A happy couple with their dog after purchasing dog training in Jacksonville, FL

[…] When we first started training I thought we were doomed but both of our dogs behavior has changed so much and it is so much easier to walk them on a leash now and do basic activities with them thanks to Jorge!

Some recent reviews that really showcase what makes Sit Happens awesome.

We hired Sit Happens to help with our rescue dog’s anxiety and reactivity issues. Our trainer was patient, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand Bailey’s triggers. Within a few weeks, we saw a huge improvement. She’s now much calmer on walks and around other dogs. Highly recommend!“

Best decision we made for our puppy! The in-home training was so convenient and our trainer taught us just as much as he taught our dog. Max now has great leash manners and actually listens when we call him. Worth every penny.“

I was skeptical about private training at first, but the results speak for themselves. Our trainer helped us tackle jumping, counter-surfing, and basic obedience. What I appreciated most was how they involved our whole family in the process. Our dog is happier and so are we!“

We loved our experience with Sit Happens! They don’t just train your dog, but they train you as the owner on how to best connect and understand your dog’s behavior. Alex was great during the consult process and our pup, Piper, loved having Seanna train with her each week. The knowledge gained will continue to help us and our puppy thrive for years to come! Cannot recommend them enough!

I am very pleased with the training that Seanna provided to my dog Brennie! Brennie is a senior dog and had some limitations that Seanna understood and helped me to work around. I feel so much more confident when walking Brennie in the neighborhood and have even taken her to doggy daycare for extra socialization! She is doing great and I am very proud of her! Thank you Seanna and ‘Sit Happens’!

Very professional. Timely and thorough. We learned a lot with our two problematic dogs. Seanna Richard’s is very knowledgeable through and great with dogs. The program is best up to succeed. Highly recommend Seanna.

Sit happens dog training is awesome! Jorge is our trainer and he has been so patient and diligent every time. He always show up on time and makes sure we get the full session in. He’s open to any questions or needs we have. He’s always giving good recommendations. We have a golden retriever and an Australian shepherd puppy and if you know how crazy they are you understand!! Jorge has never failed to reiterate things for us, show us that we are doing a good job, and making us and our dogs feel comfortable. The pups love him! When we first started training I thought we were doomed but both of our dogs behavior has changed so much and it is so much easier to walk them on a leash now and do basic activities with them thanks to Jorge! We also are walking off leash and without me even having to hold the leashes in my hand, which is a dream come true because 8 weeks ago that would have never happened. We are forever grateful. I highly recommend him and sit happens for your dogs training needs!

Samuel and Riley were fantastic. They both made it look easy and my dog, Ripley, took to the training well. Seriously I jokingly (but not) stated they trained us humans (me, my husband and children) to be better dog owners! I highly recommend Sit Happens - you will be very pleased with the patience given and the results received.

Had the BEST experience with Sit Happens! Our trainer, Kendra, is AMAZING!! We always loved our pup - but she was such a challenge for us - and now we love our life with our pup! No question we will seek out Kendra again when we bring a new puppy home!

Just wrapped up our 7th lesson today, and our dog Rosé is truly a different dog! Kendra has been amazing from the very beginning, so patient, knowledgeable, and supportive! Just a few months ago, we couldn’t even walk Rosé without her pulling or jumping on everyone she saw. Having people over or taking her anywhere felt stressful.

Fast forward to now and we can take her to stores, to the park, or on a daily walk no matter the time of day or who’s around. I no longer have to wait for no one to be outside just to walk her, and I don’t have to stress about distractions. She’s also doing so much better when guests come over and settles much faster each time.

We’re so happy with how far she’s come and beyond thankful for the training and support Kendra has given us. Couldn’t recommend her enough! 😄🐾

We had a great experience with Sit Happens! Our trainer, Samuel, was exactly what we needed — firm yet patient with our stubborn bully breed. He struck the perfect balance between discipline and understanding, and we could tell he genuinely cared about helping our dog succeed.

Samuel also took the time to educate us as owners, explaining not just what to do but why it works. That made all the difference in keeping the training consistent at home. We’ve seen real progress in our dog’s behavior, and we feel much more confident as handlers.

Highly recommend Sit Happens and Samuel for anyone looking for effective, compassionate, and Knowledgeable training!

Kendra is great! Very helpful and knowledgeable. The training was definitely more for me in understanding how my dog responds and to better guide him. I felt like he would not listen at all and after even the first lesson with Kendra, my dog was responding and listening. I highly recommend Sit Happens, as well as Kendra!

We reached out to Sit Happens when we first got our boxer, Emmy, at just 12 weeks old. She was such a sweet puppy, and with the help of James, she’s grown into the most well-behaved dog. We constantly get compliments on how well she listens and behaves. Emmy goes everywhere with us. She can sit calmly and watch an entire youth baseball game, staying on “place” for six innings!

I highly recommend Sit Happens to anyone with a dog. Their training truly makes a difference!
