A happy couple with their dog after purchasing dog training in St. Augustine, FL

This company has the patience of saint’s. I not only recommend Sit Happens, but Danny. He was amazing. He helped us get our 1 y/o pit and 9 y/o pupper under control. […] Thank you again to Danny and Sit Happens for their time, patience and experience! 10/10 recommended.

Some recent reviews that really showcase what makes Sit Happens awesome.

Erika was amazing to work with. She ensured we knew how to do the training sessions and our dog was comfortable doing them. The reason we sought out training is because our miniature schnauzer is dog reactive and very stubborn. We wanted some expert guidance on how to resolve this problem and watching him walk by other dogs peacefully has been something we can enjoy and even start taking him in public with us. Great program and great trainers. James also helped us a tad bit too to evaluate our dogs progress.

This training is awesome! I was hesitant and almost went a different direction, but I am so glad I chose Sit Happens! Danny is fantastic and my dog is so well behaved. Pepito’s training isn’t even complete yet and he’s already a rockstar!!! He never leaves our side and and has the best manners ever! Thank you!!!

Danny Bungards is an excellent trainer! He is teaching us how to be better pet owners and enjoy our Golden Doodles! At 7 months, they walk beside us, sit & stay, and are crate trained. They are happy, fun puppies with lots of energy. Danny is strict but loving to Calvin & Knox. So glad for Danny & Sit Happens!!

Erika was awesome!!! She was so amazing helping us. She was able to customize training that worked for both of our dogs who have very different temperaments. Our pups have come such a long way.

We have loved working with Erika! James was wonderful to help us with the right training needs for our dogs and then Erika executed the plan perfectly. She was wonderful to work with us and the dogs. Erika listened to our concerns with our dogs’ behavior and had training and solutions that worked for all of us. We have a pug and pug/frenchie mix and the results have been fantastic!

Sit Happens was recommended to us by our veterinarian for our dog’s anxiety. From the very first session, Erika was magic for Olive. Olive has come such a long way and Erika gave us all of the tools that we needed to work on not just Olive’s anxiety, but also basic obedience training. Olive has so much confidence and LOVES her training sessions. The training also tires her out and she takes a solid 3 to 4 hour nap after each session which is also a huge perk😂
Even after our sessions have ended, Erika keeps in touch and makes sure that we have everything we need to make sure all I’ve lives her best life!! Money well spent 1000 times over.

Erika was absolutely amazing and so helpful! My dog, Bodi, made leaps and bounds more progress than I could have imagined! Erika helped make personalized adjustments that really helped my boy thrive in his training. When we started, Bodi paid me no mind the moment we stepped outside, and with Erika we had him walking near another dog without losing his mind! Very thankful for all of the training and understanding she has given me and Bodi to make us a better mom-dog team! And a shoutout to James for popping in to a training session and helping me with my leash control too! Y'all are the best!

Stop everything now and give them a call! We are so delighted to see the progression we’ve had with our goldendoodle Maple. We started her early at around 3 months old and we are happy we did! We look forward to our training sessions and the progress it has shown. Our trainer Seanna is top tier. She’s given us all the tools needed to give us a tip top shape pup. Aside from her talent with training I personally just absolutely adore her as a person.

I can’t give enough praise to this company. We are thrilled with what we have achieved and learned and we aren’t even done yet. The staff is super friendly and the scheduling is accommodating. Thanks for all the hard work we can’t wait to continue and learn!

Danny has been an amazing trainer for my dog. I adopted my dog, Koda from the humane society after he had been abandoned at the shelter at 5 weeks old. Before the training Koda he was fearful of people, other dogs, and new unfamiliar places. He would not listen to me off leash and I was also having a hard time house training him. Despite trying to socialize him on my own, he would not let anyone come near him. He would snap at other people and dogs out of fear. I knew I really needed help training him after I took him to the vet and he snapped at the vet staff. The vet I took him to recommended me to Sit Happens and I am so glad that picked them to train my dog. After the training Koda is happy to meet new people, he loves meeting and playing with new dogs, I’m able to take him to new places without any issues, and he is completely house trained. Koda has also been doing great off leash. It is like I have a new dog! I never thought he would be as well behaved as he is now. Koda has done so well with the training that he is now on the road to become my own service dog and I’m excited to see what new things he will learn and watch him become the dog I’ve always dreamed of having.

This company has the patience of saint's. I not only recommend Sit Happens, but Danny. He was amazing. He helped us get our 1 y/o pit and 9 y/o pupper under control. Our pit is very active and hyper and we were able to teach him to calm when company and children are around and our mixed 9 y/o is super stubborn but she learned quickly boundaries that were necessary. Thank you again to Danny and Sit Happens for their time, patience and experience! 10/10 recommended.

What a terrific experience my husband and I have had with Danny from Sit Happens! Danny is kind, courteous, and he has a wonderful way with dogs. We have a six month old golden retriever and a six year old cocker spaniel. What we needed were two well trained family dogs that would walk, sit, and listen, both at home and in public. Danny really delivered! The training techniques are fun, easy to understand, and highly effective. It’s all about love, positive reinforcement, and bonding with your pets. We are so happy we contacted Sit Happens! Five stars!!!

Manny and I just finished our last session of training with Danny from Sit Happens. It was a great experience working with Danny and his sweet very well trained Baron! Danny not only trained Manny but also me as well and helped me to help Manny become a more stable dog on our walks and around other dogs and people. Manny is a work in progress but with the techniques and exercises Danny has taught us I feel more confident in being able to control my dog. I would highly recommend Sit Happens if you’re having difficulty managing your dog on those walks or even when going to the vet which is stressful for most dogs, but with the training we received I think we will conquer those times as well.
