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.

I highly recommend Sit means Sit. Anna is who trained our dog and she’s amazing and very knowledgeable. We boarded her for two weeks and go to group classes now. It helped tremendously. My dog has gotten over jumping on people, racing towards the door when I open it and being so reactive with other dogs. I followed exactly what Anna told me to do and I’m staying consistent. It’s worth every single penny and I would do it again if I ever got another dog. Everyone at sit means sit is knowledgeable and is always willing to help. If you are looking for a place to train your dog, look no further.

I’ve had two out of three of my dogs go through training here and I will absolutely be signing up the third dog as well. I’ve worked with almost every trainer here & I have nothing but amazing things to say about all of them. My first dog, Keira, is a German Shepherd/ Blue Heeler mix and just needed some basic obedience training to help her regulate her energy and also to listen when I need her to. She is now graduated and a night and day difference from how she used to be. My second dog, Toretto, is an American Bully/ Belgian Malinois mix who has SEVERE dog aggression, resource guarding issues, and a touch of people aggression (but only when you walk into my house.) I started Toretto off with a 10 day board & train, did a few private training sessions after, and now he is graduated to group classes. Toretto’s trainers Mike, Nick & Anna have COMPLETELY turned him around. Not only have they made him a more confident and secure dog but they also made me more confident in how to handle him and identifying his triggers before he snaps. I cannot recommend Sit Means Sit enough! If you’re looking for a place where you want your dog to be well taken care of and have you be more informed and confident in how to handle them, then I would absolutely bring them here!

Sit Means Sit is the best dog training business!!! (Anna is amazing …and was Abby’s trainer!-Thanks Anna!) They are results driven and will help you realize your training goals with your best furry friend!! The board and train option jump starts your dog into being an obedient pet within a short period of time! (Abby did the 2 week board and train.) The follow-on group classes are excellent and provide you with encouragement and the confidence to train your Fido into the well mannered dog you’d be proud to take into any setting! I really enjoy the group classes during which Abby and I get helpful feedback, training tips, and lessons in a safe environment. We practice everything from basic obedience, remaining still during distractions, tricks, and even agility. Their inside and outside training areas allow attendance year-round. Recently, I was walking my dog in a public place, and I overheard a person say to their group of 10+ friends: “Now that is how a dog is supposed to behave!” That was a proud moment for me…and a training success story! Start your success story today!!!

I really like this place! Every lesson has been extremely effective. By the end of our lesson my dogs have managed to grasp what the purpose of training was for that day. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their pups really good lessons!

We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding experience we’ve had with Sit Means Sit and the exceptional training our baby, Ponyo has received and continues to receive. From day one, the entire team has been welcoming, professional, and truly invested in both Ponyo’s success and our confidence as new puppy parents. A very special thank you to Mallory, who immediately made us feel at home. Her knowledge, patience, and encouragement have been invaluable. She has an amazing way of instilling confidence not just in Ponyo, but in us as well and helping our entire family understand how to reinforce the training in a positive and effective way. Choosing Sit Means Sit has been one of the best decisions we’ve made in recent times. The training has made a genuinely positive impact on our daily lives, strengthening our bond with Ponyo and giving us tools that will benefit us for years to come. We wholeheartedly recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone looking for professional, caring, and results-driven dog training.
