Question on Google
I am told this place trains with shock collar on all its dogs, even before the dog learns commands. Is this true?

Hi, I was a little concerned on how Someone can use a “shock collar” for positive reinforcement ?

Community answer · John Reeves (BackyardSkate) · 2021-09-21

Hey Jennylee, my name is Anthony and I own our Denver location. Call it what you like but the modern tech and modern, attention-based approach is very different than a past mindset of “shock collar” or training. More trainers and people are exploring and using collars now than ever because of the advancement and evolution. You’re welcome to visit with us personally for free and educate and then judge for yourself what makes sense. We’ve been at it for 20 years, so the system, technique and results are really well documented. I appreciate your attention, feel free to reach out. Anthony

Community answer · Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training · 2020-09-21

They don't call it a shock collar since they use it for "positive reinforcement", but yes. It's definitely a shock collar. They will also recommend your dog to wear it at all times.

Question on Google
What's the age range of dogs you train?

We work with dogs 10 weeks and older. Our first step is to schedule a free consultation appointment to meet with our trainers.

Community answer · Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training · 2024-09-21

We started with a puppy about 5 months old

Community answer · Liz Puppe · 2019-09-21

Question on Google
What types of dogs do you train and when?

We train any dog, any age, any problem! We'll start puppies as early as 8-10 weeks and grow them for life; we've had 12 year old dogs come for training too! And we purposely located outside of Denver so we don't have breed restrictions.

Question on Google
What is the cost of the services?

It depends on the dog and specific needs! They will give you a free consultation where they meet you and the dog! My dog did one week boarding. Total was $1850.

Community answer · Britni Luna · 2019-09-21

Hey Stephanie, Just like Britni said below, we meet for free to assess your dog and needs, then give you options. I noticed you contacted us directly and may be up in the foothills, so several factors may come into play for you like timing, travel, schedule and of course budget. Please call us to chat and we'll see if it makes sense to get together. 303-422-3647. Anthony ps. that boarding listed here is an unlimited lifetime follow up!!

Question on Google
How can I get a replacement controller?

Laura, I'm presuming you have our Sit Means Sit collar which also has a lifetime warranty! So, if the controller is not functioning, the manufacturer will repair or replace. If you've lost it call our office and we can coordinate getting you a new one. Numbers are listed in Google profile. Anthony

Our pup’s behavior was SO much better after Board and Train. We’re continuing with lessons and it’s been so helpful. The folks at Sit Means Sit have reached out between training sessions to check on our progress and offer suggestions. We can’t recommend them enough.

I am so grateful for the team at Sit Means Sit! My 3-year-old Goldendoodle, Bentley, and I have been training here for about a year, and the difference has been truly night and day. When we first started, Bentley had very high-energy puppy tendencies and struggled with possessiveness and general listening. I felt overwhelmed and unsure what to do, but Ed, Anthony, and the entire team gave us the tools and guidance we needed to succeed. They don’t just train your dog — they teach you how to properly communicate and train your dog. The lifetime program is incredible, and we love having the option to attend weekly group classes with continued support. I can’t recommend Sit Means Sit enough — we’re so thankful for everything they’ve done for Bentley!

One thing I really like about the team at sit means sit is they care about the dogs. They want to set the dogs up for success by training the owners how to communicate and use the collar. It's a little tricky to get used to holding the remote through the day but that's part of the learning process. I really like the idea that training is continuous. The group classes are great for seeing what is going well and what needs more attention at home. A "shock collar" could be mean if the user doesn't have a plan and is using it as punishment. At sit means sit they teach owners how to use the collar as a communication tool.

Every person We worked with were kind and so good about explaining the training in a way that made so much sense. I feel so much better about my relationship with my dog. It is the best money I’ve ever spent.!!
