My dog, Doggy, is currently enrolled in the Feisty Fido class and the transformation has been incredible. After just a few sessions, he’s already noticeably less reactive on walks and able to self-regulate in situations that used to overwhelm him. Also, he can now sit calmly on a patio and watch people walk by without throwing a fit or growling. The trainers understand reactive dogs and teach the owner exercises that make a real difference in everyday life. I’m looking forward to watching him continue to grow and improve.
Our pup Little Brother is truly a changed boy thanks to Sit Means Sit! Before training, he struggled with consistency and sometimes had a hard time listening when there were distractions around. From the very first session, we were impressed with how much progress he made and how quickly he began to understand what was expected of him. Madison and Christian are absolutely wonderful! They bring such positive, calm, and confident energy to every session. They not only have a deep understanding of dogs and their behavior, but they also do an incredible job of teaching us as owners how to reinforce the training at home. They were patient with our questions, explained everything in clear steps, and celebrated every bit of progress with us. We especially appreciated how personalized the training felt. They took the time to get to know Little Brother’s personality and adjusted the approach to what motivated him most. With their guidance, he’s now walking calmly on a leash, responding reliably to commands, and showing so much more confidence. We can honestly say this program has made a huge difference in our lives with him. The training not only gave Little Brother the structure he needed, but it gave us the tools and confidence to continue building on his success. We couldn’t recommend Madison, Christian, and the Sit Means Sit team more highly!
Highly recommend Sit Means Sit for dog training! As a first time dog owner, I was very unprepared for handling my high energy pup. Thanks to Ashley, he is now on his way to being the best boy ever! We did day camp which allowed us to have weekly lessons with easy to follow instructions, making the learning process much more manageable. Now that he has graduated day school, we are looking forward to group classes where we can continue our training. Thank you Sit Means Sit for the care and expertise of each of your trainers!!
sit means sit has truly been Chuck’s saving grace!! As an owner of a reactive dog, this facility has truly transformed our life. Chuck has learned how to properly walk on a leash (no more intense pulling to wherever she wanted to go), stay focused on us in hard situations with a lot of distractions (total game changer with where we are able to walk her now), and is way less of a menace when we have company over (no more jumping and scratching people as soon as they walk in the door from excitement). I could go on and on about the incredible behavioral changes I’ve seen in Chuck, I truly am such a proud fur baby mom, and it is all thanks to sit means sit. If you are looking for a training facility that actually works (especially for reactive dogs) this is the place to go. Being able to let Chuck go out and explore the world because we have the tools and training to tackle whatever challenge may arise is truly the best feeling I never thought I’d have. Thanks Maddison and the sit means sit team!!!
I wish I could give more stars. Madison and Christian are incredible trainers. Everything about our whole process was amazing and we are so happy we chose Sit Means Sit to help out our boy Whiskey. We came here with a rescued Pitty who had fear aggression towards dogs and people. Just a week before our first session we had an incident that made us nervous about the future and even keeping him. After 4 weeks, he is completely transformed and on the path to having an amazing life! All thanks to Madison and Christian for working with him, and us, and providing all the tools and knowledge we need to allow Whiskey to have the best life possible. The in person lessons that follow a day of training are super helpful and interactive. They broke down everything they did and helped us to learn how to continue the training while at home. Whiskey is so much more comfortable around other dogs and people and he has improved significantly with commands and being on leash. If you’re looking for dog training of kind, Sit Means Sit is the place to go! We are excited to keep learning and getting better with Whiskey and we will be attending group classes moving forward to continue socializing with him. Thank you so much Madison and Christian!
