Testimonials

I can not say anything but good things about Sit Means Sit. Cody who talked to me during my consultation. He answered all my questions, gave me a few pointers, and did not rush or push me along. I very much appreciated that.

Emma our trainer was the best. She was very patient and I was able to contact her when my homework training wasn’t working like I thought it would. (Usually just needed a confidence boost.)

I would recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone serious in training their dog to be well-mannered and a happy companion to you and the whole family.

The entire Sit Means Sit team, especially our trainer Cody, were fantastic with our 18 month old German Shepherd. We did full day sessions followed by 1 on 1 training sessions and saw immediate improvement in handling, off leash commands, obedience within our home, and anxiety during vet visits. We are looking forward to continuing training with Cody’s group classes. We highly recommend Sit Means Sit to all our friends and family.

Would highly recommend Sit Means Sit dog training! Cody has been an excellent trainer to work with. He’s always available to answer any questions during the week, which has been extremely helpful. I got the training for my Yorkie who can be aggressive with other dogs. We still have a lot of work to do, but Cody has continued to provide suggestions on things we can work on in between the weekly group training classes.

I took my 2 year old pitbull here for obedience training/all around training. Cody was my trainer and he did an amazing job teaching me how to gain control over a high energy dog like this and he really took the time to teach me how and why specific training tactics were used. I would recommend this place to people with all ranges of needs for their dog training and absolutely go straight to Cody! He’s the best!

Emma was absolutely great with our dog, Otis. He is disabled and uses a wheelchair. She was creative and able to adapt with his training. We needed help on a more urgent basis and They were so responsive and made arrangements to get us in right away. Emma was available via phone for questions at anytime. Their collars and equipment are high-end. Definitely recommend sit means sit to anyone looking for a professional and responsive trainer. We really felt like they wanted the best for us and our dog, Otis.

We are so incredibly happy with Sit Means Sit. Cody did a wonderful job with our pitbull mix Keera! She was having issues with dog aggression, was absolutely terrible on a leash, and just wasn’t a good listener. She’s a much better dog after her one-on-one training sessions and we’re excited to start group classes soon. Keera seems like a much happier, confident dog now. I can’t imagine taking her anywhere else. We’d recommend Sit Means Sit to literally anyone. Thank you guys so much!!

Matt and Olivia are outstanding. From my first (rather hysterical) phone call to Olivia, to Matt’s almost immediate response was something I had never received before. Olivia was extremely sympathetic when I called (my husband wanted to put our dog down) and assured me that Sit Means Sit could help. Matt called and scheduled a visit almost immediately, assessed Chase, and gave us our options. We chose full immersion/board to give ourselves a break. Matt had Chase for 21 days, and returned a different dog to us! He comes, he places (kind of) and he sits (we are working on that one). He spent a lot of time showing my husband and me how/why/what to do to make Chase’s training successful. I am looking forward to attending the group classes and working with Matt’s trainers to learn more, for Chase and myself. I would definitely recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone with a dog with issues. Thanks for saving my dog!

Matt has trained two of my dogs. Zoie charged the door and was aggressive with delivery people. Odin lunged at new people. Now both dogs are obedient, relaxed and their behavioral issues are solved. Matt is a wonderful person and trainer. Thank you Matt!

Matt is a really excellent trainer. He not only trains your dog, but he also trains you to be a better dog handler.

When we first adopted Willie, a pit bull mix with a choppy backstory, we were told that he was great with other dogs. We found out within the first couple days of having him that ‘great’ was not the case. Willie was extremely dog reactive – he’d fixate on other dogs and growl like there was no tomorrow. It got to the point where I was scared to walk him because of how he reacted to other dogs. I started to wonder why he was like this, if it was because of his time in the high kill shelter in Alabama, if it was because he was beaten by one of his fosters, or even if it was me and if I wasn’t the right owner for him.

I started to realize that I needed to stop fixating on why he was like that – I just needed to help him. It wasn’t fair to him to be cooped up because I was afraid to take him outside. I started looking at trainers and quickly got discouraged because many facilities wouldn’t work with aggressive dogs.

And then I found Matt. At our consultation, Willie went berserk when he saw Kane, but that didn’t stop Matt from working with us. We started our private lessons in July and began taking Willie to group lessons in November.

It’s February. I can sit Willie next to another dog without getting nervous. He can focus on me instead of fixating on other dogs. Matt very well may have saved Willie’s life. And not only that, but he gave me the confidence that I needed to work with my dog. For this, Matt, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am a veterinarian who came to Matt and Sit Means Sit with a very sweet but very unruly rescue Pitbull puppy named Bosley. Admittedly, I was in over my head with training, but I wanted to learn and be very involved in the training process. Through a lot of time, hard work and patience, Matt has helped me develop Bosley into an incrediblely well behaved boy – I commonly get strangers asking who I worked with for training! Matt’s training has also helped strengthen the bond between myself and my loveable little pup, I am incredibly grateful to their team. I recommend Matt and Sit Means Sit to any of my friends and clients!
