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!

5/5

This is the best training facility in Albuquerque, and all of the staff there are top notch, awesome and so good with the dogs. I have been bringing BeBe here for training for ten months and she has made great strides in following commands, both on and off leash. She’s one happy German Shepherd!

I can't believe how much progress Ozzie made in 5 days! Everyone there was friendly and helpful and it was a great experience for both of us.

5/5

These guys are 100% legitimate trainers and 100% AMAZING. They are so calm, cool, and collected. I brought one dog and now have the tools to help my other two dogs. Even training just one dog has helped our walks tremendously. No more pulling, no more darting after cats! It makes walking with my dogs enjoyable again Thank you to the whole team!

I did a 10 day board and train for my german shepherd and it was amazing! they have super great and friendly staff who are attentive and make sure all your goals and pets needs are met! My dog loved the opportunity to socialize with other dogs and play in the pool. 10/10 would recommend she’s the same playful weirdo just with sharper skills :)

This is the BEST place for dog training. The trainers are wonderful and helpful and treated Bubba like he was their dog. They were also helpful training me to be a good dog parent. When I wrote my first review Bubba was 6 months old. He is now 18 months old and 85#. He is so much better than I could ask for. Going to day care and group training has helped him to become such a pleasure to be with. Being two reactive breeds, German Shepherd and Malinois he could be difficult to handle. He still has some PTSD because he is a rescue but he has come very far and is only getting better Thanks to Sit Means Sit and the wonderful trainers and Staff.
