    Sit Means Sit Dog Training Detroit - Trainer Tracy and Dovie on a lead

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training Detroit

    I got my dog trained here a long time ago cause I wanted him to get comfortable with being inside…read moreof the cage I spent over $2500 letting him go for multiple times and I have seen zero results and every time he even hears a cage rattle he starts running away, so I have no idea what happened while I was gone, but he is deathly terrified of any cage now. They encouraged me to just use a shock/vibrating collar if he was barking too much while in the cage.

    Do Not Trust This Facility -- They Lied, My Dog Got Sick, and They Showed No Accountability…read more I sent my dog here for confidence-building--and instead, she came home traumatized and physically ill. She contracted kennel cough during her first week, which was confirmed by my vet. When I notified the facility, they refused to inform other customers, and chose to keep operating as if nothing had happened. I have four dogs at home--now they're all sick, and I'm stuck with over $1,000 in vet bills. On top of that, the experience was deeply unprofessional: * They never provided any report card or update on my dog's first week. * At pickup, my dog was actively coughing, and staff were cold, dismissive, and rude--clearly trying to distance themselves from any accountability. * I had to get a lawyer involved just to cancel the remaining weeks and force a refund of the money I had paid. * Their business practices are shady--they use bait-and-switch tactics, pressuring you to sign fast, then changing terms. If you ask questions, they belittle you. This is not a safe or honest place. They may operate under a well-known franchise, but there is no integrity, no transparency, and no real care for your dog. Please don't make the same mistake--choose a local, reputable trainer who puts your dog first.

    Sniffer Station has been a life saver with a new puppy at home. We do not have a fenced in yard, so…read moreour rescued husky/Malamute mix was limited to only leashed walks which was absolutely not enough to combat her energy. Her only playmates at home are my two elderly, small dogs who do not have the patience for her. I found Sniffer Station after initially looking at some of the bigger companies in the area. While there are daycares closer to me, I was concerned by some of their policies and my dogs safety. One major benefit of Sniffer Station is that they do not allow collars to be worn during playtime (which I feel is a major safety risk and their jaws can get stuck on the collar). They also have staff inside the play yards as opposed to just watching a camera or standing outside. After an initial (free) evaluation she was cleared to start attending daycare. Being a rescue my puppy has been shy and anxious around people, but thanks to puppy playtime at Sniffer Station and now weekly daycare sessions she LOVES other dogs. She is her most confident when she pulls up to daycare. Through her interactions with the staff I can slowly see her start to build her confidence with humans as well. She actually goes up to them now looking for affection. My puppy has learned the safe and proper way to interact with both other dogs and humans. In addition, my husband and I have also learned so much about how to actually interact and train a puppy. When we rescued her I was adamant that she would go to both training and daycare so she could learn how to socialize (which I failed with my first 2 dogs). We started attending the free Puppy Playtime sessions on Saturdays as soon as she was old enough which was lead by Chris. He showed us how to introduce the puppies to one another and then the playtime began. Some behaviors I thought were a problem he assured us that it was just how puppies play and that they were ok. We learned a lot about dog body language during this time, which helped us at home with our other dogs as well. After a few months we signed up for the lowest level training class that they offer, and Chris helped us learn basic commands that were both helpful and necessary. We learned come, sit, lay down, stay, and how to hold their attention. Most importantly we learned "leave it" and "drop it" which is crucial when your dog likes to put everything in their mouth and they don't know what's dangerous. Chris taught us both verbal commands and hand signals. At the end of each lesson we were given printed instructions on what to work on at home. One thing that was not covered in our class that we were having trouble with at home was our puppy going crazy when we were getting her food ready for her. She would be barking nonstop and would not sit down and wait. We were able to add on short training lessons within her daycare sessions to address her specific issue. She was able to work one on one with Chris and get the help she (and we needed). Most recently we have signed up for their agility class. Chris leads all the dogs (and parents) through a large outdoor yard course complete with sway bridges, tunnels, teeter totters, jumps, and more. Honestly I didn't think my dog would be able to do any of them but she has surprised me. Is she going to be an athlete? Absolutely not, but she is having fun in a safe environment. Another benefit is their boarding services which I utilize every time I go out of town because I do not have family or friends that can babysit such a large dog. The scheduling and drop off process for boarding is simple, and I am happy that I can always add a kennel bath before pickup. Finally, what I really love about Sniffer as a dog parent is all of the activities that they offer throughout the year. Food Fridays, beauty pageant photo shoots, Mother's Day crafts, etc. I don't have human children so I am always willing to pay for a printed photo of my dog child! The staff really goes above and beyond not just ensuring safety but also offering enrichment and a personal connection. When we walk in the door my dog is immediately greeted by name, and she immediately goes to the door to get the fun times started. I trust her reaction more than anything, and again the only thing she displays when we pull up is confidence and excitement. My favorite part is when she paws at the outside door if I am not opening it fast enough for her to get in. Heather at the front desk as well as Alex and Ashley in the yard are always so sweet and helpful, but everyone we have encountered has been great. When I bring my now 1.5 year old dog home she is immediately passed out for the night and sometimes through the next day. That alone would keep me coming back, but it's the training, the dedication, the fun, and the safety that Sniffer Station offers that makes them our go-to daycare and boarding facility.

    The staff really goes up and beyond. They engage with your pets which makes it fun for them and the…read morehandling is good for the dogs. My pup is so excited to see everyone there and the staff is always cheerful to talk to and start the day.
