Day Trains
Why drop your dog off at a daycare program when they can spend their day working with a dog trainer? Our Day Train program is a wonderful option for a busy pet parent who might not have time for dog obedience classes but still wants their pup to receive top-notch dog training!
Simply drop off your dog with a professional trainer and they will spend the whole day training! We are experts on improving behavior issues like anxiety and aggression and will practice obedience training, improve good manners, and socialize your dog by exploring off-site, dog-friendly locations. At pick-up, we will review the training process and what your dog learned in short one-on-one sessions so you will have the skills to reinforce your dog’s good behavior at home.
Day Train is an effective training program and can be tailored to any dog with any training or behavior issue!

Board & Train
Take advantage of our Board and Train program if you are heading on vacation or need some extra training help. Your dog will have the ultimate training vacation under the care of knowledgeable dog trainers. For 5 or 10 days, your dog will be boarded at our facility and get full days of obedience training.
Our goal is to go above and beyond basic obedience. We will lay down a great foundation of good manners and positive habits, improve behavioral issues, and even socialize your dog in dog-friendly locations in the community. During a private pick-up lesson, your dog trainer will show you what your dog learned and so you can reinforce their new skills and habits at home. If you are looking for a fantastic boarding kennel and successful training program all under one roof, then look no further than Sit Means Sit Board and Train!

Private Lessons
If you want to learn more about training dogs and be responsible for your dog’s training success, then you might be interested in our Hyrbid Private Lessons. Allow us to lay down a great foundation during a Day Train session before we hand the reins over to you! In one-on-one sessions, you will have the support of an expert dog trainer who will share their proven training methods and help you and your dog build a bond based on confidence and trust. At the end of each lesson, we will send home training homework so you can practice and build up on the lesson.
This is a great option for immersive puppy training or advanced obedience training for an adult dog. Walk away with the skills and knowledge to tackle any behavioral challenge while always having the support of Sit Means Sit. You will finally be able to go shopping at pet-friendly stores with your dream dog!

Puppy Consultation
Is there anything more exciting than bringing home a new puppy? At Sit Means Sit in Smyrna TN, we understand that it’s fun but also takes a lot of work. Taking them to the veterinarian for vaccines, getting microchipped, and finding good food can be stressful. However, at least you have our professional dog training programs to help with puppy training!
It is important to start socializing and encouraging good habits right away, but you still have to be aware of your new puppy’s safety and health. You cannot enroll your puppy in our Day Train program till they are fully vaccinated at 16 weeks, but you can still start training. Our puppy consultation will fill in the puppy training gap between when you bring your new pup home and when they are ready to Day Train. We want to start your puppy off on the right paw, and your trainer will show you how to use food-based training to develop a strong foundation based on confidence and prevent any behavior problems early on. Start your relationship with your new furry canine friend off right with our puppy consultation!
Dog Trainers & Staff
Professional trainers. Attentive friendly staff.

Hi, I am the owner at Sit Means Sit located in Murfreesboro. I moved here in 1996 from Long Island, NY. In 2001, I graduated from MTSU with a degree in criminal justice. Since I was 5, I have been a soccer player and competed at the college level. I am also an avid Crossfitter. I have an AMAZING daughter who shares her father’s love for animals.
After being in the corporate world since I graduated college, I decided to take a leap of faith and pursue a career in canine instruction. After working with several different trainers and then attending a school for professional training of our furry friends, I made the decision to open a Sit Means Sit franchise. I have worked with and been around dogs all my life, anywhere from high obedience/protection dogs to your basic household pet.
The more I get involved with training and learning about dog behavior the more I realize I have an unmatched passion for training dogs. There is nothing more satisfying than having a dog that is well-behaved and well-mannered. This will create a happy family and a happy dog! I am honored to have this opportunity to bring a Sit Means Sit to Middle Tennessee!

Hey there, I handle sales at Sit Means Sit in Murfreesboro. I grew up on my family’s large farm in Pall Mall, TN. After graduating high school I moved here to attend MTSU. I got my degree in Horticulture and opened my first Garden Center in 2001 in Lascassas. I have three wonderful children who definitely keep me on my toes. I enjoy anything fitness, being with family, love to travel, plants are my jam, and dogs bring me much joy.
Since I was a child, I have always enjoyed talking to people and making people smile. Hence why I have always enjoyed selling plants. I became part of the Sit Means Sit family for the same reason. Making people and their four legged friends happy. Once I saw the relationship Sit Means Sit creates between owners and their dogs I knew I wanted to be a part of that process.
Being a part of Sit Means Sit has allowed me to meet so many amazing people and the opportunity to love on all the dogs, but most of all it has allowed me to be a part of building a wonderful client/dog relationship. Nothing beats going to work daily to wagging tails and smiles.

Mabuhay! I’m happy to be the Office Manager of Sit Means Sit in Murfreesboro. You’ll never forget my name as I’ll always be the first one to answer whenever you call! Originally from the Philippines, I earned a degree in Marketing and built a career in the corporate world, where I discovered my passion for serving people. However, when the pandemic hit, I found myself far from my family and decided to take a leap of faith, transitioning to remote work. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, not only do I get to help people, but I also get to make a difference in the lives of their four-legged companions.
Being part of the Sit Means Sit family has given me the opportunity to learn, grow, and witness firsthand the incredible bond between dogs and their owners. Every day, I see how the right training transforms frustration into confidence and strengthens relationships. It’s truly rewarding to be part of a team that helps both dogs and their humans live happier, more harmonious lives.

Dog Owners Reviews
We love customers and their dogs. They love us.
Our sweet little Daisy use to not be “so sweet”. Actually she was a major pain in the rear until Teddy came into the picture. She is so well behaved and quick with her commands now. My 8 year old couldn’t stand her because she would always bite and jump on him. Yes she is…
I’ve known Teddy Wall for years through soccer. My sons and he have played in adult soccer league for years… I had purchased a long haired German Shepherd 10 months old weight around 70 lb. and told my son that I needed someone to train him as I was older now and did not want…
Teddy had our dog, Cyrus for only 5 days and I was amazed beyond belief with the changes that were made in such a short time. Before training, Cyrus would not listen and had many issues with misbehavior. After training, the home is so calm and Cyrus does an amazing job listening. It has been…
Ken was such an AMAZING trainer!! He has helped our family so much! Leon was dog aggressive and extremely hard headed, but within a few days, Ken had Leon sitting next to another dog…yes, another dog!! and get this… He didn’t even break eye contact with me the entire time! 😳❤️ I was completely amazed…
