FirstBarkI’ve been working with Sit Means Sit for 5 full months and have received multiple training options (day train, 1:1, group classes) and am throughly impressed by all staff members. With their help, I have been able to do things with my dog I never would have imagined. I will be working with them for all of my animals in the future!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
How do you handle a dog who’s aggressive and scared?
Great question Matt! Handling a dog that's both aggressive and scared requires a combination of patience, understanding, and effective training techniques. It's crucial to avoid escalating the situation by not provoking the dog or putting them in stressful situations. Understanding the root cause of the dog's aggression and fear is essential. Identifying these triggers allows us to develop a targeted training plan. Positive reinforcement techniques are key in addressing this behavior. We focus on rewarding calm and non-aggressive behaviors while gradually desensitizing the dog to their triggers. This might involve creating a safe and comfortable environment for the dog, providing mental stimulation, and engaging in activities that build trust and confidence. Consistency is paramount in our training approach. We establish clear boundaries and expectations for the dog's behavior, ensuring that everyone involved in their care follows the same guidelines.

Do you expose dogs to different environments and situations during training?
This is our favorite. During our trainings we train around many other dogs, go on field trips all around the community and of course our group classes are where we create confidence building drills for real life scenarios. You can find us at Scheels, Home Depot, Lowes, surrounding parks, pet stores, outside of dog parks, and more!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. I have a Husky and before training he was completely out of control. Walks were stressful, he wouldn’t listen, pulled nonstop, and every outing felt exhausting. After just two weeks, the transformation has been incredible. My dog is calmer, obedient, attentive, and actually enjoyable to walk now. I never thought I’d see such a huge change in such a short amount of time. You can tell these trainers truly know what they’re doing and genuinely care about helping both the dogs and their owners. Working with them has made a massive difference in our daily life.
I have had my dog in training for a while she just passed her AKC good citizen test I am proud of her and appreciate the trainers who helped us get this far.they do a good job.
The name of this company alone sounds abusive but my complaint here is that one of your trainers used my dog at a local public park as an example to create a distraction for the dog they were training. My dog didn’t react, either, but I don’t appreciate being used as an example without my consent.You should be using your own dogs in your own Examples and in real world training. Shame on you.

Cannot even express how amazing this program and the trainers are! We have a 2 year old female dobie, Ruby, and just rescued a 9 month old male, Otis, who had been in a very bad situation and was removed from the original owner by the breeder. Otis was a hot mess! He had a lot of crate related trauma and broke out of two fully enclosed crates. Ended up medicated on anti anxiety meds just to junction during the day and 400mg of Trazadone at night just to calm enough to sleep. His anxiety was negatively affecting all of us including our female. We became prisoners in our own home. After a consultation with SMS we signed Otis up for the 10 day boarding training and Ruby for the 4 day training programs. It was our last ditch effort to get Otis to a point where we could keep him and he would be truly happy or we would need to find him yet another home he could hopefully thrive in. We were shocked at the transformation of both dogs. Otis now engages positively with Ruby and both dogs are so well behaved. We can go on walks again, have company over, leave our house and just enjoy having Otis as part of our family. The commitment of the trainers is amazing. They truly are there to support us and help us succeed. We are so happy now and grateful that our dogs are also truly happy. Cannot say enough positive things about the training and support we are receiving from Sit Means Sit and the amazing staff of trainers who truly care and love their jobs!!!
