When Tarrytown 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 on walks down Main Street, through Pierson Park, and along the Hudson waterfront.

Can you help with leash pulling on Main Street, Pierson Park, and the RiverWalk?+

Yes.

What dog owners say about Sit Means Sit

“We have a playful and extremely stubborn black lab who we could not take for a walk without being pulled along and now our walks are very pleasant with our dog walking happily next to us instead of charging ahead.”
Daniela D.Google review
“The group classes are a game changer, allowing us to practice training with real distractions and problem solve through a variety of situations together.”
Julianne A.Google review
“His anxiety led him to bite someone and honestly we were afraid of what that meant. Walking into our meeting Toji was trembling and growling at everything and everyone. Neil took us immediately and showed us complete and utter compassion. … You guys have changed our lives. Our world was upside down when we’d come to you and we will forever be grateful for all the ways you’ve helped keep our family together.”
Melissa R.Google review
“The team at Sit Means Sit gave me back my life, my dogs, and my sanity. … Pulling on leash, barking constantly, reactivity to other dogs/animals, screaming, you name it. … I no longer have overwhelming anxiety when leaving my apartment to walk them and wonder what horrible thing will happen next.”
Christina F.Google review

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