About Us

At Sit Means Sit Dog Training, we’re passionate about helping dogs and their owners build stronger, more rewarding relationships through proven obedience training. Proudly serving Elkton, Newark, Middletown, Bear, Glasgow, and surrounding Delaware and Maryland communities, our experienced trainers provide customized programs designed around your dog’s unique personality, age, and training goals.

Whether you’re dealing with leash pulling, jumping, excessive barking, reactivity, or unreliable recall, our team is here to help. We offer personalized training solutions for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including private lessons, immersive board and train programs, puppy training, and advanced off-leash obedience.

We understand that every family has different needs, which is why we create flexible training plans that fit your schedule and lifestyle. Our goal is to equip both you and your dog with the skills and confidence needed for lasting success at home and in everyday situations.

At Sit Means Sit Dog Training, we believe every dog has the potential to become a well-mannered, confident companion. Through expert instruction, consistent communication, and results-driven training methods, we help strengthen the bond between you and your dog—creating happier, more enjoyable lives together.

Meet the Owner – Daniel & Jessica Strong

At Sit Means Sit, we’re not just dog trainers-we’re problem solvers. Our mission? Helping dogs and their owners create a life with more freedom, less frustration, and lasting results.
 
We’re Daniel and Jessica Strong married for over 14 years, parents to six incredible kids, and owners of four amazing dogs. We’ve worked together in the SMS world for the past five years, and in August 2024, we took full ownership of Sit Means Sit Elkton and Wilmington.
 
Daniel grew up with dogs-training, playing, and understanding them from an early age. Jessica? Not so much. That contrast gives us a unique perspective: we understand both the struggles and successes of dog ownership, whether you’re an experienced handler or bringing home your first pup.
