"It is as simple as this: without Kenny's training and ongoing support, I would not have been able to keep my dog. Now I have a happy, furry companion who has greatly enhanced my life. ~ Sherri

Ken has been amazing with our 2 West Highland Terriers, Penny and Max. They had no formal training and pulled relentlessly on their leashes on every walk, besides lots of barking and they were just plain unruly. His consistent, focused and attentive style of training is just what our family needed so that our dogs were not as headstrong. Ken has an incredible grasp of assessing the family dynamic to know how to work with the dogs in their environment. We are grateful for meeting Ken and so are Max and Penny.

Ken is a life saver! And his talent was evident from the start of our first session. I heard about him in a "word of mouth" old-school way after researching all the big name dog training businesses around town online, and I could not believe how fair his prices were, how flexible he is about scheduling and how much access he gives you -- allowing you to contact him whenever you have questions. He helped us identify what our dog, Sussman, who is a rescue, needs to feel safe and function better. When Ken first came over, I was at my wit's end dealing with my sweet dog's fear-based aggression. At the end of our first discussion, he told to me have faith -- that it would all work out. What I realized in that moment is that he had given me hope. (As cheesy as that sounds.) She has made incredible strides, and despite our crazy schedules, he has worked with us to make it happen. I am so relieved we called him! ~ Cadien A.

K-9 Kenny. We were looking for someone to come to our home and offer individual lessons. He takes the time to learn about your dog's background and specific needs, and then comes up with a plan for you and your dog to learn together. We saw immediate results with our 3 year old adopted German Shepherd and had fun along the way. Kenny is very professional, great with dogs, and is committed to making it a positive experience for both you and your canine companion. One of the best investments you can make.

Kenny was very patient and knowledgeable with his training techniques with my dog. If a certain strategy didn't work he always knew of others that would. Very please with how my dog is learning and behaving.

At K9 Kenny, my mission is to see that every dog owner I work with ends up with a well-mannered, obedient, and happy dog free of behavior issues. Too many dog owners are frustrated by owning an unmanageable dog and instead of seeking training to resolve the situation, they just stop walking the dog altogether or avoid difficult situations such as going near other dogs, eating in the dog's presence, or babying the dog too much. This usually leads to the dog becoming that much more difficult. It can be a vicious cycle, and it's one I am determined to stop! Using my proven effective teaching and training skills, I train the dog out of unruly behaviors and teach you to maintain your dog's good behavior. This results in a powerful owner-dog relationship and ensures that the training lasts a lifetime. Working together, we teach your dog to be obedient and respectful by introducing structure and discipline. My methods address resolving behavioral issues as well as teaching basic and advanced obedience. I always see to it that the training sessions are not just effective but fun as well as training should be an enjoyable experience for both owner and dog alike!

At Sit Means Sit Austin, we help you to achieve control of your dog on and off leash while still allowing your dog to “be a dog”!


Sit Means Sit Dog Training Austin provides advanced obedience training that results in happy, confident and obedient dogs as well as happy, confident and satisfied owners. Unlike other trainers, we equip you to continue your dog’s learning even after they leave our facility. We teach “training as you live” to help you maintain the obedience and skills they learn with our experts.


Our results speak for themselves, we’ve trained 10,000+ dogs in 12 years, with over 300 five-star reviews.

Like the idea of having a professional initially train your dog and you do some of the training yourself so you become a more experienced pet parent? That is what the Day Camp training is about! This is our most popular option and the one where we find the most consistent long-term success.

This is a 3,4, or 6 day all-day training program (normally over a 2 to 4-week period) where a professional trainer will train your dog throughout the day at the training facility around lots of dogs and other distractions.

Private Lesson programs are designed for the family that wants to be directly involved and personally responsible for the success of their dog’s training. In this option, you meet with a trainer for hour-long one-on-one sessions, in a variety of locations such as our training center, parks, and almost any location where you want to help with your dog’s behavior in that situation.

Puppy Kindergarten is an exciting program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a great start. Over a 4 week period, we focus on the fundamentals of owning and training a puppy. Some of the things we teach include engagement, socialization, crate training, sitting, recall, and walking. This program is meant for puppies 8-16 weeks in age.

Our July, August, and September series is now available for booking! Click on “more” for exact dates, times and sign-up links.

This lesson is designed for puppies between 8 weeks and 6 months of age. Our puppy training lessons are focused on addressing some of the most frustrating, challenging issues with new puppies and help you and your puppy get off to a great start. Classes are for single puppies and are $150. We cover things such as potty training, crate training, introducing your puppy to a leash, dealing with chewing and biting, and answering questions you might have.

After your Private Lessons or Day Camp Training Program, enjoy ongoing training, help and challenges with Group Classes! They offer our clients the opportunity for structured socialization and the ability to practice and reinforce obedience.

We have three types of group classes – transitional (beginner), advanced, and specialty.

Our dog training school is proud to offer Specialty Classes that are open to clients who’ve completed our Sit Means Sit obedience training and graduated to group class. These specialty dog training classes are fun introductions to various specialty training that you can see if you and your dog enjoy!

After your full program is complete, enroll in one of our membership programs to maintain and advance your dog’s obedience. These memberships are a great alternative to dog daycares, parks, and bars as they offer your dog “structured socialization” and you an opportunity to work on your training skills!

Advanced Paws – a single private or day train a month + unlimited group class.

Prepare your dog for the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test in one of our Training Programs and/or come in for testing to receive your Canine Good Citizen (GCG)!

We became the proud owners of Sit Means Sit Austin in 2022. Our love for dogs began with our own experiences fostering and adopting from local shelters. We currently have a sweet Pitbull mix named Dino who is full of curiosity and teaches us something new every day!
