Sit Means Sit Dog Training - Kokomo

Gonna be a long review. We received our Doberman when she was about 14 months old. She had anxiety and some behavioral puppy issues (chewing, zero recall, etc). It got to the point that we were debating if she was a good fit in our household with our other dogs. My wife suggested we try sit means sit. I was skeptical to say the least. We scheduled an appointment and decided we owe it to our Dobie to do it. We went to our one on one training with Ashley and was blown away by the improvement of just one lesson! We continued with our private lessons and then went to group classes. We were super nervous about how she would act with other dogs. Millie was and has been our instructor for the majority of our classes and my wife and I absolutely LOVE HER! Granted, you get what you put in, I believe that between taking advantage of the doggy day care (where they work the dog all day) and unlimited class opportunities (included in the price) Millie and Ashley have transformed a crazy hyper dog with anxiety into a dog that can be brought out in public, has manners and will obey even in crowds. Millie has also done a great job of transforming a stubborn bullheaded dog owner who thought they knew how to ‘train’ a dog into a humbled, receptive, actually in control of their dog owner. I can not thank her enough for that. I will forever be a customer and advocate for sit means sit.

My dream has always been to have a dog that was well mannered and a great representative of their breed. Sit Means Sit Kokomo helped us achieve that goal and made my dream come true. Matilda was never a bad dog, but like many dogs, had her issues that are all too common. Jumping on visitors, reactive barking, and leash pulling were her main trouble spots. With hard work and consistent habits, all her issues became a thing of the past in a matter of weeks. The trainers, Ashley and Millie, are knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about their work. I am happy to say I can take Matilda anywhere dogs are allowed with confidence, pride, and peace of mind. Chris, Bree, and Macie run a top notch facility and I recommend Sit Means Sit to everyone that comments, “You have such a good dog! I wish my dog was like yours.”

I cannot say enough positive things about this training facility. My dog Cookie, well, let's just say she is a more difficult dog. She was biting, jumping, had food aggression, would not focus on us, and incredibly reactive towards other people and dogs. These trainers have taken the time to get to know her, spend time with her, and crate a training program for her. Since she is more difficult, she needed more one on one sessions and she has been doing great. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and is truly there to help you. I honestly cannot tell you how many times I have called with questions and sent videos to show them for help and they have helped me every step of the way. (btw if you're not calling and sending videos for extra help, you are really missing out). Not a single time was I made to feel inadequate or a bad dog mom. Even Chris (one of the owners) watched the video and had pointers tips for me to use. They have been such a saving grace and I don't know what I would have done if not for their help. Cookie still has a long way to go, but she has made such great progress and I am truly grateful for the team they have. Millie and Ashley are both amazing and their enthusiasm honestly makes the classes and training sessions way more enjoyable. You can tell that they are both incredibly passionate about this and want your dog to succeed! I couldn't ask for a better team to help me with my puppy!
