TESTIMONALS
Owners love it.

I would highly recommend their boarding school program. We have a very large energetic Doberman who we got trained with Lianne and Bret when he was a puppy. Now at 90+ lbs he’s the perfect mannered furry family member. Both Lianne and Bret are very experienced with dog behaviour, and they saw the potential in our high drive puppy. We were at our wits end, and were contemplating on giving up, but they really helped us achieve something we almost thought was impossible.

Currently going through private lessons and our boxer has transformed right before our eyes. With every lesson, and each day we work with him, he gets better and better. My house is less stressful and our boy is living a better life. So glad we chose to move forward with the training with Brett.

My GSD received puppy training here about 2 and a half years ago, and everyone there is amazing. I still have him board there whenever I am out of town, because they are the only ones I trust. 10/10 for Bret & Lianne and their entire team!!

What training methods do you use?
Zero to Sit Dog Training uses a balanced dog training approach that combines clear communication, structure, accountability, and rewards to help dogs understand expectations and succeed in real-world situations. Our goal is to create reliable obedience and lasting behavior change both at home and in public environments.
How do I get started with Zero to Sit Dog Training?
Getting started begins with a consultation. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your dog’s behavior, training goals, lifestyle, and any challenges you may be experiencing. This allows us to recommend the best training program for your dog and create a clear path toward reliable real-world obedience and behavior improvement.
Do you train puppies?
Yes. Puppy training is one of the best ways to prevent future behavior problems and build strong habits early. We help puppies with obedience, socialization, leash skills, confidence building, and household manners.
What is the Zero to Sit Real World Club?
The Zero to Sit Real World Club is a monthly dog training membership where owners and dogs meet once per month at public locations to practice obedience around real-life distractions. These structured training outings help dogs become calm, focused, and reliable in everyday environments.
Do I need private lessons before joining the Real World Club?
Yes. All dogs must first complete a private training program before joining the Zero to Sit Real World Club. This ensures every dog has a solid obedience foundation and can safely and successfully participate in group training around distractions.
What behavior issues can you help with?
We help with many common dog behavior challenges including leash pulling, jumping, barking, poor recall, overexcitement, lack of focus, reactivity, dog aggression, socialization problems, and poor public manners. Every training program is customized to your dog’s behavior, temperament, and training goals to help create reliable results in real-world situations.
