Great trainers very patient. Made me see my dog as fun and loving vs chaos on four legs. They help your dog become the best version they can be while helping you become the best dog parent you can be.

My dog was a really bad jumper and had aggressive behavior. After a few months of training with Adam I can now take him to dog parks and walk with him off the leash. I highly recommend sit means sit!!

So disappointed. They said they offer free weekly group classes and retraining if the dog didn’t do well. I’ve been calling since November for both reasons and have NOT gotten a return call from anyone. Trying to dispute the charge with my bank or filing with small claims. This is just not ok

Our rott/collie mix, Oliver, was adopted from the shelter at 1 year. He had been in the shelter for half his life was very reactive. Oliver did a total of 3 weeks board and train at Sit means Sit ( Modesto) with Caity. We loved Caity! She is enthusiastic and energetic. The perfect personality for the job. Oliver loved Caity, which made us feel at ease. Every weekend that he came home, there was a notable improvement in Oliver's behavior. At the end of each week, Caity gave us a personal lesson to catch us up on what Oliver had learned and gave us "homework " to practice with him over the weekend. She sent us updates and pictures while she had Oliver which was awesome because we missed our boy. Can't recommend Caity enough!

This review is for the one on one training sessions only as this is the only service I have used so far. My 1 year old pug pulled like a champion dog sled when we started training. We worked with Katie one on one to learn how to heel as well as go to place. From day one Katie was knowledgeable and helpful, my dog responded to her very well. It was nice to train without treats and use positive reinforcement as his reward. I am looking forward to the group lessons and will update my review once we have been able to attend some of these.
