About Our Socialization Dog Training

Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog. The best time to socialize is between 10-16 weeks of age, but not all dogs get to experience socialization as a puppy. A lot of rescue dogs enter their new homes without proper socialization, which can put stress on both the dog and the owner.

Below are signs that your dog may need extra socialization:

  • Fearful around people or other animals
  • Nervous when out on walks
  • Shy or overly excited around people or other dogs
  • Aggressive towards other dogs
  • Tail tucked between the legs

A dog with improper socialization runs the risk of becoming fearful or aggressive. Contact us today to see how we can help!

We love Sit Means Sit STL! It is amazing to see the difference in our dog, Annie, after her classes with Chase. Chase is so awesome to work with. He is knowledgeable, listens to our concerns, explains the steps he will take and makes sure we are comfortable working with Annie before we leave for the day. Check out Sit Means Sit STL! You will be amazed what they can do with your dog. We are so glad we did!

I cannot possibly give Chase enough thanks and praise for what he has done for Riot. My boy was a working dog for five years and we were having trouble where he would get into fights with our other dog. That’s when we reached out to Chase to temper Riot and help Zephyr learn basic manners.

Chase has transformed both of our dogs dramatically. We don’t have fights on walks or in our house. The boys aren’t darting out of our door or jumping on guests. They actually listen!

I know Riot was not the easiest to mold but I truly appreciate everything Chase did to get him where he is today as I know it took a bit extra work.

We are so excited to start group classes with both boys. I cannot recommend Sit Means Sit St Louis or Chase enough. Whatever your dog needs, Chase can help you achieve it. He is worth every penny and more.
