    Don’t want to leave your pup with us overnight but still want the benefits of professional training? Our Day Train program might be a perfect fit! Day Train consists of 3 weekly training sessions. Your dog gets dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening after their training session. After each session you will meet with a trainer and go over what was covered that day. Our trainer will assign homework and tell you what needs to be practiced before their next session. Once your pup has completed Day Train, they can participate in our Group Classes!

Thanks to Liz, Ava and Gemini for all the training of Ruger. I will work hard with Ruger and plan on great success with him. I am looking forward to the group classes to help me and Ruger contain his excitement towards other people and animals.

Sit Means Sit Dog Training - Philadelphia is absolutely phenomenal! We currently have our latest addition to our family enrolled after such a great experience with our first dog. The trainers and staff are incredibly patient, disciplined, informative, and a pleasure to work with! Gianna helped guide us through 3 puppy sessions with our Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever to help him build confidence and prepare for private sessions. After that, Liz was awesome as she worked with Rutledge for 3 private, full-day sessions. She was extremely patient in working with a 4-month old puppy - helping him acclimate to the collar, understand commands and responses, and act promptly. Additionally, Liz was great to work with after the full-day lessons in helping us understand the focus of each week, tackling each challenge with specific techniques, and educating us on ways to handle various situations and environments. Thank you Gianna and Liz! We look forward to continue drilling all that we've learned and getting into group classes! Cannot recommend Sit Means Sit Dog Training - Philadelphia enough to dog owners (first-time, or experienced)!

Charged a cancel fee of $124.95. Was not made aware there was a contract cancellation fee. Contract was sent post meeting via email. Did not receive service or product. Cancelled immediately upon review of contract. Unprofessional business practices.

We had a great experience with SMS. Gianna worked with our 4 y/o GSD and she was excellent. The facility is clean, and they are very organized and responsive when changing or confirming appointments. Our GSD was trained as a puppy but we wanted to work on his leash pulling and fine tune his basic commands like sit, stay, and heal. SMS / Gianna did a wonderful job of working with him in a positive and patient manner. We saw a big difference in our dogs behavior thanks to Gianna. Gianna was also very patient with us when showing us what to expect of our dog and how to work with him appropriately. It’s our job to continue working with him daily and to reinforce the behaviors, we are appreciative of the lessons we learned on being a good handler. TY Gianna:)
