I have trained my German Shepherds there from puppy to adult. Many trainers want to use prong and e collars on these big dogs. Not here. They treated my dog and myself with dignity and respect. They use humane training methods and really understand K9 body language. My dogs are my children, and I only want the best for them. That's why I choose Sit Stay N' Play. read more

Absolutely love Sit, Stay, 'N Play! The trainers all have great attitude, they are super helpful and the training is top notch. Brought my dog brody for the beginner obedience class and at the start of class he couldn't go 10 seconds without barking and whining. By the last class he was laying down and staring at me waiting for his next command. Was recommended this place by a friend and I now recommend it to my friends. Great place, great people, great dogs :) read more

Sit, Stay, 'N Play - Brody - Pet Training Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

I've gone here twice so far for puppy training and I am so happy I chose this place! The trainer is amazing and so sweet and patient with both me and my hyper puppy. She gives us a paper at the end of each class for our "homework" and to show what exactly we went over that day. She thoroughly enjoys what she does and it shows. Highly recommend this place! read more

Sit, Stay, 'N Play - Holly ready for her puppy class! - Pet Training Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

The staff is awesome! They're super friendly and truly care about getting your dog trained properly rather than worry about being paid. They want to make sure your dog is safe and well behaved. I couldn't recommend this place any more. If your dog needs to be trained come here. read more

The lady didn't even introduce herself. I was the only person there for a agility evaluation and the purple haired lady asked me if I had a pre-req obedience class. I said no, no one told me that I needed one. Purple haired lady looked very annoyed. I was in the building for a whole 15min. It was a waste of time and money. my dog and I will not be going back. read more

Our trainer Kathy in Amazing.....I love her my fur baby Athena absolutely loves her & so does all the other dogs & owners I've been in class with. Kathy teaches us in a way that is easy for us both to understand & are able to practice at home together! We just started our 2nd class with Kathy Puppy beginner obedience class & we just finished up puppy kindergarten a couple weeks ago. I have another fur baby who just turned 4 months his name is Gunther & we will be signing up for puppy kindergarten for him very soon! I couldn't have asked for any better training school for my fur babies, we will be continued learners/students of Sit, Stay & Play for lifeThank you so much for all the amazing things we have learned & will learn in the future!! read more

I guess its ok if you have no idea what to do when training a dog (i mean completely clueless) but when i came in and saw i spent over $100 to sit in a chair my first class i just shook my head. The trainer spent a majority of the class just talking to the other owners about their specific issues with their dogs and not really teaching. She spent maybe a whole 15 mins telling us what she wanted us to teach our dogs by next class and the best way to do it. I was out of the chair to practice for about only 5 mins before the class was over. I work retail so i dont have a set schedule which i informed them about before i paid for the classes. They had told me it wouldnt be a problem but when i let them know i couldnt go the same time every day after i payed they "could temporarily switch me to a different class but (I) had to pick a schedule" Needless to say my now 6 month old German shepherd is often mistaken for a service dog with how well i have him trained without taking him to these classes. Didnt even bother to try to get my money back because i really didnt feel like getting into a debate with anyone. Others i know have had great experiences and have told me they never sat in a chair especially for their first class so maybe it was just my instructor (only one other person ive spoken to had the same experience with the same instructor whos name i dont remember) but the truth is it just felt like a waste of money to me. Short version if you dont know where to start with your dog i guess its ok but my personal experience was awful which is unfortunate because they came so highly recommended. read more

While visiting the Poconos for a brief stay, I signed up for their competition obedience class. I've taught obedience for about 15 years and have shown in obedience for over 20 years. Their instructor is knowledgeable, runs a great class with novel practice exercises, and provides instruction appropriate to each handler and dog's level. She is able to pinpoint each handler's problem areas and recommend tips for improvement. We are having a lot of fun. Highly recommend this class. read more

Ten stars!! I brought my boy Keisel to Sit, Stay N Play for CGC training and the test. I have been in the dog rescue world for about 5 years and in those years I have learned what constitutes a good and knowledgeable trainer that believes in positive training methods. And let me tell you Lori (or Laurie, sorry!) was amazing; she fit the bill 100%. I am sad that I moved away or else I would continue taking classes there. Convenient location and hours. Great facility. Lots of options for classes! read more

Disappointed in our experience with Sit/Stay/Play. Things started out well with our beginner class .. we learned alot from trainer (Dagan) .. he was patient and knowledgeable .. Things did not go as well as we 'moved up' to next class sessions. Went into sessions with trainer (Kathy) .. class had quite a few dogs and we felt that we were intruding in that our dog was just beginning her training. At times we felt she was annoyed with our being there .. perhaps her class size was too large and she really didn't want another dog in class ?? Tipping point for us was when she brought out a stuffed dog so our dog could get used to other dogs .. what ?? We signed up to get training sessions so she could socialize with other dogs .. not stuffed dogs.. That was our last session .. we never went back .. no follow up calls from owner as to why we stopped coming .. fees paid up front so I guess no incentive to check in with us. read more
