Experts In Loveland
Sit Means Sit provides professional dog training programs in Fort Collins, Loveland, and the surrounding Northern Colorado areas. Every one of our trainers has extensive experience, using the latest in science-based methods and positive reinforcement.
Pet training is about more than just tricks that will wow the crowd. Training is about creating an environment that’s happy and safe for everyone. Your dog lives their best life when they’re well-behaved. Dogs thrive on boundaries and clear expectations. Without those things, your dog never knows how to elicit a positive response from their owner and that can be frustrating.
Our trainers are skilled at communicating with all dogs, regardless of their age, breed, size, or behavioral history. At Sit Means Sit, we approach training in a way that brings dogs and owners together.
We specialize in:
- Basic Obedience
- Off-Leash Control
- Aggression
- Anxiety
- Boundaries
- Control of unwanted behaviors

If you’re heading out of town, what better way to ensure your dog will receive the best care, than entrust them to our team of highly-trained professionals?

Dog Boarding
Dog boarding is another option if you’re in need of someone to care for your companion while you’re out of town. It doesn’t come with training, but it does come with a lot of love and attention. Your pup will spend a good portion of the time socializing with other dogs and enjoying mental and physical stimulation that will keep them engaged.
No matter how long your pup needs to stay, whether it be one night or a few weeks, we can promise a quality experience. Our boarding facilities are clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything your dog could need. If you want to make sure your dog has a great time while you’re away, contact Sit Means Sit Dog Training today to learn more!
Monthly Refresher Classes
*Existing Clients Only
Many dogs and owners find that one course isn’t enough to remain comfortable and confident in their training. If you find yourself in that predicament, you don’t have to worry. We offer monthly refresher classes with all program packages that are private, personalized lessons for you and your pup to keep you up to speed and feeling like you can take on the world.
Training is an ongoing thing. Your dog is constantly growing and changing, which means you always have to be on top of their behavior. Whether your dog needs some reinforcement with an obedience matter, or they’re developing a quirk you don’t particularly want hanging around, we’re here to help. Whatever your needs, these monthly classes will address any and all of your concerns.
Meet the New Owners!
Professional trainers. Attentive friendly staff.
My journey with Sit Means Sit began nearly 13 years ago, inspired by my experience with an aggressive pitbull. Determined to provide a better path, I started training my 6-month-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Maximus. We quickly advanced through obedience training and went on to work as a therapy dog team while also competing in flyball. Sit Means Sit has opened countless doors for us along the way.
Today, I run the Cruisin K9’s flyball team out of Firestone, CO, Along with Maximus, I’m proud to train and compete with my Dutch Shepherd, Elliegator, in dock diving, and my Chihuahua, Habanero, in both disc dogs and flyball. I have a deep passion for working with high-drive sport dogs, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you and your dog!

Dog Owners Reviews
We love customers and their dogs. They love us.
My “crazy” dog, Rose, was within hours if being put down. She had severe panic attacks & would bark uncontrollably. The neighbors were scared of her and someone even called the police on her. Our family was miserable and the whole household was tense and unhappy. After working with Adam we are able to bring…
Their training philosophy and process is incredible. After one session my very intelligent border collie golden retriever mix was like a different dog. I am so impressed with the improvement she has made. We have worked with her since she was a puppy and she is now three years old, and I am just blown…
Sit Means Sit NoCo is amazing! Adam has been working with my two daughters and their Golden Retrievers for a very short time and we have already seen incredible results. He is a patient and encouraging instructor. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
I absolutely love the classes taught by Adam of Sit Means Sit! My 2-year-old Lab/Border Collie Raven is learning quickly all the good manners a dog is expected to have – and much more: we are now doing some agility training and preparing for the CGC certificate. Every dog should go through this training and…
