Sit Means Sit Dog Training Orlando

We had a bit of a unique experience with sit means sit. We have a 2 year old border collie we got as a rehome from the people who had her since she was 7 weeks. We had a negative thing happen immediately after getting her so we got her into training to try to correct some behavior issues. It wasn’t with sit means sit, so she has done training before with another trainer who taught us basic obedience. But after several months, we still needed more reactivity help. So we signed her up for board and train for 10 days while we were out of town. When I picked her up she was crazy. Like more crazy than when I dropped her off. I was not happy at all with the amount of money I spent to get a dog that was supposed to be trained back, only to have a psycho dog who even the trainer was having issues with her listening at pick up. Within about 10 minutes of me leaving our attempted pick up training session, Emma (head trainer) called me and discussed options of things to try. To give it a couple of days, work on the stuff I was sent home with and other suggestions. The next day they called me again and were quite concerned and really wanted to make my experience with them a good one. They offered a redo on her training for as long as she needed to be there. So we brought her back a couple days later. I had some suggestions and requests which they took well and incorporated in her training. One being that I came in part way into the week and worked with her so she didn’t have 10 days without me again. They also did more outside training with her and had her on the treadmill daily or close to it, so she got her wiggles out. After another 10 days they felt like she was ready to come home. So we did pick up #2. This time it went much better. She was vocally argumentative because she wanted to come to me, but listened to the trainer and obeyed the collar refraining from jumping so much unless allowed. We ended up working with Emma at pick up and for a couple of private sessions after we picked her up, as she wanted to make sure all was going well after our first experience. I don’t know if it’s all border collies or if mine is just extra special, but the extra training was so helpful and definitely brought my review from what it might have been to a 5. :) Everyone was so nice and wanted to make sure we felt like we got our money’s worth and had a good experience. It’s not a cheap program but they made sure we finished it with a good experience. The fact that all of the trainers know her when we walk in is nice too. I don’t know if she’s famous or infamous with them but they definitely know who she is when we come in. :) We are starting group classes soon and we’ll see how that goes but so far so good, and they turned what could have been an awful experience into a really good one that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Our dog Kobe is a rescued Husky who came from a rough previous home and had a lot of behavioral issues. We tried two other trainers before Sit Means Sit. They helped with potty training, but the bigger behavior problems were still there. Kobe couldn’t be around other dogs or go into public places. We couldn’t even walk past a dog park. He destroyed crates, scratched up doors, and grooming was nearly impossible because of how anxious and traumatized he was. Sit Means Sit Orlando changed everything. We did the 3-week board and train along with group classes, and it truly worked. Kobe completed training in 2017, and now in 2025 he’s 8 years later still doing amazing. He’s calm, well behaved, great in public, and actually enjoys being challenged and learning. We recommend Sit Means Sit Orlando to everyone we talk to. We’re so thankful for what they did for our dog and our family.

Charlee started out in puppy class as a wild animal, silly little boy, full of puppy shenanigans!! He graduated after six weeks and moved on to one-on-one classes, first all day with his awesome trainer Jen all day on Fridays with an hour with Jen and mom at the end of the day, ending with mom, Charlee, and Jen for an hour at the end of the day for a few weeks. He is now a pretty well behaved, pleasant just shy of 5 month old beast at 61.4 pounds German Shepherd puppy. Charlee will now move on to group classes to finish up his adventures in dog training. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Sit means Sit is for training all kinds of puppies and dogs. The staff is so wonderful and welcoming. They have been a wonderful support to this crazy old lady who bit of more than she would have been able to handle without the excellent advise, support, and training for Charlee and me!!
