Testimonials
“I recently completed the 10-Day dog training program with Mishka (Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd) and I couldn’t be happier with the results! When we first started, Mishka struggled with commands, jumping on people and behaviors around my 1 year old child. JonPaul Frink and the crew had exceptional patience, structure, and clear communication which made a huge difference. What really stood out was how personalized the sessions were. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, JonPaul Frink and the crew took the time to understand Mishka’s personality and learning style. They gave me simple, practical tools I could use at home, and the progress was noticeable almost immediately. Now my Mishka is: More confident, Better behaved around distractions, Responding to commands consistently, A joy to walk and train with every day, And enjoying being around my child. I highly recommend SIT MEANS SIT to anyone looking to build a better relationship with their dog and see real results. Truly a fantastic experience from start to finish.”

“Sit means sit has been nothing short of amazing. We originally found ourselves looking for training due to him continuously trying to eat clothing and terrorizing our cats. He also struggled to listen and showed little to no impulse control with distractions. Previously, we were doing treat training him, but found as soon as the food was put away; he stopped listening and became defiant. After the free consult, we decided on the day training plus option. Oliver was hesitant at first, and as a concerned dog mom I spoke up. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and gave me extra reassurance that this was the correct decision. They took extra time with me, and walked me through many of their training techniques. They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, and Oliver was getting what he needed. By day 2, Ollie was excited to be there and ready to learn. He has come SO far. Now, we have a dog that responds to commands including a more reliable recall, door manners, and learned impulse control. He has so much more confidence, and still loves to be a puppy with boundaries now. I highly recommend this team as they are intuitive, compassionate and just overall good at what they do. Their own dogs have been trained in the same way, and that should provide reassurance to anyone thinking about doing the same training. We can’t wait to start group training, and continue to watch him continue to grow in his skills. Thank you to Jodi, JP, Kelly, Cody and Diana.”

“Striker is doing really well with his training. This has reinforced his listening and recall skills. I’m so happy with the program and the staff. Striker gets excited when we pull into the drive. He seems to love it. The cost of boarding and training is worth every penny. The facility is immaculate. There is plenty of space for play as well as training. I recommend this for anyone wanting a better bond with their dog and a happy well trained companion.”
