Title: Exceptional Dog Training Experience with Emily at Sit Means Sit! Review: I recently had the pleasure of working with Emily, a highly skilled dog trainer at Sit Means Sit. I cannot express enough how impressed I am with her expertise and dedication to helping dogs and their owners. We initially sought training for our 10-week-old puppy after noticing some reactivity to unfamiliar dogs and for help with kennel training. From the moment I reached out to Sit Means Sit, Emily made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Her professionalism and passion for her work were evident from our very first interaction. She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and tailored a training program that addressed both her behavioral challenges and obedience training. Sit Means Sit is fortunate to have Emily as part of their team. Her passion, knowledge, and ability to connect with dogs and their people make her an outstanding dog trainer. I wholeheartedly recommend Emily and Sit Means Sit to anyone seeking professional and effective dog training.

Ryan and Emily have been amazing to work with! Not only are they well knowledgeable dog trainers but they are great listeners, willing to help out with the unique needs of your dog. My cocker spaniel puppy was having a lot of issues with biting/nipping, getting on furniture, begging, not listening, destructive behaviors like chewing carpet, etc. The normal “wild puppy” they warn you about. It was a great initial experience with a free intro session where Ryan actually came to our house to meet Juniper to get to know her and understand what we were looking for. We had a few private sessions, group classes, and we boarded her a few times in between. Juniper loves Ryan and Emily and is always so excited to see them! What we have learned has helped so much with Juniper’s listening skills and confidence. We are able to communicate and understand each other on a level I don’t think we’d be at if I wouldn’t have took her to Sit Means Sit. She has become an all around better dog. Of course we still have work to do but that’s on me to consistently implement what we have learned. Highly suggest working with Ryan and Emily for any dog training needs. They truly care!

Sit Means Sit has done absolutely wonders for my german shepherd Delta. They build group lessons around the dogs who sign up for that lesson so you actually get to work towards your goals with your dog, instead of the standard basic training lessons. The environment is fun, accepting, and nice to be in. The trainers I've talked too actually take the time to listen to the owners and take in all factors instead of dismissing what the owners say. Both Emily and Ryan do a great job explaining things and answering ALL of my questions even when they may be silly, they never made me feel stupid for asking questions and explaining things for me more than once. Highly recommend at the very least reaching out for any problems anyone may have with their dogs or even if you just want to do extra training or refreshers. Worth every penny, you get what you put into it and more some.
