Sit Means Sit Dog Training Madison

My dog Murphy just graduated from his 6 week training! Brenna and Josh are magnificent. They have truly been exactly what we needed. Murphy can go for a walk without freezing in fear and now goes towards people rather than cowering. I am amazed at what we have learned in such a short time. I cannot wait to continue in the group classes! I would recommend Sit Means Sit for anyone and everyone with a dog. !!!

Our dog Chevy, graduated recently from training at Madison, WI Sit Means Sit location! He had two one on one sessions with Josh and one with Brenna. My husband and I really liked the approach to training where they train the dog and the owners. Josh and Brenna were knowledgeable, respectful, kind, and willing to answer our millions of questions! We found the training to be very beneficial. Our dog Chevy was reactive to just about everything, but especially on walks and when people came into our home. Since training (and our continued follow through with coached strategies), we have noticed great changes in Chevy. More consistency with his “place” command really reinforced at this training has been helpful in allowing us to welcome people into our home with Chevy feeling confident in that situation. We have been able to walk on the same side of the sidewalk as both people and dogs with his good response to the learned heel response with attention on us. We are so thankful for the changes we have seen in our dog, Chevy since completing the training. We were initially nervous about the e collar, but our minds were quickly eased by the knowledgeable trainers and after seeing first hand that the collar was a positive reinforcer only. Chevy likes putting the collar on! He responds well and quickly to it. It’s been a game changer. We would recommend Madison sit means sit to dog owners looking for dog training in the area! As with all dog training it is not a “fix it” / “fix everything” solution, follow through and continuing to work on what you learned is key.

I went and had a free assessment for anxiety and reactivity issues in my older rescue dog. It was nice that they offered a free assessment, but won't quote you anything or give you an idea of price beforehand (not even saying how much a single session costs) which was a red flag. They then said I needed to buy a shock collar (which is the last thing my rescue dog with anxiety needs) and pay hundreds of dollars a session. There are much cheaper and better dog trainers and behaviorists in Madison.
