About Sit Means Sit Dog Training Licking Valley
Attention-based, e-collar-driven training
This Sit Means Sit location serving the Newark / New Albany-Zanesville area is owned by Rick and Erica Foster, with staff member Kayla Beckett. As with the wider franchise, training centers on an "attention-based dog training system" that uses remote electronic training collars as one of several tools. The site frames the collar as an adjustable "tap" to gain attention, comparing it to "tapping a person on the shoulder," and notes the business "uses a variety of training methods and training aids."
Programs from quick classes to board-and-train
The service menu covers a range of intensities: a 3-week "Fast and Furriest" day-training program (one day per week), puppy training classes, group classes, and a 5- or 10-day "Boots' Camp" board-and-train with boarding included. A free consultation and demonstration is offered up front. The owners cite "over 15 years of combined experience," and the business operates as part of the Sit Means Sit franchise ("now with 157 franchise locations"). No individual certifications are listed. This is a clear fit for owners who specifically want balanced, e-collar-based off-leash training and value the consistency of an established national brand.

What really stood out to me was their patience—not just with Blaze, but with me as his owner. They helped me work through my own nerves about stepping into a more confident leadership role with him. I’ve always let Blaze do his own thing, so learning how to properly guide him was a big adjustment. They made that transition feel comfortable and achievable.
They truly listened to all of our concerns and addressed each one immediately and professionally. At no point did I feel judged—only supported and encouraged. The entire experience was positive, educational, and empowering.
If you’re on the fence or feeling nervous like I was, don’t be. This team is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cares about both you and your dog’s success. Highly recommend!
Thanks to their personalized approach, my dog’s obedience and responsiveness have improved significantly. In fact, we had a second dog trained with them just weeks later. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit for anyone looking to train their dog, especially those with unique situations like a deaf dog. Their expertise truly transformed our training experience!
