Elite Canine Services Dog Training

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend "Sit Means Sit" and owner Alan Shade enough for the incredible transformation they've brought into our dog Jazz's life! Over the last few weeks, Alan has worked wonders with Jazz, teaching her basic obedience and bringing out the best in her. We are truly impressed and grateful for the fantastic job he's done! From the moment we walked through the doors, Alan's passion and dedication to his work were evident. Jazz was always so excited to work with him, and that speaks volumes about the positive and nurturing environment created at "Sit Means Sit." The training sessions were not only effective but also enjoyable for Jazz, and that made a significant difference in her progress. Before coming to "Sit Means Sit," Jazz used to have trouble listening to commands, and her excitement often got the best of her, making it challenging to take her to public places or give her more freedoms. However, thanks to Alan's expert guidance and patient approach, Jazz has become a completely different dog! Her obedience skills have improved tremendously, and she's become a joy to take on outings. Alan's techniques are not just about commands but also about building a strong bond between owners and their furry friends. He not only trains the dogs but also educates the owners, ensuring that we understand how to maintain and reinforce Jazz's newfound skills at home. The positive impact of the training extends beyond our outings. Jazz's behavior at home has improved significantly, and the whole family is now enjoying a more harmonious and loving relationship with her. If you're looking for a dog training service that truly cares about your pet and is dedicated to achieving remarkable results, "Sit Means Sit" and Alan Shade are the ones to choose. Jazz's transformation is a testament to their expertise, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Alan, for all that you've done for Jazz and our family!

Today I picked up my 9 month old German Shepard / Great pyrenees mix puppy from a 2 week board and train session with Alan. He was extremely thorough during the one on one season and took the time to answer all my questions. He also sent daily videos and updates during the session. I could tell by his interaction with all of the dogs that he truly loves dogs and takes good care of them as well. Highly recommended.

Alan Shade, owner of Sit Means Sit, trained my dog Rocco. Best experience ever!! He was a hard dog to train due to some trust issues, so Rocco spent 3 weeks with Alan and he came home a brand new dog with manners, and the ability to listen and mind my commands, but still retaining his adorable personality. I was beyond pleased, and grateful for Alan’s persistence and determination to get the results from Rocco he knew he could. Alan and his wife Demitra are wholeheartedly committed to creating the best learning environment for all dogs. Their facility is continually growing and becoming more advanced - watching their progress has been amazing. They are determined to provide the BEST service and training possible, and I have to say, they’re doing an extraordinary job! Rocco still trains with me daily, and he’s retained every bit of what Alan taught him. He’s proven that a well trained dog, who knows that “Sit Means Sit”, is an asset for their owner, and for Rocco himself. He has a level of confidence, and a “game face” that deters a lot of people. He’s the perfect example of a well trained dog, and I have Alan to thank for this 100%! If you are in the market for a god trainer, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SIT MEANS SIT! You’ll get the results you pay for, for sure!
