We had a very good experience working with Dave at Sit Means Sit. From our first meeting, Dave was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in helping both my dog and me improve. He took the time to understand my dog's behavior, explain the training process, and answer my questions in a way that was easy to understand. What stood out to me was Dave's ability to adapt the training to my dog's specific needs and personality. He provided practical techniques that were easy to practice at home and gave useful guidance on how to reinforce good habits between sessions. His calm and patient approach helped make the training process less stressful for both me and my dog. Throughout the program, Dave was supportive and encouraging. He focused not only on teaching my dog commands and better behavior but also on helping me become more consistent and confident as a handler. The lessons were clear, and I felt like I always had a better understanding of what I needed to work on after each session. The results have been noticeable. My dog is more responsive, listens better, and is generally easier to manage in everyday situations. While training is always an ongoing process, we've ma

This was our second time working with Dave at Sit Means Sit, and once again, he exceeded our expectations. This time, he helped us train our 9-month-old Golden Retriever, and the results have been incredible. What sets Dave apart is that he doesn't just train your dog—he teaches you how to be a better handler. He took the time to explain not only what to do, but also the logic behind the training methods, which gave us the confidence to continue reinforcing everything at home. Throughout the entire process, Dave was patient, encouraging, and always willing to answer any questions we had. No matter how small the concern, he made sure we understood the training and felt supported every step of the way. It's obvious that Dave genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. He truly wants you and your furry friend to succeed, and his passion for what he does shines through in every interaction. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Dave and Sit Means Sit to anyone looking for exceptional dog training. Thank you, Dave, for helping us build an even stronger bond with our dog!

I can't believe the difference in my Millie. She was completely untrained and is 5 years old. Dave has taught me so much on how to handle Millie. Not only does he train the dog, he helps you understand how to continue developing your relationship with your dog. Millie would dig under my fence and bolt for hours and hours. Now, I can let her walk off leash at Lowes. Simply amazing! Best part is that Dave is always there for you texting and sending pics or whatever you need. This was one of the best decisions I have made as a dog owner. My other dog is next!

UPDATE: I wanted to provide an update now that it has been a few months since Banks' initial training. Just last week, he joined me on a PACKED beach completely off leash. He didn't approach a single person unless I gave him the green light. The self control he displays now is simply impressive. I am so excited to enjoy more activities like this, this summer with him! INITIAL POST: My sweet, crazy boy Banks just turned 1 years old. Although I did my best to teach him his basic manners, I knew I needed additional help with his (selective) listening & off leash skills. Dave was truly genuine right from the beginning - he wanted to address each and every behavioral concern I had. As soon as I dropped him off, I received pictures of all of the progress he was making throughout the day. Not to be dramatic, but it has been life changing for our family. He now walks right beside me without pulling, can play at the dog park off leash with complete control and recall, I can sit and enjoy dinner at a public patio, and family/friends can come over to a calm and collected pup. Banks is still his happy and goofy self, but with self control. I can't recommend Dave enough. As if we couldn't love

Sit Means Sit Dog Training has truly changed our lives and our dog’s life for the better. Our 6-year-old Australian Shepherd needed structure, and the results have been amazing. Dave worked so well with our dog Delilah and made a huge difference. She now walks calmly without pulling, listens to commands, and is much more relaxed at home. Having people over is no longer stressful it’s actually enjoyable. We’re so grateful for the positive impact this training has had on our everyday life.
