About Sit Happens Dog Training First Coast LLC

In-home training in St. Augustine

Sit Happens Dog Training First Coast is a private, in-home dog training team in St. Augustine that says it has served the area since 2011. It specializes in obedience and behavior solutions for puppies and dogs of all ages, and describes its work as backed by canine cognitive science. The team looks for the root cause of a dog's behavior and builds a custom plan to help the dog feel calm and confident, with hands-on lessons and homework for the whole family. Trainers complete a 90-day certification course and 100 or more hours of continuing education each year.

How it works

A certified trainer visits the home to assess the dog, recommends a plan and demonstrates techniques with their own dog, then returns for each session. Services include dog training, puppy training, socialization, behavioral training, leash training, potty training and obedience, with help for separation anxiety, barking, destructive chewing, nipping, reactivity, aggression, leash pulling and rescue dog issues. Multiple dogs can train individually or together. Trainers are available daily from 9am to 7pm.

What owners say
