Complimentary Training Day
Before starting any training program, your dog begins with a Complimentary Training Day at Sit Now Stay. This full day introduces your dog to the facility and routines while we assess behavior, confidence, and learning style through structured activities and confidence-building exercises. You receive professional feedback and a clear recommendation for the training program that best fits your dog and your goals.
This day is especially important for puppies, sensitive or cautious dogs, and dogs with limited exposure to new environments. Dogs learn best when they feel safe and comfortable, and if one day is not enough time to acclimate, we may recommend additional time in our structured, fitness-based daycare program before training begins. The Complimentary Training Day is included at no additional cost as part of the enrollment process and helps ensure your dog enters training confident and ready to succeed.
Pricing
- Single Day: Offered at no cost
- See Day School pricing for additional acclimation if necessary
