We'll customize a program with sessions designed to stimulate your dog's mind, body, and spirit. All this means faster results, a better-behaved dog, and more enjoyable time with your furry family member.

My dog's collar is no longer holding a charge. Is there a way to get a new battery for this?

Sit Means Sit is amazing! You will NOT be unsatisfied! They are the best and they are super nice and they teach you everything you need to know to successfully train your dog.
Do you have a trainer named Kate? I have been watching Colt the Bat Dog at the Mallards games and I am impressed.
I take my dog to Sit Means Sit and its been the best experience ever! And Kate is amazing! All the trainers are very nice and will teach you everything you need to know to train your dog. If it wasn't for Sit Means Sit I would not have be able to keep my dog. He has very high energy and Sit Means Sits taught me ways to get his energy out without even leaving the house! Their training works and is the best there is!

My dog Ozzy did the day camp program. He is a one year old, very energetic chocolate lab. We could see a real shift in his overall behavior after the three seven hour sessions. The hour at the end of the day for us to learn what he did that day was very helpful. The trainers were friendly and explained techniques clearly. The classes gave us more confidence while working with him at home. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone and I wish I had done it sooner!

We’re incredibly happy with the training our dog received from Brenna. We did the four week “day and train“ program and we’ve seen massive improvement. Brenna did a great job listening to our specific goals and providing direction on how we can be better handlers.

we have a 1.5 year old yorkie that is a bit stubborn, anxious, as well as being a bit nervous around dogs. We went to SMS to help with consistency in follow through as well as work on building confidence (hoping that would help with the nervous and anxiousness). We did 3 day sessions with Josh and the weekly group trainings. Everyone we’ve encountered from SMS has been very kind and super helpful. You can tell they love what they do. Josh was very helpful and patient with us as we learned how to follow through on what our dog has been learning. I can honestly say that with consistency our dog has seen significant improvement on doing what he is asked, checking in, and being more comfortable with other dogs. I would 100% recommend them to anyone willing to put in the work.

My dog would not listen and jump on people all the time but within the 6 weeks I had training with Josh my dog was able to stop his bad habits and can now be around others!!!

Read what you sign very carefully. They have hidden non refundable fees. The training is so expensive for them not being upfront about their pricing. 3 day training sessions are over $2,000. They don’t have prices on their website or even in person anywhere. And what they tell you about pricing is very confusing until after you’ve paid. I left -$500 with absolutely no training.
