Reactive

A reactive dog overreacts to normal situations that other dogs would take in stride.

Honestly the best decision I made was having my dog trained through Sit Means Sit. The price is totally worth the investment you will receive for years to come! My dog started at 6 months old and after the 6 weeks the results are amazing! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. Sit Means Sit not only helps train your dog but they also help YOU learn how to properly communicate and build an everlasting mutual respect between you and your dog. I will continue to use them for their group classes and will refer anyone I know looking for training to them!

We took our 4 year old lab Buster to Sit means Sit for some manners! He was a great dog but needed some manners when he was out and about! Our goal was to be able to bring Buster out with us to be part of our family! Buster started as a board and train client and we as a family had follow up sessions with the staff to learn all the commands! We can’t be happier with how well Buster has responded to the training and all the lessons! The staff is so knowledgeable and willing to share all their experience they have with dogs with their clients! Super clean facility as well. Highly recommend to anyone with a puppy or even an older dog that needs some guidance! Thank you Sit means sit staff for helping have Buster a more well behaved pup!
