Sit Means Sit Athens deserves 5 stars, two thumbs up and four paws up! They are truly the best dog care service. My dog Winston has become so obedient, confident and self aware thanks to Patrick and Cybil! Great service all around I could not be happier!!!

After doing months of researching and debating we ran across Sit Means Sit Athens. Upon our first meeting, we knew that they were the only people we trust to train our dogs. We are extremely happy with the training that Cybill and Patrick did with our two dogs. We have an extremely anxious large lab mix dog and a Great Dane that thinks she’s a lap dog. They helped us to work with both resource guarding and confidence for our dogs. They will definitely be in our contacts with any dogs we get going forward and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trainer.
