Expert dog trainers taking on the challenge of turning every dog into a confident, happy companion.

Personalized 1-on-1 for unique challenges.
Social, structured, and great for confidence.
The dog training world is full of people offering to fix behavioral problems, teach your dog to sit or walk on a leash, and maybe even ring a bell when they need to go outside. While those are all good things, they should be the standard, and those behaviors can’t last without a relationship to back it up.
We use obedience training with proven, science-backed methods to make good behavior the standard and go beyond basics. It’s about becoming exceptional. We offer effective dog training to Salt Lake City, Sandy, West Jordan, and surrounding Utah communities.
Bad behaviors such as chewing, barking, jumping, and even aggression and anxiety are woefully common. What that means is, we get it. You’re frustrated, and you might be worried that you’re running out of options. That’s where we come in. It does not matter what your dog’s breed, age, size, or problem is, we won’t turn you away.
The first step we take is a free in-home consultation so that our professional dog trainers can get to know you and your dog. This makes room for conversation about your goals, fears, and schedule. We even bring along a trained dog so that you can experience the kind of results you’re signing up for.
From puppies to adults, we make off-leash walking and good behavior the foundation for success, not the finish line. We’re ready to work with you to create happy, confident, and obedient dogs. We also put a Lifetime Training Guarantee on our work to show you just how committed we are to seeing you and your dog get the most out of your lives together. Any time you need support, we’re here for you.
Our flexible programs cover everything from basic obedience to advanced issues. Let’s design the perfect fit for your lifestyle and goals.
Our training sessions are about more than just technicalities. We want your dog’s life to be lived to the fullest, and we know for a fact that can only be done with proper training and proven techniques.
No two dogs are alike, which means we have to be willing to take our structured environment and customize it to each dog’s unique personality and goals, while keeping technicalities in mind. Thankfully, at Sit Means Sit Salt Lake City, we’re able to do this, and we want to do this because dogs are our lifelong passion.
When you choose us, you’re choosing a team that is designed specifically to attend to your every need and achieve reliable results.
At Sit Means Sit Salt Lake City, we believe the best training starts with compassion. We have built our programs around building trust and using consistency and clear communication to build lasting behavioral changes.
We’ve proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that our methods, though flexible in tools and techniques, create results that are attention-based, tailored to your dog, effective, positive, and safe. Let us use our years of experience and our passion for dogs to take you and your pups into a life of excellence.
SMS Salt Lake City was created with a clear purpose in mind. We are determined to help dogs and their families find an incredible life of freedom. Out-of-control behavior, whether at home, on vacation, or in your local park, makes life hard, and we know it.
We’re here to offer you a solution. Providing training in Salt Lake City gives us the chance to change lives with our customizable programs and professional dog trainers.

Our golden retriever had terrible behavior from the moment she was a puppy. She scratched, bit, barked, scratched, jumped, and couldn’t settle down to save her life. I spent hours training everyday, but as soon as she saw me with no treats, the bad behavior would start all over again. One day I was at…

Sophia, Charlie, and Bella Sit Means Sit has done wonders with my puppies. Sophia went from pulling my arm out when walking her to strolling next to me. Jon made a huge difference and made us a “happier couple”. Then there is my “little puppy” Charlie. She went from crazy puppy behavior to obedient puppy…

Katie (my 8 month old golden retriever) and I entered training right after Labor Day 2018. Katie was trained for 15 days, plus a couple of private lessons, a couple of group lessons, and a trip to our house in. Your staff did an excellent job training her and i appreciate all the time and effort they put forth. Katie did very well until we started traveling to California and other places. We both got off track a bit.
I would just like to thank you and your staff for scheduling Katie and I to have a tune-up session for 3 days. This will get us both back on track. I am very impressed with your staff. They are knowledgeable, competent, and very patient especially with me. I also realize that I have to do my part for the training process to be successful. Your program was highly recommended to me, and I can vouch for that and will recommend it to others.
Thanks again for your caring staff!
