Location
Check each group class for specific location information — we host group classes at our facility or local parks. Each environment offers an opportunity for your pup to mingle with others and practice commands.
What to Bring
Whether your dog loves bite-sized biscuits or meaty treats, we recommend bringing whatever gets their tail wagging. The higher the reward, the better their focus. In addition, you should bring your Sit Means Sit Dog Training Collar with a leash or line.
Feel free to bring a versatile cot for indoor and outdoor training. Having a raised bed or mat can give your dog a designated spot to relax and practice the “place” command.
For some classes, we may tell you to bring toys or household items to practice the “leave it” command. Check our calendar page for specific details.
Training Activities
Our certified trainers use an attention-based model to help you gain your dog’s attention, even in distracting environments. Our professionals may use various training tools throughout activities, including collars, leashes, toys and food. The lessons focus on:
- Collar conditioning: Practice having your dog wear the Sit Means Sit dog collar. Get your pup to become more comfortable and acclimated to the training tool throughout different exercises.
- Distraction training: Give your furry companion commands in distracting situations. Reward your pet for listening and following your cues with disciplined behavior.
- Specialty skills: Teach your dog new tricks, including nosework and agility exercises. See your pup smile as they run through obstacles, play interactive games and win challenges.
How to Cancel
Wake up sick or realize you overbooked your schedule? No worries. Please cancel any group classes you signed up for at least four hours in advance. Giving us an early heads-up allows us to plan accordingly and offer the open spot to anyone on a waitlist.
