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!

We had a wonderful experience working with Nikita at Sit Means Sit. Our dog Marshall learned so much and we now have the tools to continue training at home. Would recommend for all dog owners.

We had such an awesome experience with Sit Means sit. Our dog needed so much help and so did we:) the owner and trainers are so kind and do an awesome job with the dogs. The way they break things down really helped us take stuff home and implement it. I have worked with all kinds of dog trainers over the last 20 dogs (as I always adopt the challenging BBs) and Sit is the best. They use an e collar and I know this is controversial but this is the second dog I have e collared trained… I don’t think it’s right for every dog necessarily but with a dog that is stubborn or aggressive or even just big and you need to have control over them this is the way to go! Our dog Moose had instant changes from the first week of training. And now she is a total dream. She is excited everyday for me to put her collar on and thrives in the structure. Also we are a queer and trans family and were concerned about being treated well and when we asked the owner about this his he was so kind and assured us that this is a safe place for us and our dog. In these times , you just never know. We cannot recommend Sit enough! When I get my next dog I will begin training with them immediately.

Josh, our trainer, was great to work with and very aware what Rylee needed to succeed. The first day of training was intense, but she came home with the knowledge of what she needed to do. Josh was patient with me in showing me what Rylee needed to work on and gave me much needed advice.

All of the trainers did such a great job with my Pomeranian, Pai! He struggles with reactivity towards other dogs and people, but with a few sessions, he is learning how to remain neutral in stressful situations! Everyone was so amazing and kind, they are very knowledgeable about behavior and understanding what the dogs need in order to be successful. I loved that every session we came to, we were always asked what our top priority for the day was and that it was focused on! I appreciate the entire team and their patience with my little maniac 💕
