Question on Google
Is socialist something you do for dogs?

With my pup they started slow depending on the issue they have dogs who are pre trained that work with your pup unless there are concerns but on the good side once your dog is ready they offer group classes but baby steps first start small and work your way up. Introducing pets and other animals can be hard but allowing them to meet on uncommon ground normally work's best I have seen my pup go through two stages of the training so far and she's ready for group classes but we haven't been in really excited. Trust is a big thing for pets you need to relax and have trust if your unsure then your pet will be unsure which can cause socialization to be an issue but the trainers will work with not only the pet but the owners as well I strongly recommend you try them out and see if you like it.

Question on Google
Do you train service dogs

Yes. I have worked with many Service dogs.

Community answer · Donald Woodward · 2020-09-21

No. Don't trust them to train.

Community answer · Mk Podschweit · 2019-09-21

These ppl are not bad by no means but I think wht they charge to train isn't reasonable and so many other dog trainers out there offered me way better prices and there were a couple at some of the local pet stores that offered training for me for about 250 to 300 that's more like it I just chose to do it on my own.

Community answer · Shaunna Crane · 2018-09-21

Yes, they do and what they charge is well worth it! It's not just the training. The price includes other things as well. For insurance, when we completed the individual sessions, we graduated to the group module. There is so much to be learned in the group. We can attend as often as possible - which we do at 4x per week. I definitely recommend them! If nothing else, at least call them to check for yourself.

Our sweet girl did board and train here and we couldn’t be happier! The staff are all friendly, patient with our questions, and genuinely love dogs. We feel welcome each time we go, and the value of their training is incredible. The techs who take care of the boarding aspect truly go above and beyond. Everyone is great, the info from each trainer is consistent, and they truly took the time to make sure our dog AND us all knew how to be successful with the training.

I love the tools Mallory (our trainer) has provided thus far. Jaxx has made huge progress with the training he received during his first full week at the facility and continued work at home. I feel excited about his development, knowing that Jaxx will be the best behaved GS ever! Thanks Mallory!

We decided to send our dog to the 10 day board and train program with Sit Means Sit and it was the best decision we have made! We have a Bernese mountain dog and I was worried that his stubbornness would get in the way of his training, but I was completely wrong! It was hard to leave him, but everyone was so kind and supportive. They were very reassuring. Skylar was his trainer and she did such an amazing job with him! I can tell that she loves what she does and really builds a relationship with the dogs she works with. My sweet boy learned so much while he was there and has completely changed our household in such a positive way. We cannot wait to continue to work with Skylar and everyone at Sit Means Sit! If you’re hesitant or worried about getting your dog trained, just do it! It’s so worth it!
