Dog Training in Mallory, NY

While living in Denver, Dave rescued his chocolate lab Maddi. After obtaining mediocre results with other obedience training systems and frustrated that Maddi could not be trusted off leash or around other dogs, he knew there must be an answer to his “problems.” Although Maddi had been labeled by other dog trainers as “unsociable” and was told she should be kept away from other dogs, Dave’s answer came with a FREE demonstration with Anthony and the Sit Means Sit system.

Within minutes, Maddi was off leash and under control around multiple dogs and other distractions. Not only was Maddi under control around severe distractions, but her confidence went through the roof. Maddi went from a timid, and at times, fear aggressive dog, to a happy, confident, and trustworthy dog. “After training with Sit Means Sit, I was able to realize Maddi’s as well as my full potential. She was able to go hiking, snowshoeing, boating, and much more with me! The only frustration I have with the Sit Means Sit system is that I didn’t start earlier.”

Since the demo in 2009, Dave and Maddi haven’t looked back.

Quickly falling in love with the Sit Means Sit training process and the fast results Justin didn’t think twice when the opportunity arose to become a part of our family.

Jordan joined our team because she wants dogs to have the best possible quality of life and enjoys giving the owners knowledge to help the challenging dogs that most people wouldn’t give the chance.

She went on to work with her family and breeders in PA and OH, helping with the breeding and whelping process of two litters. Sadly, Rebecca doesn’t have a puppy companion at this time, but she is a cat mom. And yes, her cat, Shiva, does know how to sit. Growing up, she always had a passion and love for animals, getting the chance to raise ferrets, rabbits, ducks, pheasants, and, of course, dogs. 

After moving away and working as a full-time nanny in CT, she came back to her roots. Sit Means Sit has given her the opportunity to return to her love for dogs through training. She believes there are no bad dogs, just dogs that haven’t been taught yet! And she’s more than happy to teach. Her past as a Teaching Assistant her last two years of high-school in Studio Art helped lay a solid foundation to help not only the dogs but their owners as well. Nothing feels better than peace of mind, and a happy, well-behaved dog brings an owner just that. 

With experience ranging from basic obedience to public access work, she’s all about creating confident, well-mannered dogs and building strong relationships between dogs and their people. She believes training should be clear, fun, and tailored to fit your dog’s unique personality.

Whether you’re looking to improve behavior at home, prepare for therapy work, or just strengthen the bond with your dog—she’s here to help you and your pup succeed, one sit at a time!

He would always watch dog training shows on tv and would try to train his family dog Rudie; So when he saw an opportunity to join Sit Means Sit, he didn’t look back! He quickly saw how fast and reliable the training system worked, and applied it to training Rudie. Now Cam and Rudie go on off leash hikes all over New York State!

As a trainer, Cameron enjoys being able to educate families on how to work with their dog. He loves being able to give every client fast and reliable results!

Along with her affinity for animals, she has always loved helping people and putting a smile on their face. Sit Means Sit provided Elly with the opportunity to combine her passions through helping people build stronger relationships with their dogs. She currently owns a 5 year old German Shepherd/Husky mix named Odin, which through ongoing dog and human reactivity, training is progressing wonderfully and is gradually becoming a more social and confident dog. Her personal experience with Odin has inspired a passion for helping others with the same challenges at Sit Means Sit. 

After spending time at various positions in the horse industry, she decided it was time for a change and discovered Sit Means Sit. After joining the team, she quickly saw how effective the system was and how positive and upbeat the environment was kept by the team. Becoming a trainer with Sit Means Sit, fulfilled a life long passion and dream to work with dogs and another way to help fellow pet  lovers reach their goals.
