CHRIS PENNELLA

Lead Trainer

Chris Pennella is the Lead Trainer at Sit Means Sit Dog Training of Westchester, where he works with dogs of all temperaments and behavioral backgrounds for families in Westchester County, Fairfield County, and nearby communities.

Chris first came to Sit Means Sit Dog Training as a client with his dog Perry, then continued that journey with Maple, and most recently Wylie. That firsthand experience gives him a strong understanding of what owners need from both the training process and the results.

He now leads training plans that range from basic obedience and better manners to more advanced behavior modification, helping owners build reliable communication they can use in everyday life.

“Chris at sit means sit was fabulous with our mini bernadoodle. … Our dog listens now and we have control which we didn’t before.”

“this program has made progress for my dog that several trainers over several years never could … Lexi, Chris, and the whole Sit Means Sit staff have been incredible”

Results vary by dog. Aggression is managed through training and ongoing owner work, not cured.
