Sit Means Sit helps Bubba and Brady fulfill their True Potential!
I first heard about Sit Means Sit reading a story on a website about a year ago. I needed help with Brady and Bubba then, but had decided to try a different training class closer to home. Brady was stressed and very aggressive around the other dogs. Bubba was the MOST disruptive dog in EVERY class to the point I did not even finish what I had paid for. I had seriously given up hope that these 2 little yippy dogs would ever be good boys! I was constantly ‘baby sitting’ them to see what mischief they were getting into and what the next thing Brady would chew up! Then I saw Paul Pollock at a Home and Garden Show. His dogs Simba and Roxie were so beautifully behaved I just thought it was too good to be true that my boys would ever come close to the mannerisms of Paul’s dogs. I signed up anyway and waited for my free in home demonstration. When Erica showed up she witnessed first-hand Bubba’s lack of manners as we were in the driveway when she pulled in. I was so overcome with emotion and frustrated I literally was crying. Erica was sure that Sit Means Sit could help my dogs and especially ME! I initially signed Bubba up for the Jumpstart [Board and Train] program and Brady for the private training. After seeing the 2 videos that I was sent of Bubba’s progress I decided that the Jumpstart was for Brady (and me too!) Shame on me for waiting so long to get my boys into the Sit Means Sit training. I was skeptical of Paul’s and Erica’s claims that they could get these dogs trained, let alone trained in 10 days! I am so happy with my boys and can not say enough how much I appreciate all that Erica and Paul have accomplished in making them happy, trained pets that I can now enjoy. I also appreciated the prompt return of every e-mail and phone call from the trainers and office staff. Some were not even necessary but certainly gave me peace of mind and the assurance that my boys were in a safe, loving environment. I look forward to many years of being friends with the trainers at Sit Means Sit. I can not thank them enough. If there is anyone that wants my feedback Sit Means Sit has my permission to give me as a reference anytime!
