FirstBarkMs. Vikki was so amazing and patient with my babies. I hired her to come into my house to work with my 2 dogs that were unable to even look at each other anymore without wanting to rip each others faces off. Because of her teachings and homework we have not had a fight in a very long time. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for help with your fur babies!

What are the prices to train
Do you do service dog training ? I have an 11 week old I want to start training for my grandson who was recently in a major motorcycle accident? I would need to know how much and do you accept monthly payments for training ?

Vikki is amazing! We picked up our dog, Fitz, after two weeks with her, and he came home the absolute best version of himself. He’s so much more independent and confident, listens to commands incredibly well, and is now fully potty trained. The difference in him is remarkable! You can tell Vikki genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and puts so much time and attention into them. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog!

I had such an amazing experience with Sit Happens. Vikki has been so awesome and such a wonderful person to work with. I came in with my deeply anxious pup Pete, who was scared and uncomfortable even in their empty, appropriately stimulating environment(🥲) about 4 months before a big cross country move. In that time, we made absolute leaps and bounds. He’s like a new dog! Confident and curious in new environments, able to walk for 30+ minutes, and capable of interacting with other people, dogs, and cats without showing signs of anxiety. She even took the time to research trainers & vets that would fit the bill in my new city. If you have an anxious/reactive dog, WORK WITH VIKKI! As a side note, I’m a visibly queer person and that’s always something I need to consider when doing things in Louisiana. Never once has that been an issue or concern while working with Sit Happens. If I could give them 6 stars, I would!

Vikki is an amazing dog trainer! We did 4 sessions of in-home training over the span of 2 months. After the first visit, I felt like I had finally found the support and relief I needed to train my super sweet and energetic/anxious dog, Franny. She was great with Franny and explained everything clearly and concisely to me so that I could confidently practice on my own. Would recommend Vikki 100%. <3
Vikki was amazing. Our dog (and us) learned so much from her. Our whole family enjoyed the training sessions and it was easy to practice what was learned each week. The detailed emails following each session helped to remind us what to work on. Highly recommend her to train your dog!!
