Dog Training in Mount Pleasant, NY

Sit Means Sit Dog Training of Westchester is based right in the Town of Mount Pleasant — Valhalla is one of its hamlets — which makes Mount Pleasant the easiest town in Westchester to train with us. Whether you live in Valhalla, Hawthorne, Thornwood, near the Kensico Reservoir, or along the Pleasantville border, our certified trainers give you a structured plan and the in-person coaching to follow through on it.

When Mount Pleasant Owners Usually Reach Out

Most families that find us are tired of being embarrassed by barking, jumping, lunging, or pulling. They've tried YouTube videos and group classes, sometimes more than once, and the dog is still out of control. They're worried the behavior is getting worse with age, not better — and they want a calmer dog at home and a reliable one in public, especially on walks around Hawthorne, Thornwood, and the Kensico trails.

Can you help with leash pulling around Kensico Reservoir, Hawthorne, and Thornwood?+

Yes. Loose-leash walking is one of the most common reasons Mount Pleasant families call us — between the Kensico Reservoir trails, the busy Hawthorne and Thornwood retail areas along Route 9A and Broadway, and the streets near Westchester Community College, your dog needs to walk reliably without dragging you. We build that skill in real-world environments.

What dog owners say about Sit Means Sit

“Imagine my surprise when she responded to "come" and "sit" after her first session. Today, she graduated and is truly a dream dog.”
Cherish S.Google review
“Before Sit Means Sit, our chocolate lab was jumping at every bird that flew near her, trying to play with every dog we walked past in the city, pulling us on the leash … being able to take a walk in the city with a constant loose leash feels amazing.”
Andrew R.Google review
“My 75 pound mut suffers from severe anxiety and is frightened by cars, bikes and most people. … Immediately, our dog who is typically terrified of new people, loved all of the trainers … It has been well worth our 1 hour+ drive every week!”
Anthony P.Google review
“When I first spoke with Neil, I asked him if he really thought I would see a difference in 8 weeks, and he told me I'd see a difference after one day of training. And he wasn't wrong. … several neighbors have commented on how well-behaved Levi is.”
