Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Alden who helped my two dogs become better behaved. They are great dogs, but just too friendly. They would jump on people, they wouldn’t come when called, and they would pull hard on leash walks. I really didn’t think it would be possible to get these dogs trained.
However, Alden was great to work with and was able to help me understand how to properly train them, as well as make it enjoyable. By the end of our time together, I had a solid understanding of how to train them to do just about anything, and they would do all of the things I didn’t think they would ever do. They come when called, they sit, they now are much better on leash and much better behaved. One of my dogs is obsessed with balls and she would rather chase a ball than eat. But Alden eventually had her sitting and I could roll a ball by her and she would just let it roll. That’s the sort of thing I never imagined was possible.
I’m thrilled with how well everything went, and my relationship with my dogs is now stronger because of it. my dogs also have a better life now too because I can let them run free knowing I can get them back when I need to. Sit Means Sit.

I can’t speak highly enough of Alden and the sit means sit method. From our first visit, he was responsive, helpful and took the time to get to know my pup and my goals. I baby my dog (don’t we all?) and knew quickly she was in very capable and compassionate hands. He trained us both well and I was amazed at the speed she made progress.
My occasional problem child is now the envy of the dog park. Most importantly, her life is much richer now that I can trust her recall and let her be free to explore. Couldn’t have done it without your guidance and I’m excited to see how she continues to progress!

I’ve been working with Alden for my sweet pup’s reactivity issues, and he’s worked wonders in such a short time. We weren’t able to go on walks that we might see another dog without a lot of pulling and yelling. Not only can Twiggy walk past stranger dogs on the street now, her general obedience continues to improve more everyday. I can’t recommend him enough, he has totally changed our day to day for the better!

I highly recommend Alden and Tyler. The training has significantly helped boost my confidence as well as my dog’s confidence. Bear was extremely fearful around strangers, especially men. His reactiveness and possessiveness of anything he felt was his (me, the car, the house) was overwhelming. Working with Alden has helped Bear go from freaking out at strangers to appropriately meeting new people and dogs. Bear has much better leash manners and recall. The groups classes are an awesome way to continue training and challenging bear in a safe environment. Alden was always available for questions/support. I am so thankful for everything and excited to see his continued improvement!

Alden and Tyler are some of the friendliest people to work with. Very knowledgeable and patient! My dog Gomez is 8 years old and they are proving you can teach an old dog new tricks. 100% recommend Sit Means Sit!
