Bruno is a sweet, loving and very determined Great Dane.  He thinks that he is a guard dog and his main job is to protect the house, yard, car and family.   This is not an easy trait to deal with in any dog, but Bruno’s size made things more difficult.  I had a hard time…

Greta is an 8 year old German Shepherd who loves squeaky toys, balls, kids, traveling, camping and hiking. Her best tricks are “leave it” and jumping through a hula-hoop. Greta is alert in the home and was very distracted on leash walks. Her mom and dad wanted her to have better recall for her safety. She is, sweet…

Dookie is a very sweet 4 year old black Lab/Shepherd mix, who is aggressive around other dogs, especially when he is on a leash. We started working with Lisa in October 2013 and I immediately noticed a big improvement. We live in the North Hills, so it’s quite a hike to get to the South Hills for classes,…

Rae is an English Pointer mix who was adopted in August 2012. She’s about 77 pounds and is very stubborn for me, much more so than for my husband. We also have a Collie mix and a black Lab. One of the issues we had with Rae was finding her position in the “pecking order”…

Colby was found as a stray and was taken to the Humane Society. He was only there for three days before we found him on their website. He was about 4 months old. We named him Colby for his tan & white color – just like Colby Jack cheese! We grew up with small dogs and…

  I would highly recommend Sit Means Sit. My dog, Charlie, responded very well. The area I see the biggest improvement is off leash. We take her to dog parks frequently, and before this training she completely ignored my husband and I as soon as she entered the gate. Now, she responds even from a…

  I have a yellow Lab/Golden Retriever mix named Lola – she is about 70 pounds and 19 months old. Lisa came to my house over the summer to give lessons and Lola loved her and her dog Copper. Lola is very friendly, loves all dogs and people. But she does have a stubborn streak…

Moby is a three year old chocolate Lab who we adopted at 12 weeks as his prior owners couldn’t properly care for him. Moby was a pretty good dog in a lot of ways but as he got older, his behavior got worse, to the point that we were embarrassed to take him on walks, primarily…

Sit Means Sit has been a great investment for my dog, Bella, and for me. Bella is an 18 month old English Bulldog. She is 70 pounds and was difficult for me to handle when she was distracted by people or dogs. Bella has made drastic improvements in her listening skills and behaviors. She has…
