what to expect with sit means sit

In our drop-off Day Training program, we address behavioral issues, teach new skills and provide essential socialization opportunities with other dogs. By the end of each day, your pup will understand cues that you can work on together on your own time!

At Sit Means Sit Charleston, we believe dogs learn best in an encouraging, positive environment. That’s why we offer:

Full Day IMMERSION Training

Day Care Training is our most popular option! Drop your pup off with us in the morning for a day full of learning and fun! We’ll work on building their confidence and creating a strong foundation for obedience. We have options for everyone including 1, 3, 5, & 8 week programs. Schedule a free evaluation today!

Private Dog Training Sessions

Beyond the Day Care Training days, you and your dog will also be able to utilize personalized private lessons up to once a week for anything that can’t be worked on in the group setting. Private lessons can help strengthen skills they’ve acquired in day care and also help to address specific behavioral issues.

1 Year of Group Training Classes

Show off your skills with 14 other like-minded dog owners in Group Class, which is designed to set you up for success with real-world scenarios. You’ll refine behaviors and ensure you can keep your dog’s focus on you at all times! We offer 1 year, 2 year and lifetime group class passes.

Sit Means Sit Training Method

Sit Means Sit, we are attention and focused-based trainers. We teach your dog that everything good in life comes from you. When your dog can learn to look to you first before acting on impulse, you can then set them up to make positive choices, setting them up for lifelong success. Our trainers will educate you more on our effective fun and balanced approach!

What Separates Us from Other Local Trainers

At Sit Means Sit Charleston, we’re all about teaching through “paw”-sitive reinforcement, consistent practice and customized training strategies. In Charleston, we’re the go-to experts for dog behavior modification because we bring:

  • Seasoned Expertise

    Our staff boasts decades of combined training experience, so when you work with Sit Means Sit, you’re partnering with some of Charleston’s most elite trainers who have worked with many dogs like yours.
  • Personalized Attention

    Your dog will receive quality care and attention they wouldn’t get elsewhere. We’ll take the time to get to know them, along with all their unique behaviors, quirks and needs.
  • Custom Training Plans

    No two dogs are alike, so their training plan shouldn’t be either. We assess each of our student’s strengths and areas of improvement, as well as their preferred way to learn, so time spent training with us is as effective as possible.
  • Balanced Approach

    Combining positive reinforcement with gentle corrective measures, we ensure that each session is both educational and enjoyable for your best friend.
  • Safe and Stimulating Space

    Your dog will learn commands and eliminate poor habits while having fun! We’ll teach them in a way that feels like they’re just playing a game.
  • Daily Report Cards & Briefings

    You’ll get a daily comprehensive update of the commands we practiced and any behaviors we noted during our day together. We’ll make sure you stay informed and involved throughout the process!

Our Hassle-Free Enrollment Process

No matter their age, breed, temperament or behavioral issues, we train all dogs—and that’s a fact! Getting started with us is easy:

1. Schedule Your Initial Consultation 

Give us a call at (843) 733-7386 or fill out our online form. A team member will contact you to schedule a free evaluation, where you and your dog will meet with a Sit Means Sit trainer and undergo an in-person assessment.

2. In-Person Assessment

During this initial assessment, we’ll observe your dog’s behaviors to get an understanding of their current skills and challenges. We’ll then create a custom training plan that’s perfectly suited to their needs. Whether your dog is new to training or already has experience, we’ll meet them at their current level!

3. Scheduling and Pricing Information

Once we create a custom plan for your canine companion, we’ll work with you to find training times that best fit your schedule. Plus, at Sit Means Sit Charleston, we pride ourselves on providing transparent, up-front pricing. Before you sign up, we’ll always walk you through the costs of your dog’s training program and answer any questions you may have!

“I just want to say that Sit Means Sit Dog Training is very loving, caring and professional in how they train and care for the dogs. I have seen many people seek professional help and when it comes to training your dog you can’t trust just anyone. They have been extremely supportive and helpful in answering any questions or concerns that we may have for our dog, as well as making sure that we have all the necessary resources to continue our training outside of class. Thank you guys for everything!!!”

“Everything has been so wonderful from the start here. So easy to set up, everyone is knowledgeable and so kind. You can tell they love your dog almost as much as you do. And it’s amazing to have a trained pup with plenty of reinforcement. So glad we decided to invest in our pup!”

“I wanted to give a shout out to Cara, Haven, and Cassie! Our dogs graduated last night from their program and this place works! They are so great with the dogs, making it a happy and healthy experience for them. I was blown away by the results. They also want your dogs to succeed so even after graduation we can go back for group classes at no extra charge!”
