FirstBarkThe staff and ownership are great. I had two large (100 lbs +) unruly dogs that I adopted after other owners had returned them to the pound several times, and saw results within the first two sessions. Class acts all around, and I wish I had started sooner.

Do you come to my home for the dog training?
We offer training classes at our facility located in Colorado Springs, but we also offer private training lessons at your home or at a place near you that you choose.

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.

They offer different packages for dog training. We dropped our pup off today for a week of boarding and training. What I've seen and heard so far about them, I like. I will give a full review once I get my dog back next week.

I called Sit Means Sit after 14 months of trying to train my mini doodle puppy the way I had trained all my previous dogs, but was failing miserably! My stress level was through the roof. From the first introduction at our home, to Gracie’s 10-day boarding, and through “graduation” yesterday, I truly can’t speak highly enough about Sit Means Sit. Loren was Gracie’s trainer while boarding, and the level of kindness and professionalism are stellar. He manages a great crew! Our follow up training sessions )with 3 different trainers) were all wonderful, efficient, esteeming and encouraging. I leave Sit Means Sit feeling cared for, seen, heard, esteemed and empowered. My sweet Gracie is doing great!! With the new understanding of commands and training, she now knows how to respond to various circumstances. And after our final training yesterday, she is 100% following commands!! This makes home life such a joy! We can play, and work on recall, enjoy walking, rest, friends and working from home! Training with Sit Means Sit has allowed me to become more comfortable with her being my friend, my family and my support pup. Our home life is peaceful and happy. My life is enriched, as is my sweet pup’s life. ♥️ Thank you to the entire staff at such a well run facility of trainers and staff!
Our dog Jaimie went through the 20 boarding program. She did great. The staff is great and friendly. Only thing is we requested she be trained in the German language however she was still trained in English. The training was effective and she immediately stops any unwanted behavior when given the commands.
All of the instructors were patient and kind. They gave great hints on dealing with my puppy Liam.
