Sit Means Sit Dog Training San Diego is a professional dog obedience training company serving families in San Diego and surrounding areas since 2010. They offer customized training programs for dogs of all ages, breeds, and behavioral issues, including puppy training, aggression modification, anxiety management, off-leash control, and socialization. Their approach emphasizes achieving maximum control both on and off the leash while preserving the dog’s natural instincts. They provide private one-on-one lessons, day train immersion, group classes, and behavioral modification services. A key advantage is their year-long access to unlimited group classes for graduates, reinforcing training in real-world settings. Their trainers are certified and experienced in addressing issues like leash pulling, barking, separation anxiety, and reactivity.

They use remote collar-based training that is faded out within 3–4 weeks for most dogs, leaving the collar as a safety backup. Their head trainer, Tim McMillan, has 20+ years of experience and leads a team of certified professionals. They focus on individualized training plans rather than one-size-fits-all methods, and offer a free initial evaluation to assess each dog’s needs.

Additional services include Saturday group classes for graduates, behavioral training for high-distraction environments, and support for reactive, fearful, or aggressive dogs. They also sell pet supplies through their shop and offer franchise opportunities.
