“From the first moment Rosie met Vibeke we knew we were in good hands.”

“Our pup Rosie had been suffering from increasingly challenging anxiety, both separation anxiety and door fear. From the first moment Rosie met Vibeke we knew we were in good hands. She brought out the joyful puppy who had been MIA, and had her running in and out of our front door within the hour. Since then, Vibeke's guidance, remote and in person, has been invaluable to returning Rosie to the happiness and quality of life we want for her. As an added bonus, Rosie has a new bestie!”
“Your sessions were the perfect mix of cheerleading and technique we needed!”

Thank you so much for your coaching, calm intuition, and confidence when working with Millie 1.0 and 2.0. Before we met I was struggling with training and wondering if we could peacefully co-exist with my energetic, sensitive pedal girl; now I find myself more understanding and accepting, catering to her strengths instead of pitfalls, and best of all I see her responding to my patience with much better behavior. Your sessions were the perfect mix of cheerleading and technique we needed!
“I was very lucky to have found Vibeke! I must have contacted 15 trainers before knowing Vibeke would be the right fit for me and Caju, a Jack Russell puppy. ”

“I am deaf and had been looking for training that would have Caju alert me to specific sounds. She is very perceptive and was able to immediately assess Caju's training needs. Her approach is calm and present, and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Caju became instantly attached! I valued that she placed the responsibility on me, the owner, to train him effectively, and that she provided very simple, practical tips that I could use right away. She was also good at explaining how dogs think and the logic behind training techniques, which also made it easier for me to adopt overall. Many trainers seemed to have very set programs for training, while Vibeke understood personalization was important, especially in the context of the dog/owner relationship. It has been wonderful to have Vibeke's structure and guidance as we get started as a dog family and service pair.”
“Vibeke is THE BEST.”

Sit hits the Fan came recommended by my vet. While they have the most creative name, they also have expert dog training skills to calm my anxious boy. Miraculously my dog was listening to Vibeke after 8 years of ignoring me. She taught me skills I continue to incorporate daily and I’ve noticed a tremendous difference in my dog’s behavior. She continues to check in because she cares about dogs - she’s the best!
“We can’t recommend Sit Hits the Fan highly enough!”

“Vibeke has been so tremendously helpful in the training of our sweet pup. When we adopted our pup from a rescue, we were told she was a beagle mix and would be 20 pounds max. Turns out she’s 100% treeing walker coonhound and is already 50 pounds (at 9 months)! We live in a small apartment in Brooklyn so we needed help training/exercising/entertaining our girl. Vibeke worked with us and recommended some fantastic natural supplements to help calm our pup’s naturally energetic demeanor. She fully equipped us with all we needed to set our dog up for success and we can happily say now that with Vibeke’s help, we are on our way to having a wonderfully behaved and well adjusted dog! We can’t recommend Sit Hits the Fan highly enough!”
“If you are looking for a trainer that is calm, caring, extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and someone you and your dog will look forward to working with – look no further!”

I can’t say enough good things about Vibeke! As a first time dog owner I had a steep learning curve when I adopted a rescue puppy. Vibeke helped me with everything from basic training and behavioral issues to finding the proper collar and making me feel confident as a new dog owner. I’m so happy that we found her!
“I am very grateful for all of the help Vibeke gave us. It made a world of difference!”
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
I had the pleasure of working with Vibeke when my new rescue puppy was exhibiting aggressive behavior and bit my son and drew blood. I was terrified! Vibeke took the time to listen, understand, calm me down and set forth a plan for me to use with our little pup Nousha. Within a week or so the most immediate thing I noticed was that Nousha was immediately running to her crate at bedtime: I used to dread having to get her in her crate as she would bare her teeth! As we began to practice the plan that Vibeke set forth we noticed that Nousha’s behavior improved a little everyday. I am very grateful for all of the help Vibeke gave us. It made a world of difference!
“Five stars all around!”

I couldn't have been happier with my session with Vibeke and highly recommend her services. My 9 year old terrier Charlie has anxiety around new people and as a result, she will bark incessantly at anyone who enters our home. Over time, this behavior has spread to any location we settle into. I’d like to take Charlie to work with me but her constant barking has made it impossible. Vibeke arrived on time and immediately connected with Charlie. She was kind and patient and knew exactly how to keep Charlie calm. Vibeke asked me numerous questions to get an understanding of her behavior and relationships to others. It was clear that she wanted to understand Charlie’s entire wellbeing and lifestyle and not just this one habit that she has. Eventually, Vibeke taught me techniques on how to channel Charlie’s energy away from the people arriving which would allow them to enter and exit in peace. Something I really appreciated was that after our session Vibeke made it clear that she was available to speak with me regarding Charlie’s progress in person or on the phone. I felt that I wasn’t going to be alone going forward which made me more confident and consistent in my follow through on training. After some practice I feel much more confident and truly believe that I will be able to bring Charlie to my office this fall. For the first time I have the tools to adjust her behavior while keeping her anxiety at bay and that is all thanks to Vibeke. I am extremely grateful for my session and the knowledge, open communication, and kindness Vibeke displayed throughout this process.
