Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

Where do your training lessons take place?

One of our biggest training philosophies is tackling any training issue at the root of the problem, which is usually away from the home under distracting environments. That being said, we encourage both private and group training sessions at our facility or in a public setting that we refer to as “field trips”! If you have more questions about our programs, give us a call or fill out the form on our website.

Question on Google
how long does it take to see results in your dog?

Hi Daryl, every dog is different when it comes to previous knowledge and behaviors prior to training with us, but many of our clients will see improvements in their dog after the very first lesson! If you would like to hear some of our success stories, check out the “Reviews” page on our website or give us a call to learn more about our programs.

Question on Google
Do you offer off-leash training?

Yes, we do! Depending on your dog's current skill level, we will usually begin with on-leash training around distractions until you feel confident in your dog’s recall training. After that, we love to see the control and discipline your dog has gained on and off the leash. Contact us to set up your free consultation to learn more!

We absolutely do! At Sit Means Sit, our philosophy is using a variety of training programs around distractions to meet the problem behavior at the source. Give us a call to set up a free consultation for you and your dog!

Highly recommend trusting Sit Means Sit to train your dog if you’re needing help with your pup. Our frenchie was highly reactive toward other dogs. We went through the 10 day training program with him. They’ve helped tremendously and given us the tools continue the work at home.

5/5

Everyone at Sit Means Sit has been phenomenal to work with. Gene did my one on one trainings when I had my dog in the 10 day board and train and he provided such good feedback during our sessions that I truly feel like we were set up for success. It’s not easy to train a stubborn dachshund puppy but the team truly surpassed my expectations.

I highly recommend Sit Means Sit. I was hesitant at first because I thought the collar would feel like a shock. It doesn’t. I put it on my thigh before we signed up and felt it at its highest level and it did not hurt. It feels like a tens unit. I have always trained my own dogs …Read full reviewClose full review

I highly recommend Sit Means Sit. I was hesitant at first because I thought the collar would feel like a shock. It doesn’t. I put it on my thigh before we signed up and felt it at its highest level and it did not hurt. It feels like a tens unit. I have always trained my own dogs but needed a little help with my dog Dakota. He has doggie ADHD and I needed him to be better with loose leash walking. I tried every other method and collar but I wish I had just started with Sit Means Sit. Lynn and Lamont are great trainers and Dakota is definitely getting better.

5/5

We are so glad we decided to get our dog training. She’s a new dog and she’s 10. She listens and is so well behaved. We have even noticed a huge improvement in her anxiety. We highly recommend Sit Means Sit and all the wonderful trainers!! Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
