundation in obedience, teaching new advanced skills, or working on challenging behaviors.

At pick-up you will have a private session with your trainer, going over their new behaviors so you can reinforce their new habits at home. Transferring the leadership from us back to the owner is the most important part of the success of the Board and Train program. Continue your dog’s training accomplishments at home and beyond as their happiness and confidence grow!

Interested in improving your dog’s behavior in Board and Train? Schedule your free consultation and contact us today!

Day and Train

If you cannot stand to be away from your dog at night, we recommend our Day and Train program! Choose the 3-day or the 6-day training package and drop off in the morning at our lovely training facility to spend the full day training with one of our professional dog trainers.

At pick-up, owners have a private session with their trainer to discuss what their dog learned that day. This is a great option to begin basic manners and commands with a new puppy, but we also center our training around specific behavior problems like anxiety, reactivity, or aggression.

We cannot wait to train your dog into a happy, confident, and well-behaved family member that you can take on any Florida adventure! Are you ready to have the best-behaved pup at the lake? Then complete the free consultation form today!

Dog Owners Reviews

We love customers and their dogs. They love us.

Before we took our dog to Sit Means Sit, it was very stressful having other people over because he would just get so excited and would not be able to calm down. He wasn’t listening well and was just so hyperactive that it would be hard for us to get him to relax. After going…

We took our two pitbulls to Sit Means Sit for training. Sit Means Sit did a wonderful job training our dogs. Kileaux was always easily distracted and Nikita was a rambunctious puppy. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful in teaching us how to work with our dogs on continued training. It is hard to…

Marie B.

I am so pleased and impressed with Sit Means Sit in general. My Aussie puppy did a three week board-and-train since my work schedule limited my ability to go to group classes. They were very understanding and did an excellent job of explaining every aspect of their training methods, their e-collar, and were very open…

The Sit Means Sit program enabled me to take my two dogs Gaea and Dayzee on mountain hikes without worrying about them chasing wildlife. It’s great to hike with my dogs and not worry about spooking the wildlife, thank you!
