Bridgette Mavec2024-02-08Our dogs Kelce and Dixie love their training and Muscle Mutts. I would highly recommend.John B2024-01-07Sit Now Stay has been a lifesaver! Our dog benji has struggled for boarding and play at other places due to inexperienced staff and overwhelming rooms packed with dogs; The knowledgable trainers and calm demeaner at Sit Now Stay completely diffuses our concerns and gives us peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. We absolutely love trainer Kat and are continually impressed at how much better benji is after spending time with her and the other trainers.Olivia Wiley2023-12-10My boyfriend and I have struggled with our dog Vida’s reactivity for a couple years now. We have been blown away by the progress made since working with the trainers at Sit Now Stay. I love the way the group works as a team to figure out what would work best for each individual dog. We talked through a couple of different training routes based on their recommendations and ended up starting private lessons. Working with Sara has been nothing short of amazing. Not only do I see improvement in my dog, but also in myself as a handler, and Sara has equipped me with the skills to be more confident and in control of Vida. She is great at explaining what to do but also why we’re doing it which helps us a lot. My relationship with my dog has improved so much, and I always look forward to our next lesson with Sara and practicing at home. We have also had Vida do a day of Muscle Mutts with them and plan to do more in the future. Every trainer we’ve spoken with has been wonderful and are all clearly very qualified and exceptional at what they do. I would highly recommend for anyone struggling with a reactive dog to give Sit Now Stay a call. We are so happy we did!Praha Drums2023-12-07Potato Chip loves it here, been coming here for years, super friendly and helpful staff, great facility, very reasonable prices, 10/10 would highly recommendRon Frierdich2023-11-24friendly staff and good with dogsShelby Kuzcharski2023-11-17I'm super happy with the things I have learned about dock diving! I had originally done this many years ago with cattle dogs and they tend to be naturals without needing a ton of help. When I got my Rat Terrier and Beauceron, they were good swimmers but needed guidance on actually jumping off the dock. Our Beauceron got his first dock junior this weekend and our Rat Terrier is almost there! Big thanks to Sara for being helpful and answering questions when I have them! :) Thanks again!Barb Kopack Hill2023-11-04Our new puppy just finished Puppy Preschool. Our trainer Kat was amazing. She came to our home and helped us to learn how to work with our puppy in his environment. She listened to us and what we are hoping to accomplish with our newest family member. She explained the purpose of particular trading techniques. She demonstrated each technique and coached us as we tried to replicate the same technique. Finally Kat gave us “homework” to practice between sessions. We had such fun with the homework! We are over the moon with the progress our puppy has made and look forward to enrolling in the Graduate classes.Andrea M Franklin2023-10-24I initially brought my cattle dog in for the 5 day board and train to help build his confidence and decrease anxiety. The consultation went smoothly and the assured me they were knowledgeable in herding dogs and the trainers gained my full trust. Brooks and I also participated in follow up classes and he attends the Muscle Mutts on days I can’t be home with him. He is always more than excited to attend and I enjoy receiving report cards telling me about his day. I can definitely say our relationship as an owner/dog has improved tremendously and I highly recommend their services!
