Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.
How do you handle a dog who’s aggressive and scared?
Great question Matt!
Handling a dog that's both aggressive and scared requires a combination of patience, understanding, and effective training techniques. It's crucial to avoid escalating the situation by not provoking the dog or putting them in stressful situations.
Understanding the root cause of the dog's aggression and fear is essential. Identifying these triggers allows us to develop a targeted training plan.
Positive reinforcement techniques are key in addressing this behavior. We focus on rewarding calm and non-aggressive behaviors while gradually desensitizing the dog to their triggers. This might involve creating a safe and comfortable environment for the dog, providing mental stimulation, and engaging in activities that build trust and confidence.
Consistency is paramount in our training approach. We establish clear boundaries and expectations for the dog's behavior, ensuring that everyone involved in their care follows the same guidelines.
Do you expose dogs to different environments and situations during training?
This is our favorite. During our trainings we train around many other dogs, go on field trips all around the community and of course our group classes are where we create confidence building drills for real life scenarios.
You can find us at Scheels, Home Depot, Lowes, surrounding parks, pet stores, outside of dog parks, and more!

Sit Means Sit is a great teaching program not only for the dog but as well as the owners. We thought we had a good training program by ourselves for Kona our 4 year old German Shepherd, but then she started showing issues with not listening, pulling on her leash and constant barking when she was in the back yard. My wife and I decided to look into a training program for Kona. We ended up at Sit Means Sit and it was the best decision we’ve made for Kona. At first I thought it was going to be a week long training and then we were on our own, it was the complete opposite we have now been going to one on one sessions for 2 months after Kona’s training and it has been extremely helpful. Kona is a completely different dog thanks to SMS.

Our sweet dog is much more enjoyable now that he behaves. Walks are so much fun without the pulling and barking at other dogs, and he enjoys the training and expectations. All the trainers have been knowledgeable and they really care about my dog. Recommend 100%.

The training team at this company is very welcoming, understanding, and knowledgeable and wants to see you and your dog succeed in creating a better relationship with each other. I have felt very supported by this team of trainers! They recently moved and their new space is much larger and feels even more welcoming. They have a great community of other dogs/owners who attend group training classes and it’s fun to see everyone want the best for their dog!
