Boarding & Training Lessons for Dogs

Our knowledgeable Cincinnati dog trainers use proven methods that create lasting results. During your dog’s stay, we’ll cover foundational and more advanced obedience techniques, including mastering basic commands, improving loose-leash walking, learning impulse control and proper greeting behavior. We’ll deliver regular updates on your dog’s progress and show you how to reinforce their new skills once reunited.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I bring for my dog during board & train?

    Please bring your dog’s flat collar and leash, their favorite toy, pre-bagged food for the morning and night, any medications they need and high-value treats. We provide bowls and additional boarding items.

  • How long does the board & train program take?

    At Sit Means Sit Cincinnati, our experienced dog trainers individualize your dog’s training sessions to ensure your pup makes the most of their boarding time. The length of stay depends on your training goals and your dog’s needs, which we’ll discuss during your free evaluation.

  • Can I visit my dog during the boarding period?

    To maintain consistency in training and avoid disrupting your dog’s progress, we do not schedule visits during their stay with us. However, we’ll send you regular updates and photos of your dog’s progress to keep you informed while you’re away.

  • Will my dog be fully trained at the end of the program?

    Your dog will learn many new skills during their stay, but their success depends on following through with the training at home. That’s why our Dog Board & Train programs include Private Dog Training Lessons to teach you how to maintain and build upon your dog’s new behaviors, along with access to our Group Classes for ongoing support.

See Why Cincinnati Dog Owners Love Sit Means Sit

Our puppy Guinness had some bad habits and having never raised a puppy, we needed help. We had a trainer come to our house for awhile, but there seemed to be little progress. Sit Means Sit Cincinnati was a lifesaver. While Guinness still has plenty to learn, his training made a big improvement and the fact that we can take part in group classes for no additional charge is awesome! Guinness loves to see all the dog trainers, they are a great group!
We have been so happy with our experience at Sit Means Sit Cincinnati! The dog trainers treat our pup like one of their own. Our dog loves going to his follow up classes each week, and we LOVE all the progress he has made and continues to make!
Perfect! I really thought I was going to have to rehome Nelson. He was so reactive and his prey drive was excessive. Had done several other obedience classes elsewhere (and they were good) but Sit Means Sit Cincinnati’s 10 day Board and Train did the job. We are meshing so well. I am so much more confident with my 90 pound Serbian German Shepherd than I would ever have thought possible. I am so in love with this dog I cannot wait to start our day hikes this spring. We’re not perfect yet but I have high hopes!
