About Sit Means Sit Dog Training

Dog Training Programs

Any Dog Any Age Any Problem

Board & Train

The Board and Train Program is our most efficient training option and one of our most popular. Your dog will spend several nights and days with us receiving not only safe and comforting boarding care, but top-notch training that will have them transformed by the end of their stay. When we return your dog,to your home you will see just what a positive impact obedience training can have on the relationship between you and your pet.

You will quickly find that freedom and contentment come from a relationship built on trust. The key to this relationship after such an intense round of training is the transfer of leadership that happens once you return. The staff is well-equipped to bring you up to speed and make the transition back to home life perfectly seamless.

Day Train

The Day Train Program is perfect for owners who want to be hands-on, but don’t have the time or ability to adjust to something as intense as private lessons. It works like this: We pick up your pup from your home for 6-8 hours of top-tier training taking them to parks and pet friendly businesses, then at the end of the day we bring your pup home and have a lesson going over the newly learned commands from that week.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are for owners who need a highly customizable training solution and who want to be highly involved with the outcome of their dog’s training. You can pick the time that works best for you and any place that you feel like needs specific attention. For example, if your dog struggles to pay attention when you’re walking in the park, you can hold your lessons there.

Board & Tune

My career has been dedicated to working with animals in all different stages of their life. During the past 19 years, I’ve worked in nearly all facets of the animal care world.  I’ve had the pleasure to work as a veterinary Assistant/Technician in several animal hospitals, manage two different animal shelters,work for and manage numerous daycare and boarding facilities and through those positions i continued to grow a knowledge for not only animal care but became particularly interested in animal behavior I loved learning and figuring out how i could improve the quality of life for that animal both mentally and physically.  I could never imagine a life without animals! I’ve fostered so many over the years that I have lost count. I never stray away from a difficult situation, and have taken on the worst behavioral challenges and medical cases both in foster and in training. Some of those animals even became a part of my family. I currently have 4 canine and 3 feline furry family members that love to travel with me and continue to have adventures in new places.

I’ve rescued 5 dogs over 30 years. Miss Bella was a real challenge. 9 months old & crazy. I called n tears to Sit Means Sit Dog training. They came out immediately & picked her up for a 2 week stay. Megan McKenzie trained her for me. She did an AMAZING JOB!! My Bella came…

Having Bette Davis go through your training is the BEST money ever spent!! 7 years later she is super well behaved!! I take her everywhere.

I came to Sit Means Sit as a very frustrated owner. I had even started looking for a new home for Emma because of her accidents and extreme fear of thunderstorms. I had talked with 5 other board and train programs before I met with Megan but I knew within the first 5 minutes that…

I was nervous about not having my Kali by my side, the moment I met Megan I knew she’d take great care of her! Kali is unbelievably smart but equally stubborn and my first large and strong dog. I knew obedience training would strengthen our relationship and open up the world of dogs park in…
