5/5

We did a 5 day jump start program. Our dog was so well behaved after just two sessions. Absolutely worth the price. Plus, we can drop in at group classes to reinforce her training and learn new skills.

They did what they said they would do. JD & Kolby are very informative and good teachers for both me and my dog.

JD did exactly what he said he would do with training goals for our puppy. It was a little on the high side of pricing , but we would do it again.

We are so incredibly grateful to Sit Means Sit. We had a dog we got at the shelter in March. After 6 months of being miserable, we were giving her one last chance by getting some professional training. We are now enjoying life with our dog and couldn’t be more pleased. Worth every penny!

JD did amazing with our Labrador, Moose. Now every evening walk Moose walks off leash, we removed his cage around his bed after a trial period of leaving him at home while we are at work a few days a week, roaming freely and he has done great! He knows the difference between his bed and his “place”, and he is doing really well with knowing the difference. We are very grateful for you and the time you spent with Moose. We have been working with him every days and reinforcing the training you have taught him, and us. He loves to learn and he is such a great dog. Thank you for all of your help. We will be forever grateful! You won’t regret hiring a trainer from Sit Means Sit! 💛
