Question on Google
Is socialist something you do for dogs?

With my pup they started slow depending on the issue they have dogs who are pre trained that work with your pup unless there are concerns but on the good side once your dog is ready they offer group classes but baby steps first start small and work your way up. Introducing pets and other animals can be hard but allowing them to meet on uncommon ground normally work's best I have seen my pup go through two stages of the training so far and she's ready for group classes but we haven't been in really excited. Trust is a big thing for pets you need to relax and have trust if your unsure then your pet will be unsure which can cause socialization to be an issue but the trainers will work with not only the pet but the owners as well I strongly recommend you try them out and see if you like it.

Do you train service dogs

Yes. I have worked with many Service dogs.

Community answer · Donald Woodward · 2020-09-21

No. Don't trust them to train.

Community answer · Mk Podschweit · 2019-09-21

These ppl are not bad by no means but I think wht they charge to train isn't reasonable and so many other dog trainers out there offered me way better prices and there were a couple at some of the local pet stores that offered training for me for about 250 to 300 that's more like it I just chose to do it on my own.

Community answer · Shaunna Crane · 2018-09-21

Yes, they do and what they charge is well worth it! It's not just the training. The price includes other things as well. For insurance, when we completed the individual sessions, we graduated to the group module. There is so much to be learned in the group. We can attend as often as possible - which we do at 4x per week. I definitely recommend them! If nothing else, at least call them to check for yourself.

We could not he more satisfied with Rio's progress thanks to all of the help and training from Mike, Nick and Skyler. His initial 10 day boot camp and our human training really set the foundation for major improvement. While Rio still has some work to do (meaning we still have work to do), our walks, hikes, time at home, time with grandkids, and travelling have all become safe and enjoyable for us and him. Rio is well on his way to becoming a good citizen. The group classes are awesome as they really help us identify and deal with his weak areas (ignoring distractions) and in continued reinforcement of basic good manners and behavior, all in a great environment. We look forward to continued improvement with your help! Thank you so much. I do not hesitate to recommend Sit Means Sit for your dog.

Great training and an overall good experience for both the humans and the puppers. Very nice facility, large, roomy, and well maintained and clean. Knowledgeable and friendly staff provide constant encouragement and advice. Good value for the price.

An excellent, effective solution for dogs in need of obedience at any level (so just about all dogs!). Our border collie / Bassett mix was herding guests, and not only did the program equip us to address it, our boy (and we!) learned so much more. Chris, our trainer, was knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, and fun to work with. He adapted seamlessly to our pup - an older boy with the Bassett splayed foot - in terms of speed, expectations, and posture. You can tell he loves dogs and loves helping people. We really appreciate and highly recommend the program. And Chris!
