About Sit Means Sit Dog Training Southern Maine

What they offer

Sit Means Sit Dog Training Southern Maine is the Windham-based territory of a national dog training franchise. It describes itself as a local expert for basic obedience, off-leash control, anxiety and aggression, and offers a free evaluation and demonstration before building a training plan.

Programs

Puppy management is taught through private lessons in the owner's home during a puppy's first months, covering potty and crate training, leash introduction, chewing and biting, confidence building, socialization and obedience. Day training works like a school day: trainers work on the owner's goals during the day and hand the skills back to the owner at pick-up. In board and train, the dog stays with the trainers while it learns and socializes, and the program ends with lessons for the owner. Private lessons are tailored to the dog's temperament and can be held at home or in public places.

Method

The franchise uses an attention-based system with a variety of tools, including its own remote training collar used as a cue.
