How Sit Now Stay Training Works

Training begins with a thorough evaluation that looks at your dog’s behavior, temperament, history, and daily environment. We take the time to understand your goals, routines, and challenges so recommendations are practical and realistic for your life. From there, we design a clear training path that may include day training, boarding school, private lessons, or structured group work based on what will create the most meaningful progress.


Every program follows a proven progression that develops engagement, clear communication, leash skills, and dependable real-world behavior. Owners are coached throughout the process so skills transfer smoothly into everyday routines. You always understand what your dog is learning, why each skill matters, and how to maintain progress long after training sessions end.

Real-Life Behavior Issues We Help Correct

Many families come to us feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain behaviors keep showing up despite their best efforts. These challenges often affect daily routines, confidence, and enjoyment of life with your dog. Our training focuses on understanding why behaviors happen and creating clear, structured solutions that fit real households and lifestyles.

  • Pulling on leash and stressful walks
  • Jumping on guests and poor greeting manners
  • Puppy biting, chewing, and potty accidents
  • Lack of focus or unreliable listening
  • Overexcitement or difficulty settling at home
  • Confidence issues around people, dogs, or new environments

Our approach targets the root causes behind these behaviors through clear communication, structure, and consistent practice. By teaching both dogs and owners how to respond differently, improvements become reliable, predictable, and easier to maintain long after training is complete.
