My French bulldog attended training for resource guarding. Per the contract, I was under the impression that the program included six classes; however, I believe my dog only received five. While my dog did become slightly calmer after learning some basic skills, the primary issue—resource guarding—was not resolved. The trainers’ own dogs are constantly trained and rely heavily on shock collars, which appears to be the main method this company uses and promotes. One thing that deeply concerned me is that my dog consistently came home with the same amount of food that I sent with him, which raises questions about how the training was conducted. Ultimately, I paid $2,200 for a training approach centered around a shock collar—something that can be purchased online and learned through publicly available resources. Based on my experience, if your dog needs behavioral training, I would recommend hiring a personal trainer instead, which is often far more effective and significantly less expensive.

Sit Means Sit – Ocoee Dog Training School (MIchele, Jill, Deanna & Relena) Sit Means Sit has truly been a god-sent blessing for our family. We enrolled in their six-month program, which started with six one-on-one private sessions and then transitioned into group classes. What impressed us most was their honesty and commitment to results. They quickly realized that our dogs weren’t quite ready to be promoted to group classes and needed additional one-on-one, all-day training sessions instead. Whatever they did during that time felt like absolute magic — because the transformation was incredible. Our dogs learned how to walk properly on leash without pulling, their overall behavior became noticeably calmer and more controlled, and they were far more well-mannered and responsive. The difference was night and day. Before Sit Means Sit, we were honestly losing patience and didn’t know what else to do. The trainers didn’t just work with our dogs — they gave us the tools, techniques, and confidence we needed to continue reinforcing good behavior at home. The team is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. We are beyond grateful for their dedication and expertise. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or at your wit’s end, Sit Means Sit is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend! 🐾
We enrolled our dog Thor in the Sit Means Sit training program because we needed help with his barking. The trainers were patient, professional, and really took the time to work with him. We saw a big improvement and feel much more confident handling Thor now. We’re very happy with the experience and would recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone looking for help with their dog.
Had a great experience with their dog training for both of our dogs. Relena was great with our dogs.
