We’ve had an absolutely amazing experience with this training facility. Donovan and Jimmy are very knowledgeable, kind, and patient trainers who worked so incredibly well training our dogs as well as training us! Our 10 year old dog has learned to break lifelong bad habits and our lives have been so much easier since dog training started. It is honestly close to a miracle that we can get our timid, shy dog to get comfortable around walking, following our lead, etc. I can’t thank them enough and I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for dog training. It was worth every penny!! You will not regret choosing this facility.

Kiera’s Story:

Before Training with Sit Means Sit: Kiera was a rescue dog we took in when she was only 10 weeks old. Right when she turned 9 months, she began fighting with and injuring our first dog, a 30 lb beagle named Hollie. Kiera, weighing in at 55+ lbs, would turn on Hollie at a moment’s notice, turning our household upside down.

My husband and I had to carefully monitor both dogs to make sure that they were securely separated at all times. It was a horrible time to deal with, as we wanted them to be friends and be good company for each other. It got so bad that my husband ended up getting injured while trying to separate one of the many dogfights when Kiera broke out of her secure area. We began looking at different shelters and organizations who would be willing to take her in, for fear that she would seriously hurt or kill Hollie.

That’s when I found ‘Sit Means Sit’. From the very first visit to our house, Luke was so reassuring and had full confidence in his system. He assured me that, if we stuck with his program, Kiera would become a well behaved pet and would be controllable. I was so skeptical, but we were out of options and decided to give it a try. After Training with Sit Means Sit: We saw changes in Kiera from the very first lesson. She finally began to take us seriously as her owners, and realized that we meant business.

After our individual classes had been completed, we had a perfectly well behaved, sweet natured dog who finally had a way to control her endless energy. Now, the two dogs play together on a daily basis and we have not had one single incident since ‘Sit Means Sit’ entered our lives. We can take her to the dog park or out on a trail anytime we want to, and know without a bit of doubt that she will always come when called, leave it when we ask her to, and obey us 100%. It is the greatest feeling in the world, and has enabled our family to come together more than I thought would be possible. If your dog has an issue, they can solve it and I am so grateful to Sit Means Sit for that.

10/10 recommend Sit Means Sit! Our labsky rescue, Aura, struggles with anxiety, reactivity, and lacked training/socialization. We were paired with Tessa and she recommended the first flight package for Aura. Within three sessions, she is doing great with place, come, sit, and heel. She also has more confidence and is able to pass other dogs calmly on trails. She still has some more work to do but thanks to Tessa and DJ, we have all of the tools for success. Thank you to the team at Sit Means Sit! 🙂

DJ was an incredible trainer with our puppy, Rosie. We have truly been amazed at her change over the past few months and we are so grateful for her new skills her ability to listen and follow commands. All of our family and neighbors have commented on the noticeable change. DJ was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and great at explaining how to work on the skills at home. We absolutely recommend DJ and Sit Means Sit to anyone looking for help with their dog’s behavior!

We brought in our 6yr old dog to help with retraining before an overseas move. Tessa was great with Raina and we have seen so much improvement in her behavior and her ability to follow directions. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit.

I brought my dog here about a month and a half ago and the difference that this training has made in him is amazing. Today, he graduated. My dog, Smitty, is 3.5 years old and has extreme anxiety, very nervous around people (that started to come out as aggression) and didn’t have the best manners in general. Leash pulling, not listening, barking, etc. DJ has been working with smitty and training with him, and has made a world of a difference for us. Even after his first class, we could see a positive change in Smitty. I cannot recommend this place and DJ enough. Thank you for everything, DJ!
