Dog Training Kendall, FL
Dog training in Kendall helps your dog thrive in one of Miami-Dade’s largest and busiest suburban communities. In 1883, the Florida Land and Mortgage Company bought much of the land that is now Kendall and planted fruit groves, managed by company trustee Henry John Broughton Kendall, the son of a British consul who had been born in Lima, Peru. Because the land wasn’t open to homesteading, the area stayed mostly rural for decades. When Dadeland Mall opened on Kendall Drive in 1962, locals nicknamed it “Deadland,” since the road was considered a road to nowhere. Within a few decades, Dadeland had become one of the busiest malls in the country, and Kendall had grown up all around it.
Today, Kendall is a mix of established neighborhoods, lakefront communities, apartments near Dadeland, and busy commercial corridors along Kendall Drive and US 1. Dogs here share their walks with kids, joggers, cyclists, and other dogs, plus ducks, iguanas, and wading birds around the area’s many lakes and canals. We often help Kendall owners with leash pulling, lunging at wildlife, reactivity toward other dogs, jumping on guests, and puppies who need structure from day one.
Whether you’re raising a new puppy, adopting a rescue, or helping your dog handle Kendall’s busy pace, training gives your dog the confidence and manners to enjoy everything Kendall offers.

Sit Happens is the leading dog training provider in the Miami area. But we’re more than just another dog trainer— we’ve earned our reputation for a reason. While typical training might focus on getting your dog to follow commands, we go beyond the basics. Our approach is all about your dog’s overall wellbeing, helping them feel comfortable in their environment and strengthening their bond with you.
We make sure you and your family are part of the process, giving you hands-on lessons and exercises to practice with your dog between sessions. This way, you’re not just teaching your dog commands— you’re building an unbreakable bond with your furry friend.
Yes. Each of our trainers goes through a rigorous 90-day certification course. We only hire trainers with extensive prior experience who pass our thorough vetting process. Each of our trainers also carries their own professional accreditations and affiliations. They are required to undergo 100+ hours of continued education each year to stay up-to-date on the latest science-backed methods.
Of course. One major advantage of private training is that it fits into your lifestyle. Other training services make you drive to a facility on a strict schedule and charge extra for the flexibility of in-home lessons. At Sit Happens, all of our training plans are designed to work within your schedule.
Yes, we can either train each of your dogs individually or hold private group sessions with all of your dogs together. Each of our trainers can work with up to five dogs at a time.
Yes. In order to keep you, your dog, and your trainer safe, we kindly ask that you ensure that your dog has received all their vaccinations.
Yes, the cost of private dog training is comparable to group dog training, yet it’s twice as effective. In a group training setting, your dog has to overcome the distraction of other dogs they don’t know while still trying to learn the basics. Private training offers an array of additional benefits, including flexible scheduling, personalized lessons, and one-on-one attention from the trainer.
