Oh, where oh where do I start this review? I have a 14-year-old daughter that is high functioning autistic, and for years we have been talking about getting a dog that can help her through her rough times throughout her daily routine. We decided to get her a Golden-Doodle, and if you have ever been around one, they are very friendly, very active, with that being said I knew she needed some kind of dog training. With all the resources and research, I came across Sit Means Sit Company, after doing massive research on them I decided to do a free, yes, I SAID FREE consultation and get more information about them. Once I walked into the business, I already felt comfortable and welcomed by the owner Teddy. At the consultation he explained what his company does, how they do it and so on, and asked me my concerns about our golden doodle and what our goals are for her. After a few days of thinking it over, I decided to go with this company, and I can say that was the BEST decision I could have made for this dog. While they had our precious goldendoodle and working on her training, I got daily updates and videos of her progress which helped my daughter feel better about her dog being at training. I absolutely love that they do group sessions with you and your dog and other people that have gone through the training, and I love that this company goes with you forever with the dog. This means that if our dog decides to stop listening in a couple of years, Sit Means Sit is in my corner every step of the way. Hands down I am thankful for Sit Means Sit Company, and the amazing things they have done with my daughter’s golden-doodle. I could not have done this without their support. So, thank you Sit Means Sit and Teddy for everything you do, and you guys are the best out there for Dog Training.
Sit Means Sit has done wonders with our dog Daisy. She was having issues with resource guarding and aggression toward other dogs, and they have helped us train her away from those problematic behaviors. One day of training and it was like bringing home a different dog! She is much calmer and more obedient.
Absolutely love the training program. The trainers are very knowledgeable about dog behaviors. They take their time and explain behaviors to you so you can enjoy your four legged family members.
Absolutely amazing. The service they provide is top notch. Not only do they make it easy to understand for your dog, but they make it easy to understand for you as well. Simple and effective training and tasks have yielded great results in just 2 days of dedicated training! Coupled with 3 days of training with myself and I couldn’t be more pleased with them. If you think your dog is hopeless and can’t be trained, I promise you that Sit Means Sit will be able to help!
Sit Means Sit is the best possible choice I could have made for me and my pup! They helped me work with his specific needs and gave me the tools I needed to feel confident walking my dog around my apartment complex and taking him to public places. He has not been exposed to much in his life, but he has grown so confident in his abilities! We have developed trust with each other and he has behaviorally improved so much thanks to this program!
Awesome experience all the way around! We have a two year old very stubborn & strong willed Malinois that these guys did a great job with. We are very happy with the results & were very impressed with the communication beginning with the consultation , during his five day stay & with the education & insight they provided us with so that we could properly continue Rykers training at home. Great job!
Teddy and Elijah are excellent mentors. They not only helped our dog Camo in her training, they helped us in our understanding of Camos and others dog’s behaviors. Sit means sit is worth every penny, highly recommend this location!
