Training Backed By Science & Trusted By Owners
Training your dog shouldn’t feel like an uphill battle. Dogs deserve an experience that’s welcoming, convenient and effective. Sit Means Sit Cleveland’s nationally recognized dog training programs are all of that and more.
We have years of combined experience helping dogs of all shapes and sizes overcome anxiety, reduce aggressive or reactive behaviors, and live happier, stress-free lives. Leveraging the latest attention-based training practices, we’ll teach your pup to approach new situations with confidence and appropriate curiosity, all while keeping the pet-owner relationship central to our learning goals. If you’re looking for a solution that will truly set your dog up for a lifetime of success, you’ve found it.
Professional Dog Behavior Training for Lasting Results
Whether you’re at Great Lakes Brewing, Edgewater Beach, Taps & Tails or any other of Cleveland’s dog-friendly locations, you want a well-behaved dog by your side. Sit Means Sit’s trained experts have successfully helped dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments build confidence, lead happier lives and overcome a variety of behavioral problems.
Aggressive Behavior
Aggression in dogs is often caused by fear, anxiety, territorial instincts and a lack of proper socialization. We’ll use proven behavior modification techniques and positive reinforcement to help your dog build confidence and control when confronted with potentially stressful or overwhelming situations.
Learn More »Separation Anxiety
An anxious dog might whine, pace, bark, have accidents or engage in destructive behaviors. Our goal is to help your dog develop a sense of confidence and security when left alone. Through structured training and plenty of TLC, we can help your dog grow their comfort zone and feel safe when left alone.
Learn More »Socialization
A dog that is properly socialized is often less likely to display anxiety and aggression. By gradually introducing your dog to new scenarios involving different people and animals, we can help them gain tools that can ensure they feel secure and confident in different situations.
Learn More »Off-Leash Training
When you let your dog off-leash, they should be able to obey your commands, respect boundaries and avoid potentially dangerous situations. We’ll use gentle corrective measures and attention-based techniques to help your dog stay focused on you when you give them the freedom to explore.
Learn More »House Training
House-training a dog can be a big help if you want to cut down on the number of unfortunate accidents that can “puddle up” when they don’t have a good routine in place. Our thorough housebreaking process will use positive reinforcement and consistency to help your dog learn structure and routines around going outside (and coming back in).
Reactive Behavior
Everyday situations like the mailman, the neighbor’s cat or a car passing by shouldn’t cause your dog to overreact. Through reactive behavior training, your dog can become desensitized to common triggers and learn to focus their energy and attention elsewhere.
