Day Train
The goal is to make our dog training services accessible to everyone, even the busiest family or working professional. The Day Train program enrolls your dog into immersive training sessions without committing to an overnight board & train. However, you can expect the same results! You drop your dog off for a weekly obedience training lesson with one of our expert dog trainers. They will learn basic obedience, advanced skills, and overcoming behavioral challenges.
At pick-up, you can join group classes to learn what we taught your dog that day and get the tools to continue reinforcing these behaviors at home.
Benefits of Day Training
- Your dog will receive professional-level obedience training without spending the night at a board and train.
- We do the hard work by building a foundation based on basic obedience so you don’t interrupt your daily flow.
- You will have access to advanced training sessions in our Group Classes.

Private Lessons
We love it when owners want to be more involved in the training process! Private Lessons offers one-on-one training sessions with a professional dog trainer who curates the perfect training plan for your dog and their needs. Whether it’s basic obedience, aggression, problem barking, poor leash manners, or potty training, an amazing trainer will be there every step!
Private Lessons are also the perfect place to start for puppy training. You and your new puppy will have private sessions where a trainer will show you how to use positive reinforcement to train basic manners and commands. It’s important to encourage confidence and trust early on so your puppy doesn’t grow into a disobedient or fearful dog. Private Lessons also prepare your puppy to join our Day Train Program when they are old enough!
Our knowledgeable trainers prepare you with the tools to maintain your dog’s good behavior throughout their life. Take your pup out on the boat and know they will be the best-behaved dog on the lake!

Dog Trainers & Staff
Professional trainers. Attentive friendly staff.
With over two decades of experience in professional animal training, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to help you and your furry companion build a strong bond and develop positive behaviors. Prior to my career as a trainer, I served as a handler in the military, where I honed my skills in obedience training and behavior modification.
I am dedicated to providing personalized training programs tailored to the unique needs of each individual and their human counterpart. Let me help you create a happy and harmonious relationship with your loyal friend.
Since Sit Means Sit opened its doors in 2008, I’ve been a part of the team. A profound love for canines has always been in my heart, and witnessing the remarkable transformations facilitated by Sit Means Sit solidified my desire to contribute. At home, I share my life with two remarkable companions: Bella, a Doberman, and Rufus, an American pitbull.
As your initial point of contact when reaching out to Sit Means Sit, I’m proud to hold certification as an AKC evaluator. My primary objective is to equip both you and your furry friend with the guidance and assurance necessary for a fulfilling life together!

Dog Owners Reviews
We love customers and their dogs. They love us.
We’re very happy with the results so far. He’s a changed dog and we are changed owners enjoying our dog so much more.
Marley learns so much here. Every time I have a question or new thing that I would like him to learn all the staff is right there with all the information that you would need. From basic obedience to walking on a treadmill. Recommend them to anyone that is looking to get a new dog…
I adopted my foster and she was pretty dog reactive. I found sit means sit and Pat and Ryan did an amazing job with Mella and I had my hesitations but I can say after 3 months of group class I can now walk Mella past other dogs barking and all she does is cry…
We’ve seen such a change in our rescue dog since we first came to Sit Means Sit in Spring Lake Park. He used to be skittish and scared of strange things (like wood floors and water bowls). We just took him on a big adventure out west for the second year in a row, and…
