About Sit Like Me

<h2>Balanced training folded into everyday life</h2>

<p>Sit Like Me works across the Chicagoland area under the motto "Always. Be. Training." The site explains the idea literally: "No matter where you are or what you are doing, you can always be training with your dog! Use your surroundings, think outside the box, make walks fun, take advantage of dog friendly places." The stated aim is "building a strong bond between owners and dogs — but that doesn't have to be a chore, make it fun," by "incorporating our effective techniques into everyday tasks."</p>

<h3>Programs</h3>

<p>Three programs are named as the core of the business. <strong>Board + Train</strong> brings the dog to the trainer's home "to stay with them for weeks of training. Focusing on leash manners, general obedience, socializing, and/or early development skills." <strong>Boarding</strong> is offered on a returning-client basis — "We will board any dog we have previously trained. Keeping their training consistence even while you're away." <strong>Private lessons</strong> are "1-on-1 training in your home with the trainer," with each plan "specially designed for you and your dog to help reach your goals as a team." Regular Chicago <strong>pack walks</strong> are hosted as "the perfect way to continue your dog's training in a safe and collaborative group setting."</p>

<h3>Method in their own words</h3>

<p>The approach is described as balanced training aimed at a solid foundation: "Learning to properly communicate with your dog through balanced training and applying that to every day situations. Teaching not only the dog but the owner as well." The site summarizes its principle as "Relationships are built on foundation, communication, and consistency. The same goes for you and your dog."</p>

<h3>Background</h3>

<p>The about page names Angela Kelley as the owner and lead trainer. It says she rescued her first dog after being "the ultimate dog sitter for friends and family," then joined a dog training company "to gain knowledge, handler experience, and enhance her overall dog trainer skills," learning from other professional trainers.</p>
