About Our Advanced Puppy Program Dog Training

Many of our clients know they want more than just a basic puppy class. Puppy classes are an integral part of raising a well socialized dog, but they are just the first step in a lifetime of learning.

If you know you’d like to continue on past our puppy classes, we now offer an Advanced Puppy program which includes our AKC STAR puppy class plus private instruction and either a Day Train or Immersion program after the completion of puppy class.

Learn more about what is covered in the AKC STAR puppy program.

 

A Different Day Train for puppies

We space out the training for our puppy grads to provide for their younger minds and bodies. Gift your puppy one day a week to come and learn, continue their socialization, and work toward off leash obedience with remote collar training. You also have the added convenience of privates lessons when you need them (before, during, or after puppy classes and day training days), and an additional six months of advanced group class membership. We support you all throughout your puppy’s prime development period.

Because puppy class sets up a young dog for a more consistent training regimen, we offer special pricing for puppies who graduate our puppy class and move into advanced training soon after.

If you are interested in signing up for both puppy class and advanced training, call or text our office for more information on pricing and availability.

Sit Means Sit has been such a great experience! We have 2 mini dachshunds that have big personalities. They were terrible on leashed walks and barked at everything and any little noise. Since our training, we have seen such an improvement in both of their leash skills and the barking is so much more under control. They have gained new skills and now we can enjoy our time spent on walks and out in public. They aren’t perfect yet, but with our continued group classes we know they soon will be!

I’ve been a customer for over five years, and I can’t say enough great things about Sit Means Sit. In 2025, I had to take a break from group classes due to a very busy work schedule. By January, it was clear how much we had missed it—my German Shepherd had started to slack off. She was less attentive to commands, began interpreting them her own way, and even picked up a few new habits I hadn’t seen before.

Signing back up was the best decision! The difference has been incredible. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit, and especially Nick, Natalie, Meghan, and Ashley. They don’t just train the dogs—they truly train the owners too. I’ve learned so much, and it has made all the difference.

My dog is off-leash often now, and I know that’s thanks to their dedication and expert training. Thank you all! And needless to say, I don’t think we’ll be taking another break anytime soon.
