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 was really starting to have behavior issues. His reactivity was becoming increasingly problematic. I was deeply concerned for his wellbeing, mentally. Between my anxiety and his, we really spiraled. These guys not only helped him gain confidence, but also me.
I can have people over to my house again and we can go on walks without the stress and anxiety. He’s such a loving boy and I feel like now he gets to enjoy the world and people again.

Amazing… Adopted a very sweet rescue Dane with a very sad backstory. He was immediately and problematically reactive at our front door, and i was genuinely worried as to whether or not we would be able to keep him… Breanna gave him (and us) all of the tools we need (and more) to ensure he could happily remain with us in just a few weeks time. Can’t recommend Breanna and the SMS crew enough.

Our experience with Sit Means Sit and its trainers, Nikita and Brenna, was awesome. Both of them are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and effective training techniques. Their patience and obvious love for the dogs they work with was evident.
When I first brought my puppy to them, I literally had to carry him in due to his timidness and his fear of the leash. My dog quickly learned new skills and gained tremendous confidence. He is a different dog today, in a very positive way.
Many thanks to them! I would absolutely recommend!

My wife and I are truly blown away at how much he learned in such a short period of time! With a little consistency and practice at home Scooby is such an awesome pup now...not that he wasn't already awesome before SMS...he's just way more behaved AWESOME!
Thank you Brenna, Mike and the whole Sit Means Sit Team!!!

We have had a great experience with Nikita. Our dog needed a little more assistance after lessons with two other dog trainers. Even though our private lessons are over, Nikita keeps in great contact to make sure we are meeting our goals. Sit Means Sit is a great resource if your dog is highly reactive to other dogs or people. We are seeing so much improvement in our dog in the month since we've finished training and anticipate that in the coming few months he will have accomplished loose leash walking and massively decreased barrier reactivity. Don't give up on your dog even if you have tried other trainers and methods!
