FirstBarkAbsolutely night and day in training. My dog transformed and is able to be in tight places with other dogs, and walks at an easier tempo. Nicole did a phenomenal job tutoring me about how to be with my dog after a week of training. Excited to come back for more lessons.

I am told this place trains with shock collar on all its dogs, even before the dog learns commands. Is this true?
Hi, I was a little concerned on how Someone can use a “shock collar” for positive reinforcement ?
Community answer · John Reeves (BackyardSkate) · 2021-09-21
Hey Jennylee, my name is Anthony and I own our Denver location. Call it what you like but the modern tech and modern, attention-based approach is very different than a past mindset of “shock collar” or training. More trainers and people are exploring and using collars now than ever because of the advancement and evolution. You’re welcome to visit with us personally for free and educate and then judge for yourself what makes sense. We’ve been at it for 20 years, so the system, technique and results are really well documented. I appreciate your attention, feel free to reach out. Anthony

They don't call it a shock collar since they use it for "positive reinforcement", but yes. It's definitely a shock collar. They will also recommend your dog to wear it at all times.
Community answer · Alexandra Malinina · 2020-09-21
What's the age range of dogs you train?
We work with dogs 10 weeks and older. Our first step is to schedule a free consultation appointment to meet with our trainers.
Community answer · Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training · 2024-09-21
We started with a puppy about 5 months old
Community answer · Liz Puppe · 2019-09-21
What types of dogs do you train and when?
We train any dog, any age, any problem! We'll start puppies as early as 8-10 weeks and grow them for life; we've had 12 year old dogs come for training too! And we purposely located outside of Denver so we don't have breed restrictions.

What is the cost of the services?
It depends on the dog and specific needs! They will give you a free consultation where they meet you and the dog! My dog did one week boarding. Total was $1850.
Community answer · Britni Luna · 2019-09-21
Hey Stephanie, Just like Britni said below, we meet for free to assess your dog and needs, then give you options. I noticed you contacted us directly and may be up in the foothills, so several factors may come into play for you like timing, travel, schedule and of course budget. Please call us to chat and we'll see if it makes sense to get together. 303-422-3647. Anthony ps. that boarding listed here is an unlimited lifetime follow up!!
Community answer · Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training · 2019-09-21
Do you train dogs with aggressive behavior towards other dogs?
Yes, lots of them!
Community answer · Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training · 2018-09-21
How can I get a replacement controller?
Laura, I'm presuming you have our Sit Means Sit collar which also has a lifetime warranty! So, if the controller is not functioning, the manufacturer will repair or replace. If you've lost it call our office and we can coordinate getting you a new one. Numbers are listed in Google profile. Anthony

I am so glad that we found Sit Means Sit in Wheat Ridge! My girlfriend and I were pretty much at the end of our rope with our 1.5-year-old Bernese Mountain dog, puppy, Gannicus. He has a great and loving nature but had two main problems. Being 115 lbs, He would pull on his leash, making it hard for us to control him. Additionally, he would bark obsessively when he encountered another dog or another human. We took him to one other training facility in Arvada and while this training was great, we still had a lot to work on. When we found out that Sit Means Sit uses an e-collar / shock collar, we were both immediately hesitant. After speaking with our trainer Nicole and trying it out on ourselves, we decided to go ahead and move forward with the training. It was either get him under control so we can go on walks to take him to breweries and patios, or he'll have to be left at home. We knew we couldn't leave him at home and take his 6.5-year-old Berner brother out without him. That would crush his spirit, as he hates not being in the same room as his brother. From day one of training, I could see a change in Gannicus. He had a job to do and was focused on that job. By the third session, he was a different dog. The package we invested in had three daytime individual trainings, and then unlimited group class trainings that are open to all customers for the dog's life! While the investment wasn't cheap, we were investing in our dog so that he could have an amazing life. Now that we have been going for 2.5 months, he is better than his older brother on walks and going out! We have been so impressed with his outcome; we are taking his brother to Sit Means Sit for a refresher on his training! Without Nichole and the team at Sit Means Sit, Gannicus and his brother would not have as much time outside of the house. Our dogs are our children and we take them anywhere we can. Without Nichole both our boys’ futures would have looked very different. Thank you Sit Means Sit, Wheat Ridge for empowering us to train our dogs, so we can give them the life they deserve!

We have had a great experience at Sit Means Sit Denver! Our boy Blue has really matured in the program and responded well to the collar and commands. We live really close to the group class and take full advantage of having Blue in a room full of dogs while still following his commands. Nicole is great and super knowledgeable. Thanks so much Sit Means Sit for your continued training and support:)
We are very impressed how quickly Barney is becoming his best self thanks to the fantastic trainers at Sit Means Sit! ~ Adam, Katie & Barney🐾
SMS took Scarlett’s training to the next level immediately. We chose the consecutive 3 week, one day training with a lesson for us afterwards. Results were immediate and have continued to be impressive. We had our first lesson this past weekend and were very pleased with all aspects of the training.
