Everyone there is so wonderful and kind. Both to me, and to my dog Rip. The three day training classes provided has seen immediate improvement in his temperament. Would recommend to anyone looking to get some training for their pet. It's a little pricey up front, but the value for the life of your pet makes it worth it in the long run.
Amazing experience, talented staff! They helped my dog really get into a healthy training routine. I wouldn’t take my dogs anywhere else for training.

We are so thrilled to have found a place that was able to get our dog the best training money can buy. Sit Means Sit does such a great job.

My family decided to get a puppy this summer after years of not having a dog. The kids are in college and mom and dad‘s schedule has slowed down a little bit so we thought now was a good time. I found I had a lot more questions than I thought I did about what are the best things to do for our dog. After hearing good things about Sit Means Sit we made an appointment and met with Dave. After hearing the things Dave had to say and seeing the facility we signed Wright up. We did some puppy training classes until she was old enough to do the all day trainings. I will admit I had no idea how much we as adults were going to learn about taking the best care of our new family member. Every single trainer that we have had was wonderful and efficient. Our whole family would attend the training sessions and everybody has different goals for the dog. I believe with the help of that means set she will have the best life any dog has ever had. Everyone I have spoken to from the front desk staff, trainers to the owner himself have been kind and patient and truly listened to our needs. I have learned that consistency along with constant learning and socialization has made this experience with this puppy better than what we had done with their previously. While talking to the trainers about our lifestyle, they also had good ideas on Waze to incorporate the dog into things I had not thought of. I very much look forward to doing more classes and trainings. This puppy has gone golfing, swimming, to the dog park, to a cow farm and has been able to really stay contained and well behaved and safe. I will for sure say every trainer at this facility not only has dogs of their own, but I’ll have interesting lifestyles in the stories they share about how they have trained. Their dogs is amazing. Isabel is one of our favorite trainers. She and I communicate in a similar manner as she is very straightforward and is great about explaining how to set your dog up for success. She is also patient and does not mind that I probably asked some of the same questions several times. I have even reached out to her a couple times when I did not have an appointment and she reached out to me when she was able, and that was very helpful.
Shannon, thank you so much for the wonderful review. We're so happy we've been a part of your story with such a fun dog. I remember when you first came in and Khaleesi was so small and just slept. She now has so much more energy! Keep up the great work with her and again, thank you for the kind words.
We are so thrilled to have found a place that was able to get our dog the best training money can buy. Sit Means Sit does such a great job. Their staff, especially Justin, is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and they take a very detailed oriented approach to training dogs of all backgrounds. I can’t speak highly enough about Justin, and how good he is with dogs. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their dogs in training!
Chris, thank you so much for the great review. We really appreciate it. Yes, we're extremely lucky to have Justin. He's a tremendous asset to our team and I'm happy to hear what a great experience you've had with him.
SMS helped get my dog under control, they were the best! Continuing with weekly classes and putting all the hard work into play!
Renee, thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was great training Hazel. Keep up the great work!!
Jo and Isabel did a great job training my dog in only 3 sessions. Such a difference. I’ll be recommending friends and family to sit means seat.
Dillon, thank you so much for the great review. We really appreciate it. So happy you've seen the progress in just a few weeks. Keep it up!!
My husband and I brought our one year old wild puppy here and it was truly the best decision that we made. Our dog has learned so many new commands and actually is following them at home! The staff is absolutely incredible. From the owner, to the front desk, to their trainers! Their trainer Jo is truly so incredible! She is very personable and extremely amazing with our dog! Jo is great at teaching not only just our dog but also us! She always answers any questions we have and shows us everything! We can always tell at pick up that our dog absolutely loves Jo and has had the best day! We truly cannot say enough good things about this program and the staff!
Tori, thank you so much for the great review. We're so happy Loki has improved so much. Customer service is huge for us, so we're thrilled you had such a great experience with everyone here. Keep it up and let us know if you need anything in the future.
