Testimonials
“Sit Means Sit have helped my dogs Cali and Cooper so much! I’ve seen an improvement in both of them. They genuinely care about you and your dogs. 10/10 I’d recommend”
– Robin J
“I want to say thank you Trent and all of the staff! My dog had trouble socializing again and with walking on a leash. He would lunge towards other dogs and bark uncontrollably. I felt so helpless trying to get his attention again and stop him from barking. He is now walking by my side, friendly with other dogs and people.”
– Lex A
