At Sit Means Sit Dog Training, we believe that every dog deserves a chance to live a happy, well-behaved life, and every owner should have the tools to make that happen. Our training philosophy is rooted in the belief that clear communication and mutual respect between a dog and its owner are the foundations of a successful relationship. This is why we focus not only on training the dog but also on educating and empowering you as the owner.
We offer a customized approach to dog training because we know that no two dogs are the same. Whether you have a hyperactive puppy who can’t focus, a stubborn dog who refuses to obey commands, or a rescue dog with deep-rooted behavioral issues, we craft a plan that fits your dog’s unique needs and temperament. Our balanced training methods combine positive reinforcement with corrections to ensure your dog learns effectively and in a stress-free environment.
Our trainers are experts in dog behavior and have worked with hundreds of dogs across different breeds and temperaments. From basic obedience to advanced behavioral modification, our team has seen it all.

We stand by our programs. If your dog’s behavior doesn’t improve as promised, we’ll provide additional lessons at no cost.
Each dog is different, and so are their training needs. Our individualized programs ensure you and your dog succeed together.
Start your puppy off on the right paw! Our Puppy Training Program focuses on teaching basic commands, socialization, and proper house training habits. Designed for puppies aged 8 weeks to 6 months, this program lays the groundwork for a well-mannered adult dog.
Perfect for dogs of any age, our Obedience Training program addresses common behavioral issues like pulling, jumping, barking, and lack of focus. Through positive reinforcement and proven techniques, we’ll help your dog become well-mannered and obedient both at home and in public.
For dogs exhibiting aggression, anxiety, or other behavioral issues, our expert trainers use proven techniques to address and modify unwanted behaviors effectively.
In obedience training, we focus on transforming your dog’s overall behavior by addressing common issues like:
Strengthening responsiveness to commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come” ensures that your dog listens to you in a variety of situations. Ignoring commands is a common issue many owners face, often leading to frustration and behavioral problems. We focus on building consistency and reliability in your dog’s response to commands through repetition, positive reinforcement, and clear communication.
Helping your dog feel more comfortable and relaxed when left alone is crucial for their emotional well-being and your peace of mind. Dogs with separation anxiety often exhibit destructive behaviors, excessive barking, or panic when left by themselves. Our approach to reducing separation anxiety involves gradually building your dog’s confidence and independence through structured exercises and positive reinforcement.
Training your dog to greet people politely without jumping is key to creating a well-mannered pet. Jumping on guests or strangers is not only an annoying habit but can also be intimidating or even dangerous, especially with larger breeds. Our obedience training emphasizes teaching dogs how to stay grounded and calm during greetings, using positive reinforcement to encourage appropriate behavior.
Teaching your dog to walk calmly without tugging or dragging you is a critical aspect of obedience training. Many dogs struggle with leash manners, often pulling or lunging at distractions, making walks stressful for both the dog and the owner. Through structured exercises and consistent reinforcement, we focus on training your dog to maintain a relaxed and controlled pace by your side.
Our team at Sit Means Sit Westchester includes highly experienced trainers who have successfully addressed even the most challenging behavior problems.
