A happy couple with their dog after purchasing dog training in Tampa, FL

Our dog had intense anxiety and confidence issues that led to her being confined to the area around our house. With the help of Jenna and the Sit Happens training program, our dog is now comfortable to sit in the car without barking, go to dog friendly places with minimum pulling, and is able to meet new people while being friendly.

Jenna took a behavior that we’ve been dealing with pretty much all of our dogs life and in 15 min helped us understand why he was doing the behavior and showed us how to fix it! Jenna has the perfect personality for this kind of work and knows her stuff. Our dogs love her!

Jenna was great at getting my golden doodle under control. She comes when I call her, she sits by me and stays. We are still working a little on place but she’s doing awesome. Thank you Jenna for showing or teaching me to train Nala. She’s such a better dog now

What an amazing joy our Nyla Angel is and now that Jenna from Sit Happens has taught her to be a perfect little lady with patience and understanding… it’s like we’re finally speaking the same language! Honestly- it’s been amazing and I’d highly recommend it as a way to gain tools to gain trust in your paw baby.

Jenna was wounderful in so many ways. Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. I don’t feel overwhelmed with my dog anymore. Highly recommend.

WOW, the results are better than I expected. Jenna is an excellent contributor, she explains in detail the steps to training. She was working with my 4 month old Cavapoo, a very energetic excitable puppy.

Jenna has been amazing! We did the 7 week training course for our 3 year old German shepherd. Before we started Bo would try to dart out the front door, jumping on people and super anxious around dogs & would bark anytime he saw a dog. Now he is a much more confident dog and has improved soo much, we are able to take him in public, to the beach, Home Depot. Walk him without fear of him barking like crazy at another dog. We are so grateful and Bo is like a different dog now. We cannot recommend enough!

We have been working with Sit Happens for several months to train highly active Blue Heeler. Jenna has been a amazing to work with. She is very skilled and seems to have an answer for random question or behavior we bring up. She has helped us shape Stirling into fun and obedient companion. She has stayed committed to ensuring that Stirling becomes the best he can be. She has been encouraging to us when we thought a breed like this was too much for us to handle. She makes great recommendations for toys, gear, and food - she has even gifted us a few items. I couldn't imagine being on this dog journey without her. Highly, highly recommend collaborating with her on your dog training needs!

My husband and I contacted Jenna from Sit Happens with the goal of reducing unnecessary barking and socialization for our chihuahua, Elle. Jenna was great and always responsive with whatever questions we had for her. Our major goal was to take her out more and be okay with distractions. For our last session she was able to stay at a restaurant table and let people pet her and walk around which is major process! We look forward to continuing the practice that Jenna taught us with Elle!

Jenna is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her as a dog trainer. She’s great with both humans and fur babies! She presents learning information in a way that I can comprehend and makes it easy to understand. I’ve had experiences with other dog trainers and she is by far the best. My puppy, Elvis, has come along way and I couldn’t have done it without Jenna’s expertise and positive attitude! I can now take him out in public places without the stress, which was my goal. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Jenna!! 😀

Thanks Jenna for the wonderful training of Macey Gray! She is a completely different dog from when we first started! She just turned one so she's still full of energy. However, Jenna has taught me ways of channeling that energy. She is walking so much nicer on a leash, will sit on "place" even with distractions outside. We have started taking Macey to public places and stores. She minds well, wants to please, and never meets a stranger human or dog! This training is worth every cent, but you MUST continue the training on your own throughout the week to get all the benefit. After a training session with and without Jenna, Macey comes home and plops down on the tile floor to rest. A tired pup is a good pup! If something comes up between training sessions, Jenna is just a text away. Thanks for all you've done!

*** 5 stars isn't enough***
I am sooooo happy with the results. My two dogs have always been sweet, but they were terrible to walk with, and we have had several “jump on friends/strangers” incidents. I contacted Sit Happens with only one goal: I want to walk with my child and my dogs together without losing my mind. Well, mission accomplished! Now we can go on family walks, have friends with kids come to our house, take them to public places, and much more. They kept their fun personalities, but now they listen and respond to commands without being bribed with treats. The difference is unbelievable, and we could already see results within just a few weeks of training.
It has definitely been a lot of work. It takes dedication and consistency to get them to the level that you hope, but it is so worth it. Shout out to our fantastic trainer Jenna! She is very knowledgeable and patient and got us exactly where we wanted to be! Again, we couldn't be happier! THANK YOU Sit Happens Tampa! ❤️
