What people have asked about this business.

How much does your dog training cost?

There are a number of factors that we evaluate prior to building a training package for you such as your dog’s age, temperament, previous training, as well as the desired goals of the owner. Because of these factors, we offer a free demonstration & consultation as an opportunity to meet with your family as well as your dog to gain insight into the unique circumstances that affect your dog’s training. If you are interested, give us a call at (865) 730‐0364

Question on Google
We have a Jack Russell that was trained by you and all is good. BUT we need to do something in regards to digging - which is probably part of their natural instincts. We can zap him when we see him digging but we don't always catch him in the act.

I have found that sprinkling a tablespoon of cayenne pepper works great for places that I don't want Aurora digging

Our 6 month old Golden retriever, Mia, was quickly growing and we knew training would be in her future. As we had always planned to enroll her in training, choosing SIt Means SIt with Jimmy and his crew was the first and only choice we made. We are so happy that we did. Upon first meet, Jimmy outlined the goals and achievable’s. Through our time together, and his less than 8 minutes total with our rowdy puppy- we were able to see just how achievable training would and could be. We chose the board and train package as it worked best for us This package allowed SMS to do the heavy lifting, and put in the time that we didn’t have on the front end. Like anything, it still requires work but we were sold on Jimmy and the SMS family after our first hour together. Right there our journey began! Mia came back after her 10 day board and train- a changed dog-in ALL of the best ways!! The experience has been something we would repeat over and over again as we have a dog that people comment and compliment us on all the time. Whether it’s walking or running with us off leash, or being in a crowded area, Mia stays on task. She listens so well, and is a joy to have in and around high traffic areas. If you or your family needs help getting control of a rowdy puppy or a mature dog, we know who you should call!! Jimmy and his staff are amazing and have spent the time with us to ensure our experience with our fur kid will be just that. Thanks again Jimmy and the SIt Means Sit Knoxville Family. We are truly thankful!

They use shock collars. Of course your dog will behave if it's terrified. Edit: True, I have personally never used their services, but my review is based on the results that I've seen.

We boarded our German Shepherd for 10 days of training in July 2018. He is a rescue and has some socialization issues (random aggressiveness) that had been getting worse and I had been unable to correct with treats and distractions. Jimmy and Ami worked with him and turned him into a more attentive and better behaved dog in just 10 days. It’s up to me and my wife to continue the training (and be trained ourselves) to enable Midnight to be a good citizen but Jimmy and Ami have set us all on the road to success. On a recent walk through Home Depot we were asked if he was a service dog because he appeared so well behaved! In addition to the initial training there are included follow up lessons, group classes and support for life! Very impressive results, fantastic support - I can’t rate this company highly enough.

I am so grateful for the Sit Means Sit program. Ami is a wonderful instructor! I have 2 beagles, Bella (3 years old) and Buddy (2 years old). My dogs no longer jump on my guests when they visit. I can take them on walks and they do not pull and bark. My friends and family are amazed at the transformation in their behavior in such a short time. I highly recommend the Sit Means Sit training program.
