I have an 8 month bernedoodle, Binks. He has a lot of sass and we were not communicating efficiently. It was extremely hard to have guests over when all he wanted to do was jump on everyone and bite their hands. I was embarrassed he wouldn’t listen to me, and my friends and family have several destroyed or ripped clothes from his bad behavior. As time went on, he kept getting bigger and more out of control. It became more difficult on me with the way he treated my family, he ran the house and didn’t listen. I was desperate for help and tried some training classes and at home training, but nothing worked. I am so thankful for Kerry! She came over to see how Binks was and within minutes she had him listening. Kerry had Binks for a 10 day training and this was the best decision I have made for my relationship with Binks. He is now a true gentleman and listens. He still has the same odd ball personality but with manners. We practice 30 minutes a day, 15 min in the morning and 15 min at night, and I am in awe with how great of a dog Binks is now! The hardest part was being away for 10 days, but let me tell you, it is worth it in the long run. I would recommend Sit Means Sit to everyone! Kerry is super personable and you can see her passion and love for dogs!

I was torn up thinking I was going to have to get rid of or put my dog to sleep for biting a family member. After doing some research, I was lucky enough to have found Kerry through the Sit Means Sit site. After an almost 2 week stay, My dog is completely different. I always thought he listened to me but after the work Kerry did, I realized he was probably just laughing at me 😂. He is still working on some things but I have to say, I am very happy with the training Kerry did and continues to do with group/1:1.

Kerry is AMAZING with dogs and their owners. She is straightforward, positive, and flexible. We were feeling pretty frustrated with our "spirited" golden retriever, but after board & train she is now so pleasant and fun to be around. This training works. Thank you, Kerry!!!

Kerry and her staff are awesome! We came to them after adopting Sofi, who had zero impulse control, especially around other dogs. She even bit my mom's dog. After boarding and training with Kerry and her staff, the change in Sofi has been amazing! This morning we attended a group class with several other dogs (and even more dogs walking through the park where class was held) and Sofi was sooo good!! We still have some work to do, but she's come so far. I was a very proud dog mom today. I don't know where we'd be without Kerry. Highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience, we have 1 year old male Great Dane that we had no control over. If he ran away we would have one of our kids lay on the ground, so he would go to them and I would stand in the middle of the street to avoid a car hitting him.

We had such a wonderful experience, we have 1 year old male Great Dane that we had no control over. If he ran away we would have one of our kids lay on the ground, so he would go to them and I would stand in the middle of the street to avoid a car hitting him. We called sit means to sit as recommended by my friend who also used them. We are beyond happy, our whole family walk him including our 7 year old can without being dragged down the street! The best was he got out the front door as I was grabbing something, I called Duke come; he ran back to me right away!! If you are looking for compassionate and passionate dog trainers, this is the company!! They listened to what we needed for our family and tailored his program to our needs!!
