Hi! I’m Lauren Sisak, CPDT-KA. Owner & Founder of Sit. Stay. Stella.

I've walked through the challenges of life with a reactive and anxious dog and it's those very experiences that have made me a compassionate and effective trainer.

Having faced my own hard times, I understand the power of unwavering support, patience, and second chances. My mission is to help dogs and their owners overcome obstacles, just as I've done in my own life.

In this groundbreaking approach to canine companionship, you'll learn to connect with your furry friend on a deeper level, forging a bond built on trust and mutual respect.

Discover the transformative power of empathetic dog training

I can't express my gratitude enough for Lauren at Sit. Stay. Stella.

“My sweet chi-mix Rosie has complex behavior and medical issues, as well as a whole lot of anxiety. I started using Lauren as a sitter and "anti-walker" nearly a year ago. During this time, Rosie and I have had some intense highs and lows.

Lauren was alongside us for each of them, diligently caring for Rosie, sharing her perspective on how to manage it best, and acting as a compassionate listening ear. Let me tell you, having a certified trainer as a sitter/walker is a game changer for a fearful/anxious dog (and her human). We have seen so much progress this past year, and Lauren was a key member of Rosie's "team" helping us make that progress.”

“From the very beginning, Lauren was patient, understanding, and encouraging. After a couple of acclimation sessions Lauren and Rory became best friends and we were able to fully trust Lauren with her care while out of town! Her detailed notes and video updates keep us worry free and allow us to fully relax knowing Rory is happy. Lauren is a godsend!”
