Sit Means Sit has really helped my dog, Shrimp, come a long way in obedience! He has adapted really well with e-collar engagement and does great when we practice heel sit at home. Ashley, Jared, and Taz have been amazing support for Shrimp, since he is a reactive/anxious little guy! Shout out to Ashley for working with him during his 1:1 sessions!! Group classes have been great practice for Shrimp to be around other dogs at a safe distance, Taz is an awesome teacher! As for Jared, Shrimp seems to take a liking to him especially!
Thanks Sit Means Sit team for everything, and I can't wait to continue seeing Shrimp's progress!

Lily, thank you so much for this amazing review! The entire team is so grateful for your kind words and so pleased to have been a helpful part of Shrimp's training journey. Keep up the amazing work!
Sit means sit is the best! The trainers really care and take such great care of my dog.
The training method works so well! Our dog is not food motivated at all. The e-collar is like tapping our dog to get her attention. She responds very well to the “taps”.
They also send the cutest update pictures! Our dog is very expressive with her emotions and smiles every time she’s there!

Thank you so much for this stellar review, Morgan! We are so happy that our training is working so well for your pup! Don't forget about the group classes, we'd love to see you there! Keep up the amazing work!
Sage has been doing SO well since starting training here! I’ve noticed such a big difference, especially with her heeling and how well she responds to commands now. Walks are so much easier and I feel like we understand each other a lot better.
Everyone we’ve worked with has been patient, helpful, and great about not only training Sage, but teaching me what I need to be doing with her at home too. She’s made so much progress already and I’m really excited to keep working with her. So happy we decided to bring her here!

Thank you so much for the kind words! It truly means everything to us. Keep up the great work SAGE and SOFHIA!
Sit Means Sit has been amazing!! Taz, Jared, and Ashley are all wonderful with my Bernese Mountain Dog puppy! Lottie is doing obedience training to be a therapy dog at Dell Children’s and I can already tell the difference in her impulse control and maturity! They extended hours so I could have her in enrichment days the long shifts I work at the hospital and they are always willing to work with my schedule! I appreciate them so much and I can tell they really care for Lottie!! Taz has been the best trainer ever for her!!

Thank you so much for this stellar review, Alyssa! We are so glad you are enjoying group classes, we try to make them just as fun as they are educational! Keep up the amazing work and we'll see you and your pup again soon at group!
Jarod and Taz are wonderful trainers and have been an enormous help with our little dog Roux. Roux has been pulling less on the leash when we walk and is more receptive to commands and staying in place. The trainers go above and beyond to ensure your dog gets the tailored care needed to help them excel in their training. Would recommend.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Rachael! We are over the moon that you and Roux enjoyed training with us and are seeing improvements! We are excited to see how much more progress Roux can make over your next 6 months of group classes! We'll see you again soon!
I’ve had a great experience so far with all the trainers at Sit Means Sit!! I worked with both Tas and Ashley for private lessons and the difference in my pup’s recall and focus is unreal. The group glasses have also been great to reinforce when she (and I!) need to practice at home.

Thank you so much for these kind words, Jessie! It's been such a pleasure working with you and your pup, thank you for allowing us to share in your training journey! We'll see you both again soon at group class!
We did the 6 week program and Ashley was our main trainer. She was very articulate, not only in training the dogs, but helping us learn too! She's patient, and her enthusiasm is infectious!
Our pug Captain always looked forward to going ti his classes :)
Now we'll be joining group classes!

The team is amazing. My dog is now able to go on walks and not pull or bark. Which has been the best since I have a stroller in one hand . Thank you Sit Means Sit
