Obedience Training That Forms Good Behavior

Does your dog ignore basic commands like “sit” and “stay”?


We’ll send an experienced, certified dog trainer to your home to evaluate your puppy’s behavior and recommend a personalized training plan.

What To Expect From Obedience Training

Obedience training helps your dog learn the basic commands they need to get along in the world. Being able to “come,” “sit,” and “stay” on command makes life at home smoother and keeps your dog safe when you’re out and about.


Your dog will learn how to:


  • Sit by your side
  • Sit at a distance
  • Wait by the door
  • Come on command
  • Walk nicely with you
  • Stay put
  • Drop items in their mouth


At Sit Happens, we do things differently. That’s why we’ve been Jacksonville’s leading dog trainers since 2012, with over 10,000 happy, well-trained dogs to our name.


While standard training might teach your dog to follow commands, we go beyond that. Our approach is all about your dog’s overall wellbeing— helping them feel at ease in their surroundings and strengthening their bond with you.


And because you are your dog’s best friend, you’ll be a crucial part of their training. We’ll integrate you and your family into your dog’s lessons so you can build an unbreakable bond with your furry companion.


In addition to building essential obedience skills, we offer a variety of training programs to support your dog’s overall development. Whether your pup is just starting out with Puppy Training or needs help mastering Leash Training, our team is here to help. We also provide targeted support through Potty Training, Socialization Training, and Behavioral Training to address specific needs and challenges. At Sit Happens Dog Training, we’re committed to helping your dog become their best self—at home and beyond.
