Selena trained our dog Biscuit, a golden retriever puppy, for 10 days. Before his SMS training he had possession issues, listening issues and several other puppy related behaviors we were struggling to shake. After Selena he is a calmer dog, listens well and has become more social with our kids. Worth the time invested for this newly behaved dog. Selena is a great trainer and Biscuit enjoyed his time at Sit Means Sit.

My dog Maverick was trained by Dave and there is a huge difference from when we dropped him off to picking him up two weeks later. Dave was awesome at explaining what we do when Maverick is home with us. So glad we decided to go with Sit means Sit. Plus, he was so clean and soft when we picked him up because Dave gave him a bath before he went home. That was a nice bonus!!

We recently sent our puppy here for training, knowing that there really wasn’t any place we wanted to take him except here. He is our 4th dog trained at this facility. Selena did a great job with Rocky, he was initially pretty shy but is now much more open to dogs and people. I am able to take him out on walks without him pulling and Selena also taught him to jump over obstacles. Thank you!

I brought my 1 year old Rottweiler here and she worked with Selena. Selena was able to help gain my puppies attention, train her on heeling which helped a lot and more. Most importantly she calmed my puppy down because she was selectively reactive to certain things/people. By the end of the board and train, my puppy was about to be easily recalled back when reactive. AND there was a HUGE improvement with her reactivity. Thank you Selena!!!!

Selena provided exceptional training for our dog, Gus, during a two-week board and train program. He returned home knowing all his commands and was even off-leash trained, which exceeded our expectations. Gus’s excitement when seeing Selena again was a clear testament to her outstanding work.
