The team at Sit Happens is like a well-oiled machine, seamlessly working together to ensure they meet the training needs of each dog and owner. Beginning with the initial phone call from Carol, you can already tell she is incredibly passionate about dog training. This passion is reflected in her staff as well.

They are very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions or concerns you may have about starting a new training program with your pup. The trainers make it their goal to educate pet owners on why we train our dogs, how to train our dogs, and how to maintain training once it has begun. If you have a busy schedule, the trainers will come to your home during times that are convenient for you. The rates are reasonable, and the staff will work with you to design a training plan that works best for you and your dog’s needs. They also offer discounts if you commit to multiple sessions!
