Dog Training
Experts In Gaylordsville

Sit Means Sit Dog Training Gaylordsville provides professional dog and puppy obedience training in Gaylordsville, New Milford, and surrounding Connecticut areas. 

At Sit Means Sit, we believe in strengthening the relationship between a dog and their owner through obedience training. An obedient dog knows what’s expected of them and, therefore, can respond appropriately even in the most distracting situations. While an untrained dog tends to feel stressed and anxious due to a lack of routine and understanding. When you work with us, you’ll be paired with a professional dog trainer who will get to know your dog’s specific needs, target them, and help your pup become the best version of themselves!

Our attention-based training programs will help make your dog more happy, confident, and well-behaved. No matter the age, size, or breed of your canine, we are here and ready to help.

Puppy Management

When it comes to training, the first 20 weeks of a dog’s life are the most important. This time when they’re a puppy is crucial in setting a foundation of obedience and good manners for the rest of their life. Some of the first things we target are potty training and biting. If your canine knows the right way to act early on, it can prevent issues from popping up in the future.

Why Choose Our Puppy Management?

  • Puppy training is an important time for imprinting and not having unwanted behaviors.
  • We will teach you to raise a well-mannered, happy and confident puppy.
  • We will get you on the right track for potty training

Make sure your puppy is on the right path toward excellent behavior skills! Contact us today to get started with a FREE evaluation!

Private Lessons are an excellent option for pet parents that want to be directly involved with their dog’s training. You’ll work with your designated trainer to increase Fido’s obedience skills. Together you’ll develop a training plan based on your needs and the trainer’s observations. We can work with you and your dog in the comfort of your home or in our facility, depending on your preference.

Why Choose Private Lessons?

  • Working with your dog during the entire training process will help you build a better relationship with them.
  • In the end, you’ll have a happy and confident canine
  • This package comes with a lifetime of phone consultations.

Day & Train Program

Our Day & Train Program is our most popular choice among clients. This program is a hybrid version of a typical board & train. Instead of Fido spending the night at our facility, they come home with you at the end of each day! So, your pooch doesn’t have to stay anywhere overnight and be away from you and your family for long periods of time. Each day you’ll drop your canine off, and they’ll work with their unique trainer who will customize the sessions to accommodate your dog’s needs.

Benefits of Our Day & Train Program

  • Your dog will build new confidence and trust within your unit
  • At the end of each day, you’ll receive a free private lesson
  • We offer wide flexibility in our Day & Train schedule

So far it has been wonderful. The trainer is amazing.

Hands down the best trainers plus such wonderful people, which makes it all worth it! Carolann is like the dog whisper! To our 10 month old doberman, sit did NOT mean sit! To him, it meant to do whatever HE felt like doing! As first time doberman owners, we didn’t know what to expect, but…

Our Ziva did board and train with Carolann. We could not be happier. We needed Ziva to learn to listen and learn the command come for safety reasons. We have dogs in the neighborhood that are running loose and we could not get Ziva to listen to hurry and place her in the house or…

I’ve brought two dogs there and was very impressed with the results. Both dogs had anxiety issues when I adopted them – including separation anxiety. The trainer was able to remedy this issue along with basic obedience, crate training, and potty training. The facility was clean and I felt comfortable leaving my pups there overnight….
