A different kind of training.
Sit & Stay Studio was founded on a quiet conviction: that the work between humans and dogs deserves more than commands. It deserves understanding.
Shiran — Founder
Sit & Stay Studio is the work of Shiran, a behavioral trainer whose practice is built on listening before instructing. She came to this work the long way — through years of close work with Israeli families and their dogs, from rescues carrying old histories to the most attentive puppies. Her approach is rooted in modern canine psychology, ethology, and the kind of slow, careful observation that no protocol can replicate.
Method
Every plan begins with assessment, not assumption. Shiran watches, she listens, and she designs — together with you. The work is force-free, evidence-based, and quietly relentless about long-term outcomes over quick wins.
The studio
A calm, controlled space in Tel Aviv for studio sessions and small group cohorts. The room is intentional — soft surfaces, neutral light, low arousal — because the environment trains the dog as much as the trainer does.
“I built Sit & Stay because I wanted a place that treated training the way it deserves to be treated — quietly, honestly, and with full respect for the animal in front of you. If you've come this far, you already love your dog. Let's figure out the rest, together.”

The first step is a quiet conversation.
Tell us about your dog. We'll design a path from where you are now to where the two of you can be.
