About OurSt. Charles, MODog Training

St. Charles is a city built for dogs and their people, from the cobblestone charm of South Main Street to the miles of paved trail along the Katy Trail and Frontier Park. Between weekend visits to the riverfront, off-leash play at Blanchette Park, and busy patio season in Historic St. Charles, local dogs are expected to keep their cool in crowds, on leash, and around new faces almost every day. At Sit Means Sit, we help St. Charles dog owners build that kind of reliable, real-world obedience through personalized dog training that goes beyond basic commands.

Our trainers get to know each dog’s personality and history so every program, whether for a new puppy or an older dog with a few bad habits, is built around what your dog actually needs to thrive in this community.

Reactive

A reactive dog overreacts to normal situations that other dogs would take in stride. They become overstimulated easily and may bark, lunge, and growl at something as simple as another dog or person walking on the other side of the street. Attention to training is extremely important, as reactivity can turn into aggression. The cause… Read More

Can’t say enough great things about Sit Means Sit!! Their entire team is so kind and knowledgable. We signed our pup up for five day trains and from the first lesson we were impressed. Our dog has always been a sweet and smart boy, he just lacked impulse control and energy management. It was hard to have guests come over because he would be too excited and jumpy. But now can have we guests come over and maintenance work done in our home without the concern of his door/greeting manners. Each day train lesson was tailored to our dogs needs which was super nice to be able to address new concerns along each training session. All in all, we love the team here at Sit Means Sit and can truly tell each of them love what they do and the dogs they train!

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to take Theo after he lost his brother and sister last year. We called multiple places and were not impressed. We were then referred to Sit Means Sit by friends.

Not only has Chase and his amazing team helped to build Theo’s confidence but ours as well. We started with a couple of one on one training sessions then moved on to group classes. We look forward to it every single week!

It took some time but we are now able to take our sweet boy out in public and not worry whether we are going to have an issue around other people or dogs. Due to a direct result of all of this we have seen Theo become not only a well mannered dog but happy as well!

Thank you Chase, Catherine, Deborah, Addison, and Cheyenne!!
