When White Plains Owners Usually Reach Out

As the county seat, White Plains is one of Westchester's busiest urban centers — busy sidewalks, dense foot traffic around the courthouse and shopping districts, and tight apartment elevators. Most families that find us are tired of being embarrassed by barking, jumping, lunging, or pulling. They want a calmer dog at home and a reliable one in public, especially on walks through downtown, around Turnure Park, or at Saxon Woods.

What dog owners say about Sit Means Sit

“We adopted a sweetheart of a 10 month old Golden and German Shepherd mix, who had a few demand barking issues when home alone with her new mama, and insisted she knew best when on the end of a leash. After one session with Neil, we immediately saw results.”
Marc R.Google review
“We can now have an enjoyable walk with our dog with no pulling or jumping.”
Kate B.Google review
“Hiding under the bed when I want to take him out and running across the street when I accidentally let go of the leach are a few of the things that prompted me to contact Neil. After working with Neil, Bailey sits on command even if there are squirrels running up the trees and comes when called.”
Joyce K.Google review
“Terry can be around other dogs and other people and not react like he used to! I was at a loss before my vet's office recommended the team at Sit Means Sit in Valhalla!”
Colleen S.Google review
