Sit Means Sit Dog Training - Portland

Bear’s family reached out to us when he was just a little pup, eager to set him up for a life full of adventures—biking, hiking, skiing, and exploring in their Sprinter van. Now, he’s at school learning all his big boy skills to make those dreams a reality. We’re so excited to watch him grow into the perfect adventure buddy. Go Bear, go!! 🐶✨

Whether your puppy is big, small, or anywhere in between, training is a great way to make sure they grow up to be the best they can be! 😊🐾 This week was full of puppies and we had such a blast helping them learn all their basic commands. Great work, pups!! 🎉 Starring: ⭐️ Goose the Shih Tzu mix ⭐️ Bear the Shepherd/Mastiff mix ⭐️ Charlie the Lab ⭐️ Senna the Mini Australian Labradoodle

Augie the 4-month-old Welsh Terrier ROCKED his second week of training. As part of his Real World Board & Train, he braved many new adventures and found lots of great distractions to practice around at the park, on the trail, and at the home improvement store. Way to go, Augie!! 🤗🌟

🚨 From Chaos to Calm: Havoc’s Training Transformation 🚨 Havoc is the best boy — loyal, smart and friendly — but his leash reactivity made walks a daily struggle. He’d bark at every dog he saw, pulling so hard that he once dragged his owner across an icy sidewalk. With a growing family on the horizon, something had to change! Through his Jump Start Board & Train with Sit Means Sit, Havoc learned that he doesn’t have to react to every dog he sees — he can focus on his commands instead! Now, he’s on his way to stress-free walks and new adventures with his family! 🐾 If your dog barks at other dogs on walks, let us help!

Bailey the adorable Yorkie is 4 months old! Her family is dedicated to giving her the best possible start in life, so she can join them at the office, behave at baseball games, and travel by plane.

FUN FACT - Today is World Compliment Day, which means it’s the perfect excuse to remind your pup that they’re a good boy/girl 💖 🐾 One of the most important things with training is figuring out what motivates your dog and gets them EXCITED to do what you’re asking them to do! This helps keep training fun and ensures that you’re rewarding good behaviors in a way that makes sense to your pup and strengthens your relationship with them. For some, it’s treats, toys, or play, and for others it’s praise! So don’t forget to give your dog some extra love today, from all of us here at Sit Means Sit Portland 🤗 #WorldComplimentDay #Dogs #DogTraining #SitMeansSit #SitMeansSitPDX #Oregon #SitMeansSitPortland #HappyDog #SaturdayVibes

Puppies are so much fun, but they’re also a LOT of work! (Which is why we’re here to help 🤗) As puppies, or puppies at heart, all these cuties needed help with their own goals - whether that be confidence-building, curbing naughty behaviors, or practicing their impulse control skills. Check out some highlights from this week! 🐾 Starring: ⭐️ Nova the 5-month-old Retriever ⭐️ Quincy the 1-year-old Labradoodle ⭐️ Ivy the 4-month-old Shepherd/Cattle Dog ⭐️ Oakley the 5-month-old Pit Bull ⭐️ Vinnie the 4-month-old Portuguese Water Dog

Blu is ready for a well-deserved nap after his exciting adventure to the park this afternoon! 🐾 At 4 months old, this sweet guy is still learning all kinds of new things about the world, but he’s doing a great job building his attention skills and impulse control in the Real World Board & Train program. He ran into SO MANY distractions on the trail and really wanted to say hi to everybody, but we’re so proud of him for holding his commands and sticking with the trainer instead. Way to go, Blu!! 🥳🎉
