At Sit Show Dog Training & Resort, we believe every dog deserves clear guidance, fair training, and a life filled with confidence and joy. We built this company around one simple idea: training should make life easier for both ends of the leash, not more stressful.
We are a team of dedicated trainers and pet professionals who live and breathe dogs. From family pets to high-drive working dogs, we’ve spent years helping dogs develop clarity, confidence, and skills that last. With 10+ years in IGP, multiple national-level accomplishments, and four World Championship teams earned, we bring a level of experience that sets our training apart. But titles aren’t what define us, the relationship we build with each dog and owner does. Whether it’s grooming, obedience, behavior work, or elite sport training, our goal is the same: a dog that feels good, understands their job, and enjoys working with their handler.
We believe in fair, balanced training with clear communication and age-appropriate expectations. Dogs should love the work, not just perform it. That means: Sessions built around clarity and confidence Emotional balance and good mindset before performance Training plans customized to each dog’s needs Handlers coached step-by-step so progress happens at home We value honesty, structure, and consistency. No quick fixes, just real, repeatable results that make everyday life smoother.
We don’t just train dogs, we help families enjoy their dogs again. And we don’t just compete in sport, we live it, love it, and bring that passion to every service we offer.
Whether your goal is a confident family dog, a well-groomed companion, or a polished sport partner, we’ll meet you at your current skill level and guide you step-by-step. Your dog’s success starts with a plan, and we’re here to build it with you.
Sit Show Dog Training & Resort is owned and operated by Tony and Susann Milazzo, a husband-and-wife team who have spent their entire lives surrounded by dogs. Both grew up loving dogs and learning from them, and that early passion naturally evolved into years of training, competing, and helping others build better relationships with their own dogs. Dogs have always been a part of their daily life, and that experience shapes the calm, confident approach they bring to every training session.
Tony’s roots are firmly planted in IGP, where he has trained and competed for more than a decade. His dedication and consistency have led him to qualify for four USA IGP World Championship teams with his Malinois, representing the sport at the highest international level. He is known for his fairness, clear communication, and ability to bring confidence and stability to high-drive working dogs.
Susann has a rich background across multiple disciplines. She has competed in FCI obedience, rally obedience, and agility with her Malinois, building a strong foundation in precision, focus, and teamwork. Today, she brings those skills into the world of IGP, competing in the sport with her other malinois. Her multi-sport experience gives her a deep understanding of clarity, structure, and the emotional balance dogs need to work well.
