Sit Means Sit is a great place to have your dog trained. Tim and his staff have been great training my new puppy basic good behavior. My dog Trapper now sits and place on command, walks without pulling, comes when called, etc.; and socializes well with other dogs. . Tim also has a free group class on Saturdays for his graduates to continue with reinforcing skills learned from his classes. I recommend Sit Means Sit for all dogs.

A few days after we adopted our adorable Beagle, we understood why we were the fifth family in his life; his digging, escapades, anxiety, and over reactivity towards other dogs were hampering his integration with a family. A friend recommended checking Sit Means Sit training programs for Spyro. And we wouldn't have been successful in becoming Spyro's forever home without the outstanding help and training from Sit Means Sit, led by Tim and McKayla. They are excellent trainers, not only for dogs but also for their owners! My husband and I highly recommend their programs to all dog owners who want to become better families with their dogs. Tim and McKayla have been very professional, patient, caring, and helpful not only during Spyro's training but also after his sessions ended. Just as Tim told us during Spyro's free assessment: "With Sit Means Sit training, you can continue consulting us even after the training sessions end because we are committed to the dogs we train." And we couldn't be more thankful to Tim and McKayla for everything they have done, including that. Thank you, Tim and McKayla, without your Sit Means Sit training sessions and continued tips, we wouldn't be Spyro's happy forever family!

My Maltese rescue, Coco, is a very fearful dog. I honestly did not think she would be trainable, but Tim and McKayla were very good and patient with her. Coco completed 4 private all day lessons and has gone to a couple of the group lessons. She still gets spooked but I can tell her anxiety has gone down with the training. I highly recommend SMS San Diego.
