About us
Welcome to Sit Happens Dog Training, where we believe that every dog has the potential to be well-mannered, confident, and joyful. Whether you’re looking for basic obedience, behavior modification, or specialized skill training, we’re here to help you create a positive and lasting relationship with your dog.
Our Mission At Sit Happens, our mission is simple: to provide expert dog training that’s fun, effective, and rooted in positive reinforcement. We understand that each dog is unique, and we tailor our training programs to suit their individual needs, personalities, and learning styles. Our goal is to help your dog become the best version of themselves, while making the learning process enjoyable for both you and your furry friend.
Our Approach We take a balanced, science-backed approach to dog training. Using positive reinforcement methods, we focus on rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones. This fosters trust, strengthens the bond between you and your dog, and ensures lasting results. Whether you’re working on basic obedience, correcting behavioral issues, or preparing your dog for advanced skills, our trainers are here to guide you every step of the way.
Our training programs include:
- Group Classes: Fun, socialized environments to learn foundational obedience and new skills with other dogs.
- Private Sessions: One-on-one lessons tailored to your dog’s unique needs and your goals as a dog owner.
- Behavioral Modification: For dogs with specific behavior challenges, such as anxiety, aggression, or fear-based behaviors.

Our Story Sit Happens Dog Training was founded by Garrett Compston, a lifelong dog lover with a deep understanding of canine behavior. After years of training dogs in various settings—ranging from pet obedience to service dog training—Garrett Compston realized there was a need for a more personalized, effective approach to dog training in Warren Ohio. Sit Happens was born from a desire to offer dog owners a place where they can find professional guidance, hands-on support, and lasting results for their dogs.
Our Philosophy We believe that a well-trained dog is a happy dog, and a well-educated owner is key to success. Our philosophy revolves around patience, consistency, and fun. We strive to create a training environment where both dogs and owners feel comfortable and supported, ensuring that training is not only effective but enjoyable.
