Behavior & Obedience Dog Training Program

Sit Means Sit provides professional canine training to the surrounding areas, including Franklin and Spring Hill.

Interested in learning more about dog training but not sure where to start? We can help! You can learn to work with your dog both on and off leash! Our group classes and private sessions provide the structure that leads to happy, confident, and obedient pups and pup-parents.

Our dogs are an integral part of our lives. At the end of your training program, we want you to have a dog who can go anywhere with you. By working with our trainers, putting in the practice, and remaining committed, we’re confident you and your pup will walk away, tails a-waggin’ at your experience with our training process.

Your pet should be able to accompany you anywhere, such as the mall, a restaurant, or the park. Our dog training programs will help to ensure they can go anywhere with you, and you’ll both have a solid training foundation to rely on in any environment. However, very few training systems are designed to work with day-to-day distractions and real-world conditions we encounter every day.

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, your dog will have increased confidence and improved obedience around life’s daily distractions.

Day Train Program

Our Day and Train program is a very popular program amongst pet parents. It offers the most flexibility with wonderful results. Think of our program like a day camp, you will drop your pup off each day to work one-on-one with professional dog trainers. At the end of every day, at pickup, you’ll meet with your assigned trainer for a follow-up lesson. During this time, you’ll be able to see what your canine companion has been working on, and the two of you will go through a lesson together so your pup can show off their new tricks! Your assigned trainer will be happy to answer questions and discuss your dog’s progress in their program. Our dog trainers not only teach dogs, they teach humans, too!

We’ve seen tremendous results with a combination of daily training with a dog trainer, coupled with training between the dog owner and their canine companion. If you’re worried you don’t have a great deal of training experience, we’re here to help. As with all of our programs, the commands we start with are aligned with basic obedience:

  • Sit
  • Heel
  • Come
  • Place
  • Free
  • Off
  • Out
  • Crate
  • Down
  • This package can be tailored to fit the needs of you and your best friend. Contact us to learn more!

Board and Train Program

Our Board and Train program is an intensive training program where your dog will stay with us and work routinely with our trainers. This option is often selected by families who may have conflicting work schedules, are going away on a vacation, or need an experienced trainer to manage the training process.

Our experienced dog trainers will work with your dog throughout the day on various commands and skills. Please be sure to communicate any specific concerns you have so that we can make the most of your dog’s board and train experience. At the end of the boarding time period, our instructors will make sure that you and your dog have all the tools necessary to continue home training successfully.

This package comes with both individual lessons and group classes to provide time for you and your dog to practice what they’ve been working on in training, and build upon the tools they have established during their Board and Train time. Make sure to ask about our lifetime follow-up benefit!

Puppy Training

Calling all puppy parents! Our Puppy Training program is great for your young fur baby to establish a strong foundation as you both embark on the training experience.

Our services are aimed at meeting the needs of you and your dog and tailoring the training accordingly.

A unique element of our puppy classes resides with the associated financial commitment, which allows you to put funds towards future classes as your youngster advances in their training. We are proud to offer a wide variety of classes with differing skill levels to ensure there is something for everyone. Start your puppy young, and the sky is the limit!

Group Classes

Are you and your dog looking for a new challenge? Then our group training sessions may be right for you. These courses are available only to those who have completed a previous course offering, as these sessions focus on building upon the basics and are more advanced. These dog training classes offer a more advanced training experience and allow your dog to hone in on new skills with friends.

Private Lessons

Our private classes offer the opportunity for clients to work with a dog trainer one-on-one to learn valuable foundational training skills. At the end of each session, you and your dog will be given homework assignments so you can continue to practice what we teach at home before your next session. Once you feel you and your dog are ready, you’ll be able to join group training sessions once your trainer has signed off.

Home Dog Training Lessons

Our dog trainers can come to you, too! Home dog training is ideal for those who want to work with their dog at home or for those who are not yet comfortable coming to a training facility. The comfort of your own home is a great environment for both you and your dog to learn and work on any problem areas, such as your dog’s behavior, bad habits, aggression, anxiety, house manners, and any other challenges you may face at home. Clients can enjoy a personalized dog training experience right from their house.

After working in the Electric Utilities for over 15 years, Kyle decided it was time to spend his days doing what he truly enjoys! Being able to do this with man’s best friend is just the added bonus!

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…
