Sit Means Sit Dog Training Syracuse

Cameron was fantastic with my puppy. Staff are very knowledgeable and getting videos on progress are alway nice to see

Great experience with the staff and trainers. My dog received a lot of valuable lessons

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.

Stella had training with Sit Means Sit Syracuse and it changed the quality of our day to day lives. She worked well with Cam and Isabel. I highly recommend their services!

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… Read full review

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… Read full review

SMS helped get my dog under control, they were the best! Continuing with weekly classes and putting all the hard work into play!

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.

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… Read full review

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… Read full review

Sit Means Sit Dog Training in Cicero NY is a fantastic business. My wife and I are both very pleased with the results we have quickly seen from our dog's training with both Nick and Jo. You can tell right away that they are professional trainers and are trying to set your dog up for success. Everyone at the business… Read full review

Wonderful trainers and facility! Everyone we worked with was extremely professional and welcoming. We first met the owner, Dave, who was very compassionate and friendly during our consultation. He related to our situation and gave us hope that his team would be able to work with our dog. Our dog ended up working… Read full review

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… Read full review

Thank you for training my highly excitable dog. Isabel and Cameron you have done a great job and I am so happy that she is trained so we can enjoy our walks . I appreciate all that you have done for her!

Dave has been Phenomenal, communicated consistently with me, taught me things I never knew about dogs and has been a blessing. He has taught both of my service dogs (one passed) and I have had so many compliments on how well trained they are. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anybody. His team is absolutely amazing… Read full review

Place is awesome. Worth every penny. Staff was accommodating and so friendly. Our primary trainer Jo was so good with basil and trained her so well. She listened to every question we had no matter the “silliness” of it and answered with kindness and knowledge each time

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… Read full review

We highly recommend Sit Means Sit. I loved the communication that this business shows. From our consultation to drop off day to mid day videos of how the day is going. Having an hour at the end of each session was very helpful for the weeks homework we did. My pups progress is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend… Read full review

Great 1st experience.

First and foremost Jo is awesome! She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about helping both dogs and their owners succeed. We’ve seen such great progress with my daughter’s dog, and we couldn’t be happier. The Day Train program has been one of the best investments we've made. Not only does it produce… Read full review

We loved Isabel! Our 6 year deaf mini Australian Sheppard is not the friendliest of doggies. He loved her and responded so well. We have learned a lot…we have lots of practicing to do! Thank you so much 😊

Jo did a fantastic job with our 5 month old puppy. He was a very excitable and strong willed guy. His sessions with Jo taught him manners and self control (most of the time…he is still a puppy) She took plenty of time to explain the how, why and what to do with Harvey and ME!! We now have the tools to keep him and… Read full review

I had a great experience with Sit Means Sit. The team answered all my questions, kept me updated on my dog’s progress, and treated him with genuine care. Jo was especially helpful, and the training built confidence for both my dog and me. I highly recommend them for caring, professional, and effective dog training.

Sit means sit was very helpful and made the process super easy for our golden retriever puppy Henry. As first time dog parents we highly recommend! Special shout out to Jo for being so knowledgeable and being a great teacher to not only Henry but for us as well! 10/10 recommend! ~ Shae & Matt

Giving a huge shoutout to everyone at Sit Means Sit, and especially to Rory’s main trainer, Jo! She has been amazing throughout this entire experience! Thank you for working so hard and making such a positive impact on our stubborn and dramatic girl! She has come a long way in her short time with you! You have… Read full review

Sit Means Sit has been such a positive experience for both my Mastiff Hugo and myself. Hugo was a nervous scared reactive dog, but with the guidance and training from Sit Means Sit he is gaining confidence. We worked with Justin and I can not say enough nice things about him. He has taught Hugo to be more confident,… Read full review

I started Frankie, my 132 pound Cane Corso/Lab, last month at Sit Means Sit. I have been truly blessed to have JoJo working with us. I went from anxiety ridden days with Frankie to being able to enjoy every moment with her. JoJo took extra time to work on me, because I was the biggest roadblock with her training.… Read full review

"Sit Means Sit" more like "Sit Means Business"! Could not be more amazed at how well they've done with my very large, very reactive puppy Frankie. It was important to find somewhere that taught with authority but not fear. Its only been 3 individual lessons but the difference is night and day. Special shout out to… Read full review

I brought my dog who barked at every animal, car or person that she came across to Sit means Sit for 3 days of dog training. What I loved is they train your dog all day on what you want them to work on and all your dogs triggers and then give you hands on lessons when you come back and pick your dog up so that you… Read full review

Took our baby girl for training. She came from a hoarding situation and had never been on a leash or taken commands. Jo, the trainer, did a great job working with our little girl.

We brought our 6 month old puppy Cali in to Sit Means Sit for training services. Every person who handled Cali was absolutely 💯 percent helpful. Not only did she learn but so did we. The very first day there was a huge difference in her. All the trainers knew exactly what they’re doing and know how to handle your… Read full review

We adopted an older puppy from a shelter that overall is pretty well mannered, but does have some fear and anxiety when meeting strangers. My husband and I were very impressed with the owner Dave, as he took his time during the consult and explained the entire training process. He went through each and every one of… Read full review

Can’t believe what Isabel, Cameron and Justin were able to teach our dog in such a short period of time! Finley was constantly pulling on the leash, barking and jumping at everyone, at times I felt overwhelmed by his actions. Now he’s a changed dog who will walk off leash, sit when told and obeys commands!! You can… Read full review

Joanna is great. She worked with my almost year old puppy. She went from barking at the neighbors excessively when they would come outside, to now just watching them. She also knows boundaries and has better listen skills. Still is a work in progress but all things in life are. It's something you have to want to… Read full review

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sit Means Sit and the impact their training has had on both my dog and my life. I started my dog there as a puppy, and he is now 9 years old. To this day, I still reinforce everything we learned through their program — and the results have truly lasted a lifetime. Before… Read full review

Sit means sit is not only a place you bring your dog to grow and develop but they become part of your life. I can't thank Cameron enough for working with my cane (Zeus) trusted in you and worked so well with you. I have seen the changed behavior and although hes still a puppy I can tell with the consistent training he will become an amazing dog. Thank you

Everyone here was absolutely amazing to work with! They truly care so much about helping teach your dog all kinds of things and work with you so you understand as well. They send you video progress reports throughout the day, as well as check ins at home to make sure everything is running smooth. Jo was mainly with… Read full review

Molly has learned a lot, so has her owner. She thrives on learning. All the staff have been absolutely wonderful and continue to show Molly be successful.

Phoebe, our goldendoodle, truly couldn’t have been in better hands with Sit Means Sit Syracuse and Isabel Marks. You can feel how much they genuinely care, and it shows in everything they do. Phoebe grew so much, and we did too, the guidance they gave us is something we’ll carry with us. So grateful for this team!

Stanley worked with both Isabelle and Jo. He learned so much in the three days. Very impressed with the progress he made. This is my second dog to attend classes and highly recommend sit means sit.

Great experience at sit means sit we had a dog that didn’t like other dogs and two times he is almost there

As previous dog owners, we found ourselves in over our heads training our high-energy rescue who is a Great Pyrenees, Siberian Husky, Lab mix. We tried books, private in-home training, and other resources to guide us but we’re finding some things would stick, others were a real struggle with our somewhat defiant and… Read full review

Isabel M was great. Patient with my dog and me. Definitely on my own part need to train myself but she gets you and your dog where you need to be. It's on the human to keep it up. Her positive energy is great and my dog gets excited to see her. He will miss training with her,but I'm excited to finish where she started with my dog's training. Thank you

Very impressed with the trainers and the facility.

Jo was amazing and she really cared about our fur baby and making sure we understood what was needed to achieve success. Totally worth it!!!

I was thoroughly satisfied with Tanners training at Sit-Means-Sit. His Trainer was Jo, she was fabulous. She had patients of a Saint. She explained everything in easy to understand terms. Then had us work with him to be sure we understood and could apply the techniques. I also love that the price includes… Read full review

Jo was fantastic! She made training simple, effective, and enjoyable. I saw a huge difference in my dog’s behavior and focus, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Sit Means Sit and her to anyone looking for a great trainer! They know their stuff!

Joanna was my dog’s trainer for two of our sessions. I was truly impressed with her skill level and ability to work with my dog Toto so successfully. Joanna took time to explain every step of his training. She had me practice what had been taught and gave me clear directions on how to work with Toto at home. Videos… Read full review

Jo worked with Nyla and I. She was very professional and made herself available whenever I had a question.

I recently enrolled my high-energy German Shorthaired Pointer, Buck, in dog training classes with Jo, and I can’t recommend her enough! Jo is an incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and positive trainer who truly understands working breeds like pointers. From the very first session, she had Buck focused and engaged,… Read full review

We had such a wonderful experience with Sit Means Sit Dog Training and couldn’t be happier with the results for our puppy, Barley! After just three training sessions with Joanna, Barley truly became a changed dog. The difference in his behavior, focus, and responsiveness has been incredible to see. Joanna was… Read full review

We took our puppy to Sit Means Sit. Dave was terrific explaining the service and training plan. Isabel worked with our crazy puppy and turned her into a princess. Isabels caring patience both with Abbey and us was so amazing. We felt safe leaving her there for training and looked forward to picking her up to see… Read full review

I cannot possibly say enough about our experience with everyone at Sit Means Sit. From the initial consultation with Dave, all the way through training with Justin, absolutely incredible experience. I swear, Justin is some sort of magician. After spending one day, only 6 hours with him, our corgi came home a… Read full review

Joanna was amazing! I am so very pleased with my dog’s training and would definitely recommend her and Sit means Sit to every dog owner!.

We decided to try Sit Means Sit for our two boys who are quite the handful. I was a little nervous for about 5 seconds. After meeting David & the other trainers, specifically Justin, Cameron, Jo and Elly, my fears were gone. These trainers obviously love what they are doing & are excellent at it. To see how our… Read full review

Amazing experience well worth investment. Trainers that care and a system that works.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Worth the money! All the trainers I interacted with were amazing. My dog and I worked with Justin. He was incredible with my dog. He genuinely cared about her and was constantly asking what else I wanted to work on. I will certainly be back for the group classes!

I would recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone! We have a nervous rescue chiweenie mix who has long struggled with walking with anybody except me & reacting on walks to people and dogs. By the end of her 3 days she was walking on a loose leash in a public place with a trainer and even staying when the trainer set her… Read full review

Cam and Jo were fantastic with my two lab puppies!! After one training session, there was significant improvement that was noticeable to all our friends and family. By the end, they were completely different dogs. They both did an excellent job of ensuring we understood how to keep up the training at home and… Read full review
