Sit Means Sit Dog Training Richmond

My husband and I were at wits end with our rescued lab mix Sampson. He was almost two years old and had been to a couple of basic obedience classes when we first got him but was showing aggressive behavior to the point where he was redirecting toward us. We were very frustrated and worried. I called a few different trainers and JP called me back almost immediately. He came to our house and met Sampson and diagnosed his behavior right off as being anxious and scared rather than aggressive. JP took his time with us and was very patient and understanding in "our" training as well as Sampson's. JP and Kelly are always just a phone call away whenever there are any concerns or issues and are quick to call or text back. A great team and work very hard. I'm not sure if all training facilities are as compassionate and knowledgeable with dogs as Sit Means Sit RVA but I would definitely recommended them.

Our experience with Sit Means Sit has been outstanding! JP and the rest of the trainers have done wonders for our adopted 4 year old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. He was having serious obedience issues, along with separation and crate anxieties. After participating in the 3 week package deal, it was more than obvious we made the right decision. We still have some stuff to work on but we look forward to continuing with the included group session trainings on Saturday. They’re so informative and fun! We couldn’t be more pleased. If you and your dog need some help with training, look no further than Sit Means Sit!

JP has been great to work with! We have been with Sit Means Sit RVA for just over 2 years now and it has been great to see the transition of my 2 pups from when they started to now working off leash. You and your dog are exposed to a lot of distractions which is great for you to learn how your dog reacts in certain situations. His training is tailored for you, the owner, to take responsibility and put in the time to work your dog. That was something I wanted when picking a trainer because I wanted to be involved in the process as much as possible. I definitely recommend Sit Means Sit dog training for your pupper!

We were having issues with our dogs separation anxiety, pulling while walking, jumping, and more. We actually had worked with another trainer but still weren’t seeing the results. We began working with JP and had a wonderful experience! He taught us so many impactful techniques. Now, Perry is TOTALLY fine when we leave him home alone and is much better while walking! Our favorite part of working with JP is the weekly training classes. This allows us to continually learn new techniques and tune up our training. It is also great to have a place where you can train with the distraction of other dogs! We can’t say enough great things about Sit Means Sit and JP. Training your dog is an investment, but we have seen immeasurable return on that investment!
