Sit Means Sit Dog Training San Diego

Tim has done amazing work with my two Shih Tzus! They definitely needed better manners and because of the training with Tim, they are on their way to being better behaved dogs.

Had an amazing experience with both Tin and Mikayla. They were very friendly and patient with us and our dog Moose! Highly recommend using them for all your dog training needs!

Tim is an excellent trainer. He showed us that even our stubborn big boy could learn to walk calmly next to us when other trainers were unable to. He is kind and firm and our dog LOVED seeing Tim each week. Looking forward to continuing the training with the group sessions.

Tim was great with our german shepherd puppy, he’s still learning a lot but has made tremendous progress with dog reactivity and his obedience. Tim has been great either allowing us to keep in contact after our move and help with any questions we’ve had along the way during training.

Would 100% recommend! Our dog Gravy was a young rescue who had trouble with anxiety and barking. He seemed to have little to no socialization with dogs when we got him, barking and lunging. And barking at any sound around him and new people. With sit means sit he learned to be confident in himself and make his own… Read full review

I found my way to Tim's location via Google Search. After the initial consultation, I am very impressed. I positive my 13 week old Labrador puppy will be well served by Tim's approach to training!

Tim is an excellent dog (and owner) trainer. Our 16 week old Weimaraner puppy Clark was quite wild and easily distracted. But he has progressed greatly with all his training, which included several one on one full day training sessions, and very brief and thorough owner training sessions upon each pick up. Tim’s… Read full review

Tim was incredible to work with, making sure I understood what to do with my dog, and helping build a strong foundation for continued training.

Thank you Tim & McKayla for helping us be a better dog owner, as well as our Duke to be a better dog. He had separation anxiety, hyperactive & very little training @ 10 months when we adopted him. We now can say after 6 weeks of your training skills for us all, Duke is 90% better. It was worth every dollar we spent… Read full review

Sit Means Sit was a wonderful experience and the results are great. Anakin listens to commands, is better on walks, and doesn’t bark when he sees other dogs. I highly recommend this training program! Thank you, Tim, and Makalay!

Tim and McKayla are amazing!!!! I went to them feeling helpless with my 7 year old dog, Maeve, who is reactive to people and other dogs. She was a covid puppy and had 2 TPLO surgeries for her hind legs. She has been through a lot and it became so overwhelming, I had no idea where to start. They broke it down and… Read full review

We cannot recommend Tim and McKayla enough! From the very beginning, they treated us like family and genuinely cared about not only Rufus, but us as owners as well. Their dedication, patience, and expertise completely transformed Rufus’s behavior. Before training, Rufus struggled with reactivity, and it often felt… Read full review

As first-time dog owners, we tried multiple ways to train our Cavapoo—YouTube videos, apps, and even a personal trainer at home. But our pup can be stubborn and strong-willed, and we were struggling with behaviors like growling and resource guarding. That’s when we came across Sit Means Sit and decided to give it a… Read full review

I have never used any type of professional services before to train my dogs, but this time, I wanted our new puppy to have the best, that’s where Sit Means Sit has been instrumental! She is a terrier/cattle mix with strong drive and energy. Tim at SMS has been great to work with, getting her through the basic steps… Read full review

Tim was fantastic from start to finish. I have a very sweet but very stubborn and energetic Husky, German Sheppard, Golden Retriever mix. I did the four week program for my girl and I can honestly say Frankie is so much better! She’s only 6 months old so I know it’ll require more work/consistency at home, but one of… Read full review

I cannot express my gratitude enough for Tim at Sit Means Sit and what he has done to help my family. Our German Shepherd, Daisy, came to Tim facing several significant challenges that affected both her quality of life and our ability to confidently take her out in public. Thanks to Tim’s knowledge, patience, and… Read full review

Our dog completed day training with Tim and it has been life changing for her and our family! She is happier and has a newfound confidence that has made walks much more enjoyable and relaxing. As soon as we met with Tim we knew he was the right choice for our dog and the training was more than worth every penny! We… Read full review

Tim and his training team were wonderful. Great training and always communicated so well. My dog enjoyed it!

We came to Sit Means Sit with our Frenchie, Thor, that was struggling with some resource guarding. Since working with Tim we have seen such an amazing difference in Thor! He is a much more relaxed and confident dog, and we are so grateful for the independence that behavioral training has given him and us!

Tim is a great trainer! We went in with our 1.5 yr old frenchie who was aggressive towards other dogs, pulled like crazy on walks and was not socialized well. We got her at 6 mos old and she got along with our boxer who is well behaved and trained. We tried everything with her, treats, repetitive training, an app… Read full review
