Dog Training
Meet our dog trainer Owen. With over a decade of experience in the dog training and animal care industry, Owen is devoted to understanding and communicating dog body language and behaviors, cultivating relationships between pets and their humans that are joyful, respectful and enriching.
While growing up with his family’s own lake-diving labs, Owen began expanding his knowledge of the canine world by dog walking and petsitting for family friends- over time he has experienced just about every aspect of the industry, from cleaning kennels in shelters and clinics to managing large packs of dogs in group daycare to spending the last several years mastering the fundamentals of training as an Apprentice at Found Chicago.
He is excited to share his knowledge and positive reinforcement and reward-based methods along with Sit Social’s dedication to compassionate care, helping develop stress-free and mutually loving relationships between you and your dog!


Dog Training
Meet our dog trainer Owen.
Our 1-1 training sessions with Owen can take place at your home or our space. Sessions are focused on an area of your choosing to improve your dog's behavior (ie separation anxiety, barking, leash pulling) over the course of 6 to 10 sessions. Each week we work with your dog for 60 minutes and each session we give you a repetitive exercise (homework) to do with your dog every day for 15 mins before the next week's session.
Sessions are $90 and must be booked as a 6 pack of weekly sessions. Should your dog's progress stall or the behaviors be more severe, we may recommend additional sessions a la carte at any stage of the process.
Session One: Intake/Assessment
Session Two: Redirection
Session Three: Neutrality
Session Four: Trigger Engagement
Session Five: Practice Techniques
Session Six: Check in/Maintenance
90% of dog training and seeing long term change in behaviors relies on you as the owner to provide daily consistency. We hope you're ready to commit to change. Let's work together to create a better future for the lifetime of your beloved dog.
