What people have asked about this business.
Hi, my dog is older (4), can he still be trained?
Absolutely! The person who coined the saying you cannot teach an old dog new tricks- was just lazy! We train all ages!

There are a number of factors that we evaluate prior to building a training package for you such as your dog’s age, temperament, previous training, as well as the desired goals of the owner. Because of these factors, we offer a free demonstration & consultation as an opportunity to meet with your family as well as your dog to gain insight into the unique circumstances that affect your dog’s training.

How much do you charge just for leash training? I have a four year old border collie and she is well trained accept on a leash. She heals until she sees another dog and lunges after them. She has has sprained my hand trying to pull her.
We do not charge ala cart prices for commands. We have all inclusive packages that allow us to dig deep into your dogs reactivity and give you more than just a band aide.

Our sweet rescue dog, Penny, suffered from extreme anxiety and OCD-like behavior. We decided to board her at Sit Means Sit and couldn’t be happier with the results. The trainers showed her (and us) so much love and compassion and they were willing to work through Penny’s challenging behaviors. She is now a completely different dog…calm, obedient, and still as sweet as ever. Highly recommend Sit Means Sit for anyone interested in dog training that WORKS.

Having lost a pet due to a lack of recall, we wanted to make sure our new pup got proper training. The staff as SMS treated our girl with love and adoration, while also setting the foundation for a solid future where she is safe and attentive.
