I was struggling with Daphne’s resource guarding behaviors and my neighbor recommended taking her to Sit Means Sit (SMS). After meeting with Michael we decided the 3 private lessons were best for us. I worked with Sebastian and Alejandra and they were great! They really tailor your program to what your dog needs and are committed to your future success. After completing our private lessons we decided to get the lifetime group class membership. Daphne LOVES going to class and training. Sometimes she sits on her placemat at home and looks at me like “I want to train!” Since working with Sit Means Sit mine and Daphne’s relationship has improved significantly and there’s been a drastic decrease in her resource guarding behavior. On another note, I really appreciate SMS’s Affirm payment plan option and the lifetime warranty that comes with the ecollar. All in all, I definitely recommend Sit Means Sit and believe it’s worth every penny.

Everyone at Sit Means Sit has been wonderful with Ginger. She (and her humans) still have a lot to learn, but they have given us a great foundation on which to build. Thank you!

Both Sebastion and Ale were professional and caring with Nani's training. The end of day customer training was very helpful for the future .

I have a mixed breed rescue dog that I wanted to be able to have off-leash in my yard and at the coast without worrying about her running off. She is very easily distracted at times and I wanted to feel comfortable letting her have some freedom without fear of losing her. Michael and the rest of the staff at Sit Means Sit reassured me that we could get to that point. I was reluctant at first but took the plunge and I couldn’t be more happy with the progress that was made after just one short session. One of their trainers, Sebastian, was so helpful and patient through all of our sessions. Their knowledge and training proved successful, as now I feel very comfortable with my pup being off leash! Hats off to you guys and a big thank you!

My husband and I did extensive research on finding a trainer for our 11 month old dog, Allie Mae. We decided on Sit Means Sit after looking at the positive reviews and a friend’s recommendation. We came into our first meeting with high hopes and our expectations were met immediately. We settled on a 15 day board and train which allowed Allie to receive the training she needed and allowed us to be able to work with Sit Means Sit in the future if we had any questions or concerns. We had the pleasure to work with Sebastian from day one and I can’t compliment him and his work ethic enough. Sebastian and all of the trainers at Sit Means Sit truly care about the dogs they train and make it a fun and rewarding experience. Allie has made 110% improvements in her leash walking and her recall. We are so pleased with the results and can’t wait to come to group classes! Hopefully we can get her into the fire hydrant club soon.
