In our private training programs you will work side by side with our trainers on a weekly basis to teach and constantly improve the obedience and dog-to-handler relationship. After we take the time to guide and teach individual commands we will go on to build more positive habits and condition specific responses from your dog.

Your dog gets dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening after their training session. After each session you will meet with a trainer and go over what was covered that day. Our trainer will assign homework and tell you what needs to be practiced before their next session. Once your pup has completed Day Train, they can participate in our Group Classes!

We started our adventure in the spring of 2023 with the promise that they could help with our dogs aggressive behavior. ROLO learned the basics, but was still aggressive. After several one on one sessions which included muzzle training nothing seemed to help. He would snap when getting groomed or for no particular reason . My wife and I were very frustrated. $2400.00 for what? To learn to sit, place, etc. We contacted the owner and set up another one on one. The owner was there and treated us like children. We would never recommend sit means sit. By the way we had to put our beloved ROLO down today due to aggression issues.

They are very good with our dog. They have given us good tips on how to teach our dog commands. We are just starting the full day classes and it has been rough so far but I'm confident it will be beneficial longtime.

Our training with Gianna was fabulous. Not only did our highly reactive Belgian Shepard improve greatly, but he truly enjoyed coming to training. His tail would wag a million mph. He got so much better with recall, leash walking, and basic obedience commands. We are looking forward to continuing with more advanced classes in the future.

My dog Billie is a rescue and when we got him he was very up and down. Ever since joining Sit Means Sit everyone around him has seen a dramatic change, and one for the better. He’s now able to adapt to every environment he enters and it’s all thank to Sit Means Sit!

Our dog gained significant confidence and focus. He’s a 9 month old herding dog mix, so he is a work in progress, but we are very satisfied with how he has done so far.
