About Our Puppy Training Dog Training

Puppy Training

The first 20 weeks of your puppy’s life are crucial for establishing strong obedience and social skills. We offer three different puppy training programs based on the age and needs of your pup. Our Puppy Kindergarten program is designed for dogs 8-15 weeks old and lays the foundation for puppies to learn basic obedience skills while overcoming fears and anxiety.

We also offer Puppy Prime and Puppy Jumpstart programs for dogs 14-24 weeks old to help transition your puppy to a higher level of training after Puppy Kindergarten.

The Focus of Puppy Kindergarten:

  • Housebreaking
  • Kennel training
  • Leash walking
  • Socialization
  • Basic Commands

Vaccination Requirements:

  • 9-12 weeks: Distemper/Parvo combo
  • 12 -16 weeks: Distemper/Parvo combo, Bordetella
  • Over 16 weeks: Distemper/Parvo combo, Bordetella, Rabies

Recommended: Canine Influenza H3N2 & H3N8 and Leptospirosis are recommended but not required. Speak with your local veterinarian for further information and recommendations.

Our puppy trainers make this FUN and educational for puppies and their owners! So, what are you waiting for? Start your pup off on the right paw by contacting us today for your free consultation!

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 Raleigh. 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!
