Testimonials

Kyle is amazing. I didn’t grow up with dogs and needed to know how to teach my dog. Tucker is a much gentler and obedient dog thanks to Kyle’s training! Couldn’t recommend him more!

We could not be more thrilled with how amazing our dog, Clyde, is behaving after a board and train with Kyle! Prior to receiving training with Kyle, Clyde did not listen to any commands, he barked frequently, was impossible to wrangle, cried incessantly when in his crate and displayed overly protective behavior. Upon his return, Clyde is following all commands he learned, he seems less anxious and more relaxed, he willingly goes into his crate without distress and generally understands his role in our lives much more. Training with Kyle has been an invaluable experience and one that has already changed Clyde’s life and ours for the better in a multitude of ways!

Kyle is absolutely amazing. I was having major behavioral issues with my 10-month-old goldendoodle Honey. She had issues sleeping in with crate-training, not following commands, pulling on the leash, and door boundary issues. After a 10-day board and train with Kyle, she came back a completely different puppy. She loves her crate, follows commands, walks on a leash easily, and looks to me as her rightful owner. I recommend Kyle to any dog owners. I can’t thank him enough!

Kyle is a fantastic teacher! He is professional and effective at achieving great results! He also provides ongoing group classes as refreshers for both Hudson and me.

5 stars all the way!! As a mom to two young children and two Bernedoodles I needed help! Kyle exceeded our expectations not once but twice! Helping correct the pulling, jumping on people, and not running out the ALL OF IT. Now we are able to enjoy our giant fur babies, going on long walks, playing in the snow and just sitting outside in the spring off leash watching people walk by while I play with the kids💕 you name it! We can do it! All the thanks to Kyle and sit means sit

I cannot believe what a transformation! Kyle is really really good and he loves your dog too! It was so important for me to have a well trained dog. He has changed her from a hard headed puppy to a happy, loving, eager to please dog. I mean really! She doesn’t even need her leash anymore. She listens eagerly and can’t wait to show you how she behaves so well. I’ve had trainers before. 🙄🙄 But Kyle IS THE REAL DEAL! I can’t thank him enough. A well behaved dog makes the owner love that dog even more. Stress free! I can’t thank him enough. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’m so impressed! Thank you Kyle!

Kyle does such a wonderful job. I have a pretty smart and somewhat dominant mixed breed rescue pup and, while she wasn’t the worst dog before this training, she certainly had some issues. After just two sessions with Kyle she is practically a different dog. Still the same wonderful personality, now just with the ability to control herself around other dogs and humans (she used to have to say hi to everyone, at all costs). I actually enjoy walking her and am not worried about her barreling over strangers. Totally recommend.

I have a 6 year old Doberman and have pretty good control of in the house and to a good degree out in public. I was totally amazed how I could drop my dog off and in less than eight hours be presented with a total new welled behaved dog. The value really comes when Kyle explains dog psychology and things that I totally was unaware of. We can love our pets to such a degree that we may cause them more harm by not understanding some basic and essential concepts. I have so much respect for the work that you guys do and the love that you have for our pets. Thanks a million for helping me be a better owner.

Our experience with Kyle at Sit Means Sit was amazing! Kyle is very knowledgeable and was able to train our dog Charlie in just one week! Kyle went above and beyond to make sure our Charlie was trained and continues to check in on how our family and Charlie are doing!

We highly recommend Kyle and to take advantage of his one week boarding…your dog will come back as a well trained loving part of your family!

Kyle is the best! He has trained 2 of our mixed breed dogs (both adopted from shelter). He is extremely knowledgeable and will work with you to make sure not only the dog but the owner as well get the most from his training. We are very fortunate to have had him work with both of our dogs. He is extremely reliable and eager to work with his clients at any means necessary. Both of our dogs love him so much and loved going to training with him. Thank you Kyle!

I couldn’t be more impressed with Kyle and his services. Very respectful and knowledgeable. He was always easy to get ahold of and he was always letting me know exactly what the plan was and he did a great job following up.

My dog Remy went from a pulling disobedient anxious mess to a calm obedient gentle doggo. I was doubtful that 4 8 hour lessons could make a difference. But I had to eat my words because he is a changed doggo! Thank you Kyle and sit means sit Nashville!

Kyle and Sit Means Sit did such a wonderful job training our Alaskan malamute. Our dog was pretty rowdy before meeting Kyle but he was able to change all her behaviors and make her very obedient. I cannot recommend Kyle enough, thanks for everything you do!!!

If there were more stars to give I would! Kyle transformed all 3 of my dogs. I have a cavachon and 2 Cavapoos. I researched trainers and interviewed 3. Kyle was hands down the one I went with. I was hesitant…would any of their personalities change, as I love each dog so much! However the barking, jumping, not heeling, not listening was out of hand. When I dropped all 3 off, Kyle spent time with them and me just casually talking while they got used to him with me there. All 3 were comfortable with him before I left and so too was I! When I picked them up, Kyle spent time with me and each dog one at a time, training me – the most important ingredient to the success we’ve experienced! Kyle’s knowledge, experience and ways with dogs is OUTSTANDING! I especially appreciated that he genuinely loves his job and cares for each dog he trains. Thank you Kyle!

We sent our dog Bentley there with severe anxiety for the board and trade program and Kyle was awesome! We now have full control of our dog, he no longer jumps on us when we come home and he will listen to any command we tell him. He will even sit and stay put as we walk away over 20 yards, where before he wouldn’t stay if we walked 5 feet away. I highly recommend Sit means Sit and Kyle!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Sit Means Sit! Our dog was very stubborn and wanted to be the alpha of our house. Working with Kyle was great and they help train you how to properly train your dog and teach them to listen and respect you!

I was beyond happy with Stella Rae’s five day training. I recommend 100% it was worth every penny. My puppy is off the leash trained and sat on a patio at a restaurant for 2 hours with the best manors the day after she got back. Thank you thank you!

Sit Means Sit is a fantastic training program. I have been through a number of trainers until we found Kyle and his team at Sit Means Sit. Both of my Huskies have been through their board and train with outstanding success! My pups go everywhere and are constantly being complemented on their great behavior. My dogs are so excited to see him during group classes.. Thank you Kyle for your patience and care of my pups.

Kyle has helped our family with our pit mix, Bruno. Our family never thought we would be able to walk our Bruno but after only one day of training, Bruno came back as an entire different dog. He is even able to walk off leash and has a great recall. We are truly amazed at how well our dog is behaved now. Kyle is also very kind and answers any questions that might arise.

Amazing and life changing–we have learned so much about our dog and enjoy her even more! We know we can keep her safe and well trained around others. Thank you!

Lilli still believes SMS training is using technology to the fullest and keeping dogs safe by being able to communicate to them off leash. Love your training and have using it for 10+ years. If you are considering ecollar training, definitely get the facts and train with the pros who use it properly and love dogs. Sit Means Sit all the way!

Thanks to Sit Means Sit, my German Shepherd is a completely different girl. No longer anxious and aggressive, she’s happy and motivated and is loving life!

This training has made a solid citizen out of our 2-1/2 yo rescue golden retriever. He had been given up for adoption twice before we got him. The instructors were eminently patient and helpful for every issue we presented. We are so grateful for this awesome training.

We adopted a puppy who was 4 months old and he was impossible for us to train and behave: He jumped up on people, barked constantly, he was very destructive (if it fell on the floor it was his) he hated to be left alone, he pulled on his leash, he chewed on wood and went to the bathroom in the house! We called Sit Means Sit and he was picked up on Friday afternoon after 3:00pm. On the following Friday he was at the Home and Garden show with a sign: “My name is Mickey! Please pet me!” We could not believe what had been accomplished in such short time!
