Each dog that goes through a board and train is prescribed the appropriate length of time based on the issues they are experiencing. If you’d like to setup a free phone consultation to go over these options and give you a quote let be know what days you are free and I’ll give you our availability. Thanks so much :)

My 2 year old mini Australian shepherd is usually friendly and adorable but would have erratic episodes of reactive behavior. This made walks challenging at times and if he got out of the house or yard, it could be dangerous. I had never boarded either of my dogs and was nervous about a Board & Train, but Adam took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. His trainer, Caity, sent photos and updates during his stay and it was great to see him playing well with other dogs. Our training session when he returned home was extremely helpful and left me feeling confident I could continue on my own. They have been very responsive with my followup questions as well. Our home has been transformed - walks are peaceful and fun (and often off-leash), my dog is happier both at home and out in the world. Family, friends, and even acquaintances have commented on the positive changes. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit!

I absolutely recommend this program for new dog owners. I highly recommend requesting Caity! She is the most kind and patient trainer. She takes her time and makes sure you leave being and feeling confident! They are so flexible and answer all your questions! It does not matter if it is simple or a difficult question, they always have an answer and solution.

We had a great experience with sit means sit Modesto, Caity was amazing, she really transformed our Sage! Sage was always a loveable dog but had anxiety and barked at everything that walked by. Now she is calm and not phased by people when in elevators, at restaurants, walking down hallways, outside. It is amazing. Thank you Caity!!

This training facility is amazing! I took my 4 month old pup to them for the 2 week board and train and he came home a new dog! The group sessions are awesome as well and they’re always readily available when you continue to have concerns or questions!

We had an incredible experience with Sit Means Sit, and especially with Caity—she is truly exceptional.
We started with weekly in-home sessions while our puppy, Tomo, was still unvaccinated, which made the transition into training seamless and comfortable. Once he was ready, he completed the 9-day day training program—and the results honestly exceeded every expectation we had.
By the first couple of days, Tomo was already working off-leash, and by the time he finished (at just 4½ months old), he was remarkably well-trained. Everywhere we go, people comment that they’ve never seen a dog his age behave so well—and we have to agree.
What’s been most impressive is how practical and real-world the training is. I can take him to restaurants, have him sit calmly right next to me at the table, and actually relax and enjoy my time. That level of control and confidence is priceless.
We’re also excited to continue with their Thursday group classes, which is a huge added value.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the experience. If we ever get another dog, Sit Means Sit will be our first call—no question.
