Question on Google
Is socialist something you do for dogs?

With my pup they started slow depending on the issue they have dogs who are pre trained that work with your pup unless there are concerns but on the good side once your dog is ready they offer group classes but baby steps first start small and work your way up. Introducing pets and other animals can be hard but allowing them to meet on uncommon ground normally work's best I have seen my pup go through two stages of the training so far and she's ready for group classes but we haven't been in really excited. Trust is a big thing for pets you need to relax and have trust if your unsure then your pet will be unsure which can cause socialization to be an issue but the trainers will work with not only the pet but the owners as well I strongly recommend you try them out and see if you like it.

Question on Google
Do you train service dogs

Yes. I have worked with many Service dogs.

Community answer · Donald Woodward · 2020-09-21

No. Don't trust them to train.

Community answer · Mk Podschweit · 2019-09-21

These ppl are not bad by no means but I think wht they charge to train isn't reasonable and so many other dog trainers out there offered me way better prices and there were a couple at some of the local pet stores that offered training for me for about 250 to 300 that's more like it I just chose to do it on my own.

Community answer · Shaunna Crane · 2018-09-21

Yes, they do and what they charge is well worth it! It's not just the training. The price includes other things as well. For insurance, when we completed the individual sessions, we graduated to the group module. There is so much to be learned in the group. We can attend as often as possible - which we do at 4x per week. I definitely recommend them! If nothing else, at least call them to check for yourself.

Sit Means Sit of Colorado Springs does a phenomenal job with dog training, but what really sets them apart is their awesome team! My wife and I recently got married and wanted our dog to be part of the ceremony as our ring bearer/pup of honor, but we weren't sure who could handle walking them down the aisle. We reached out to Sit Means Sit, and Skylar (an absolutely wonderful and kind person and trainer!) enthusiastically stepped up to help! A huge thank you to Skylar for doing such a flawless job, and to Sit Means Sit for going above and beyond—even for a request well outside their normal services. We used them for obedience training prior to the wedding, and their lesson plans are always creative, effective, and fun for both dogs and owners. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit of Colorado Springs to anyone looking for expert training and a truly caring team.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Krypto’s training. From the very beginning, anytime I had an issue, concern, or even just a question, they were always patient, responsive, and willing to help. I never felt like I was bothering them or that I was on my own once a training session was over. They genuinely wanted Krypto and me to succeed. Something else that really meant a lot to me was how understanding they were when it came to finances. They never allowed money to be the reason Krypto couldn’t get the training he needed. They worked with me and allowed me to make payments whenever I was able to, without making me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about it. That kind of compassion and flexibility is rare, and I will always appreciate it. Krypto has had his challenges, and having trainers who are willing to listen, answer questions, troubleshoot problems, and continue supporting us has made such a difference. You can tell this isn’t just a business to them—they truly care about the dogs and the people who love them. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they have done for Krypto and for me, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you and your dog succeed. ❤️🐾

As I watched Laddie‘s first videos I thought they’re doing the same thing over and over again. When will they move on? But be patient there is a method to their madness and it paid off big time for us. Laddie is such a better dog!! It was worth it all. Thanks

The trainers are so friendly and really understand dogs. Skylar is so helpful and you can tell she knows how to correct behavior and is able to understand different breeds of dogs. She even remembers specific information from previous sessions which is impressive because she probably works with so many dogs and people but is still able to personalize our experience. All of the staff are clearly trained well and I am so happy with how my dog is being trained. Having a team that is so passionate about their job is so good for customers. They are flexible with their hours and their classes. It is expensive but I think it is worth it.

Chris was great! He is helping train our great pyrenees Anatolian shepherd puppy. She is doing great with all the training and attention from the team at sit means sit.
