Dog Training for Yorktown Heights Families

Yorktown Heights owners reach us at our Valhalla facility. It is a 5,000 sq ft training space at 4 Broadway. We run one program, the Dream Dog Program. It fits puppies and adult dogs. It covers manners, obedience, leash work, and reactivity.

What the Dream Dog Program Includes

  • Day Train sessions with a professional trainer, one day each week
  • A private lesson for you at every pickup
  • Lifetime group class, included with the program
  • Our guarantee: we will meet our shared goals for training or do additional lessons or days of training as needed to get back on track

Getting to Valhalla from Yorktown Heights

Our facility at 4 Broadway, Valhalla is about 16 miles from Yorktown Heights. Without heavy traffic, the drive takes roughly 20 minutes.

Why Yorktown Heights Owners Call

Most calls start with a dog that pulls, jumps, or barks at the door. Some owners want help with a puppy before bad habits set in. Others have a dog that lunges at other dogs on walks. We look at your dog and your goals first. Then we tell you if our program is a fit.

Yorktown Heights owners have a fenced place to practice close to home. Sylvan Glen Park Preserve, off Grant Avenue, has a 1.3-acre fenced dog area with separate sections for small and large dogs.

What We Do Not Offer

We do not train at your home. We do not board dogs. Your dog trains with us by day and sleeps at home. That keeps you part of the process, which is what makes results last.

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.”
