Puppy Training Classes
Set your puppy up for success with Sit Means Sit!
The first 16 weeks of your puppy’s life are critical for establishing structure, rules, boundaries, and social skills that will last a lifetime. By teaching your pup proper behavior early on, you’ll avoid the need to undo bad habits later. These formative months are key to shaping a confident, well-behaved dog, rather than one that is fearful or disobedient. We’re here to ensure your puppy gets off to the best possible start, setting them on the path to a happy, healthy life.
Without training, can puppies struggle to understand expectations, leading to confusion and undesirable behaviors like chewing, biting, and accidents in the house. Acting on natural instincts, they don’t realize these actions are inappropriate—they only sense their pet parent’s frustration. Setting clear expectations from the start builds a strong foundation for your relationship and makes future communication easier.
This program establishes the groundwork for attention-based training, helping puppies conquer fears and learn fundamental skills. Our puppy trainers make learning both fun and educational for puppies and their owners! Give your puppy the training and confidence it deserves in a safe, supportive setting with Sit Means Sit! Here, they’ll learn:
