"I Said Sit!" School for Dogs

I have a 3 year old Yorkie Mix rescue dog who used to be a hot mess. He had lots of anxiety when I went to work, he was dog reactive and fearful of people. The owner of I Said Sit kindly walked me through the process to get started, and she was very blunt when she said I would need to make some changes to our daily routine, and that it wouldn't be a quick fix. That was two years ago. After doing a month-long day care training program with the trainer Janet, I noticed progress. I didn't keep the work going on my own though, and it regressed. Because of my own undoing, it wasn't money well spent. Six months later I returned, once again worked with Janet for a couple of months, and I set aside what I thought I knew from growing up with other "normal" dogs. THAT, was the best money I've ever spent (not counting Amazon Prime, LOL). I wouldn't say that they "fixed" my dog, but I'd say that they helped lay the foundation and taught me how to keep it going. He no longer has the anxiety issue, no longer has dog reactivity, and he has a growing trust of strangers. I still heed Janet's instruction though, and I will never put him into a situation where strangers are allowed to invade his space.

We first enrolled our puppy here when she was 8 weeks old. We signed up for the puppy manners class, a 6 week program that teaches the very basics. IT WAS SO HELPFUL. Everyone at the school is incredibly warm, friendly and so knowledgable. You really feel like you and your dog are in capable hands. Our dog absolutely LOVES it there, her tail goes crazy - she's since stayed overnight once, and has just completed a day training program where she learned sit, stay, loose leash walking and how to be more focused in general. The difference is amazing. We will definitely be taking more classes. We can't recommend this school enough!
