Our Method
Training your dog with paw-sitivity.
Positive training teaches dogs using rewards like treats, play, or praise to build skills, modify behaviors, and address anxiety or aggression. It’s based on science, compassion, and patience.
Dogs aren’t wolves, so we guide them with care, not dominance. At Sit Down & Beyond, we focus on humane, positive methods—no pain, no intimidation, no fear.
Services
At Sit Down & Beyond, we offer a range of professional dog training and enrichment services designed to meet the unique needs of every dog and their owner.
