The Best Dog Training in Gaylordsville
Sit Means Sit Dog Training Gaylordsville provides professional dog and puppy obedience training in Gaylordsville 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.

Our follow-up group training continues after our one-on-one training programs to ensure you and your dog continue to achieve your training goals.
Training & Services
Day Training
Our Day Training 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…
Private Lessons
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…
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…
Behavior Modification Training
In addition to our training programs, we can train your dog or pup to overcome specific behaviors and emotions for a happier, healthier dog.
Aggressive
An aggressive dog can cause difficulties when trying to incorporate them into your daily life, and can create stress and strain for everyone in your household. Often these behaviors stem from factors like inadequate socialization, fear, stress, or negative past experiences. Working collaboratively, you and your trainer can address and resolve some of these behavioral…
High Anxiety/Fear
Whether it’s a fear of strangers, other dogs, or separation from their owner, it can be incredibly challenging to train an anxious dog. Our trainers will work closely with you and your pup to gradually increase their comfort zone through positive experiences, building your dog’s confidence in a safe and productive way. Signs of Anxiety…
High-Distraction
Does your dog bolt the second they see a squirrel, person, or another dog across the street? These distractions are unavoidable in the real world, which is why our trainers focus and specialize in high-distraction training. With consistency, we can help direct your dog’s focus to you in any situation when distractions arise….
Off-Leash
If you aspire to enjoy the freedom of having your dog off-leash while exploring your favorite trails or during camping adventures, off-leash training could be a perfect fit for you and your furry companion. Off-leash training is distinct from obedience, although skills such as recall are the foundation of off-leash training. Our trainers will begin…
Reactive
A reactive dog overreacts to normal situations that other dogs would take in stride. They become overstimulated easily and may bark, lunge, and growl at something as simple as another dog or person walking on the other side of the street. Attention to training is extremely important, as reactivity can turn into aggression. The cause…
Socialization
Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog. The best time to socialize is between 10-16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue dogs enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put…

See More ReviewsCarolanne changed my life with my 3-yr old Lab. Head strong and after we got him my husband started on the dementia path. I had a lot going on and could not spend the time with Buster that he deserved. Sit mean sit was recommended to me and I took him there. In the evaluation she “got” him right away. We both agreed he needed to stay for 15 days as he needed intensive work. The dog I got back is amazing. She changed his life and mine. I can walk him now without fear of being pulled over. I say sit once and he sits and doesn’t break. He will now have a better life. I am so thankful and so impressed by the sit mean sit method. I highly recommend it and Carolanne in particular.
So far it has been wonderful. The trainer is amazing.
