We are absolutely thrilled with our experience in the Sit Means Sit Dog Training program! We had the privilege of working with Kloë for all four of our on-site training sessions, and we couldn’t be more impressed.
The knowledge, understanding, guidance, and professionalism from the entire team—and especially from Kloë—was phenomenal. Our Edmund received the care, attention, and structure we had hoped for, and the results have been amazing.
We highly recommend Sit Means Sit—and Kloë in particular—to anyone looking for committed, effective, and compassionate dog training.

Although I have trained in the past for obedience, this type of training has been a positive experience for us. This makes a great family dog if you keep up the practice and the work will be worth your efforts. Great communication as well with the trainers helps. They welcome questions and provide solutions.
Amber is a rescue and she was jumping on everything in and out and clearly needed manners. She is learning boundaries.

We were very hesitant with the e-collar training, but our dog Nala has excelled after her 3 days of training. She was a very vocal dog who would bark non stop while outside and never come when called. She rarely non stop barking and if she does 1 time of come or quiet will grab her attention and she responds immediately. We can also now get her in and out of the car with almost no issues. Both trainers we worked with were amazing and worked with us in how to keep up with training. We recently got a new dog and are excited to work with them again

I was frustrated when I adopted Daisy at 11 months old and was unsuccessful using positive reinforcement training techniques for 6 weeks. I was referred to Sit Means Sit training for extremely distracted dogs. The staff at Sit Means Sit were very informative and made each session easy to understand. I was hesitant to use the e-collar but quickly found that it was the same thing as a TENS unit(muscle stim). I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Daisy adjusted to the training. In 3 weeks I had a dog who walked, heeled, stopped jumping up on people and no biting. Thank you, Doug, and the entire Sit Means Sit Team
