Sit Means Sit has helped me and my boy Shadow in so many ways. They have helped build his confidence. They have helped me work on his leash pulling as well as his jumping on people. They always have answers to my questions and are always happy to help no matter how silly the problem is. I wouldn’t have been able to take Shadow everywhere if it wasn’t for their guidance and help on his obedience training. Forever thankful for all their help! I can’t wait to see how well trained my boy is after we are completely done working with them.

My dog Kratos is one of the most difficult dogs ever! He is super aggressive and reactive towards people and I was never able to walk out of the house with him before.
Sit Means Sit has done wonders with him and I can now leave the house with him and know he will do okay. He has a long way to go as most reactive dogs do but Blake and Cheyenne have always been there for me and Kratos .

This was my 1st experience with formal dog training. My dog Hershey has exceeded my expectations and he really gets excited when we head to class. Blake and Cheyenne have both been great to work with and we have referred neighbors who have now started training as well.

I can’t thank Sit Means Sit enough! Their staff is passionate at what they do (it shows) AND also patient with training you in the process! This is the best investment made for my dog & I. I take my dog everywhere I go - thanks to Sit Means Sit North Idaho. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
