Dog Training Experts In Fate, TX
Sit Means Sit Dog Training in Fate provides Professional Dog/Puppy Obedience to all the surrounding areas. Sit Means Sit offers tailored obedience training that's based on your dog's individual needs. We do this because after several decades of using positive reinforcement training, seeing what works and what doesn't, and creating world-class programs, we know that no dog is the same. Our staff of professional dog trainers is well-equipped to help you meet your training goals, so don't hesitate to reach out! Every dog is a unique blend of personality, breed, age, background, and temperament. It stands to reason, then, that training must be somewhat fluid in order to meet a dog where they're at. We believe that no dog is out of reach when there are people willing to approach them as an individual. OUR MISSION IS TO HELP OUR CLIENTS HAVE FUN WITH THEIR DOGS. WHAT SETS US APART? We are committed to the success of each of our clients. Our dog training services are highly diverse and often customizable (private lessons, for example), and we train with the understanding that the real world is full of distractions. Our philosophy is to "proof" behaviors in a safe environment that way the world doesn't undermine any of your dog's hard-won training. Talk is cheap, let us show you!

Dog Owners Reviews
We love customers and their dogs. They love us.

These training classes have made a solid citizen out of our 2-1/2 yo rescue golden retriever. He had been given up for adoption twice before we got him. The instructors were eminently patient and helpful for every issue we presented. We are so grateful for this awesome training.
Thanks to Sit Means Sit, my German Shepherd is a completely different girl. No longer anxious and aggressive with other dogs, she’s happy and motivated and is loving life!
Amazing and life changing–we have learned so much about our dog and enjoy her even more! We know we can keep her safe and well trained around others. Thank you!
