You love your dog. There’s no question about that.
But sometimes…it feels like your dog is running your life instead of fitting into it.
You may have tried lots of things to help the situation…
And in the meantime?

You’re not asking for too much.
You just want a dog who fits into your life instead of turning it upside down.
I’ll let you in on a secret: the problem isn’t you, and it isn’t your dog.
The problem is that no one has shown you how to train in real life, where the problems actually happen, with support, and without methods that don’t align with the love you feel for your dog.
That’s exactly what Dog School Online was built for.

“I was at the point where I didn’t know if we could keep this dog. She was biting my kids, and I couldn’t have other children around her. It was so stressful, and I knew something had to change. Now she runs around with my kids and I’m not worried anymore. It feels so much better.”
~Kari
You've been taught to fix the symptoms – barking, lunging, pulling, ignoring – without ever being shown the full picture…
…including how your dog thinks and interprets what you’re doing.
This is key! Dogs aren’t humans and they don’t think like we do!
The dog training world seems to have forgotten this and pushes some seriously outdated advice.
REALITY: Dogs don’t learn best in chaos.
In a loud, unfamiliar room full of dogs, your pup might behave differently – or not at all.
The second you walk back into your real life, it all unravels.
And for shy, anxious, or aggressive pups? Forget it.
Why?
Because sustainable behavior changes happen at home, with you, where life is lived. Even in excellent group training, it’s the home practice that makes learning stick.
REALITY: You don’t need to dominate your dog. You need to understand them.
Old-school training tells you to use harsh tools like prong collars, scare tactics like shock collars, or outdated “dominance theory.”
But science (and real life) says connection works better than control.
A strong relationship builds a cooperative dog. No yelling, yanking, or fear needed.
REALITY: No one is born knowing how to train a dog. Not even dog trainers.
Endless YouTube videos and blog tips might help in theory, but without feedback and support, it’s almost impossible to know what’s really going wrong (or equally important, what’s going right).
Learning new skills requires teaching and coaching. Even Olympic gold medal winning athletes have coaches. Why would this be any different?
REALITY: Good trainers are people trainers. They need to teach YOU what to do.
Many people assume online training can’t work because the trainer isn’t physically there to “fix” the dog.
But here’s the truth: in most in-person lessons, the trainer rarely takes the leash or touches the dog at all.
Real change happens when you and your dog learn to work together.
This is every bit about teaching the human as well as the dog.
The trainer’s role is to coach, guide, and give you the right tools – and that works beautifully online, right in the environment where your dog actually lives.
What you need is a system that:
Hello 🙋🏼♀️ This dog trainer didn’t grow up with dogs!
I always loved dogs, but got a real education when my husband and I got our first dog, a Rottweiler with a laundry list of “bad behaviors” and NO IDEA what to do.

That led me on a dog training adventure that ended with the founding of Sit n’ Stay Professional Dog Training – and me with an alphabet soup of credentials, none of which will mean anything to you other than this:
I know what it feels like when the dog you adore is also the dog that makes life stressful.
And I know the joy of finding a better way, one built on respect, trust, and teamwork (NOT the “dominant” method that turned my sweet but unruly pup into a snarling mess at the end of the leash).
Showing you how to transform your dog into one that fits seamlessly into your routine is my joy.

Right now, life with your dog might look like:
But with the right training, life can feel more like:

QUICK SELF-CHECK
How many of these sound like you?
🚫 You’re looking for a “quick fix” or a perfectly obedient robot-dog
🚫 You’d rather drop your dog off and have the trainer “fix” them
🚫 You believe in punitive tools like prong or shock collars or dominance-based training methods
🚫 You’re unwilling to spend time each week practicing at home
"We can finally enjoy just hanging out together."
“Before, it felt like we couldn’t relax because every little thing set him off – people, dogs, even noises outside. Now he settles so much quicker, and our house feels calmer. We can finally enjoy just hanging out together.”
~Jen

Creating real change is built into the way Dog School Online is designed.
All of this adds up to real, lasting change – not because I step in and “fix” your dog for you, but because you build the skills, confidence, and teamwork that make your relationship stronger every single day.

Let’s be real: no ethical trainer will promise you a perfect dog. Dogs are living, breathing, sentient beings. But what I can promise you is this:
And because I want you to feel completely confident enrolling, here’s my guarantee:
👉 If you complete the first 30 days of lessons, practice with your dog, and use the support we provide – and you still don’t see meaningful improvement – I’ll refund your tuition in full.
This way, the risk is never on your shoulders. You bring your love for your dog, your willingness to try, and your commitment to showing up, and I’ll bring the plan, the tools, and the support to help you succeed.
That’s my commitment to you, from one dog lover to another.
I’m Kim Sauer, founder and CEO of Sit n’ Stay Professional Dog Training, a cozy indoor facility in Buffalo, NY, and now…the voice of Dog School Online.
I’m a dog trainer, behavior nerd, mom to a teenager learning to drive 😅, and someone who believes raising a good dog shouldn’t feel like a second job.
I’ve been where you are. I’ve walked the reactive dog while pushing a stroller. I’ve cried after stressful walks. I’ve googled solutions at midnight and wondered if I was doing everything wrong.
What changed? I stopped trying to “fix” my dog and started building trust and skills, just like I’ll teach you to do.
For 25+ years, I’ve helped thousands of families in person through Sit n’ Stay, local shelters and rescues. But not everyone can make it to my facility.
Now you don’t have to.
I created Dog School Online to bring the same high-quality, supportive, fear-free training into your home.

"I thought I knew a lot about dogs…"
“I thought I knew a lot about dogs, but after working with Kim, I’ve learned so much. She was looking through their eyes and understanding. It was amazing.”
~Carrie
Totally fair question, especially if you’ve tried in-person training and still struggled at home.
Here’s the thing: real behavior happens in your living room, your backyard, your neighborhood, not in a training center. Dog School Online is built to work where the problems actually occur.
And for dogs who are reactive or who are aggressive, anxious, or shy, having a stranger come to the house or having them confront a room full of strange people and dogs isn’t a good idea. During home training sessions with you, they’re relaxed but alert and comfortable, the perfect mindset for learning.
💬 “It was easier doing it at home. The lessons matched what I needed in real life. Things stuck because I practiced in my space — not in some classroom.” ~Julie
Plus, you’ll get support from real trainers (not algorithms) through live sessions and video feedback, so you're never figuring things out alone.
So many of our students came in thinking they’d “failed” at training. But training isn’t about perfection! It's about having a clear, kind system and ongoing support.
This program meets you where you are. It breaks everything down into manageable steps, celebrates small wins, and helps you rebuild confidence (yours and your dog’s).
💬 “It wasn’t just about the dog learning. I became more confident. I finally felt like, ‘I can do this.’” ~Kathryn
Ah, the myth we love to bust. Believe it or not, most in-person trainers don’t need to touch your dog! The most powerful work comes from you learning how to guide them.
Dog School Online gives you feedback on your submitted training videos and questions which is actually more helpful than seeing your dog behave “perfectly” in a classroom. Our students often say the results felt even more personal than in-person training.
💬 “I got better feedback through video than I ever did at a class. It was tailored to what we needed.” ~Kari
Life happens and we plan for that. You’ll have lifetime access to the core lessons, and every live call is recorded so you can watch on your own time. You can also submit questions in advance and still get customized feedback if you can’t attend live.
No guilt trips here, just flexible support, whenever you need it.
💬 “Even if I missed something live, I could catch up easily. The replays and community made it feel like I was still supported.” ~Julie
Let’s be real: one private session alone can cost $150–200 or more. And most group classes? Great for basic cues, but not so great for real-life behavior or behavior problems.
And while group classes last 4-6 weeks, Dog School Online gives you 12 weeks of structured training, live coaching, personalized video feedback, and a private community for less than the cost of a couple of group classes or in-person sessions.
💬 “The value is incredible. I learned more in this course than in years of trying things on my own or in classes.” ~Stacy
There’s no such thing. Seriously. If your dog barks, jumps, pulls, panics, ignores you, or seems “stubborn,” you’re in the right place. This program was made for the messy middle, the moments that make you want to cry, throw your hands up in frustration, or give up.
We’ve helped dogs who couldn’t go outside, dogs who barked through entire Zoom meetings, and dogs who made their humans question everything. And we’ve helped those humans feel proud, calm, and connected again.
You’re not too late. And you’re not alone.
💬 “My dog used to bark nonstop at every little thing. I felt hopeless. But the changes I saw in just a few weeks were incredible and I finally felt hopeful again.” ~ McKenzie
Dog School Online combines the flexibility and affordability of online learning with the support and personalization of private training at a fraction of the cost:


"What Kim offered was completely different."
“I had tried other training before, but it didn’t stick. What Kim offered was completely different. It was about understanding my dog and working together, not just commands. That changed everything.”
~Kristin
Most of our students tried group classes or private lessons before. Here’s what they told us was missing – and how Dog School Online fills the gap:
Dog School Online gives you the flexibility of online learning, the personalization of private training, and the support of a seasoned coaching team, all at a price that makes sense for real families.
And for those who prefer to stay local and in person? We’ve got you covered with a full suite of in-person options at our Buffalo, NY facility. From private and group training classes to our signature Dog School day program, you have choices that fit your lifestyle.
But what if you can’t make the drive, keep odd hours, or simply want help where the real-life challenges happen (read: in your kitchen, at your front door, or out on neighborhood walks)?
That’s where Dog School Online shines.
This isn’t doggie daycare disguised as training.
It’s a structured, results-driven system designed to turn tension into trust — with real-life skills, on-demand lessons, and a training plan tailored to you and your dog.

“The longer we allow the behaviors to continue, the more they get practiced. And the more they get practiced, the more they get perfected.”
~ME
Yes, I quoted myself, based on my 25+ years in dog training. 😁
Now is the time.
We’re launching Dog School Online at a special founding member price – and this is the only time it will be offered at this rate.
As we continue to expand and improve the program, the price will go up significantly. So if you’ve been waiting for the right time…this is it.
We also keep enrollment small on purpose, so every dog parent gets the individual attention they need. Once we reach capacity, the doors will close until the next round.
But more importantly?
Every week you spend trying to manage your dog’s behavior solo is another week of stress, second-guessing, and missed opportunities to enjoy life together.
“I wish I’d started sooner. It would have saved us a lot of stress, a lot of frustration.”
~Kathyn
If you’re ready for calm walks, easy mornings, and a dog you can truly trust, don’t wait.
If you’re still reading, I’ve got a final thought for you:
You don’t need a perfect dog. You just want the perfect dog for you.
One who fits into your life — who makes things easier, not harder. One you can trust. Relax around. Laugh with. And yes, even take out into the world without stress or fear.
With the right tools and support, you absolutely can create the life you imagined when you first brought your dog home, one filled with calm, connection, and confidence.
Whether you join Dog School Online or not, I’m cheering for you. But if you’re ready to make that dream your reality… we’ve saved you a spot.

Let’s make life easier — for both of you. 🐾
"They get to live their potential."
“Working with Kim and her staff, you're giving your dog a gift to become the best of who they can be. They get to live to their potential, they get to feel accomplished, they get to feel secure, and safe, and capable, and of service in the family, like a participant, not just an extra.”
~Kristin
"He's 180 degrees different."
“Lincoln is not 100% where he needs to be but I tell you what, if he started at 10%, he's about 90% right now. Now he's great. We take him for two walks a day now. I go to parks with him all the time. My wife takes him through our neighborhood all the time. He meets other dogs appropriately now. He listens to us. He's 180 degrees different. We feel confident we can take him places. The training we've got has been fantastic and what we need to do to be proactive with him and react the right way.”
~Derek
