Puppy Training
Our Puppy Management Program is centered on creating a sturdy foundation of obedience and socialization in the first 16 weeks of your puppy’s life. To give your pet a successful and well-behaved future, the first 16 weeks are crucial in developing the best habits and behaviors necessary to be a good boy. Or a good girl. In this program, your puppy will learn basic commands through positive reinforcement. The owner will also learn strategies to help with hyper behavior and chewing problems. Helping your dog form good habits early in life will help prevent them from developing bad habits later on.
Benefits of Puppy Management
- Less stress and worry about training your newly adopted friend and where to find the time necessary for proper training and instruction
- Knowing your puppy is on the path to a healthier and happier life with you
- Obedience begins early in a dog’s life. Good obedience training can help correct current or emerging problems like disobedience and aggression.
Dog Training Day Care
Our Day Care Training program is specially designed for your busy schedule. You can drop your dog off in the morning on your way to work, and our dog trainers will work with them all day long. When you pick up your pet, our dog trainer will meet with you and review everything your best friend has learned that day. They’ll also give you homework to complete before the next scheduled session. Once you and your pup complete the program, you’ll gain access to our simple bi-weekly training classes for additional support.
Dog Training Day Care is the perfect option for:
- Working pet parents
- Owners who want to interact with their dog after work
- Getting a full day of training for your dog
*Behavioral training may be covered under some pet insurance policies. Check with your provider.
Doggy Day Care is Here!
Check out our brand-new Doggy Day Care for current graduates of our program. Separate from our Dog Training Day Care program, there is no formal training here. Just fun and stimulating activities to keep your furry friends active and engaged during the day while you’re gone. Only available to graduates of our program, so you can trust that every dog present is safe and under control!
Dog Boarding & Training
If you’re looking for faster results, our Board & Train Program may be for you! This program is perfect for pet owners who don’t have the time to develop the foundations of a good training regimen or whose dog needs focused attention to correct more serious issues.
With the Board and Train program, our dedicated team of expert dog trainers does all the heavy lifting for you. Your pup will have our full attention while we work with them day and night in an environment conducive to learning. Upon your return, we will pass the necessary skills onto you as you continue the training at home with homework assignments to complete before your dog’s next follow-up session. Once your program is completed, you’ll acquire access to our group training classes held twice weekly to provide additional support.
We have 3-12 day customizable plans for this option.
If you have an upcoming trip planned, our Board & Train program makes perfect sense. Instead of just boarding or dog sitting, we will train your furry friend to be the best pet they can be while you’re gone!
*Reservations for specific Board & Train dates should be made as early as possible
Our Board and Train Program is a great option if you:
- Have a crazy schedule and don’t have extra time for teaching your furry companion
- Have a long vacation planned
- Aren’t able to provide consistent guidance
- Want your dog to learn new skills while in excellent care
Private Dog Training

If your furry friend has completed the Dog Training Day Care or the Board & Train programs, and you would like them to have more one-on-one assistance from our training team, our dedicated trainers are here to help. Our private lessons are designed to help owners become more involved in their dog’s training experience, so now you can work with your pup with the help of our professional dog training team. Your dog’s trainer will assist you in guiding your good boy or girl while reinforcing obedience and socialization, helping you increase your dog’s confidence.
If you own a puppy, the Private Dog Training program is the perfect addition to managing your dog’s behavior.
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.

Dog Trainers & Staff
Professional trainers. Attentive friendly staff.
With over 20 years of dog training experience, 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 Aid/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.
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. 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.
While training dogs is my passion, I also have 6 dogs in my own”pack” at home including 4 Malinois, 1 German Shepherd, and the boss of the house, our rescue dog “Star”.
