Sit Means Sit Dog Training Madison

Josh is awesome! You can tell he really cares and wants the best for the dogs that he trains. I got my dog as a fully grown 40lb pup from the shelter, so training him by myself was a bit tough since he seemed to be completely untrained (I had to potty train him). Sit Means Sit was recommended to me by his doggy daycare and I can honestly say it's been a great and supportive experience from start to now. Even before training, any questions I had about my dog's behavior were promptly answered. We had a rough start first day since we were working through a lot of anxiety, but Josh soon became one of Thunder's favorite people. He started looking forward to training, and I can tell he had a lot of trust in Josh. Thunder now carries himself with a lot of confidence and calm in public spaces. Yes, training collars are used during the process, but at the lowest level possible to get the dog's attention without hurting them. I know that it doesn't bother Thunder because he isn't fearful of the collar and actually looks forward to having it on because it means lots of walking and rewards. The team here cares about the wellbeing of the dogs, and if you have any concerns, they're always happy to help address them!

I can’t say enough GREAT things about this place! My husband and I were overwhelmed with the success our two dogs have had so far! Our dogs loved going to class weekly and we loved learning how to train them to be the best dogs possible. Sit Means Sit helped us become better dog parents and well-rounded in our dog obedience training skills. Applying these skills at home has been challenging but we feel so supported by our trainer Brenna. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking dog training. We are still connected with our trainer Brenna, she checks in periodically to see how things are going at home and how she can help us. Sit Means Sit becomes like family. Look no further, this is the place you can trust with your dogs!

I brought my 1.5-year-old Dalmatian, Ryder, to Sit Means Sit to help with his reactivity and overall puppy behaviors, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From day one, Brenna and Josh have been absolutely wonderful trainers. They've provided so much guidance, patience, and valuable tips throughout this entire journey. I especially loved being able to see Ryder's progress through the videos shared while he was at doggy day camp - it's so rewarding to watch how far he's come! The group classes are another huge highlight. I continue to learn something new each time, and Ryder benefits so much from being around other dogs in a safe and controlled environment. We both look forward to our classes every week, and I plan to continue attending for as long as we need. I'm so grateful for the positive impact Sit Means Sit has had on Ryder (and me!). Highly recommend them to anyone looking to strengthen the bond with their dog and build lasting results!
