JD did amazing with our Labrador, Moose. Now every evening walk Moose walks off leash, we removed his cage around his bed after a trial period of leaving him at home while we are at work a few days a week, roaming freely and he has done great! He knows the difference between his bed and his “place”, and he is doing really well with knowing the difference. We are very grateful for you and the time you spent with Moose. We have been working with him every days and reinforcing the training you have taught him, and us. He loves to learn and he is such a great dog. Thank you for all of your help. We will be forever grateful! You won’t regret hiring a trainer from Sit Means Sit!

We are so incredibly grateful to Sit Means Sit. We had a dog we got at the shelter in March. After 6 months of being miserable, we were giving her one last chance by getting some professional training. We are now enjoying life with our dog and couldn’t be more pleased. Worth every penny!

JD did exactly what he said he would do with training goals for our puppy. It was a little on the high side of pricing , but we would do it again.

They did what they said they would do. JD & Kolby are very informative and good teachers for both me and my dog.

We did a 5 day jump start program. Our dog was so well behaved after just two sessions. Absolutely worth the price. Plus, we can drop in at group classes to reinforce her training and learn new skills.

Had a great training experience with Kolby for my (malinois)Toby. Before SMS it was imposible to take my dog out for a walk… the pulling and lack of basic obedience was unmanageable. Kolby was very knowledgeable and I couldn’t be happier with the progress Toby has made . Would definitely recommend, they work with your schedule and cost can be set up in payments!

JD is one of the best dog trainers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am a 72 yr old disabled vet who could not get his 80 lb Golden Retriever to jump in his SUV. She was getting heavier and I was getting weaker. My wife and I had tried all the youtube stuff. JD called and came out before working hours and got her to jump in the car in less than 10 minutes. The man is a dog whisperer and is definitely worth the time and money.

My Aussie “Charlie” and I had a great experience with SMS and our Trainer Kolby. Charlie was difficult to handle and barked a lot at other dogs and people. Kolby showed me how to keep Charlie’s attention and to keep control. Charlie caught on within 2 sessions and became very obedient and less aggressive with people and other dogs. We are very happy with Sit Means Sit training and follow-up.

I contacted Sit Means Sit after a close call with my 7 month old Ausie chasing off after a couple dogs to play. I thought I had him under command but realized he wasn’t and I needed help. JD and Kolby have changed Jake’s life, and mine as a dog owner, forever. When Kolby came for Jake’s first session he gave us a complete list of what to expect. Kolby trained up Jake to do exactly what he said Jake was capable of and more. I had a few bumps in the road with Jake 3 weeks after his initial training week, and Kolby came to my house the next day and showed me what ‘I’ was doing wrong. Problem solved. Our Saturday sessions are productive and great for multiple dog/people interactions. Kolby and JD have done everything they said they would. Their love and passion for the dogs and owners is genuine. Their system works. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit to any owner of a dog of any age, breed, or issues you have with you four legged family members. It is not cheap but it is the real deal. I can not believe my boy Jake is, at 10 months old, a wise and mature behaving, yet fully energized Ausie. Jake loves to ‘work’, and is so proud of himself. I believe he truly desires to show his skills. It is amazing.

My pup was so reactive that walks had become stressful for both of us. It felt like a constant struggle every time we left the house. We decided to try the jump start program, and within just a few days we noticed a huge difference.

I know every dog is different, but for us it finally felt like communication clicked. Our walks are calmer, our relationship is stronger, and Ramona seems so much more confident and comfortable. It’s honestly been a really positive change for both of us. I can’t thank the SMS team enough.
