I could write a small book praising this business and team for all they have done and continue to do for my dog and I. I was looking for somewhere that could help me eventually get my dog to be an off leash dog with good boundaries, confidence, and obedience. I am not a stern kind of dog owner that so many places and trainers seems to say is needed to train dogs, so came into this really not confident myself. I signed my 12 week old puppy for their puppy obedience course and haven’t looked back. The philosophy here is not punishment or alpha type of training. They simply teach, reinforce, redirect, and build the dogs confidence to do what is being asked. Once we completed the puppy course, we went right into the one-on-one training program with Heather and we have made such amazing progress. I say we, because I think more than anything, I needed to be trained on how to do this process with my pup. Heather has been so patient not only working with Luna and her puppy brain, but also answering all my questions and offering reassurance as someone who has never put my dogs through a structured training program. Sit Means Sit has been so flexible with tailoring a training program to Lunas needs and my lifestyle. They have made a point to address areas of concern I have, customize training techniques to how I do things at home, and offering various ways to do things. The principles are there but they really understand that these things are not one size fits all. They treat the dogs like family and the training really works! Luna is only 6 months old but already knows how to sit, stay, come, go to and stay on place, heel, and is making progress in even more areas. I could not and would not hesitate to suggest Sit Means Sit to anyone looking for their new dogs or even dogs that are older but still have training needs. I really wish I brought my previous dogs here because I can see how much more confident and outgoing Luna is already while still being a good girl. Also, love the Daycare program here! I can drop Luna off and the team helps work through her separation anxiety, reinforce her training, and give her some play time while I work. Please, go check it out and ask for Heather because she really is fantastic with the dogs and their owners!
