About Our Day Train Dog Training

Day Train

Day Train Program – A Hybrid Approach to Training

Looking for the perfect balance between private lessons and full board-and-train? Our Day Train Program offers a structured training experience without requiring overnight stays.

With this program, your dog trains one day per week for either 3 or 5 weeks, receiving focused, professional training throughout the day. You’ll drop them off in the morning (8:00-10:00 AM) and pick them up in the evening (4:00-7:00 PM) with a private lesson at pickup to ensure you’re equipped to reinforce their progress at home.

How It Works

  • Drop-Off: Between 8:00-10:00 AM
  • Full Day of Professional Training
  • Pickup & Private Lesson: Between 4:00-7:00 PM
  • Repeat Weekly for 3 or 5 Weeks

This structured approach allows your dog to advance through training step by step, building skills and confidence each week while still returning home at night. Your private lessons ensure you stay actively involved in the process, making it easy to maintain consistency and reinforce training at home.

Program Benefits

Personalized Professional Training – Your dog gets hands-on instruction from our expert trainers.
Consistent Owner Involvement – Private lessons at pickup provide real-time coaching for you.
Gradual Skill Development – Training builds week over week, helping your dog improve focus and response to distractions.
Group Class Membership Included – Additional practice and socialization opportunities.

This program is ideal for owners looking for a structured training jumpstart without committing to overnight boarding.

We adopted a doodle and almost couldn’t keep him—the experts at Sit Means Sit worked with us and with him to train ALL of us. Still high spirited, he now is a “good boy” and is an integral part of our family—don’t know what we’d do without him! The trainers are so skilled, professional and so patient—it made all the difference for our family! After the week of training, we used the group sessions for several months—excellent reinforcement.

Our sweet Sage is almost 4 years old and Sit Means Sit has changed her life- and ours too! Sage has a lot of anxiety, which has significantly impacted her health in the past. She excelled at the Sit Means Sit Board and Train for two weeks. We even had a home visit with Colby which was amazingly helpful! Since the training, our family can effectively communicate with Sage, which lessens her anxiety. She is happier and calmer than ever before. We can now bring Sage for walks that are enjoyable for her & us. She rides in the car like a champ, and kindly welcomes people into our home. This training has been a game changer for all of us! Thank you Colby, Drew & Kaitlyn (and all the staff and trainers)!!
