We really enjoyed working with Sit Means Sit! My husband and I had previously tried to train our pup Benny on our own, but with working full time, we felt ultimately what was best for him was to get some productive, structured training. Hailey, his trainer, was great! We saw great progress from Benny very quickly. Hailey also worked with us and taught us what Benny learned each session so we could continue training at home! We are very pleased with our decision to go with Sit Means Sit to train Benny.

This training takes your dog for a full day and then an hour at the end of the day with you and the dog. The package I signed up 4 included three full day sessions and three 1 hour follow up sessions with other dogs present. At the end of the full day sessions, I had seen little or no progress. Since they were a well-established business, I thought it might have been me. I arrived with somebody bringing their dog for 5th session and they were doing no better. I admit I did not do the one hour follow up sessions. This was because I've received advice, I found really repugnant. My dog has a tendency to chase runners. They suggested putting a long leash on and when he chased, stand on the leash. They also said you should be using a simple collar around the neck. My dog is a 13 pound high energy rescue. Stomping on the leash seemed a good way to hurt him when he was at full speed. That's when I decided not to follow up. I have since started with a new trainer. You had my dog for over 20 hours plus the three hours that your staff and I worked together. In two one-hour sessions with a new trainer, I have seen much better progress. You may have had a better way to stop the dog from chasing runners, but it was not made clear to me. Considering how little progress my dog made and the other dog that I saw and described above, it appears that your method may not be for all dogs. I did see some dogs at your facility that were very well behaved.

Bruno was an unruly 6 month old, 60 pound puppy when I enrolled him at Sit Means Sit. At first, I thought the price for four lessons was high, but after seeing the results I no longer feel that way. I'm so impressed with the care in training not only Bruno, but me as well.

Really enjoyed doing this training with my 12-year-old son and his new puppy. It really helped him be more responsible and taught him how to interact with the puppy without getting frustrated. Marisa was great and very patient with all of us! Below is my son’s review… Great experience! My dog is really obedient now because of what we learned! There are dogs that might bark middle of the session but overall great place.

Sit Means Sit and Heather have really helped Dakota. She is becoming a friendlier and better behaved dog. I am now able to control Dakota’s long periods of barking and Dakota no longer rushes head long towards any door or door bell. Dakota has also become less hesitant around new people and new places. We will be continuing with group classes to reinforce her skills and learn new ones. The staff at Sit Means Sit is knowlegeable and give each dog a positive training experience. They help owners by showing them how to positively get their dog to obey and giving them tips if they have a stubborn dog, like Dakota. Above all, it is obvious that they like and enjoy dogs and want the dogs to be their best dog. This has been a very positive experience for both Dakota and myself. My daughter-in-law saw Dakota’s picture at her graduation and commented that Dakota looked happy. That was not a look I used to get when Dakota was outside of her home. Thank you so much for helping us!
