We love customers and their dogs. They love us.

Danielle S.

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!

D. Miller

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.

E. Schach

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!

B. Chan

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…
