When I rescued my dog Patches. Who is a pit bull. Patches was abandoned in a Bronx apt. He had problems of jumping on people, he would bark, and he was very hyper. So when I hired Neil at Sit Means Sit. He came over my house and explained his way of training. He was very impressive.and professional. So after taking patches for 3 Monday’s for 8 hrs, I was amazed the difference in his behavior. He was like a different dog. He didn’t jump or bark . And he was excellent at obeying commands. I would highly recommend Neil to train anybody’s dog. I’m so happy with the new behavior of patches. He’s like a complete different dog thanks to Neil. And of course I have to take some credit bc I listened to Neil. And did reps every day.

I cannot overly state how much Neil from SitMeansSit helped me. I adopted a pitbull on death row, was told she was fine with other animals, and maybe she was in the shelter, but definitely not once at home. She attempted to maul my female pitbull, and I was helpless to change this behavior, and looked to return her, which would have meant certain death for her. I was at the end of my rope, and so was she, but I contacted Neil as a last ditched effort. Neil immediately started working with her, and a dog of his own, much to my shock, since I was so afraid. He also taught me how to work with them both, eventually reintroducing them, using the Sit Means Sit techniques Neil explained to me. My family, and my pack are beyond grateful, I would have had to given this dog back otherwise, which again, would have meant certain death. He helped me save her life, and Petunia (the attacker), and Sugar (the attackee) are best of friends now.

Neil has been incredible! He is extremely patient and our dog loves to go to training! We can now have an enjoyable walk with our dog with no pulling or jumping. He also makes himself
available for any questions or concerns outside of scheduled sessions. Highly recommend!

Bailey, my 11 month old cockapoo is adorable but naughty. Hiding under the bed when I want to take him out and running across the street when I accidentally let go of the leach are a few of the things that prompted me to contact Neil. After working with Neil, Bailey sits on command even if there are squirrels running up the trees and comes when called. Neil did an amazing job with Bailey and I highly recommend him if you want a well behaved and obedient dog.

Neil is seriously THE BEST!!!! My dog had quite a few issues and as a new dog owner I had ZERO confidence or knowledge in handling him. I can not thank Neil and his staff enough for the help and guidance I received. I feel a thousand times more confident and know that if any issues arises I can text Neil and get help Asap. The most important thing is my dog instantly bonded with Neil and I know hiring him was the best thing we did as a family. He still goes crazy when he sees him and showers him in kisses. Thanks Neil and staff!!!

I came to Neil in June 2015 feeling helpless. At around 10 months of age, my border collie mix, Sarge, began displaying some fear-based leash aggression toward both strangers and other dogs. Other trainers had suggested clicker training, spraying him with a water bottle, one even had me “bark” at him. Sarge couldn’t have cared less about these methods. Sarge went everywhere with me – to the farmers market, Home Depot, Oktoberfest, and virtually anywhere that allowed dogs. His reactivity when on leash became so embarrassing and unbearable that I had to stop taking him out into public. I was devastated by this, but also fearful that Sarge, now over a year old, may escalate to biting someone out of fear one
day. I came across Sit Means Sit while Googling how to help my dog with leash reactivity, and I am so thankful I jumped on board with the Sit Means Sit family. After only a couple of days working with Neil, both Sarge and I had this confidence we never had before. And after only a week of working with Neil and Sit Means Sit, not one, but numerous people told me what a good dog Sarge is. I honestly thought I would never hear those words again.

If you’re looking for someone to help you train the perfect, most well behaved dog, look no further.

I searched far and wide for the perfect trainer for me and My service animal Charm. I could not of been luckier to have found Neil at sit means sit. He truly understands dogs and the way they learn and how to make them succeed. I could not be happier with the progress help and true camaraderie that Sit Means Sit offers. Thank you for helping me and charm become the best team ever. Highly recommend to anyone who loves there dog and wants a trainer who will love them too.
