This was SO worth it! I get to enjoy walking with my dog. I envied those people at the beach with their dogs, and now I am one of those people! Halle was her one on one trainer, Matt and Halle did our group classes, and now we're going to try our first distraction class with Halle. BIG SHOUT OUT TO HALLE! MATT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL, TOO! Here's the thing though... although the trainers ARE great, you have to put in some work with your dog, too. Do it! I did and my life has changed!

We found SMS through a Google search after realizing our JRT mix reactivity can cause him to be put in danger, or he could end up in a fight, which isn’t good for anyone. We also wanted to add another dog to our family with the new knowledge on how to raise a puppy. He had zero social skills and would be triggered by anything moving and loud noises (myself at fault because I just didn’t take the time to do what needed to be done when he was a pup). We just completed our 4th session, and Chase has come so far after we added a puppy and signed him up for the distraction course. Our trainer, Matt, was amazing in working with Chase providing clear instruction and communication while working with us and ourselves little boy. Chase has some much-needed skills now at learning “place” and how to walk on a leash. He even let us clip his nails which is always a fight. Our two dogs get along now, and Chase has completely become a whole new dog! Don’t think this is some miracle training you have to be willing to do the homework and listen to your trainer practicing consistency with your pet and family . Hard work pays off, and we loved this place so much that our German shepherd starts her fo

We had a wonderful training experience with Sit Means Sit. Our trainer was Kaylee and she does amazing work! Any issues that come up, I reach out to Kaylee and she advises me via email/text or brings us in for extra training. We can now enjoy our dog, enjoy our long walks together and have a peaceful home and you can’t put a price on that. But the price was very reasonable and they offer different packages to fit your budget and needs. I highly recommend

Thanks to the team at Sit Means Sit and in particular our outstanding personal trainer Kaylee, during the past two months Arlo has become more confident and is adjusting to life beyond the streets of Mexico. We always look forward to our training sessions and are grateful for the support and encouragement. We now look forward to participating in group classes so that our skills will improve. As a reactive dog owner, not only will Arlo and I benefit immensely from this lifelong learning, but our commitment to safety and wellness will also help build stronger relationships with our community.

Beyond grateful! A life-changing transformation for our rescue and my health. ​If I could give Sit Means Sit and our trainer, Ethan, a million stars, I would. ​We rescued General Grievous from Texas—a powerful mix of Pitbull, Siberian Husky, German Shepherd, and Australian Shepherd. As he grew, he developed severe leash pulling and leash aggression. Because I suffer from debilitating back and sacroiliac joint issues, his strength was becoming a serious physical danger to me. My husband and I refuse to ever give up on a rescue, but we were racing against the clock and needed our neighborhood to feel safe. ​We found Sit Means Sit after my husband kept noticing incredibly well-behaved dogs visiting his workplace; when he asked the handler who they trained with, the answer was Sit Means Sit. After a splendid consultation, we knew instantly they were the right choice and opted for the 5-day bootcamp board and train. ​Leaving Grievous for 5 days wasn't easy, but meeting Ethan put us completely at ease. He was genuinely excited to work with Grievous and assured us he was in good hands. When we picked him up, it was an absolute breath of fresh air! While he wasn’t fully finished, he had a
