FirstBarkRyan & Emily are great trainers. We’d been training our pup since day 1. But by the time she was 9-10 months her outside world got big, she was strong & determined. We’d been really working but were frustrated. We saw immediate results to the positive approach used with e collar training. Our experience with their coaching, guidance, & encouragement has been a game changer.

Our GSP had tons of anxiety that manifested in really destructive behavior. In our intro session they were able to explain the dynamic and where that anxiety comes from and quickly demonstrate how some basic training done right can go a long way. We did the board and train while we were on vacation and in just 10 days they had her listening to our commands, sleeping in her kennel, and walking with us nicely on a leash. Absolute likely amazing!
Ryan is amzing!!! I love how patient and loving he is with my little monster. Also, the training tools and skills he provides are great. Even though my pup is still a work in progress, he started to improve since day one with Ryan.
Ryan and Emily are by far the best trainers I have ever met. Other trainers have a one size fits all approach but they listened to what I want in my relationship with my dog and have tailored everything to be specific to my dog.

Ryan and Emily are by far the best trainers I have ever met. Other trainers have a one size fits all approach but they listened to what I want in my relationship with my dog and have tailored everything to be specific to my dog. My dog struggled with knowing house rules and how to behave on a leash and now he is amazing in the home and my friends say he walks on a leash better than any dogs that they know! Best part is day or night, both Ryan and Emily are available to answer your call and help with any situation! Would 1000% recommend them to anyone!

I can’t say enough good things about Sit Means Sit, Ryan and Emily are absolutely fantastic! I initially decided to bring my dog to Sit Means Sit because she had some unique behaviors. There was absolutely no hesitation from Ryan after the first time they met and took her on. Since then she has learned so much and her behaviors have drastically improved. I would recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone looking for quality dog training and trainers who truly care.
