Phoebe, our goldendoodle, truly couldn’t have been in better hands with Sit Means Sit Syracuse and Isabel Marks. You can feel how much they genuinely care, and it shows in everything they do. Phoebe grew so much, and we did too, the guidance they gave us is something we’ll carry with us. So grateful for this team!

Where do your training lessons take place?
One of our biggest training philosophies is tackling any training issue at the root of the problem, which is usually away from the home under distracting environments. That being said, we encourage both private and group training sessions at our facility or in a public setting that we refer to as “field trips”! If there are specific issues at your home, we offer lessons there to tackle those specific issues. If you have more questions about our programs, give us a call or fill out the form on our website.

What are prices? To do this
Sometimes they do have a coupon in the clipper flyer. Prices vary depending on the package. A couple hundred to a thousand dollars. I had a very aggressive dog and he did wonderful with Sit Means Sit.

Stanley worked with both Isabelle and Jo. He learned so much in the three days. Very impressed with the progress he made. This is my second dog to attend classes and highly recommend sit means sit.
Great experience at sit means sit we had a dog that didn’t like other dogs and two times he is almost there

As previous dog owners, we found ourselves in over our heads training our high-energy rescue who is a Great Pyrenees, Siberian Husky, Lab mix. We tried books, private in-home training, and other resources to guide us but we’re finding some things would stick, others were a real struggle with our somewhat defiant and highly intelligent energetic girl. Our biggest challenges included leash pulling, mouthing/biting, no boundaries, and resisting her crate. After one day of training with Cameron and the team at SMS we saw improvements. By the time we finished our three day-training sessions we saw major improvements. While we were reluctant to use an e-collar on our pup, we have learned to understand and appreciate it when it comes to corrections. Consistency is key with this program like any, and the helpful videos the trainers share throughout their process help tremendously in continuing to implement training in your personal space. We are all in a much happier place after training with Sit Means Sit. The team is so passionate about their trade and you can visibly see their genuine connections with each dog they train. Pricing for the day-training program is reasonable considering once you complete the program, you’re able to opt into future classes without having to pay. Highly recommend!
Jo was fantastic with our puppy Nala! Just completed our 3 day training and will continue taking group classes! We’ve seen significant improvements in Nalas focus and attention!
