FirstBarkThey just get it! Tim is one of the kindest people I've met and has such a talent when it comes to dog training (and human training let's be real). He'll never charge you for something you don't need. He takes the time to understand you, your dog, and your unique situation. I've never felt so empowered and equipped after a training session. We love SMS San Diego!

As a first time dog owner, I got referrals to many dog trainers. Tried two before going to Sit means Sit without even being close to where I wanted be with my dog’s obedience. Tim stated to work with my dog and after couple of classes you could see trainings are working. My dog lived to go yo the class snd this was the sign that the training was not with aggressive approaches, in contrary of the previous place I took him. On first meeting Tim said that he will be our dog’s trainer forever and I still take my dog to his group classes, call him for questions and concerns I have and he always makes himself available to help. Forgot to mention that I am taking my second dog to his classes snd will in the future if I have more dogs. Many thanks for all your support Tim.
So far our experience with Sit means Sit has been amazing.
Tim and his group did wonders with my dog, Gobi. She’s so much better behaved and became a canine good citizen.
I’m so thankful for Tim and the team at Sit Means Sit San Diego. I brought my mini goldendoodle, Oliver, to Tim when he was a little over 5 months old.

I’m so thankful for Tim and the team at Sit Means Sit San Diego. I brought my mini goldendoodle, Oliver, to Tim when he was a little over 5 months old. I signed up for the once a week for four week package which included a full day of training one day a week for four weeks and a year of group training. At the conclusion of each training day, Tim shows you what your dog has learned and covers what they went over throughout the day so you can go home and practice for the following week. When the weekly trainings are over, you start attending group classes on Saturday. The group classes are SO beneficial and help you continue to sharpen your training and overall relationship with your dog. Over a year later and I still try to do them any weekend I have a free Saturday morning. Tim’s guidance and tools set you up for success. He truly loves dogs and is always available for questions and concerns. He takes the time to understand you and your dog and what your goals for training are. He makes training feel manageable and not overwhelming and gave me the confidence to know that Oliver and I could have success. I can’t stress enough how much I recommend this training program. I plan to do it for every future dog I own. If you’re on the fence, look no further. It is worth the investment. With Tim and SMS and a little hard work and commitment, you will be so pleased with the outcome and your dog will thank you too.
