I appreciate the professional approach the trainers used in providing instructions to me and my dog. My dogs response to commands has improved a 1000 percent. Thanks
Genuinely one of the best things I’ve done for my dog! After adopting my dog who had severe fear aggression and behavioral issues, Kris and his team turned him into a new dog and gave him a whole new life. He’s now such a loving, silly, and playful dog and I do not think he would have had the ability to be this dog if it weren’t for SMS! I constantly recommend for any kind of training needs. Amazing people who genuinely care about your dog, know what they’re talking about, and always provide such great service! Could never thank them enough for all they’ve done.
This training is the best thing you will ever do for yourself and your dogs! Our heck on wheels, wild, 4yo rival French Bulldog brothers are like brand new dogs - calm and obedient. Kris and his team are absolutely fantastic and were so flexible working with our schedule to get these boys trained. We now have wonderful dogs who listen and make us proud in public because when we say sit it means sit! Don’t wait - train them NOW! You’re just 1 week away from amazing dogs - it was the best money we’ve ever spent and the most reasonable prices in the area. It will make everyone in the home happy!
Kris and his staff are all amazing! We tried some online classes that didn’t help. When we found out Kris, and met him it was a perfect match. He takes the dog for the day and practice what they worked on, he would show us one on one what was taught during the day and when we would get there Kris was there making sure we teach the dog properly. We are now in group class and Kris is super patient and worked our dog during the entire class. I would recommend anybody thinking about training their dog to look into Sit Means Sit. The staff is great, and you will be very happy using this company.
I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with the incredible dog training company Sit Means Sit who has worked wonders with my 5-year-old adopted German Shepherd. Adopting an older dog often comes with unique challenges, but thanks to the expertise and dedication of this company, my journey has been nothing short of miraculous. From the very first consultation, it was evident that Kris possessed an exceptional understanding of canine behavior, particularly with rescue dogs. Kris and Tina took the time to get to know my dog's history, temperament, and specific needs, crafting a personalized training program that addressed every concern I had. My German Shepherd had struggled with reactive issues, but the trainer's patient and compassionate approach made all the difference. Their positive reinforcement techniques, combined with clear and consistent guidance, helped my dog gain confidence and trust in a remarkably short time. One of the most impressive aspects of the training was the focus on strengthening the bond between me and my dog. Kris and Tina not only taught my German Shepherd essential commands and good manners but also educated me on how to communicate effectively with him. The progress my dog has made is truly astounding. He is now well-behaved, responsive, and much more relaxed in various environments. The transformation has been so profound that friends and family often comment on how well-trained my German Shepherd appears. In addition to the remarkable results, Kris and Tina’s professionalism and dedication are commendable. They were always well-prepared and always invested in my dog's success. Their passion for their work shines through, making the training experience enjoyable and rewarding for both me and my dog. I totally recommend Sit Means Sit and cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing training I received. Their expertise, kindness, and unwavering commitment have changed my German Shepherd for the better. If you are looking for a trainer who can make a real difference in your dog's behavior and overall well-being, look no further. My 5-year-old German Shepherd is living proof of the incredible impact a skilled and compassionate trainer can have.
