What dog owners say about Sit Means Sit

“He was very insecure, Anxious and not friendly to any other dogs or people. Previously I brought Prince to a few other trianers but didn’t really see any improvement. … He was telling me the way and whys my dogs behavior was within the first hour of my dogs first lesson! Six weeks later my Prince is the envey of the block”
Anthony D.Google review
“Our pup was deemed aggressive by our vet and with Neil’s help and guidance we were able to learn about Roscoe’s reactivity triggers and how to handle them. … He has saved my dogs life”
JoGoogle 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.”
Matt F.Google review

Results vary by dog. Aggression is managed through training and ongoing owner work, not cured.

Jo from Stamford and her Jack Russell, Roscoe, share how Sit Means Sit helped keep their family together.
