When Harrison Owners Usually Reach Out

Most families that find us are tired of being embarrassed by barking, jumping, lunging, or pulling. They've tried YouTube videos and group classes, sometimes more than once, and the dog is still out of control. They're worried the behavior is getting worse with age, not better — and they want a calmer dog at home and a reliable one in public, especially around downtown Harrison and on walks near Silver Lake Park.

What dog owners say about Sit Means Sit

“Trying to walk her was always a nightmare, she would pull, scream at the other dogs and lunge towards them ( very embarrassing). … They were great, very patient with me and answered all of my questions, they didn't pressure me to enroll her. … I can walk her!! She's no longer reactive towards other dogs during our walks”
Dawn M.Google review
“Our main issue was Carl pulling on our walks as well as lunging for bunnies and cats and reacting to a couple of the neighborhood dogs. … After our his first couple of training sessions, Carl was so much easier to walk and it has turned into a fun activity versus a very stressful one. … If I had known how transformative the training would be, I would have started much earlier!”
Rachelle G.Google review
“Our dog has a tremendous amount of energy and is very strong. It was hard for us to walk her on a leash - we were afraid of getting hurt. … The free classes for life is fantastic - having a “tune up” every few weeks has kept us all focus and under control. Training with Sit Means Sit was well worth the $ it cost us - it works if you work it”
Ellen M.Google review
“Neil, Sam, and Dana are outstanding dog trainers, but more importantly exceptional people trainers. … When we first started the program Oakley was high energy/anxiety, a leash puller, barker, and would not respond to come without a reward. However, by week 8 Oakley follows commands off leash, is pleasant to walk and run with, and listens without fail.”
