Dog Training Experts In Decatur, AL
Sit Means Sit North Alabama provides professional dog and puppy training in Huntsville, Madison, Decatur, and surrounding North Alabama areas.
We are lucky to live in an area with so many dog-friendly places that we enjoy with our furry friends! However, it is frustrating when you see everyone else’s perfect fur babies enjoying being in public and your dog barks, jumps, pulls on the leash, or growls at other dogs.
It sounds like you have not found the best training program for you and your dog! Sit Means Sit offers multiple training programs that prepare your pet with proper socialization, basic commands, and advanced obedience. These are not your average dog training classes! Instead, our trainers customize training programs based on the dog’s training needs. We specialize in off-leash training, and high-level obedience, handling all behavior problems including jumping, loose leash walking, chewing, bad recall, aggression, or reactivity.
Contact our team of expert trainers to find a training course that will transform your unruly dog into a well-behaved family member. Call today to schedule a free consultation!

Dog Training Classes
Any Dog Any Age Any Problem

Day Train
One of our most popular training programs is the Day Train Program! Instead of generic training classes or an expensive board and train program, you get to drop off your pup in the morning for a full day of focused training and pick up a well-trained pup later that day. Your pup will spend the day having fun, but also working with a dog trainer building a foundation of obedience skills and manners. At pick-up, we have a trainer consultation that will teach owners our training techniques so they can continue reinforcing behavior at home.
This training course can be tailored to your pooch and their dog training goals. We send home activities to help your dog continue to be successful.
Included in this dog training program are unlimited Group Classes! We want you to have the opportunity to continue your dog training journey even after you have completed the Day Train program!

The Ultimate
The Ultimate Package is the perfect training program for the dog owner who wants to be directly involved in the dog training process.
Drop off your dog for a Day Train so a trainer can build an obedience foundation, then enjoy two private dog training classes with one of our Sit Means Sit professionals. During these private lessons, a trainer will teach you the skills and assign training activities so you can have your training success at home!
The Ultimate dog training program includes lifetime group classes! Continue growing your and your dog’s relationship based on obedience, trust, and confidence.

Group Training
*** Available for existing clients only
After you have completed your initial private program, it is crucial to continue fine-tuning your dog’s training skills in new environments and around new distractions. That is why we offer life-time Group Training Classes for clients who have completed our other training programs.
Work with other owners and their dogs who share a similar goal, building a strong relationship with their furry family members. By polishing up your training, you will have a dog you trust to obey off-leash while hiking your favorite North Alabama mountain!

Puppy Training
Our puppy training course helps new puppies start in the right direction by giving owners the tools to start reinforcing good behaviors right away! Avoid behavior problems in the future by diving into puppy training and creating a happy, well-behaved, family member. The trainers teaching our puppy classes will guide you through managing your puppy and their behaviors as well as establishing a potty training routine right away.
We understand the impact a new puppy can have on your budget, so we include puppy training programs in future Day Train or Ultimate packages. Your puppy has unlimited potential when you start training with Sit Means Sit today! We cannot wait to hear from you!
Dog Trainers & Staff
Professional trainers. Attentive friendly staff.

I am the owner of Sit Means Sit North Alabama, and since I can remember I have been around dogs my entire life. I spent many years in the Army and became a pilot soon after getting out of the Military. I knew I could do much more to help families live in harmony with their pets. I have never had less than four dogs in the household since I was 5 years old. I have grown to love and respect dogs to where they are just a normal part of my life. My wife, Jessica and I have lived all over the United States, and we are ecstatic to bring Sit Means Sit to the North Alabama area!

Hello, I am a owner and trainer at Sit Means Sit North Alabama. I fell in love with dogs after meeting my husband, Alex, who had four dogs living in his family home. My husband and I moved to Georgia and got our first dog together. She was so amazing we decided to get two more.
We were Sit Means Sit clients before my husband and I decided to become owners and trainers in the Sit Means Sit community. One of our dogs is dog aggressive and we could not take him on walks or get even remotely close to another dog. I was so impressed and grateful for his training, because Sit Means Sit allowed our dog to be a well behaved dog again. We can take him out with us to so many different places without him being a liability. That is why I chose to expand within the community and offer my help to other dog families. I want to help provide the gratitude, confidence, and love I experienced to you. I am so excited to meet you and your fur babies.

I am the office manager for Sit Means Sit North Alabama. I love all dogs and my husband, Ken, and I have four of our own. My sons loved having dogs as children and are still dog lovers as adults as well. I have been around dogs my entire life and admit I spoil my own a little too much. Ken and I have trained our own pups using the Sit Means Sit method. We totally believe in the training.
I have a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Virginia Commonwealth University and a master’s of business education from Middle Tennessee State University. I was a high school business/marketing teacher for 16 years and now very happy to be working with Sit Means Sit. I am looking forward to serving you on your Sit Means Sit journey to a happy, well-trained dog.

Dog Owners Reviews
We love customers and their dogs. They love us.
Before training, I couldn’t walk Gus (my large 4 year old lab) around anyone else in the neighborhood or take him anywhere in public. His leash pulling and barking at others was embarrassing and uncontrollable, and I finally sought training. I was told by a different trainer Gus would be too big and difficult to…
I cannot say enough good things about Sit Means Sit training. My Zoey girl is 10 months old and taking her on a walk or anywhere was a nightmare. She barked, pulled, and jumped on people. It was embarrassing. Before training she would not come when called and basically ignored any attempt to tell her…
Jessica & Alex are truly miracle workers! We noticed a difference after the first session literally. We were a little skeptical about it only being 3 sessions but boy were we wrong. We have our final session this weekend and could not be more happy. They are very helpful and answers any and every question…
We could not be happier with our experience! We are having our puppy, Juniper, trained here for her reactivity as well as basic obedience. If you are on the fence, let me assure you that this has been the best investment that my husband and I have ever made. Before we started her training she…
