Puppy Management

Puppy Management

Our Puppy Management program is focused on establishing a strong foundation of obedience and socialization in the first 16 weeks of your pup’s life. When it comes to training, those first 16 weeks are the most crucial, especially if you want to start your furry friend on the track to a successful and well-behaved future. When you teach your pooch how to behave appropriately early on, it can help prevent bad habits from forming later in their life.

Benefits of Puppy Management:

  • With a recently adopted puppy, you’ll have one less thing to worry about because you’ll know that through obedience training, they’re on the path to a happy and healthy lifestyle.
  • If you’re already starting to notice troubling signs of aggression and disobedience, puppy training can help correct that behavior before it gets out of hand.

Trainers & Staff

Professional trainers. Attentive friendly staff.

Ray MedinaOwner/ Head Trainer

I bring over 20 years of dog training experience to the Sit Means Sit Franchise. I have had the pleasure of working and training with some of the top dog trainers and dog handlers both nationally and internationally.

Some of my recent accomplishments include providing Sport Dog and Protection Dog seminars, Obedience Classes, general dog in-services and training for specialized protection dog groups. I also am a Dog Sport Club Training Director and Instructor.

In addition to providing education and training services, I continue to attend countless training seminars and continuing education hours to include some of the most recent and up to date training techniques in the pet/dog industry. I also have my Dog First Aide/CPR certification, updated yearly.

My passion for training dogs has taken me to multiple Sport Dog competitions from AKC Obedience to Protection Sport Association (PSA). In the last few years with my dog ‘Rocky”, we have accomplished some of the highest levels of recognition in the Dog Sport world. Achieving multiple Regional and National Championships. This included 2015 PSA Level3 USA National Champion, 2016 PSA Level3 USA Highest scoring team of the year, 2017 PSA Level3 USA Regional Champion, 2017 PSA Level3 USA National Champion, 2018 PSA Level3 USA Regional Champion, 2019 PSA Level3 Canadian National Champion.

I currently have in my dog pack 6 dogs of my own. This includes 4 Malinois 1 German Shepherd, and the boss of the house our rescue dog “Star”. 

Throughout all my years of training I have learned the greatest enjoyment for me is being able to help and give others the ability to communicate with their dogs, creating a long lasting relationship. Our dogs are and can be our greatest protectors, friends and companions.

I truly feel blessed to be able to give back to the community by showcasing Sit Means Sit training as a smarter, faster and more reliable form of training to all.

“My dog is very high anxiety, and with only five days of training, he follows commands, doesn’t pull when on his leash, and has come out of training more relaxed and keeps amazing me more and more with each day since the training. Don’t hesitate to have the Sit Means Sit team help you with…
