Riley loves his trainer Tim! We were so nervous at first and wanted to make sure we were starting the right training program for our pup. Tim exceeded all our expectations. His patience and expertise have made a huge difference in Riley's behavior and our confidence as dog owners. Tim's approach has been so effective for Riley, and he’s always SO excited to see him when we drop him off. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled dog trainer.

Amazing! They genuinely care about improving the life of the dogs that come in for training and are very knowledgeable. The weekend group class is also a lot of fun.

Our experience with Tim at Sit Means Sit San Diego has been nothing short of miraculous. When we first introduced our rescue, Kooper, to Tim, we were in over our heads. Kooper was extremely reactive - his triggers ranged from other dogs to people, and even bikes. It felt like navigating a minefield every time we stepped outside. We were desperate for a solution, not just for our peace of mind, but more importantly, for Kooper's happiness and well-being. Tim's approach to our dilemma was transformative. His profound understanding of dog psychology and his patient, consistent guidance has revolutionized our daily lives. Tim didn't just train Kooper; he educated us. He helped us understand the "whys" behind Kooper's behavior and equipped us with the tools and knowledge to foster a positive environment for Kooper to thrive in. The change in Kooper is astounding. The dog that once lunged and snapped at anything that moved now enjoys long, peaceful walks on the beach. While Kooper may not be ready to mingle with every dog he encounters, his aggression has significantly diminished. He no longer tries to lunge and bite. This change alone has opened up a new world for us and Kooper, where walks are no longer a source of anxiety but an opportunity to explore and enjoy. Most importantly, Kooper is happy. He has settled into his forever home with a sense of calm and contentment that we once thought was impossible. The difference in his demeanor is a testament to Tim's expertise and the effective, compassionate training methods employed by Sit Means Sit. To anyone feeling discouraged by their dog's reactivity or anxiety, know that there is hope. Tim and the Sit Means Sit team can truly make a significant difference. Our journey with Kooper is a testament to the fact that with the right help, you too can have a "damn good dog." Our heartfelt thanks go to Tim and everyone at Sit Means Sit San Diego. Your dedication to transforming the lives of dogs and their families is truly commendable.

I don’t usually post reviews on any platforms. However, if you have a reactive dog and have been struggling to train them like myself, please give Tim (sit means sit) a chance. The result for my dog is unbelievable. We have a reactive dog, does not like other dogs or men in general. We adopted her 6 years ago and went through at least 4 training programs and spent thousands of dollars over the years; nothing worked until Tim stepped in. Our dog bonded with Tim within a week, we have never seen her felt comfortable with any male trainers. She would run to Tim as soon as she sees him. I am so appreciative of Tim and the training program. If I’m honest, I was a bit nervous and skeptical of the e-collar. I even tested it on myself just to be safe… our dog gets so excited when she sees the collar because she knows it’s time to go outside and have fun. It’s been 2 years since we completed the training program with Tim. We just got back from a trip to PA. We were able to let her off leash, run around and have fun. She is doing so good with the recall. She still has some barking accidents with other dogs, but immediately stops when we call her name and click the remote. We went through so many different trainings prior to this. This program is the only one that actually worked; best purchase ever.
