About Sit Means Sit Dog Training Pittsburgh

We want you to enjoy life with your dog. Our training system teaches you and your dog how to use basic commands to combat difficult situations. We focus on attention first. What does that mean for you? What is difficult for one person may be a leash walk, while difficult for another person may be greeting a guest at home. We recognize that every dog and family has a different reason for calling us. That is why our focus on attention is so important. But you won't know until you see it. Be sure to check out our videos. Schedule the free consultation. We can't wait for the opportunity to show you how much we can help.

What people have asked about this business.

Didnt see anything about prices on website. Are they expensive?

It is all dependent on your needs and what program you choose (group lessons, at home training, day training etc) we found the price to be well worth it with all our package included

Question on Google
Do you only train big dogs? I have a 6 mo old cavachon and she is out of control. Smart but bad. Big problems with potty training and chewing

They train all kinds of dogs. Bloodhounds to Yorkies. You can even get private lessons! Hope this helps.

10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!! Best decision I finally made. I have had several trainers to work with my Jack Russell Terriers but never seems to follow through I have contacted Sit Means Sit Pittsburgh about 3 times and they never judged me they continued to work with me until I was ready to fully commit. The trainers have been so patient with me and my pups who admittedly were complete monsters before they helped us. They encouraged my commitment and trained ME to help with their out of control behavior. My house is so much less chaotic. They have been flexible with my schedule and offer support whenever I need it. Don't hesitate sign your pups up!

Great training. Everyone so caring and helpful. Couldn’t ask for a nicer better group of ladies to train both me and my dog.

My baby still has two appts but i am overjoyed with the work that these girls have done with me and my dog. I used to be anxious to take him outside because he would pull, bark at other dogs and has broken a harness or two trying to play when it wasnt the time to. He has now done a complete 180 and again we still have two appts to go. There is absolutely no pull on leash anymore. Distractions are lessening the more ive been working on attention with him, the way they taught me. I think the best part is his walks are fun now, ive been taking him on the longest night walks because theres no stress to it anymore. I dont have to prepare my arms or be worried about another dog walking by us anymore and thats a blessing and a half.

The staff was very professional and patient with my puppy. They spent a great deal of time explaining the activities they worked on for the day and had me physically demonstrate the training techniques at home. Additionally they kept us well informed about the amount of food my puppy consumed for the training period and how many times he potties. We had a great experience with the high energy and devoted staff .

My dog Scooter has anxiety issues & was very reactive. He bit another dog on our street injuring him. My vet recommended training with Sit Means Sit. Scooter worked with Kelly and the change has been amazing. He follows commands so much better, walks without pulling and is less reactive. Kelly even brought a distraction dog to a home visit so we could practice walking past other dogs. We even practiced strangers coming into home and the doorbell rings. I know he will need continued practice but I could not be more pleased. Great job Kelly!
