WHY GOT SIT

Why Do Seattle Dog Owners Choose In-Home Training?

Because a dog that behaves in a training room is not the same as a dog that behaves at your front door, on your walk and at the park. Here is how Got Sit is different.

Your Home Is the Classroom

We train where the problems happen: the doorbell, the kitchen, the sidewalk and the park. Real-life distractions are part of every lesson, so the results hold up in real life.

No Bad Dogs, Just Bad Communication

Our method teaches you to communicate so your dog understands. You learn to lead, your dog learns to focus on you and ignore distractions, and the bond gets stronger.

See It Before You Pay

Every consultation is free and in your home. We work with your dog on the spot and bring one of our trained dogs so you can see exactly what the method produces.

Since 2007, Across the Sound

Marvin Versteeg founded Got Sit in 2007. Today a team of trainers covers Seattle, the Eastside, King County and Snohomish County with the same proven program.

Seattle Dog Trainers

Welcome to Got Sit Dog Training!

Tired of having an unruly dog? Know your puppy needs manners? Frustrated with dog training programs that don’t work? Ready to think outside the leash? You’ve come to the right place!

Got Sit Dog Training believes there are no bad dogs, simply bad communication. To that end, owner Marvin Versteeg developed this unique training method that makes communicating with your dog easy, effective, realistic and reliable.

Unlike other dog training programs, Got Sit uses your home and the world at-large as your dog’s classroom. We focus on preparing both of you for real life situations amid real life distractions. Emphasis is placed on positive reinforcement and fostering a strong owner-dog relationship. Results are immediate, long lasting and life changing. You’ll both be rock stars.

Owning a dog is a long-term commitment. It’s supposed to be a fun, enriching, positive experience. It should increase your quality of life, not your stress level. Marvin and the Got Sit team can help transform your dog into a well-mannered, obedient, happy companion you can confidently incorporate into your life – on and off the leash.

You owe it to yourself and your dog to invest in effective dog training. Call Marvin for an in-home consultation at 425-405-5748 or visit our Contact Page to request a visit online.

Questions Seattle Dog Owners Ask Before Their First Lesson

Short answers to what we hear most on the phone. Anything else, ask during your free in-home consultation.

Is the first in-home consultation really free?

Yes. Every potential client gets a complimentary in-home consultation. We come to your home, work with your dog on the spot, and bring one of our own trained dogs so you can see what the method produces before you spend a dollar.

Where does Got Sit train dogs?

In your home and out in the real world. Your living room, your neighborhood, local parks and busy sidewalks are the classroom, because that is where your dog actually has to listen. We serve Seattle, the Eastside (Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah), King County and Snohomish County.

What problems can in-home dog training fix?

Jumping up, excessive barking, running away, destructive chewing, separation anxiety, leash pulling, soiling the house, nipping and aggression. We evaluate your dog and build one obedience program that covers all of those behaviors.

Which training program is right for my dog?

Puppy Roadmap for young dogs, Executive Training for private in-home lessons that graduate into real-world work, Jump Start board-and-train for owners who need a head start, and Aggression Management for fearful or reactive dogs. We recommend a program after the free consultation, not before.

Do you train all breeds, sizes and ages?

Yes. We have trained everything from young puppies to senior rescues, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. There are no bad dogs, only bad communication, and the method works the same across breeds.

How long has Got Sit been training dogs in the Seattle area?

Since 2007. Marvin Versteeg started Got Sit solo with the goal of creating amazing real-world dogs, and the same method is taught today by the whole Got Sit team across Seattle, the Eastside, King County and Snohomish County.
