A bit about us
Community Builders, Expert Certified Trainers, and Professional Puppy Petters
Sit'n Pretty is a brand new venture in the PNW aiming to provide the most authentic dog training experience while working towards building a healthy community of dogs and hoomans who love dogs. It is a very small start up and we are open to all opinions, suggestions, and concerns that will help grow this movement. Ideally we would love to open a brick-and-mortar location but realize that we need to do the groundwork first so that we can really create a place that the community actually needs. Any and all support is greatly appreciated! If you are interested in participating in any fashion or would like to collaborate, please contact us. We want people like you!
If you're interested in job openings, volunteer positions, partnership opportunities, wish to sponsor us, or donate to us, please reach out to us. We're eager to connect with you!
