Jaclyn lives in Arlington with her husband, daughter, and three fur kids. She’s always known that she wanted a career working with dogs, and has been a trainer with Sit Means Sit since 2018. Her favorite part of dog training is watching pups transform into well-behaved, happy animals, and she loves being able to give owners the tools they need to be able to enjoy being with their dogs. Jaclyn says the best gift she ever received was her sweet four-legged assistant, Bentley, whose good behavior demonstrates her passion and talent as a trainer.

In 2013, Mindy brought home a blue heeler mix rescue pup. He was super sweet, but his endless energy and behavior challenges soon became a problem. She reached out to Sit Means Sit for help and after seeing the results from the program, decided she wanted to share that experience with other dog owners. Now Mindy is one of our most experienced trainers and her dog Naria has learned from our system since she was a 9 week old puppy. Mindy and Naria enjoy each other’s company and often spend time hiking and going to farmers markets and puppy playdates. 

Tammy has loved and owned dogs all of her life. Her first experience with training happened when her aging grandfather asked her to train a lab puppy to become his service dog, and she reached out to Sit Means Sit for help. Through that experience she learned that she had a passion for helping dogs and owners live their best lives together. Tammy has a degree in child development which she finds to be very helpful while working with dogs. She has worked with kids for most of her life and her son loves to help her with dog training.

Penny has been an animal lover all her life.  She became passionate about dogs  when she rescued a Border Collie puppy 25 years ago.  Realizing what an important member of her family he quickly became and how special he was to her girls growing up. Knowing that she wanted to help other families have the same great experience, made it an easy decision to work with dogs as a career. Earned certification through Animal Behavior College in 2018 and started her career with Sit Means Sit in 2020. She shares her home with 3 dogs and 3 cats.  Her goal is to help dogs reach their potential so they may have a forever home and  the joy that having a well behaved dog brings to a family.
