FirstBarkWe could not be happier with our trainer, Matt. He trained not only our high energy, 100lb pup - but taught us how to properly communicate with him as well. Allowing our guy to run off-leash in parks and around distractions (confidently knowing he can come back on command) has granted a new sense of freedom and has reduced a tremendous amount of anxiety during our day-to-day lives.

How much is it and is it in person
Hi Anne! Yes, all training takes place in person at our facility in Tigard. Pricing varies depending on each pup, so we always start with a free consultation over Zoom first!
Community answer · Sit Means Sit Dog Training - Portland · 2022-09-21
How much does this cost
It depends on what you are looking for. They give you a free consultation to get an idea of what you are looking for. For my pup we did a 2 week board and train. $2100
Community answer · Tom Partridge · 2018-09-21
We adopted a 3 yr old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who barks incessantly when a human or another dog comes near our/his “space”. He is very devoted to me and gets very excited and barks even when it’s time for a walk or potty. Train less barking?
They can help with any issue you have with your dog. Call for the consult. You will be amazed.
Community answer · Tom Partridge · 2018-09-21
I am sure they can. That's what the free consult is for to ask them questions and see what they can do
Community answer · Lisa · 2018-09-21

We had a wonderful training experience with Sit Means Sit. Our trainer was Kaylee and she does amazing work! Any issues that come up, I reach out to Kaylee and she advises me via email/text or brings us in for extra training. We can now enjoy our dog, enjoy our long walks together and have a peaceful home and you can’t put a price on that. But the price was very reasonable and they offer different packages to fit your budget and needs. I highly recommend

Thanks to the team at Sit Means Sit and in particular our outstanding personal trainer Kaylee, during the past two months Arlo has become more confident and is adjusting to life beyond the streets of Mexico. We always look forward to our training sessions and are grateful for the support and encouragement. We now look forward to participating in group classes so that our skills will improve. As a reactive dog owner, not only will Arlo and I benefit immensely from this lifelong learning, but our commitment to safety and wellness will also help build stronger relationships with our community.
Our trainer Halle was great! We did 1 session a week where we dropped off our doggo for the day for 4 weeks. Everything we’ve learned so far makes sense. From having him go to a spot when the door bell rings to having him by our side when we’re walking. We have a check in session in a few weeks, and then have group classes next. Its also great that we have access to a trainer for life with them!
I am so grateful for Halle and Sit Means Sit! My rescue dog was people aggressive and overall scared, and Halle taught us great skills to take forward to help make him a more relaxed and confident pup.
