Group class at Sit Means Sit Dog Training of Westchester is the third and final stage of the Dream Dog Program — not a standalone service. It brings you and your dog together in a structured, distraction-filled environment to practice obedience alongside other dogs and handlers. Group class is included for the lifetime of your dog with the Dream Dog Program.
Group Class: The Third Prong of the Dream Dog Program
Training Isn't Complete Until You Can Handle the Real World Together
At Sit Means Sit Dog Training of Westchester, we believe real training has three parts — and all three matter. First, we train your dog. Second, we train you. Third — and this is where it all comes together — we put you and your dog in the same environment, side by side, working through real-world distractions together. That's what group class is.
Group class isn't a standalone service you sign up for. It's the final, essential prong of our Dream Dog Program — included for life when you enroll in Day Train. It's where your dog learns to listen to you even when other dogs, people, and distractions are pulling at their attention. And it's where you gain the confidence to handle your dog anywhere.
Why This Stage Is Non-Negotiable
A dog that performs perfectly in a quiet one-on-one setting hasn't truly been trained yet — they've just learned the basics. The real test is whether they can hold a sit-stay while another dog walks by. Whether they come when called at a park, a street corner, or a crowded event. Group class is designed specifically to build that reliability under pressure.
- Practice known commands in a high-distraction environment
- Work alongside other dogs and handlers under trainer supervision
- Build your own handling skills with real-time coaching
- Bridge the gap between training sessions and everyday life
Yours for Life — At No Additional Charge
Once you complete Day Train, group classes are included for the lifetime of your dog. Because we know that maintaining great behavior is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. We want you coming back — and we want your dog continuing to thrive.
