This place is awesome! After only 4 lessons, my Gabby was much better behaved and made walking her a breeze! She’s stopped pulling the leash and now I’m close to trying off leash walking her. The staff is so encouraging and their expert training allows you to enjoy your dog a lot more! Gabby loves her group classes and learns something new every time!

The folks at Sit Means Sit are wonderful! My puppy who was 14 weeks at the time graduated from the 10 day program. It took a-lot of the stress out of the puppy stage and my puppy was well behaved! Austin and PJ spent time with both of my children getting them comfortable with the training. We have since boarded Bogey at SMS, he get so excited walking through the door and everyone is so happy to see him. Sit Means Sit is a great place, I’m so happy to have found them.
I highly recommend Sit Means Sit for your dog training!!! I struggled with training my pup and keeping him behaved but after going thru Sit Means Sit, my pup's behavior has done a entire 360!! Their training was fast and effective and overall AWESOME!! JP, Austin, Kelly and Cody are the best! HIGHLY IMPRESSED AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Would like to reach out and say Thank you to the entire team at Sit Means Sit of Richmond especially Austin, JP and Sam. Negan is my 9mon old pitty who if you would've asked me 2wks ago I would've said he was defective lol. He is the sweetest boy but was very stubborn, and was lacking his confidence and social skills. After meeting Sam at my old job and finding out about his business I took it upon myself to look into it more and am so happy I did. After a 10 day board and train program I almost feel like I was given a different dog back. The Negan who went to training on 3/4 was not the same Negan I got back on 3/15. He is so calm now, and so well behaved now. Thank you to Sit Means Sit for giving Negan and our family the opportunity to have the best life ever together, was well worth the money. If you are thinking of having your dog trained please give them a call they will not disappoint.
Sit Means Sit has changed our lives! The miracles that JP has done with our 10 month old pitty mix, Jax was amazing. I've always loved my dog but I enjoy him so much more now that we've both had some training. We are so grateful and will continue to go to them.
