Sit Means Sit Dog Training Richmond

JP and his staff are phenomenal! I brought my Great Dane puppy in for a consultation after seeing an ad for Sit Means Sit on Instagram. My dog liked JP the second we walked in the door. JP explained to me how the program works and showed me how well his dog was trained, and then did a few things with my dog. I was absolutely blown away at how quickly my dog picked it up and how well he responded to JP. After my consultation, I was absolutely certain that this was the program for my pup. I signed him up for the 10 day board and train - I was nervous about my dog being away from me for two weeks (had him back home for the weekends) but I knew that he was in great hands with JP, Jasmine and the rest of the trainers at SMS. Our biggest struggle with my dog was helping him control his behavior around children. My dog is very large (Great Dane) and doesn’t totally understand that kids are small, considering they are the same size that he is. After 2 weeks with JP, my dog can now go ANYWHERE off leash and doesn’t pay much attention to children when they are around. JP and his staff are absolutely wonderful and and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I took my pitbull Moose to Sit Means Sit back in November 2020 and it was the greatest decision ever. I felt so comfortable and confident having Moose around dogs and in public. I wanted to do everything to avoid the “Pitbull Sitgma” and wanted Moose to be able to enjoy his life without the worry of him not being trained. Moose LOVED the weekend classes, making friends, and of course JC (trainer). 10/10 highly recommend Sit Means Sit!!!

Went on a weeklong vacation, and started researching board and train programs for my 5yo pittie rescue Tater. I thought why not get him trained properly while I’m away on vacation. We ended up doing the 10 day program, and Tater was SUPER receptive to the e-collar. My dog is a pretty hard headed, stubborn boy, and sometimes doesn’t listen to regular leash pressure. He now walks like a DREAM on our daily walks, no tugging whatsoever!! Tater already knew “sit”, “stay”, and “down” but they really helped reinforce the listening and keeping attention to the leash holder. He used to fixate on dogs while walking, and freeze in place, but now he can walk by dogs without a care in the world. Now I will tell you, this program doesn’t “fix” everything. Tater still gets very overexcited when meeting people, and he is still very dog selective and doesn’t get along with every dog. BUT Sit Means Sit really helped me with remaining in charge and having my dog listen to me. It’s also a BIG plus that their services include LIFETIME training support and tune-up classes!!! :)
