Sit Means Sit Dog Training

What a difference training has made! I was walking my dog daily with stress and apprehension...trying to avoid crossing paths with other dogs, their owners, pedestrians (even school kids waiting at bus stops) and bicyclists as my dog would lunge and bark looking crazily aggressive. Now that we have an understanding of how it’s supposed to work as to who is in control, both my dog and I are enjoying our outings. Yippee! Thankyou Julie and Kris! More...

I highly recommend ‘Sit Means Sit’. Our 1 year old Golden Retriever, Comet, was out of control, jumping on everybody and everything. He would only listen to me if I had treats, none of my kids wanted to be around him and my wife refused to take him on a walk because he was so difficult to control. It got to the point that my wife and I felt that we made a huge mistake in bringing a dog into our family. About a month ago, we signed up Comet for a 10 day program at ‘Sit Means Sit’ and I will be forever grateful that we did. Comet was trained over the 10 days and the trainers taught my family how to incorporate their training at home and in public. Fast forward to today, my kids love to be around Comet, my wife jogs with him and I can either play or sit with him without him jumping all over me. We can’t speak highly enough of this company and the fantastic people who work there! Thanks to them and their training, we have a well behaved dog and our experience in raising him is much more positive than it was before! More...

Wonderful training, well worth the cost. My boys are new dogs and I can walk them without having a backache when Im done.

I worked mainly with Victoria, Kristin and Justin and they are awesome. They did so well training our 6 month old German Shepherd. They also take the time to make sure you understand how to continue the training at home and how to control your dog. The other great thing about this program is the option of having someone come to your house and work on issues that you have in your home. Although it’s a smidge pricey it’s worth it as you get a lifetime membership and can call them at any point in the future and they’re there for you. We basically have a whole new dog and I am SO thankful for Sit means Sit More...

Sit means sit is an absolutely amazing dog trainer. We have a retriever mix who had just about every anxiety problem you could imagine. He was insecure, he would bark for HOURS when left alone, destroy every thing in his sight, pee and poop anywhere he wanted, he hated anyone who came into the house and bark bark barked. We couldn't have him anywhere near other dogs, he was overprotective of me. He was a train wreck. After coming home from his 4 weeks board and train, I thought they gave me the wrong dog. He was barely making noise right off the plane. He sat immediately after being told when I disassembled his crate for the car ride home. It was almost like he was tired but he wasn't. It's not been easy since he's been home, but it's not the way it use to be either. I have to use higher collar pressure sometimes because he's stubborn. Sometimes he has accidents in the house and sometimes he gets into the trash when home alone Bear is 4 years old and has always been this wayBUT its been 2 month since he came back home and I haven't heard him bark when left alone, we can go on walks and pass other dogs, people, bikes, etc.. his confidence is through the roof now. He's so happy and energetic. He loves everyone who comes over. Correcting 4 years worth of unwanted behavior certainly has its challenges but with dedication, it's possible! The training doesn't end when your dog comes home, that's where it truly begins. Scott and his crew are dedicated to seeing your doggo succeed. We had to reschedule Bears training 2-3 times because he had TPLO surgery twice and they were completely understanding. Scott is so quick to answer any questions or concerns you might have. When guests come over, they always say how well behaved Bear is and how quickly he responds to a command. It's changed our life and made Bear the happy, confident dog he was meant to be. I would recommend to anyone with any dog issues. They know what they're doing because they've seen it all. They are also trainers for life. If you move, you're covered. If doggo regresses, you're covered. When life happens, they've got you covered. More...

We have a 7 month old dogo argentino.  We had been working on training her ourselves.  We had mild success.  She is an extremely powerful dog and mild success was not adequate.  When she decided to do what she wanted to it was difficult to stop her.  Long story short we went on a week vacation and needed to board her so we decided to spend the extra for a board and train.   We called several trainers on Oahu and Sit Means Sit on Maui.  The off island fact made them Our last choice when we made the list.  However, they were extremely responsive and professional.  Not pushy or put out by our inquiries and questions.  They sent over a good information package with videos.  They quickly rose up our list and finally we opted to go with Sit Means Sit.  Our dog,Hina, did a 10 day board and train.  She came back a different dog.  Still loving and puppy as ever but we were able to control her 100% of the time.  Her obedience is exponentially greater.  SCOTT did 2 follow up visits a week apart at our home.  Both were simple and to the point.  He explained how she was trained so we could understand the training philosophy and how to use the ecollar. The following week was a tune up for us which was very helpful In sharpening our skills.  I would and have recommended Sit Means Sit to friends.   Hi as obedience has made us much more comfortable taking her to public places and having her around other animals.  If you don't know dogos google them.  They are very trainable but also powerful bodies and personalities.   Thank you Scott More...

SMS in Austin has been amazing. Bella, my 4 yr old German Shepherd and I have been in training with them for almost a year. No one else would work with Bella as she was aggressive towards strangers and other dogs and is 85lbs. SMS didn't hesitate. Don't know what I would have done without them. The trainers are so professional, helpful, knowledgeable, patient, with both the dogs and the people. I don't know how but they notice everything in class even with so many dogs. Especially catching and praising when your dog or you does something good or stepping in to help and redirect when your in trouble. They are hands-on, return phone calls and emails, and have even come to my house to help when I was stuck. In the board and train we got weekly videos of Bella's progress. I can't say enough about the staff. I haven't met one of them yet that I don't feel 100% confident with. A special acknowledgement to Kelli, can't say enough good things about her. literally-WOW. She's great. Also, Mica, Nate (miss you and wish we could have had you for longer), Carrie and Adam and the redhead w/tattoos in North Austin (LOL) Thank you all so, so much.

Sit Means Sit was the best thing I could have done for my dog.  For years I have been unable to enjoy my dog, especially when my dog took me for a walk when I wanted to spend quality time with him.  As a result, he stayed in the house or backyard, never leaving because he would not take any directions as the world revolved around him.  Several friends and family members took their dogs to this training with amazing results.  I thought I would give it a try as I did want to enjoy my dog and up to this point in his young life, there was not a lot of enjoyment going on.After two weeks of training - WOW!! My dog is in a great place now, fun to be around and I can take my dog for a walk now and lead him instead of he leading me!!  I take my dog out at least once a day and as I am getting my exercise and enjoyment, my dog is getting the same, right by my side, not wanting to stray off even when a rabbit runs by!!  This has been the most worthwhile investment I have made since obtaining my Weimaraner four years ago.  After two weeks of being home since the training concluded, my dog is now walking with me off-leash (something I never envisioned).  The staff was absolutely amazing and Carolyn is the best!!  Although everyone had a hand in Ki's training, Carolyn made him the dog he is today with the loving patience that she had with him.  During the weekly aftercare training, Ki just loves to see her!!  To all the staff of Sit Means Sit, thank you!!  You all are great and a pleasure to be with and around whenever we see you at training!!

Very happy with everything Cash has learned in the 5 day board and train. It will be a continuous thing because he’s still so young but they gave us a great start! I felt like I still have my sweet lovable boy but he doesn’t act like a wild hyena now. I highly recommend them. The boarding room was nice and very clean. They sleep in separate kennels right beside each other, there isn’t any stacked or anything. Very cool so they don’t get hot. He was feed and given his treats like I asked. They gave me updates and let me be the person who might be too much. I was very comfortable with all the staff there. You can definitely tell they love what they do and truly care about the dogs.

If every dog in the world were trained by Tim, we can all walk around with our dogs, leash free!  Sadly that isn't the case but if you have a dog then I highly recommend Sit Means Sit San Diego.  Tim encouraged me to become the leader and handle my dog with confidence.  I've had several different trainers for my German Shepherd Dog but Tim was the most effective and in the least amount of time.  Once we completed training, we attended group classes and I will have to admit that I was very nervous about it.  However, Tim and Dee were extremely cautious and aware of each dog and the interaction with the others.  I have complete confidence in them and have enjoyed the group classes.  One really great thing is when Jack sees Tim, he wants to run to him and greet him with much affection.  He doesn't react like that to all people  so I know Tim is a good guy.  The interaction between Tim and Jack is comforting.  As soon as Jack sees Tim, he pulls me in his direction and when Tim say, "Jacky!" then Jack goes wild with affection.  Thanks for taking care of my best friend!

After we adopted a rescue dog, we quickly realized that we needed to get him trained. He was still a puppy and we were having no luck getting him to listen or obey. He was hyper and skittish. We selected Sit Means Sit and were very impressed with their method and results. As it turns out, Bodi is deaf and has anxiety. So Adam had a challenge on his hands and Bodi's transformation was remarkable!  As it turned out, three years later we needed training help again when Bodi started balking at getting groomed. He became aggressive with our groomer and nothing she, or we, did helped. We contacted Adam, and they solved the problem! Jessica is a great trainer and groomer on staff and she took it slow and made it palatable for him. Now he loves Jessica! In addition, they've made it very convenient to get him groomed every few weeks with Jessica. We highly recommend Sit Means Sit! More...
