Sit Means Sit Dog Training Fort Collins

BEWARE BEWARE TRAINGING SCAM: IF THIS COMPANY TRULY CARED ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF DOGS, THEY WOULD REFUND ME THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I SPENT ON THIS INEFFECTIVE TRAINING TO HELP THE DOG GET THE TRAINING HE REALLY NEEDS. THIS BUSINESS IS MONEY HUNGRY AND HAS NO REGARDS TO THE ACTUAL WELL BEING OF ANIMALS. DO NOT TAKE YOUR AGGRESSIVE DOG TO THIS PROGRAM, THIS BUSINES IS NOT EQUIPPED TO WORK WITH WORKING BREED DOGS OR AGGRESSIVE DOGS. I truly feel I need to warn any potential consumer with an aggressive or working breed, that Sit Means Sit should never train their dog. I took my aggressive dog to this training program for a board and train and I explained that my dog has reactivity issues and had recently bit someone. Sarah ensured me that they had work with these types of dogs before and that this program would help us to walk him on a leash. The program mentality is that the e-collar was a tap on the shoulder and that the dog had to make the decision to do the command. After talking with several dog behavioral experts, with a working dog with aggressive tendencies, they need to be trained with the mentality that the owner is in charge and making the decisions, for the dog to follow lead. Additionally, when I started taking him to group classes, Canyon would lunge at all the participants. I asked Sarah multiple times to have 1:1 sessions and she continued to make me go to highly stressful group sessions. For the amount of money I paid, that shouldn't have been the response. I have since realized that they no longer do group trainings as they found them ineffective. As such the training program did not work for Canyon, and I am extremely disappointed because I invested a lot of money. I am going to have to pay for new training, and have asked for a refund to help pay for the training to get my dog the help he deserves, otherwise he would need to be put down. The owner refused my request, even though the program didn't work. Which goes to show you that they are driven by money and not the well being of the dog. UPDATE: In response to the remarks below from the business. IF you shifted from the group classes as they were ineffective, WHY would you state that I only completed 3 of the group classes IF THEY DO NOT WORK?? Instead of doing the right thing for the dog, and refunding the money, so I can get Canyon the help he needs, you continue to say that I am to blame, even though you shifted your courses as they were ineffective.

I'm so happy that we chose to take our little guy Donovan to Sit Means Sit. We did the day train program and I can't believe how much he has learned. I love that after the day train we get to meet with the trainer and they take us through everything that they taught him and make sure we know how to help him and continue training at home. We got to work with both Sarah and Mathew both of which were so kind, friendly and encouraging. You can really tell how much they care about animals and want them (and us) to succeed. I'm excited for our continued refreshers.

Sit Means Sit took amazing care of my boys while they were in the board and train program. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and caring towards their clients. They updated me everyday with pictures which was so fun and made me feel a lot better about leaving them there for the 10 days. My dogs had some aggression and general behavior problems and they helped get them on the right track. It’s easier now at home to continue their training with them providing the tools and techniques. It’s also a huge plus to have the monthly refreshers. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Want to give a big thank you to Matthew and Sarah at Sit means Sit in Fort Collins. I put my cocker in the 15 day board and train program and he came home a brand new dog. It appears that they put the work in consistently as my dog is WORE OUT!!. Thank you guys so much for teaching me how to handle my cocker and giving him the tools (and me) to handle and enjoy him!!! 100% recommend this business and their trainers. Thank you so much!!!
