Questions & answers

Hi, my dog is older (4), can he still be trained?
Absolutely! The person who coined the saying you cannot teach an old dog new tricks- was just lazy! We train all ages!

Do you train service dogs for children with Autism?
We train the level of obedience need for service dogs but not the actual task work. We can guide and coach you on the task work.

We can’t say enough great things about Sit Means Sit and especially Andy! From the very first session, Andy has been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging with our German Shepherd puppy. He took the time to understand our pup’s unique personality and gave us clear, practical tools that have made such a difference at home. Our puppy has grown so much in confidence and obedience thanks to Andy’s guidance, and we feel so much more confident as owners too. He explains everything in a way that’s easy to follow and always makes training fun and rewarding. You can tell he truly cares about both the dogs and the families he works with. We are so grateful for Andy’s help and couldn’t recommend him and Sit Means Sit more highly. If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, supportive, and genuinely amazing at what he does, Andy is the one!

Outstanding Dog Training Experience - 5 Stars! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Sit Means Sit in San Juan Capistrano! Kevin E and his incredible team worked with our four-month-old shepherd/husky mix, and the results exceeded all our expectations. What impressed us most was how Kevin and his team approached the training - they weren't just focused on training our puppy, but they made sure to train us as owners too. This comprehensive approach has made all the difference in maintaining progress at home. Their team demonstrated exceptional care, kindness, and genuine love for our dog throughout the process. You could tell they truly care about each animal they work with, which gave us complete confidence in their methods and expertise. Our shepherd/husky mix has transformed from an energetic, unfocused puppy into a well-behaved, responsive companion. The training techniques they taught us have been invaluable, and we continue to see improvement every day. I honestly can't give Kevin E and the Sit Means Sit team a high enough rating. If you're looking for professional, caring, and effective dog training in the San Juan Capistrano area, look no further. This team will exceed your expectations! Highly recommended - 5 stars without hesitation!

Sit means Sit has been a phenomenal experience for our family. Our Dog Rosie is almost 2 year old labradoodle and we could never walk her without pulling, we had to use a gentle leader and did a whole song and dance to get her to walk. Now since we have done the classes and 4 day jump start she walks effortlessly next to us with no coaxing and no leader and regular leash. It’s been life changing! She also would table surf and try to eat our food while sitting down to dinner. Now she sits on her place while we eat dinner and it’s been so enjoyable and we have our dinner time of peace again. Seriously been such a great experience. We thank you Kevin and Andy for making our experience so memorable and amazing!
I highly recommend this company to everyone who wants the best behaved doggy. I love Andy, Joel, Kevin and Megan and Whitney !!! Best wonderful most professional staff with amazing leadership with dogs. Money well spent !!! So worth it!!!!!
