Professional Dog Training in Monona, WI

As his expertise grew, he joined the Sit Means Sit franchise to be part of a community committed to advancing canine training techniques. Over the years, he has attended numerous seminars on obedience and police K9 training and has been involved in protection work, dog training, dock diving, detection, barn hunt, and more. He has also contributed to therapy and service dog training, including helping the United States Tennis Association develop a program that allows service dogs to be integrated into the game.

As a certified Pet Tech CPR and First Aid Instructor and a proud member of Go Team Therapy Dogs alongside his loyal companion, Gauge, Mike is committed to the well-being of every dog he trains. His mission is simple: to help dogs and their owners build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

When he’s not training, Mike enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, kayaking, grilling, and traveling—always with a four-legged friend by his side.

In 2015, Paige earned her Bachelor’s degree in Finance from UW-La Crosse. Soon after moving back home, she welcomed her first puppy of her own—a ten-week-old Shepherd/Lab/Husky mix named Nitro. As Nitro grew, he developed anxiety and reactivity, leading Paige on a journey to better understand dog behavior. That path eventually brought her to Sit Means Sit, where she met Mike. The two connected through their shared passion for dogs and married in 2019.

Since joining Sit Means Sit, Paige has dedicated herself to helping dogs and their owners build stronger, more connected relationships—just as she did with Nitro. She is a certified Pet Tech CPR and First Aid instructor, a certified trainer through Sit Means Sit, and a proud member of the Go Team Therapy Dog team. Over the years, she has attended numerous training seminars and events, continuously expanding her knowledge. Paige also enjoys competing with her own dogs in sports like dock diving, barn hunt, and PSA.

When she’s not working with dogs, Paige loves traveling, spending time with family and friends, and making memories with her own beloved pets.

Before stepping into the world of dog training, Brenna worked in the hospitality industry as a Hostess, Server, and Bartender. Her ability to connect with people and her natural patience made the transition to dog training seamless. In 2021, she joined the Sit Means Sit team, quickly proving her dedication and skill. By 2023, she had worked her way up to Manager, and today, she proudly serves as Training Manager.

Brenna’s love for both people and animals shines through in every training session. She has a relaxed, easygoing approach that helps both dogs and their owners feel comfortable and confident. Whether she’s coaching a nervous pet parent or helping a dog master new skills, her goal is always the same—to create stronger, happier relationships between dogs and their humans.

When she’s not training, you can find Brenna exploring the outdoors—kayaking, camping, hiking—or just enjoying a laid-back night in with friends, Netflix, and, of course, Daisy by her side.

In 2018, he and his wife welcomed their first pet together, Kida, followed soon by Zuko. Both went through the Sit Means Sit program as clients, sparking Josh’s passion for dog training. In 2023, he officially joined the team, combining his coaching expertise with his love for dogs to help owners build better relationships with their pups.

When he’s not working with canines, you’ll find Josh experimenting with bold and unusual recipes in the kitchen or immersed in a tabletop gaming adventure.
