About Where Sit Happens Dog Training and Enrichment

Training for both ends of the leash

Where Sit Happens is a dog training center at 340 Center Rock Green in Oxford's Quarry Walk. Its mission is to teach dogs and their people to communicate clearly, connect deeply, and thrive together, and it describes its methods as ethical, effective and science-based, with every plan customized to the owner's goals.

Classes and services

Group classes run on a membership model, so teams train at their own pace instead of waiting for the next course to start. The schedule has over 20 different classes, including Puppy Pre-K, Basic Manners Levels 1-5 (with Canine Good Citizen skills from Level 4), Loose Leash and Recall, Dog Walking Club, Impulse Control, Scent Work Games, Rally Obedience, Cooperative Care, Therapy Dog Prep and Reactive Relief. Memberships are $225 per 4 weeks for a 4 Class Pass, $299 for unlimited group classes and $399 for Unlimited PLUS with one-on-one instruction. There is also a drop-off Day School and private training at the facility or in your home.
