I was skeptical about hiring a trainer because my dog is 5 years old and stuck in her ways. Sissy had behavior issues with other dogs and people. Getting help from Sit Happens was the best decision I’ve ever made regarding Sissy! Not only does she train your fur baby, but she trains you as well to ensure continued success when your sessions are over! We only had 4 sessions together and the difference is like night and day. I’m able to do things with my dog that I’ve never done before!

I am really impressed with how much my puppy learned and retained through the board and train program with Vikki and Sit Happens Dog Training!

Vikki with Sit Happens was absolutely amazing with my three favorite pups. Three German Shepherd puppies are a challenge to say the least. Vikki came in and got everyone on the same page, including me! She was so good with the dogs, even my most fearful, Sugar. She taught me how to teach them, which is what I loved the most about the training. I have used other trainers, but nothing seemed to work. Thank you so much, as my three are more enjoyable than ever!

Sit Happens did an amazing job with my 2! Thanks to her my fur babies are so well behaved and no accidents in the house! They are completely trained. My dogs love her. Thanks for everything, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Sit happens did a great job training my puppy! My main goal was to have him house trained. I just didn’t have time to be consistent with him. He came back ringing a bell to go potty and with some manners as an a bonus! I highly recommend!

We recently saw Sally the 8 year old Cockerspaniel We recently saw Sally the 8 year old Cockerspaniel for a behavior consultation. Sally is a long term behavior client. She is a rescue dog that struggles with fear based human aggression. It's been 2 years since we've seen her for training and she was so excited for her session. Her human sibling is now a toddler and mom has another baby on the way. Sally is struggling with the toddler phase. She began showing signs of avoidance and growling. We discussed management strategies, ruling out pain, implementing walks, and her owners will begin to have her wear her muzzle again when around the toddler. We also discussed giving her decompression time and counter-conditioning. We admire her owners dedication and commitment. We received an update that she is doing well and they see continuing to work with her. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #lafayettela #reactivedog #aggression #cockerspaniel #behaviorconsultation  #positivedogtraining #muzzletraining #certifiedbehaviorconsultant #cockerspanielsofinstagram❤️

Trout and Dorris braved the bad weather last week Trout and Dorris braved the bad weather last week and attended our Puppy Play Time! Trout showed so much confidence  and enjoyed conquering all the obstacles and playing. Dorris is still working on appropriate play skills . She made great progress during play time. She warmed up to playing and was removed to time out when she engaged in inappropriate behavior. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #socialization #puppiesofinstagram #gsdpuppy #houndpuppy #playtime #workshop #lafayettela #confidence #germanshepherdpuppy #puppylife #earlysocializationforpuppies #puppygram  #dogtrainer #groupclasses #puppylove❤️
🎶We don't talk about Bruno, no, no,no. Meet bur 🎶We don't talk about Bruno, no, no,no. Meet burning the 2 year old European Doberman! He's in training for behavior modification to help decrease his anxiety and defensive aggression. He is responding beautifully to our behavior plan and excels with his obedience training. We are working on finding him productive mental outlets to channel his anxiety. He had his first nosework lesson today and LOVED it. He did fantastic imprinting on Birch Scent and learning how to search for for toys. We are also exploring other dog sport avenues for him. We enjoy working with him and following his progress! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #lafayettela #aggression #europeandoberman #dobermansofig #doglovers  #workingdogsofinstagram  #dobermanlove #dogsports #certifiedbehaviorconsultant
