I’m so happy with the 7-day board and train program from Sit Means Sit for my two 2-year-old dogs, Grace and Golden. Before training, neither of them really knew any commands. They were very strong, pulled hard on the leash, and often distracted by other dogs, people, or even interesting smells. Honestly, it felt like they were walking me instead of me walking them. Taking both of them out together was stressful because I felt like I had very little control. Golden also had a fear of jumping onto a bench or into my car, even though he had no physical problems. He once tried to jump on a bench and failed, and after that he became scared. I always had to use a dog ramp and my own strength to help him get into the car. After their 7-day board and train with Sit Means Sit, I could see a real difference. Grace and Golden came back with much better manners and knew essential commands. Kris and Maisie did an amazing job not only training my dogs, but also teaching me how to communicate with them more clearly and confidently. Now I feel much more in control when I walk them. They are calmer, less distracted, and much easier to handle outside. One of the biggest changes for me was seeing Golden confidently hop onto a bench and into my car without needing the ramp anymore. That was something he had never done before. I am truly grateful for the care, patience, and knowledge Kris and Maisie gave to Grace and Golden. I feel so much happier and more confident with my dogs now. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone looking for real results and better communication with their dogs.

I took my Akita puppy to Sit Means Sit, where she and I learned how to train each other. She’s such a well behaved dog now that she comes to work with me. Kris is truly a “Dog Whisperer!”

Our 10 month old puppy was completely out of control when we brought him to Sit Means Sit. Now he’s a civilized well behaved puppy that’s a pleasure to have around. A million thanks to the trainers here. Take it from me, make this your first choice, not your last resort after other trainers fail. Worth every penny invested!

I brought my puppy (9 months) here for a 1 week boarding class and they did an amazing job. I would recommend this place to friends and family. My puppy, Snoop learned commands that make my life easier. Snoop came back a different dog and he has been such a good boy since. Thank you to the Sit means sit team!!

It works! I had adopted a stray who came with the added bonus of reactivity, to people and animals. I initially tried a program offered through a well known pet store, but it didn’t work at all! I wasn’t sure which training company to select from the numerous offered in the area, but I liked the reviews for Sit Means Sit Tampa. After meeting with Kris, he answered all my questions, and I knew he would take care of my baby. After a week of Board and Train, it was like I had a brand new dog!! Don’t hesitate to try. Fantastic program.
