About Our High-Distraction Dog Training

Does your dog take off the moment they spot a squirrel, another dog, or a person across the street? You’re not alone, and unfortunately, distractions like these are a part of everyday life.

Our experienced trainers use proven techniques to gradually expose your dog to real-world triggers in a controlled way, teaching them how to stay calm, responsive, and under control even in the most tempting or chaotic situations. We focus on:

  • Redirecting your dog’s attention back to you during distractions
  • Building impulse control around triggers like animals, people, and noise
  • Reinforcing calm, confident behavior in busy environments
  • Strengthening the bond between you and your dog through positive communication

With consistency, patience, and reinforcement, we’ll help turn impulsive reactions into reliable obedience. Whether you’re walking through a busy park or just trying to get from the house to the car without a chase, we’ll help you build the trust and control needed to keep your dog safe and focused by your side.

Alex and his staff were great to work with and went above and beyond when caring for and training our miniature Dachshund.

I enrolled my Great Dane, Malley, in the 2 week immersion program. She has been home now for 3 days and I am completely amazed how much this program has done for her. Prior to the immersion program, Malley was the “boss.” She listened very little and had become a bully to one of my other dogs. So bad, in fact, for nearly a month and a half prior to enrollment the two had to be kept in separate rooms of the house and were forced to take turns spending time with the entire family. She is doing amazingly well since returning home and has significantly responded to all the training methods in which this wonderful company teaches.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff within this facility. From my initial consultation with Alex, to the professionalism of Amy, and the outstanding training from Nancy, Sit Means Sit deserves more than just the 5 stars I’m allowed to rate them. Thank you to everyone for the great care and training you’ve provided to my 4 legged kid!!! I’m eternally grateful and look forward to utilizing this establishment for Malley’s on going education as well as some training for a couple others in my pack!!!
