Testimonials

“Sit means Sit dog training is amazing! I highly recommend this place to anyone. Our trainer Mike, did an absolutely amazing job on our dog Little Sparrow. We got the 10 day boarding bundle, and he was trained to a 10 day standard in 5 days! The staff and facility are incredible, and everyone was very helpful and friendly.”
– Chaise M.

“I sent my two dogs off for 10 days of training and I wish I had done it sooner. The change in them was amazing. There is no longer constant barking in the house, I am not worried about passing other dogs or people on walks, my doodle has more confidence, and my other dog doesn’t pull my arm off anymore. Skylar was the one that worked with them and she is great. Highly recommend Sit Means Sit.”
– Andrea & Russ H.

“We had a great experience with Loren at Sit Means Sit! He helped our dog learn e-collar training, and the improvement in recall has been huge. Loren was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about helping both dogs and owners succeed.”
