Sit Means Sit Dog Training Madison

Sit Means Sit has been incredible! Our first experience was with Mike during the training evaluation, where he showcased one of his dogs in a fantastic demo. He recommended the Day and Train program for focused training with my overly excited dog, who needed assistance with listening, commands, and various other issues. **Session One:** The drop-off went smoothly! Brenna ensured I had all my questions answered and provided a helpful take-home package with additional information, including the ecollar and instructions. She also informed us we would have Josh as our trainer. When I returned to pick up Goose after his first day, I had a full hour with Josh to discuss what they worked on, allowing me to practice what Goose had learned. This follow-up session is invaluable for reinforcing training and clarifying any questions. After each session, I received a report featuring a video of the day’s work, homework assignments, and activities to focus on for the week. The homework was engaging, detailed, and essential—definitely don’t skip it! **Key takeaways from day one:** 1. Notable improvement in getting Goose’s attention. 2. Activation of loose leash walking skills. 3. Focus areas included: Sit, Place, recall, loose leash walking, jumping, and working around distractions. **Session two takeaways:** 1. Continued reinforcement of commands, especially with distractions. 2. Further development of loose leash skills. 3. Improvements in recall. Josh taught me how to properly fit the collar, which significantly helped in getting Goose’s attention. **Session three takeaways:** 1. Addressing dog reactivity. 2. Navigating distractions. 3. I had the opportunity to work with Mike and Josh’s dogs, which was incredibly beneficial for receiving real-time advice. A big shout-out to Josh! Your patience and kindness truly stand out. I enjoyed every session. Not only did you train Goose, but you also gave me a significant confidence boost in managing him in different situations. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit whenever I can!

My little Yorkie who is 6 months old, stubborn and I felt was untrainable was enrolled in Sit Means Sit. She worked with Josh and Brenna. Her last sessions were with Brenna who was more than patient with my little stinker. She was able to get her to do things almost immediately which really amazed me. I found out from Brenna that I also needed training. It is a whole process that I never would have understood without her. Since she completed the beginning of her journey Brenna has continued to get in touch with me which is really impressive. I highly recommend Brenna and Sit Means Sit. You won’t be sorry

We took our dog Milo to Sit Means Sit and we worked with Josh. Our dog is scared of everything and reacts by lashing out. Josh did an excellent job of helping both us and Milo to work on our confidence! He gave us tools to use and was always patient with all my questions. We did the 3 full day training sessions. We just completed the day training and are moving to group classes. I have high hopes we will continue to help Milo live his best dog life! Thanks Sit Means Sit and Josh!
