Each dog that goes through a board and train is prescribed the appropriate length of time based on the issues they are experiencing. If you’d like to setup a free phone consultation to go over these options and give you a quote let be know what days you are free and I’ll give you our availability. Thanks so much :)

I inherited two large very untrained aggressive dogs - Molly and Zoey and I folded them into a household of 4 small dogs. The integration was not smooth and was dangerous to the small dogs.
Molly and Zoey were extremely close to being surrendered to a shelter which was a painful thought.
I was referred to Sit Means Sit Dog Training and we were fortunate that they accepted the girls for a 3-week board and train.
Molly and Zoey were trained by David and the results were nothing short of incredible. In 3 short weeks David took Molly and Zoey from aggressive volatile dogs to calm manageable members of my family.
I continue to train the girls daily and will begin the group training classes.
Without Sit Means Sit, Molly and Zoey would have been relinquished to a shelter.
THANK YOU DAVID!

We signed up for group training with our newly adopted pup, Purl, and had a wonderful experience. Dave was fantastic—he took the time to work with each individual dog, patiently teaching the basics and providing clear instructions on how to improve at home. His expertise and guidance made a real difference. Highly recommend!

We needed help with our rescue Belgian Malinois puppy - and we are so happy with the training with David at Sit Means Sit. We can tell he loves his job with both dogs and humans!
David helped us understand how to communicate clearly with Mia and got some muscle memory started.
Great work!
Highly recommend!!!!

We took advantage of the three week board and train. It was very hard on us to leave our dog there for three weeks, but the outcome was amazing. Dave was great. Kept us well Informed the whole time our scrimmy was there. Video updates and text message updates regularly. I would recommend Sit Means Sit as well as Dave to train your dog. Money well spent

My dog has just come back from the Board and Training working with Dave at Sit Means Sit and I do not even recognize the dog the came home after two weeks of training at their facility. Our dog, Brody, had some bad behavioral habits of barking incessantly and we felt held hostage to his counter hopping and jumping issues. I have had many dogs and Brody was just a persistent boy. He came back beautifully attentive to his commands and so calm. I realize that we now have to build on those skills but Dave provided us with such an excellent training foundation and I could see how Brody had bonded with him. Such a great balance of positive rapport and also making him aware of his positioning and attentiveness at all times. I only wish we had gone to Sit Means Sit sooner. Thank you Adam and Dave!
