What dog owners say about Sit Means Sit

“Before Sit Means Sit, our chocolate lab was jumping at every bird that flew near her, trying to play with every dog we walked past in the city, pulling us on the leash … being able to take a walk in the city with a constant loose leash feels amazing.”
Andrew R.Google review
“My 75 pound mut suffers from severe anxiety and is frightened by cars, bikes and most people. … Immediately, our dog who is typically terrified of new people, loved all of the trainers … It has been well worth our 1 hour+ drive every week!”
Anthony P.Google review
“When I first spoke with Neil, I asked him if he really thought I would see a difference in 8 weeks, and he told me I'd see a difference after one day of training. And he wasn't wrong. … several neighbors have commented on how well-behaved Levi is.”
Andrea S.Google review
“She wouldn't go up the stairs and would freeze in fear on walks! Within one session, she was such a happier dog. … this was the best investment we've made. Our biggest regret is not doing it sooner!”
