Casselberry Dog Trainer
Sit Means Sit is a company committed to giving dogs their best lives through our pet training services. We use a system of training methods that have been proven to work by years of happy dogs and owners alike.
Dog training should not just be reserved for those with all the time in the world to dedicate to it. We know how it only takes one disobedient or misbehaving dog to contribute incredible amounts of stress to your life even though you love them dearly, which is why we’ve curated a list of options that appeal to different walks of life.
Our dog trainers are adept at working with every kind of dog breed, in every age range, and with every behavior problem, including aggression. All are welcome to our many programs which include the Day and Train program, Board and Train, private glasses, and group classes! By the end of any one of these, you will have a dog that knows their boundaries and lives a happier, fuller life because of it. You will be able to take them out with you to your favorite quiet spots, hiking trails, or dog parks without having to stress about containment.
The first step to having this kind of relationship with your dog is scheduling a FREE consultation. This way, you can get a feel for the situation and your dog can be evaluated while asking and receiving answers to all your questions.
Here is some information on a few of our programs:

Any Dog Any Age Any Problem
Board and Train
The Board and Train option is unique in that it combines 24-hour care for your pet with professional training. This approach is the single most efficient path for your dog’s training. Because of the complete submersion into a lifestyle of learning, your dog will be fully transformed by the time you return to pick them up.
This option isn’t just for those heading off on vacation. It can be utilized by people who are too busy to dive into the training with their pets. In fact, anyone who wants their dog to be propelled through their studies at an astounding speed is welcome to drop their dog off for up to 20 days of loving care and attention.
At the end of your dog’s stay, it’s important to engage and become the new leader. Your dog will have just spent quite some time learning from individuals who are not you, so learning to take command is important for the longevity of your pet’s training. The professionals at Sit Means Sit will make sure you don’t go home until you’re equipped to handle anything that might come up.
Because your dog will be staying for some time, it makes sense that you would want to become familiar with the environment. We always offer free consultations to those looking into working with us, but we really encourage owners looking into Board and Train to take advantage of this option for the sake of their peace of mind. Contact Us Today to book your consultation!
Day and Train
Day and Train is a blend of boarding and private lessons. It’s not as disconnected as the Board and Train option, but it’s not as intensive as private lessons. The combination is such that anyone, even those with busy lives and work schedules, can get their dog the training they need and remain involved.
Once a week for three weeks, you will drop your dog off for 6-8 hours where they will partake in our training programs. You will then pick them up at the end of the day and take part in a 1-hour session with your dog’s professional trainer. This meeting informs of you of everything your dog accomplished and it gives you the training you need to maintain all the established good behaviors your dog worked so hard to achieve throughout the day.
In this way, you’re allowing us to take don’t the most difficult part of the training and lightening your own burden. You don’t have to give up your comfortable evenings at home with your canine companion, and it gives your pup the chance to ease into a new lifestyle of obedience.
Private Lessons
Private lessons with a pet trainer will be hard work for everyone, but they are so incredibly beneficial. When owners are so involved in their pet’s training, they see a relationship develop that is made up of unprecedented depth and understanding.
Group Classes
Group classes are a lot of fun, but they’re also practical. The learning environment is full of new and exciting distractions, just as the real world will be. Because of this, we can establish the dog’s behavior on a foundation that is virtually unshakable.
These classes take place multiple times at the training facility and at dog parks. Additionally, they are included with every Sit Means Sit Membership.
Puppy Training Class
We all want that best friend who is unquestioningly devoted. A lot people find this friend in a puppy, which is an excellent choice. However, to keep your relationship happy and healthy, training is absolutely important. The earlier you establish boundaries, the more natural it is for your dog to obey, which means puppy training, when possible, is the best option.
Our puppy classes occur every Saturday for dogs who are 10-20 weeks old. All the essential skills will be taught such as mark training, socialization, potty training, lure training, and general confidence. As the owner, you will learn all the necessary skills to maintain your puppy’s training and encourage a lifetime of obedience.

Dog Owners Reviews
We love customers and their dogs. They love us.
If you’re hesitant about this company, take the leap!!! I was so scared to leave my fur baby for training, but when I got him back, he was so well behaved and properly trained. They care about your pups and will send you pictures throughout the stay. My golden retriever was decently trained but wasn’t…
I’ve had dogs pretty much all of my life. I grew up with them, loved them, cared for them but I didn’t really know how to train them until I joined Sit Means Sit. They helped me be a better leader for my Doberman Daisy. When she struggled they helped me realize she was leash-reactive…
Sit Means Sit is AMAZING! I first contacted them two years ago to help with my 5 year old dog, Loki. He had been exhibiting some very aggressive behavior due to some changes in our home. I opted to do the board and train and the results were fantastic. I got updates of his progress…
I adopted a 3 1/2 year old Shepard mix from the pound 3 months ago. After a month of warming up to me, he was comfortable. He began showing his dominant personality and gave me huge challenges. Since joining Sit Mean Sit, I am able to take my dog on walks without dragging behind him…
