Testimonials
“Alex and his staff were great to work with and went above and beyond when caring for and training our miniature Dachshund.”
– Austin M.
“I enrolled my Great Dane, Malley, in the 2 week immersion program. She has been home now for 3 days and I am completely amazed how much this program has done for her. Prior to the immersion program, Malley was the “boss.” She listened very little and had become a bully to one of my other dogs. So bad, in fact, for nearly a month and a half prior to enrollment the two had to be kept in separate rooms of the house and were forced to take turns spending time with the entire family. She is doing amazingly well since returning home and has significantly responded to all the training methods in which this wonderful company teaches.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff within this facility. From my initial consultation with Alex, to the professionalism of Amy, and the outstanding training from Nancy, Sit Means Sit deserves more than just the 5 stars I’m allowed to rate them. Thank you to everyone for the great care and training you’ve provided to my 4 legged kid!!! I’m eternally grateful and look forward to utilizing this establishment for Malley’s on going education as well as some training for a couple others in my pack!!!”
– Amy W.
