Hazel was turned down by 3 other facilities due to her aggression issues, but Sit Mean Sit welcomed the challenge. She is a rescue and we are her 4th home. We were facing either rehoming or……. because of her aggression. I just couldn’t see her going to a 5th home so we gave Sit Means Sit a try. Blake is unbelievable with her and has been so patient with her and us. She’s not 100%, yet, but with the ongoing check-ins and willingness to help in all cases, I really think she’ll get there. Thank you, Blake!

Hands down would recommend Sit means Sit to anyone but really I would tell anyone to make sure they request Blake as their Trainer. He is who I would recommend and hands down will take any fur baby to train from here on out. Blake is a patient genius! He takes the time to explain everything. He’s working with our newest pup and literally has been a game changer for us. From the first training visit to group training the man is brilliant. He’s made our life and puppy stage entirely more enjoyable as we are now more equipped to handle puppy’s during their puppy phase. Thank you Blake! Mike and I will forever be grateful for you and so is Brock!

Blake from sit means sit is absolute amazing. He takes the time to explain everything he’s teaching to our dogs and teaching us humans. The group classes are great with different ideas taking place each week to keep us on our toes. I highly recommend Sit means Sit in post falls Idaho to anyone who feels their dog needs more guidance, or if you need more control.
