What people have asked about this business.
How much does your dog training cost?
There are a number of factors that we evaluate prior to building a training package for you such as your dog’s age, temperament, previous training, as well as the desired goals of the owner. Because of these factors, we offer a free demonstration & consultation as an opportunity to meet with your family as well as your dog to gain insight into the unique circumstances that affect your dog’s training.

Community answer · Sit Means Sit Dog Training Frederick · 2021-09-21
Yes, they do. Once you complete the basics you go to group class so your dog so do speak gets used to different experiences, people, other dogs, and still have a successful life around every day life situations. It is amazing, and it's right on where your dog's needs are worked on (not individually necessarily) along with the others in the class. You can ask questions and review the videos on your individual dog train. It's really good!
How do you train a dog not to be aggressive to other dogs
Yes, my dog was very reactive to people and dogs. He still is to some degree but SMS has helped a GREAT deal and given excellent insight on how do deal in different situations. Keep in mind that this is continuous process; does not get resolved overnight. They worked on other issues as well at the same time. I would highly recommend them.

When we first came into sit means sit we were at our wits end with our sweet Arlo. He pulled on the leash and was not a good listener. Within one class he was following commands and after two classes he was a joy to walk on a leash. He is not the same dog we brought in for his first training class! We have always loved him but now we can enjoy him! Rosemary was helpful and so invested in him and his success. We couldn’t be more grateful! The process is easy and the price is so worth it for the dog that he is now! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

We have had the pleasure of working with Cole through puppy class and now extended training, and we continue to be impressed by the progress our puppy is making. Our pup is becoming more obedient and manageable while still keeping the sweet personality we love.
Cole is patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. As first-time puppy owners, we are learning right alongside our puppy, and he helps us understand the best training methods and how to apply them consistently at home.
We truly appreciate the time, support, and guidance we receive, and we are so grateful we chose Sit Means Sit in Frederick. The experience has been fantastic, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re on the fence about training your puppy, go for it—you won’t regret it!

Our first session with Marty was fantastic. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire training process with our dog, Milo. Marty took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure both Milo and we understood the commands and techniques being taught.
Since working with Marty, Milo has been following commands much more consistently, and we’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in his behavior. It’s clear that Marty genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and wants both the pets and their owners to succeed.
We’re very grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and professional dog trainer. Thank you, Marty.

I really like the report cards. we love the pictures. We appreciate the honesty of staff since we were concerned if obi required trazadone for the camp. We did use it at first, and gradually eliminated it. Obi was just too tired when he got home to keep taking 100mg. We reduced it to 50mg and then eliminated it entirely. Obi seems to do fine without it now."
