Therapy dog training is an important facet of School Therapy Dog Programs.
These programs utilize specially trained dogs to help improve the emotional and mental well-being of students. Whether it’s reducing a student’s anxiety or providing comfort during difficult times, therapy dogs can be incredibly impactful in a school setting.
While traditional in-person training options exist, the rise of online therapy puppy training programs has made it easier for individuals to become involved with therapy dog training at their own pace.
Whether in-person or online, the benefits of a therapy dog training program are immeasurable.

Canine Fitness and Hydrotherapy is being prescribed by more and more veterinarians across North America. It has proven to speed recovery, prevent future injury, and decrease the time a pet is on post-operative pain medication.
We at Sit Now Stay are emphasizing the importance of water therapy with working dogs, sporting dogs, senior dogs, overweight dogs, and any dog recovering from orthopedic surgery or soft tissue injury. Studies have proven that hydrotherapy is an important tool in recovery. It is gentle on the joints and allows a smooth and natural motion for pets in recovery.
Canine obesity is at an all time high. Water therapy and swimming can aid in weight loss allowing for a steady loss of fat and safe gain in muscle. Exercise is just as important for our pets as it is for us!
We can help senior dogs, adult dogs, and puppies. We take every step to ensure our patients have a safe and fun experience during their hydrotherapy.
Dock diving is the perfect sport for water-loving canines. It is both fun and rewarding for your pup and yourself. We offer dock diving lessons for beginners, as well as dogs who want to get the cutting edge in competition. During your lessons you will be paired with one of our Certified Dock Diving Coaches.
Schedule a dock diving lesson when you are ready to advance your dog off the dock; For beginners all the way up to competitors. This is a one on one coaching session with Brianne Durham, a three time World Champion handler and inductee into the DockDogs Hall of Fame.
For the thrill-seekers out there, dock diving is a great way to get your pup’s adrenaline pumping. From Corgis to Great Danes and all breeds in between, any pup six months of age or older can sign up to “compete” in this exciting sport. With the right training and a bit of practice, your pup can learn to leap from the dock and fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced competitor, dock diving is a great way to bond with your pup while having fun and getting some exercise. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get diving!
Starting with a basic obedience class is a great way to get your pup prepped for the sport, teaching them the skills needed to perform well on the dock. From sit and stay commands to retrieving, having some formal dog training under your belt will vastly improve your pup’s performance. Plus, before you get started, always make sure to consult your veterinarian to ensure your pup is fit for the exercise.
Whether you’re looking to enter dock diving competitions, or just wanting to have some fun in the pool with your pup, Sit Now Stay Dog Training will get you dock diving in no time!
DockDogs is a world premier canine aquatics competition. Competitions include long jump, high jump, speed retrieve, and the Iron Dog Challenge (a combination of all three competitions). Brianne Durham and Heist were entered into the DockDogs Hall of Fame in November of 2017.
Officially launched in the United States in 2000, DockDogs competition consists of dogs using a 40 foot dock to jump into a pool of water. Dogs of any size, shape, age and breed compete in three events: Big Air (long jump), Extreme Vertical (high jump), and Speed Retrieve.
The fun, relaxed atmosphere and the teamwork between handler and dog have made DockDogs the fastest growing canine sport! The events also help raise money for canine cancer studies!

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!
