FirstBarkSMS has been great for Holly! We did the intensive two week program and then followed on with the individual lessons. We have seen great progress in calming some of the puppy energy - and will be sure to reinforce with the group lesson offerings!

We had an amazing experience with the staff at Sit Means Sit. Our 11 month dog was very distracted, pulled when on walks and was very skittish around everyone. We decided to enroll her in a 3 week training school and she came back a totally different dog. She now plays in the yard off leash, walks without pulling and is much less stressed when around people. I can not say enough about the staff especially Sebastian who has continued to work with us and River. We look forward to attending weekly group classes!
We had a great experience with Sit Means Sit. We took our pup Frodo for training on a variety of things and he's learned so much. We also have learned a great deal through this process. All the trainers were knowledgeable and helpful. We look forward to implementing all we've learned and continuing our education as well as Frodo's.

This is our second dog that we’ve had trained at Sit Means Sit, and they are wonderful! The staff is well trained and loves dogs - it’s apparent when you see them with your pup! Teddy now has very good “manners” and has developed self-control. He doesn’t pull on the leash when walking anymore and follows commands like a champ! We can really enjoy our sweet boy now that there are boundaries around his behavior. Thanks so much!!
Excellent customer service, everyone was knowledgeable, and the trainers are incredible! 100% would recommend this company to anyone looking for help with their dog.
