About OurSocializationDog Training

Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog. The best time to socialize is between 10-16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue dogs enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put stress on both the dog and the owner.

Below are signs that your dog may need extra socialization:

  • Fearful around people or other animals
  • Nervous when out on walks
  • Shy or overly excited around people or other dogs
  • Aggressive towards other dogs
  • Tail tucked between the legs

A dog with improper socialization runs the risk of becoming fearful or aggressive. Contact us today to see how we can help!

We enrolled our German Shepherd pup, Lucca , in Sit Means Sit’s board and train program, and it was nothing short of amazing. Lucca has transformed into a better-behaved and more obedient dog, bringing a newfound peace to our home.

The entire staff at Sit Means Sit was incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the process, making us feel confident that Lucca was in good hands. Every penny spent on this program was worth it and more. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

Working with Sapna was an absolute pleasure, and her expertise made all the difference. We are eagerly looking forward to continuing Lucca’s training through group lessons. Sit Means Sit has exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch dog training services.

We are so pleased with our experience and results with Sit Means Sit in Morrisville. It is very obvious that Nadyah LOVES her job and the dogs she trains (as does the entire staff). Our dog, Zoey, loves them too, and gets so excited when she goes to group classes! Thanks to the training she received with SMS we now can play with Zoey off-leash in the yard. Walks are an enjoyable experience for both of us. SMS helped us and Zoey have a greater bond and trust!
