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.

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…

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!

Our trainer at sit means sit did an amazing job with our puppy! Having a dog that is a German Shepard/shar pei mix, we were very nervous about how she would listen to us and react to other dogs. They worked with her over the course of 3 classes, and I feel so much better knowing that my pup has an excellent…

I didn’t have much hope that our 2 year old GSP Boone could be trained in many areas. Our goals were to have him not jump on people, be able to walk him with out being dragged on his walks. My husband was the only one to walk him and it wasn’t a pleasant experience because he just took off and dragged him. That was…

We brought our dog, Basil, to Sit Means Sit because she was stubborn and we have a newborn. Those two don’t mix! After just three sessions, she’s a completely new dog (but still her goofy, lovable self). She listens so well, stays out of our space when we need her to, and is such a joy to be around. Jo did an…
