Sit Pretty Dog Training

Sit Pretty Dog Training Boston based team of certified dog trainers and behavior consultants offer real world dog training. Does your dog lunge or pull at other dogs on walks?

Does your dog ignore you when you give her commands outside of your house? Is your dog too excited to greet you politely when you get home? Is your dog sensitive to visitors, vet visits, or just the challenges of city life? Do you want to learn to communicate with your dog and build a positive relationship? Sit Pretty Dog Training is here to help you. We’ll teach your dog how to communicate with y

ou in an appropriate way, while keeping your relationship with your dog positive and fun. We can help with:

- Basic obedience for any stage of life;
- Acclimation work with newly rescued dogs;
- Going back to the basics with dogs that may not have the right answer out in the real world. We will come to you and work in the comfort of your home to make sure your dog has the right foundations to take into more distracting and stimulating environments. Then we can move those foundations and behaviors out into the real world where you need them most. Now scheduling private lessons by appointment. Please inquire about scheduling group classes for basic obedience, reactive dogs, and desensitization to veterinary clinics and procedures.

We’re two weekends into the show, so here comes another throwback from Gideon’s prep. His biggest distraction? Toddlers. The man LOVES a tiny human. Luckily for everyone, Annie does not feature a preschool ensemble.

Humans: “Let’s do one more!”
Gideon: “Actually… we’re done.”
A little reminder from my furry co-star that quality beats quantity.

Gideon tells us rest is important, for dogs too.

Gideon’s Annie prep includes learning to stay perfectly still… even while humans swirl around like confused mall shoppers. Because if you can hold your mark at the mall, you can hold it anywhere.

✨ New Blog Post! – It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint: Why Separation Anxiety Training Takes Time✨

📖 Before I became a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT), I had been running long-distance races — half and full marathons — for almost 15 years.

Be sure to follow this page to see his journey as "Sandy" in Wheelock Family Theater's Annie!
