Professional Dog Behavior Training for Lasting Results

At Sit Means Sit, we have successfully helped Buffalo dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments learn to thrive almost anywhere, from Wilkeson Point to Barkology, to their own backyards. Trust our trained experts to be the dedicated partners that can help your dog address and eliminate a variety of behavioral issues and bad habits.

Aggressive Behavior

An aggressive dog might bite, snap, growl and lunge, even in friendly, non-threatening environments. These behaviors often stem from fear, territorial instincts or a lack of social skills. Through controlled exposure, confidence-building and loving support, your dog can overcome and work past potential triggers of aggression.

Separation Anxiety

Separation anxiety might cause your dog to bark excessively, become destructive and even make messes indoors. We’ll help your dog build their natural comfort zone, establish independence and develop routines that help them feel secure when you aren’t home.

Socialization

New places, people and animals shouldn’t cause your dog to become aggressive, scared or hyper. Socialization training uses safe exposure to new experiences to help your pup learn to remain calm and confident in unfamiliar situations.

Off-Leash Training

Without proper off-leash training, your dog might wander, run wild or get into potentially dangerous situations. We’ll teach them to respect boundaries and respond to commands while avoiding the many distractions that come with being untethered.

House Training

If your dog isn’t housebroken, they might develop inconsistent bathroom habits and make a lot of messes indoors. House training uses positive reinforcement and structured schedule training to establish clear routines for your dog to follow when it’s time to go out (and come back in).

Reactive Behavior

Everyday stimuli (like the mailman) can cause some dogs to overreact, display aggression or become exceptionally fearful. Through proper desensitization and behavior modification, we can help your dog learn to take these normal occurrences in stride.

Buffalo Client Testimonials

“Are you struggling with your dog’s behavior or training or just looking to build a better bond with your dog….I would highly recommend Sit Means Sit! I encourage anyone who thinks their dog can’t be trained or helped to set up an appointment. You won’t regret it. They have helped my reactive dog so much! Best choice I made for myself and my dog!”

Kathy E.

“I started my dog with Sit Means Sit when she was a puppy three years ago. From day one I have been nothing but impressed with their knowledge, expertise in all dog breeds and his willingness and ability to work with and improve behaviors in every dog. What I hadn’t thought about was my need to be trained to train my dog; to be the leader and in control and not let my dog control me. Tom’s instructions to ME have given me the confidence to handle my dog and provide her with the confidence and guidance she needs. I can walk my dog off leash in many situations and when she is on leash she is well behaved.”

Julia B.

“Because of our training at Sit Means Sit, I’m able to take my dogs anywhere – stores, doctors’ offices, dog-friendly restaurant patios, parks, other people’s houses. Strangers comment on how well-behaved they are and ask, “How do you do that?!” That, to me, is a testament to Sit Means Sit. This is a program that REALLY works. With the foundation you’ll build here, there are no limits to what you and your dog can do together.”
