Sit Means Sit provides professional canine training to the surrounding areas, including Franklin and Spring Hill.
Are you tired of your fur baby running away, chewing on your furniture, jumping up and down uncontrollably, or nipping at your friends? We can help! You can learn to control your pet, both on and off leash! Our group classes and private sessions provide the structure that leads to happy, confident, and obedient pups with happy, confident, and satisfied owners.
We have solutions to your problems. At the end of our training, we want you to have a lifestyle dog who can go anywhere with you. We don’t want to take the Good out of your dog; we just want to shape the bad into something positive.
Your pet should be able to accompany you anywhere, be it the mall, the restaurant, or the park, and obey in any situation. However, very few training systems are designed to work around distractions and under real-world conditions.
Our training options are designed to cover everything from basic obedience to advanced tricks. Whether you have a pet who is a “difficult case” and who has failed other classes, or you simply want your new puppy to be molded into a lifelong, reliable family member, we have a variety of options to reach your goals.
At the end of our training, you are still going to have the dog that is happy and tail wagging, we are just going to increase their confidence and improve their obedience around distractions.
From basic dog obedience to advanced training, we can work with all breeds. If you are ready to get your pet trained, contact us today to set up a free evaluation!
Dog Training Classes
Any Dog Any Age Any Problem
Board & Train
Our Board and Train program is designed for those in search of behavior transformation without the time commitment as an owner.
This program is perfect for families that are overwhelmed or have busy, active lives.
Our Sit Means Sit trainers do the hard work while your furry friend stays with us for the course of the Board and Train.
Our experienced trainers work with your dog throughout the day during this package. At the end of the Board and Train, we provide you with all the necessary tools you will need to continue keeping your pet on course.
Often, this is a good choice for the family who works opposing shifts and who just needs someone to take the dog in and own the training process. Additionally, many families will choose our option while traveling, so they can come home to a well-trained dog.
This package includes individual lessons and group classes intended which helps you as the owner to perfct your commands and communication with your pet and to keep your animals polished on their skills. In addition, our lifetime follow-up benefit is included for those who want a perfected and polished pet with all 10-day boards and Trains. Contact us today for a free evaluation.
Day Train
Our Day and Train program is our most popular program. It offers the most flexibility with wonderful results.
You will drop your pet off for 6-8 hours per day to work one-on-one with our trainers. At every pickup, you’ll meet with our trainer for a follow-up lesson, at which time you will be shown your four-legged friend’s daily progress and receive owner coaching while working with your own canine.
This combination of intensive training with owner coaching works extremely well for getting reliable results and creating a pet you can take into any situation. As with all of our training programs, the commands we start with are:
-
Sit
-
Heel
-
Come
-
Place
-
Free
-
Off
-
Out
-
Crate
-
Down
This package can be tailored around the lifestyle that you’re selecting with Sit Means Sit. Contact us to get started!
Private Lessons
Our private lessons are perfectly designed for people who love working with their own pets.
Our Sit Means Sit professional trainer will do a one-on-one lesson with you and your dog to jump-start the transition. After each lesson, a certified trainer will demonstrate detailed homework to work on before the following lesson. After a few lessons and successful home assignments, you’ll be off and running. This package offers a continuation through group classes when the trainer signs off.

Puppy Training
Our puppy course is designed to have your puppy hit the ground running. It will give you the tools you need to keep you on the road to success for a well-rounded and confident canine in the future. Talk to us about the concerns you are having with your puppy. The chewing and other bad habits can be stopped early in the relationship, giving you a lifetime pet who is a reliable family member. We want your friends and family going “wow” when they see your young dog.
The best part of our puppy socialization and obedience course is the financial commitment, which can be applied toward a more advanced package in the future. Start your puppy young, and the sky is the limit! Contact us today to get started!
Group Classes
Training your furry friend doesn’t have to be a pain in your butt! Our group classes give you the best access to achieving advanced behavior goals and correcting deep habits. However, group sessions are only offered for clients who have passed one of our packages and are interested in advanced, hands-on learning with their furry friend.
Our group classes are designed to build on the basics and allow your pet to deepen its skills.
Our trainers will elect to move those interested into advanced and specialty classes with finetuned methods. This is where we really test your pet (and you) on what we can do in the real world. Let’s continue to move forward together and eliminate our bad habits!
Lunch & Learn
If your work days include interactions with canine friends, whether this be at a veterinarian’s office, as a groomer, a pet walker, a boarding facility, or a doggy spa (just to name a few). Let us buy your staff lunch while we teach! We strive to teach our system and share our training strategies.
We wrap up our Lunch and Learn with the opportunity for you and your staff to ask the professionals questions. It’s time to build a better and more experienced staff. Let us help! Our certified, professional trainers look forward to teaching you and your staff and to meeting you.

Dog Owners Reviews
We love customers and their dogs. They love us.
Danielle S.
Kyle is amazing. I didn’t grow up with dogs and needed to know how to teach my dog. Tucker is a much gentler and obedient dog thanks to Kyle’s training! Couldn’t recommend him more!
D. Miller
This training has made a solid citizen out of our 2-1/2 yo rescue golden retriever. He had been given up for adoption twice before we got him. The instructors were eminently patient and helpful for every issue we presented. We are so grateful for this awesome training.
E. Schach
Thanks to Sit Means Sit, my German Shepherd is a completely different girl. No longer anxious and aggressive, she’s happy and motivated and is loving life!
B. Chan
Lilli still believes SMS training is using technology to the fullest and keeping dogs safe by being able to communicate to them off leash. Love your training and have using it for 10+ years. If you are considering ecollar training, definitely get the facts and train with the pros who use it properly and love…
