Bridging The Gap Between Frustration & Freedom
Angelica Flores leads CAN GROUP LLC DBA Sit Means Sit Potomac Rockville with a passion for transforming the lives of dogs and the families who love them. Her approach is rooted in the proven attention-based Sit Means Sit system — structured, results-driven, and tailored to every dog's individual temperament.
What we kept seeing — and what brought us into this work full-time — were great families with great dogs who simply didn't know how to communicate with each other. The result: stress, conflict, and dogs being surrendered or euthanized for behaviors that were 100% trainable.
Today, our team trains dogs from across Potomac, Rockville, and the surrounding Maryland communities through our facility at 4956 Macdonough Pl. From puppies and rescues to reactive adolescents and senior dogs, we believe every dog — and every family — deserves the freedom that real obedience provides.
"Every family deserves the freedom that real obedience provides."
— The CAN GROUP LLC DBA Sit Means Sit Potomac Rockville Team
Our Core Values
Attention First
Real obedience starts with attention. Our system gives your dog a clear, consistent way to focus on you — no matter the distraction.
Fast, Reliable Results
Most clients see meaningful change within the first session. We're not interested in stretching out training — we want your dog reliable, fast.
Happy, Confident Dogs
Trained dogs are happy dogs. They're calmer, freer, and more included in their families because they know what's expected of them.
Customized To Your Dog
No two dogs are the same. Every plan is built for your dog's breed, age, temperament, and the goals your family actually has.
Lifetime Support
Once your dog graduates, you keep coming back. Free lifetime group classes mean your skills never get rusty.
Locally Owned
We're not a chain. We're Maryland neighbors who know your zip code, your dog parks, and the trails you want to walk on.
Angelica Flores
Angelica leads CAN GROUP LLC DBA Sit Means Sit Potomac Rockville with deep passion for dogs and the people who love them. Her training philosophy is rooted in the proven, attention-based Sit Means Sit system — designed to produce happy, confident, off-leash reliable dogs.
The goal isn't just to run another franchise — it's to build the kind of training facility families would actually want to find: structured, results-driven, and genuinely warm. Every program is customized to your dog's temperament, your goals, and your family's lifestyle.
Whether you have a 10-week-old puppy, an anxious rescue, a reactive adolescent, or a senior dog with deep-rooted habits — we've trained that dog. And we'll train yours.
