Teddy WallOwner

Hi, I am the owner at Sit Means Sit located in Murfreesboro.  I moved here in 1996 from Long Island, NY.  In 2001, I graduated from MTSU with a degree in criminal justice.  Since I was 5, I have been a soccer player and competed at the college level.  I am also an avid Crossfitter.  I have an AMAZING daughter who shares her father’s love for animals.

After being in the corporate world since I graduated college, I decided to take a leap of faith and pursue a career in canine instruction. After working with several different trainers and then attending a school for professional training of our furry friends, I made the decision to open a Sit Means Sit franchise.  I have worked with and been around dogs all my life, anywhere from high obedience/protection dogs to your basic household pet.

The more I get involved with training and learning about dog behavior the more I realize I have an unmatched passion for training dogs.  There is nothing more satisfying than having a dog that is well-behaved and well-mannered.  This will create a happy family and a happy dog!  I am honored to have this opportunity to bring a Sit Means Sit to Middle Tennessee!

Hey there, I handle sales at Sit Means Sit in Murfreesboro. I grew up on my family’s large farm in Pall Mall, TN.  After graduating high school I moved here to attend MTSU. I got my degree in Horticulture and opened my first Garden Center in 2001 in Lascassas. I have three wonderful children who definitely keep me on my toes.  I enjoy anything fitness, being with family, love to travel, plants are my jam, and dogs bring me much joy.

Since I was a child, I have always enjoyed talking to people and making people smile. Hence why I have always enjoyed selling plants.  I became part of the Sit Means Sit family for the same reason.  Making people and their four legged friends happy.  Once I saw the relationship Sit Means Sit creates between owners and their dogs I knew I wanted to be a part of that process.

Being a part of Sit Means Sit has allowed me to meet so many amazing people and the opportunity to love on all the dogs, but most of all it has allowed me to be a part of building a wonderful client/dog relationship.  Nothing beats going to work daily to wagging tails and smiles.

Mabuhay! I’m happy to be the Office Manager of Sit Means Sit in Murfreesboro. You’ll never forget my name as I’ll always be the first one to answer whenever you call! Originally from the Philippines, I earned a degree in Marketing and built a career in the corporate world, where I discovered my passion for serving people. However, when the pandemic hit, I found myself far from my family and decided to take a leap of faith, transitioning to remote work. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, not only do I get to help people, but I also get to make a difference in the lives of their four-legged companions.

Being part of the Sit Means Sit family has given me the opportunity to learn, grow, and witness firsthand the incredible bond between dogs and their owners. Every day, I see how the right training transforms frustration into confidence and strengthens relationships. It’s truly rewarding to be part of a team that helps both dogs and their humans live happier, more harmonious lives.

Our sweet little Daisy use to not be “so sweet”. Actually she was a major pain in the rear until Teddy came into the picture. She is so well behaved and quick with her commands now. My 8 year old couldn’t stand her because she would always bite and jump on him. Yes she is…

I’ve known Teddy Wall for years through soccer. My sons and he have played in adult soccer league for years… I had purchased a long haired German Shepherd 10 months old weight around 70 lb. and told my son that I needed someone to train him as I was older now and did not want…
