About Sit Means Sit Dog Training Pittsburgh

We want you to enjoy life with your dog. Our training system teaches you and your dog how to use basic commands to combat difficult situations. We focus on attention first. What does that mean for you? What is difficult for one person may be a leash walk, while difficult for another person may be greeting a guest at home. We recognize that every dog and family has a different reason for calling us. That is why our focus on attention is so important. But you won't know until you see it. Be sure to check out our videos. Schedule the free consultation. We can't wait for the opportunity to show you how much we can help.

What people have asked about this business.

Didnt see anything about prices on website. Are they expensive?

It is all dependent on your needs and what program you choose (group lessons, at home training, day training etc) we found the price to be well worth it with all our package included

Question on Google
Do you only train big dogs? I have a 6 mo old cavachon and she is out of control. Smart but bad. Big problems with potty training and chewing

They train all kinds of dogs. Bloodhounds to Yorkies. You can even get private lessons! Hope this helps.

Would not recommend due to their specific ecollar approach (others have since pointed out the various ways their use/style is concerning) and punitive mindset of some of the trainers. My dogs looked afraid which did make them listen/learn some commands, but at what cost. Needless to say, despite the heavy price tag I still had to get a new trainer with a different, more supportive and long lasting approach.

Finding the right training program can feel overwhelming, but choosing Sit Means Sit for my puppy, Remy, was the absolute best decision. From day one, the entire team has been professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply invested in both Remy’s success and my confidence as a handler. > The results speak for themselves. In a short amount of time, Remy’s focus, impulse control, and overall obedience have improved dramatically—even around heavy distractions. The training methods are clear, consistent, and structured in a way that makes learning fun for a high-energy dog. More importantly, it has completely transformed our daily routine and given me the practical tools to navigate everyday situations with total peace of mind. > If you are on the fence about investing in dog training, I cannot recommend Sit Means Sit enough. They truly set both ends of the leash up for long-term success.

Their training really works! He now jumps into the car on his own, no issues. Also very behaved on our walks. So glad I chose them. Just remember to keep practicing the lessons ! Best decision ever !

The staff at sit means sit is absolutely amazing! They are attentive to you and your pups needs and have a great approach at training, making it fun for both you and your dog. They are patient and allow you to practice skills with your pet as well. I’m appreciative of the outside training they provide as well to make things even more personalized in your pets own space. I’d recommend their services to anyone and am thankful for all of their help with my puppy !!

I went to Sit Means Sit with my dog Yeti for puppy class and the 2 week Board and Train. Both were excellent experiences with clear results. All the trainers were diligent, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Definitely would recommend!
