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!

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.

With both our dogs going through the Sit Means Sit program, we could not be happier with the results. Our puppy went from zero (training) to hero with the 10 day board and train, the before and after was almost unbelievable.
Working with Andy, the home visits and field trip lessons after the board and train has been a game changer. He makes dog training enjoyable for us humans and the dogs while helping us understand the goals and expectations.
We tell everyone we know with dogs Sit Means Sit South OC is the way to go. Can not recommend enough!

I am writing to share our wonderful experience with Sit Means Sit and the excellent training they provided for our Pomeranian, Amber. As a small dog weighing only 4 lbs, Amber has always been the tiniest participant in her training cohort, which made us initially apprehensive. However, the incredible team at Sit Means Sit has gone above and beyond to ensure she feels safe and comfortable despite the presence of much larger dogs.
From the very first session, it was evident that the trainers genuinely care about the well-being of each dog. They create a nurturing environment that allows Amber to thrive. The positive reinforcement techniques they utilize not only keep the dogs engaged but also foster a sense of trust and security. We have been truly impressed by how quickly Amber has adapted and started to learn. She eagerly anticipates her training sessions, showcasing her excitement whenever we approach the training facility.
The variety of exercises is another highlight of their program. Each session is infused with fun activities that not only challenge the dogs but also allow us, as owners, to participate actively in the learning process. This engaging approach has strengthened our bond with Amber and made her training experience enjoyable.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered Sit Means Sit. Their expert guidance and compassionate training methods have made a significant difference in Amber’s development and confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to any dog owner looking for an enriching training experience for their furry companions.

Great dogs training program! Our 1-year old Golden Doodle Kobe used to be so crazy and wild but this program helped us to calm him down and discipline him. He now listens, follows the commands and is a pleasure to be around! Thank you Sit Means Sit crew!

What a wonderful experience we’ve had with Sit means Sit. Our little Lucy was only 3 pounds and had no confidence, scared of everything, and visibly stressed on walks. Sit means Sit gave her the confidence to go on long walks and not be afraid of other dogs and actually want to play with them. Her training has also kept her safe and made her the most enjoyable pet we have ever had. It’s just been the best experience for Lucy and our family. Lucy is the sweetest well trained dog. I get compliments wherever I go. Andy the trainer was the absolute best! Lucy just adores him. Our family appreciates everything you guys did for Lucy.I highly recommend the training to all my family, friends and even strangers!!
