Dream Puppy Training

The Dream Puppy Academy is designed for puppies from 4 to 11 months old. Specifically designed to give you the puppy of your dreams in as little as 35 days, depending on the program and your goals. Rather than months or years, all without sending them away. To achieve this, we combine “full day” immersive training for your puppy with one of our certified trainers, daily private lessons for you and your family, video and written support materials and lifetime group classes.

Sit Means Sit offers the most comprehensive one-on-one training for you and your puppy right here in Westchester. In other words, you no longer need to send them away for weeks to achieve long-lasting, great results. Our years of experience with hundreds of dogs, puppies and owners, taught us that including the owners in every step of the process results in happy, confident, obedient puppies and happy, satisfied clients. Rather than catching up for weeks after your puppy was trained, we combine full-day immersive training with personalized private owner lessons and lifetime group classes….to get the most out of your puppy’s training.

Puppy Training Program Design

Firstly, once per week, for four to six weeks, your puppy will spend the day with us at our 5000 square foot training center. Everything here is part of ‘real-life’ training; distractions (dogs, people, agility equipment even running on the treadmill); trips to local parks, and dog-friendly stores (pet food stores and home improvement are our favs) and working around our trained demo dogs.

Then, after each day, we meet for a private lesson, for you and your family. This allows us to review your puppy’s progress, smooth over any rough spots you had in group class (or the previous week’s homework) and practice your homework. But don’t worry, we understand that home life can be hectic… so our assignments take 15 minutes, and only a couple of times per day. In fact, many of the lessons are worked right into your daily routines.

Additionally, tying it all together, you and your puppy also get lifetime group obedience classes every Tuesday and Saturday. Group is the perfect place to practice your new skills with a trainer and around other puppies, and dogs, who are at the same point in their learning journey. Thereupon, we can help you, in real time, with any challenges. Furthermore, our trainers can strategize a plan to work through any issues when you come for training days.

Finally, it is all backed by Neil’s “No Quibble” Lifetime Training Guarantee. Lifetime results are our goal and we will work with you to maintain them for the life of your dog.
