Sit Happens! Companion Dog Training Recognized for Force-Free Dog Training
CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Consumer Choice Award is proud to announce that Sit Happens! Companion Dog Training has been named the 2026 Consumer Choice Award winner in the Pet Training category for Southern Alberta. This recognition reflects the organization's commitment to force-free training, exceptional instruction, and helping families build lasting, positive relationships with their canine companions.
At Sit Happens!, training is about more than teaching commands—it's about helping dogs and their people communicate, build trust, and enjoy life together. Through evidence-based, force-free methods, the team empowers owners with the knowledge and skills needed to raise confident, well-mannered dogs while creating an enjoyable learning experience for the entire family.
“Receiving the Consumer Choice Award is an honour and a reflection of the trust our clients place in us,” said the Sit Happens! team. “We're passionate about helping families build stronger relationships with their dogs through positive, force-free training that is both effective and enjoyable. Seeing dogs and their people succeed together is what inspires us every day.”
What sets Sit Happens! apart is its philosophy of teaching practical, lifelong skills rather than simply correcting unwanted behaviours. Every program is built around three core principles: encouraging human-friendly behaviours, providing dogs with appropriate outlets for their natural instincts, and establishing clear boundaries that promote peaceful coexistence within the home. This thoughtful approach helps dogs become confident companions while giving owners the tools to support long-term success.
The organization offers a variety of family-friendly training programs for puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs, with classes designed to strengthen communication, build confidence, and reinforce positive behaviours at every stage of a dog's life. By creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment, Sit Happens! helps families develop the skills needed for a lifetime of success with their canine companions.
Consumer Choice Award is based on independent market research evaluating reputation, customer satisfaction, and overall excellence. This recognition reinforces Sit Happens! Companion Dog Training's reputation as a trusted provider of force-free dog training in Southern Alberta, helping families build confident, well-mannered canine companions through compassionate, evidence-based education.
