Sit n’ Stay is dedicated to providing the best training for you and your dog. All our programs focus on teaching your dog to be a well-mannered pet in every environment that your whole family can enjoy. With our professional training, you will learn how to prevent unwanted behavior and reduce the chance your dog will develop bad habits in the future. We concentrate on training the family dog for everyday household manners, while also building a positive relationship. All of our training is based on positive reinforcement methods and we are always attending conferences and seminars to stay informed and up to date on the newest techniques. We feel there is never a point where we can stop learning, and neither should you!       Credentials Kim Sauer, CPDT is the owner of Sit n' Stay Pet Services and a member of the training team at Eagle Ridge Kennels.

To earn this credential, a trainer has to demonstrate their knowledge and experience in dog training, stay informed of current knowledge in the field, and be familiar with the latest, most effective training techniques and equipment. Trainers must maintain their credential through continuing education such as workshops, conferences, and hands-on seminars for professional dog trainers. They also adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. When you choose a Certified Pet Dog Trainer, you can be confident that you are working with a professional who has the knowledge and expertise to make your investment in dog training safe, effective, and even fun! Certified Pet Dog Trainers have dog training skills as well as instructor skills to enhance the experience and success for you and your pet dog.
