I honestly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for Sit Means Sit! When I first came to them, my dog was extremely aggressive and reactive, lunging, barking, and completely overwhelmed around other dogs and people. He had a bite history, and we were on the brink of having to give him up. I couldn’t take him on walks without complete anxiety, and he wouldn’t let anyone touch him, and at times, I wasn’t even able to. It was heartbreaking and exhausting. But thanks to the incredible work and dedication of all of the trainers and staff, our lives have completely changed. Their training methods were patient, structured, and full of compassion, not just for my dog, but for me too. They taught me how to understand my dog’s behavior, how to set clear boundaries, and, how to build a trusting relationship. We used an e-collar to gently guide my dog into obedience with no shocks or pain to him at all. Today, my dog can walk calmly next to other dogs, even in busy environments. He’s able to be touched by more and more people without a complete meltdown. The transformation is something I never imagined possible! This wasn’t just dog training; this was a complete shift in our lives. I finally feel confident, and my dog is happy, calm, and no longer living in a constant state of stress. He gets to live out his best life thanks to their training. Their work is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. heart. You gave me my dog back !!!!! ❤️

We took our two 6-month old puppies to this training location. From day one, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. In just a few sessions, we saw a huge transformation in our dog’s behavior. Ava, Liz and Gianna really took the time to teach our dogs and family giving us the tools and confidence to reinforce the training at home. Walks are no longer a battle, guests can actually visit without chaos, and my pup is happier and more confident than ever. If you're looking for real results with trainers who truly care, Sit Means Sit is the only choice. Worth every penny!

What a terrific experience! Our dog’s behavior improved dramatically over a short course of lessons. We are now in group classes and doing very well! Special thanks to Liz, Ava and Gianna who were his training team ( and ours too! )

Please do your research and read all reviews not just on Google but on other platforms. We chose not to go further with this company because it turns out that most dogs come back worse or scared, kept locked up in a kennel almost all day until they're finally "worked" with and the use of shock collar to a point where it's borderline abusive.

The system works if you work it! Our pup responded well and is much more focused and obedient. The staff here are all passionate about dogs and very patient (with the dogs and the owners!). Highly recommend!
