Sit Means Sit Dog Training

When I first adopted my puppy, I researched many dog training companies in Raleigh and I’m so glad we went with Sit Means Sit! Between the onsite training and ongoing group classes, Rufus keeps getting better and better. We bring him to work most days and people are constantly commenting on how well-behaved he is. He is great on a leash, an angel at the groomer, and great with people and other dogs. I highly recommend sit means sit!

I wasn’t sure where to begin when I first moved to North Carolina with my extremely reactive one-year-old German Shepherd. I searched everywhere for a training facility that matched the style I was looking for—one that used tools and offered more than just “positive only” methods. After a lot of frustration, I finally discovered Sit Means Sit. I went in for a free consultation with no expectations, but choosing them turned out to be the best decision I’ve made for my dog and myself. Their program isn’t just about training the dog—it’s about teaching the owner how to work with their dog effectively. After just a few months of weekly sessions, my GSD, Zara, can now calmly work around a busy dog park full of barking and distractions. When I faced challenges at home, the owner even came to my house to help me directly. That’s what sets this facility apart: they don’t just hand you back a “trained dog,” they teach you how to handle real-life situations and resolve issues together. Training isn’t cheap, but if you’re willing to put in the effort and truly want change, the results are absolutely worth it. I’m often stopped by people asking, “Who’s your trainer? How did you get her so well-behaved?” and I proudly answer, Sit Means Sit. If you’re hesitant about working with a trainer, take the leap—you’ll be glad you did. It’s an investment of time and effort that pays off in ways you’ll appreciate every single day.

The staff is amazing!!! They worked with fur baby one on one and now we just started our Group classes. Sit Means Sit is the best thing that could have happened to my fur baby & I. I leaned a lot about my fur baby during the consultation; she was very energetic, curious, anxiety & consistently barked. The first day of my fur baby one on one I was so surprised that she stopped barking. My fur baby anxiety has gotten much better. She really loves going here & my fur baby always knows when we are pulling up. I’m so helpful for the staff everyone is very friendly & all are welling to step in and help. This place is amazing & I'm glad I choose Sit Means Sit for my fur baby to train.

I chose Sit Means Sit because they accepted small breeds into their boarding training program. Pebbles the pug was in the program when she was an 8 month old puppy. In 2 weeks I could NOT believe the transformation. I’ve had pugs in the past and do know their temperament…She’s a completely different dog. Sit means sit techniques completely worked and it has made puppyhood so much more enjoyable Thank you Drew Ansley
