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.If you are interested in scheduling one, give us a call at (508) 444‐8878

Sit Means Sit was so easy to work with and I highly recommend them! We just rescued a puppy and knew he needed training. Dave was SO knowledgeable, encouraging and had excellent communication which helped us get off on the right foot with our puppy! If we had any issue during the training, he was right there to coach us through it. The other staff at Sit Means Sit are all so friendly and are always happy to help!!! Highly recommend!

We just got our first vizsla and wanted to take all of the steps to ensure that she was well trained. I would recommend Dave to anyone I know! The difference that we saw in her even after one lesson is absolutely incredible. Dave is knowledgeable and gives you all of the tools you need for long lasting results with your dog!

Dave trained our two Swiss Mountain dogs and he did just an amazing job. By the 3rd lesson, our dogs were following all of the commands and were calm and under control. He did a great job helping us understand the ideas behind the training and the sessions were definitely enjoyable. He was also super responsive whenever we reached out on text for help/advice. Would highly recommend him!

We are new to the GSP breed and we were feeling overwhelmed with Duke’s amount of energy. After Duke’s first day with Dave he came home with manners! Dave is extremely knowledgeable and simplifies the training process so that it is easy to follow and maintain.
I am happy to report that Duke has enjoyed the beach (off leash!), nature walks, trips to stores and more family time because we are not feeling overwhelmed. Of course, Duke still has lots of energy and can still be naughty but we now have the skills to manage the behaviors!
We highly recommend Dave!
