About Sit Means Sit Dog Training – Portland

Training for the Portland metro

Sit Means Sit Portland is a dog training team based in Tigard that says it has served the Portland metro area since 2011. Its pitch is simple: any dog, any age, any problem, and every new client starts with a free consultation.

Programs

The board-and-train is an immersive stay where a dog works on obedience skills, impulse control and confidence, finishing with a transfer lesson so the owner can carry the new skills home, plus ongoing support. Day Train blends that immersion with the flexibility of private lessons: drop the dog off in the morning, pick it up in the evening, with a private lesson once a week. Group classes practice attention around other dogs and owners with drills, tricks, a taste of agility and obedience work, and puppy training focuses on structure, boundaries and social skills.

What owners say

One client wrote that her puppy is "calmer, more focused, and so much more enjoyable to be around," and praised the detailed session notes and easy-to-follow homework plans. Another said her reactive dog made more progress with day training than she could have managed alone.
