Sit Means Sit Dog Training San Diego

If you're looking for an obedience training program that will teach you and your pup to be successful, I highly recommend Sit Means Sit and Tim's team! As soon as I picked up my 8 week old Belgian Malinois, I began searching for the right training program. I met with Tim weeks before we could start training, and from the start he was professional and very insightful to prepare me for obedience training. Tim and his team are honest and provide an immense amount of support to ensure you and your pup are supported and successful. One of my favorite things about working with Sit Means Sit is the ongoing Saturday morning obedience sessions. If you are committed to the ongoing practice of teaching your pup, the obedience training and tools you learn from Tim and his team work! I'm very grateful for the encouragement and enthusiasm from Tim!

I have nothing but praise for Tim’s Sit Means Sit program. He and his staff are great to work with, and I appreciate that all their processes are easy and well-organized. More importantly, their training is top-notch with ongoing support and benefits to the dogs. My spouse and I have been blown away by the results. Not only are our dogs now obedient and manageable, but they’re calm, happy, and we have a much closer relationship. What impressed us most is how the basics (sit, stay, come, loose leash walking) seemed to magically address all kinds of pesky habits (barking, begging, jumping, etc.). Before we wouldn’t dare let them off leash without a full fence. We thought we were going to have to add yard walls and gates to allow the dogs to run loose. But now they stay in our yard, come and go when asked, and get to zoomie and play freely without leashes and lines. They no longer bark at neighbors or chase birds and rabbits to off-limits places. I don’t think we specifically trained to leave our neighbors and wildlife alone, but now everyone enjoys our time outdoors a lot more! We haven’t fully taken advantage of the Saturday group training classes yet, but that’s our next step (and is included in the package). We know the socialization around strangers and other dogs will enable our dogs to be well-mannered in social and public settings, and we’re looking forward integrating our furry family members in even more aspects of our lives. So yes, I highly recommend Tim’s program and can sum it up by saying it’s truly changed our lives for the better. Game-changing!!

We took our mini dachshund Maverick to be trained by Tim and Ashley back in spring of 2021, and it was the best decision we’ve ever made! Maverick completed the 4 week package of training at Sit Means Sit for the day and then moved on to weekly group classes every Saturday after that. The value and quality of training that the dogs get with this program is unmatched. Maverick is social with other dogs and still practices all of the commands he learned during the year we went to group classes. Can’t thank Tim, Ashley, and Kate enough for being there every Saturday willing to help the dogs live better lives. Our only regret is that our year ran out and Maverick “graduated”. If you’re considering this program and community for your dog, sign up ASAP! You won’t regret it
