My boyfriend has been bringing his dog here, and based on his experience, we enrolled my 3-year-old Staffy. Tim’s training has been incredibly effective. The improvement in my dog’s behavior has been significant—he is noticeably calmer, easier to walk, and more controlled around other dogs. Friends and family have also commented on the positive change. I highly recommend both the individual training sessions and group classes.

I’ve been working with Tim the owner and trainer who runs group classes and the results have been seriously impressive. The classes are well-structured, and Tim does a great job balancing group dynamics.
I have noticed real progress in a short amount of time. My dog is more focused, responsive, and confident than before.
If you’re looking for a trainer who knows how to get results and run a professional, organized class, I’d definitely recommend giving him a shot.

I could not be happier with Tim and his training for our rescue puppy. My husband was ready to get rid of him as he has bitten some of our friends, jumping out 7 foot fence, your up our new landscaping and ate two couches. He was constantly attacking my other sweet lab. I didn’t think there was any hope for him. He was so sweet and I had never given up on a dog before and have had many dogs and was determined to find the right Trainor for this sweet malinois mix. Thanks to Tim and his training Bentley is a keeper and will require constant training but is such a well behaved dog now and a great addition to our family.

We have had three dogs trained by Tim and McKayla including a very reactive cattle dog. The improvements made during the initial training were great but the group classes on the weekends really made a huge difference. Our cattle dog went from everyone must be herded to calm and very manageable after a few group classes. Highly reccomended!

My 15 pound rescued dog is very aggressive with other dogs especially big dogs. Trying to restrain him was dangerous for me and both dogs. I saw what a difference a neighbor's dog was after training and decided to go with SitMeansSit for their socialization classes. The trainers Macaula and Tim were so helpful and I feel these sessions worked miracles. I highly recommend them.
