Comment: We are extremely happy with our decision to put our 7 year old schnauzer into the 10-day boot camp. We were never able to take our dog around other dogs but after the boot camp we have a whole new dog! I was really nervous for the boarding camp but the staff is so incredibly kind and helpful. It helps so much to be dealing with really nice people.

Comment: We are so very pleased with the results from Pongo training with Sit Means Sit. Andy trained Pongo while we were away on vacation. We came back to a very well behaved little boy. Pongo had taken a liking and formed a bond with Andy and vice-versa. It is obvious that Andy, as well as everyone at SMS, LOVE their job. Definitely recommend - based on results!

Comment: We couldn’t say better things about SMS. Andy taught our 9 month old German Shepard mix, Lily, in 12 days more than she learned in 18-weeks of training at PetSmart. I couldn’t recommend SMS and the San Juan team more. So grateful that she has this foundation to carry her through life. Thank you!

Comment: I can not tell you how happy we are with Sit Means Sit! Our little Murphy was so protective and territorial we were afraid to walk him. That started the catch 22 cycle. Now we can walk in a relaxed state and even better, he walks in a relaxed state.Murphy did the 10 day stint because he recently began nipping. I was afraid hed come to back a different dog... He did, but in all the right ways. Hes the same lovingly playful boy, but now has better manners. They updated us regularly and sent pics and videos of the actual training out in the real world.We are still working on the doorbell trigger, but these folks are just a text away whenever we need help. They stick with the you as long as you stick with them!We thank you, and Murphy thanks you!

Comment: We were referred to Sit Means Sit by a friend after I had a confirmed torn rotator cuff from repeated yanking on walks with Barkley. Getting him on leash and walking him was miserable and we were frustrated. We knew he was trainable but he always chose being naughty.While getting his updates during his 20 day stay, we saw immediately he was doing so well and saw what he was capable of! It was truly night and day.Instead of being frustrated and yelling at him, we now play games with him in his continued training and spend more time loving on him and less time being frustrated.Hands down Sit Means Sit gave us confidence and got Barkley on loose leash walks without a pronged collar. The continued relationship and check-ins have helps us trouble shoot as needed and Andy is truly Barkley’s buddy. Their bond is so strong and Barkley LOVES to see Andy.

Comment: We have so much gratitude for our trainer Joel and the entire team at sit means sit. Our dogs are so proud of themselves and have learned so much in such a short time. No more barking uncontrollably, jumping up on people, and walks are now peaceful and fun. Thank you! Well worth the investment.

Comment: We couldn’t be happier with Woody’s progress in the four weeks we’ve been working with Sit Means Sit.Woody has been anxious and skittish around strangers and other pups since we “rescued” him at about 10 weeks old. He’s almost five now and just thought it was time to help him “figure it out.”We did the 10 day boarding training and have had him home for two weeks and his confidence and focus has improved immensely already.The entire staff have been awesome to work with and are there with all the help we need.A definite 10 for customer service and results.Thanks Sit Means Sit Team!

Comment: I was recently referred to Sit Means Sit dog training by a family member for our 1 year old Frenchie and I can’t say enough good things about them. We decided to do the day train and it was the best move for our girl we are so happy and stoked on the transition we have seen for our girl. All of the trainers are amazing and would highly recommend them to anyone who owns a dog they are thee best! Thank you Andy and Megan for all your hard work we are so stoked on the results!!

Comment: We were referred to Sit Means Sit by a family member and were so glad we brought our puppy River to them. We sent him away with Andy for 10 days to learn all the basic foundations that a dog should know. He did so well and we’re very appreciative to Andy for the consistency and love he gave River. We also love that it’s not just the 10 days they work with him. We had follow up training after and now we’re joining the group training to make sure he has all his commands down. It’s better to put in the time and money now so that they’re well behaved.

Comment: I am at a loss for words! We recently got a golden retriever puppy and knew we needed training before he got big. Once we signed up, we immediately started the puppy preschool, which set the foundation for us which made his actual training much easier. The entire crew at Sit means sit is on the same page so no matter who you are working with you won’t get mixed signals. Ralphie is now 5 1/2 months old and is better trained than 90% of the dogs I see when I’m out walking him in our neighborhood. Having a big dog and a young child we knew that training was not an option, but a necessity. For the rest of my life and future dogs we get will be trained at Sit Means Sit.

Comment: The coaches at sit means sit are amazing!! Our puppy is doing better than ever now thanks to their training. I tried to train our puppy myself at home with a in-home program I purchased online, but I just got so burned out — I really wasn’t making much progress on my own. Save yourself the trouble and frustration of trying to “go it alone,” and just bring in the pros from the get-go. Highly recommend and worth every penny! Ask for coach Andy!! 🤓

Comment: We did the 10 day board and train with sit means sit with our 4 month old Bernedoodle, Archie. We got consistent updates and he came back so obedient and well trained but still had his fun loving personality. Then we did our two sessions after the 10 day course with Tristan. He was so helpful at giving advice on things we needed help with Archie and now at almost 5 months Archie is praised everywhere we go. He heels with me on walks and doesn’t tug the leash anymore. He comes when I ask him with no hesitation even with distractions of other dogs or people. He can sit in any location I identify as place and stay there until I release him. I highly recommend working with the team at sit means sit and especially Tristan. Their training really does work.

Comment: Where do I start?! We did the 5 day one hour a day training + 2 follow ups. Honestly I didn’t think that would be enough to help my very strong-willed, anxious dog Leo. His main issues were not listening and specifically, obsessing over balls & my daughter’s toys to the point that we could not get him to drop whatever was in his mouth… sooo frustrating!! We were desperate when we called Sit Means Sit.Kevin and Andy were amazing and my husband and I were shocked at the improvements he made in such a short time!! My daughter can play with her small toys near our dog without him stealing it… it’s a miracle!! Thank you SMS team!!!

Comment: Our dog’s listening has improved so much since we started his training with Sit Means Sit. We did the 10-day board and train, which obviously was so helpful for him, but the best part is the training sessions that we get to do after. The transfer of leadership training, the training at our house, and the group lessons are helping him improve more and more each time (and helping us improve as his trainers)!

Comment: We just picked up our two rescue dogs from a ten day boot camp. We really like the staff and our dogs seem to like them too. The facility is clean, and staff professional and knowledgeable. Staff explained well how to move forward with training at home and encouraged us to call with any questions or concerns. Our dogs learned a lot and now we have some tools to reinforce what they learned.Follow up three months later:First of all, the week after the Boot Camp, we saw an amazing change in our dogs attentiveness to commands. We were able to walk with them on a leash, and recall them - where before their obedience had been random and chaotic. (They had over a year of bad habits to overcome.) We have been attending the midweek and Saturday morning classes with Sit Means Sit. About 30 dogs and owners show up. This is a great time to test out how well our dogs are doing amidst distractions. We love these training sessions and the counseling and instruction we get from the sit means sit instructors who run them. Our dogs are doing great! They are still improving week by week and can handle off-leash commands most of the time. We can trust the dogs to recall to us, and we can see the dogs trusting us more and more.

Comment: I would recommend this training. We got a Lab puppy and decided quickly that she needed training. In looking at different trainers, Sit Means Sit had great reviews. We picked the 5 days training and it was a game changer. Boo went from jumping and nibbling and running the house to obeying our commands. She picked it up fast and we are about 3 weeks past the training and the support and continued training is top notch. Boo is 7 months old and we look forward to having fun with her and learning more as time goes! The staff has been great, and our trainer, Kevin is amazing too!!

Comment: We had a great experience with the initial in-house training. Each trainer was extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. They were readily available to answer any questions or problem solve any issues that came up throughout the training process. They were also great about including the whole family in the process of training.

Comment: I wont bury the lead. Sit Means Sit Training Really Works! Kevin (the trainer) definitely delivered on the promise that IF, my wife and I follow their program and are consistent that they guarantee results. Kevin and Megan came to our house and I thought the program was expensive and Megans (the managers) guarantee claims were a exaggerated and that this was going to be a waste of money, so I bit the bullet and paid the 50% deposit on the spot. Fast Forward, we have been working the program diligently for the past month and OK, I admit it, I WAS WRONG! It was the best INVESTMENT I could have made for our fur baby, EMMA and ourselves and I suggest that if you, change your mindset, like i did and and look at it as a long term investment (ROI over 10 years), then you will definitely sign up. The reviews here are real and not made up, but I will say, it is not a one and done, if you are not willing to invest time to train your dog, then you are throwing yor money away.p.s Make sure to request Kevin and you get to meet his boy Onyx.(beautiful shepard/husky mix)

Comment: We have two dogs a 4year old rescue mix and a 4 month old shepherd mix puppy. We sent the puppy for a board and train and the older dog did day camp with Sit Means Sit and in just a few weeks both dogs are excelling in their obedience training. We are extremely happy with the results so far and are excited continue to work with both dogs. The puppy still has a long way to go but he is doing amazing! All of the trainers are amazing to work with. Tristan, Kevin, and Andy are rockstars with our dogs and we appreciate everything they have done for us!

Comment: We have two dogs - 1 is 4 years old and 5 months old. When we brought our puppy home we looked into training options and came across Sit Means Sit and cannot recommend them and all of their trainers enough. We decided on a 12 day board and train for the puppy and a 5 day train for our 4 year old. The trainers were so professional, helpful, and genuinely care for our dogs and for us. We loved how they always followed up via text the day after a training session and offered extra personalized tips. We are so excited to take our dogs to group classes and continue to watch them learn - they are so well behaved and love to practice commands. We absolutely loved every trainer - Tristan, Kevin and Andy and highly recommend to everyone!

Comment: After struggling with behavioral challenges like leash pulling, reactivity, obedience, etc we chose Sit Means Sit for a 2 week board and train while we left for vacation. Andy and the team did a fantastic job working to correct these issues, and lay a strong foundation for us to continue working with our dog. We have seen a tremendous improvement in our dogs behavior so far, and are looking forward to group classes to continue building on what we’ve learned. It was nerve-racking leaving our dog for 2 weeks, however after seeing progress our dog has made and how excited she gets when she sees her trainer Andy, I can confidently say we made the right choice!

They expertly taught my dog to walk on the leash with ease, hold their place in the house, ignore distractions, and greet guests at the door politely. Additionally, they provided invaluable guidance in preparing our pup for the arrival of our baby, instilling confidence in handling these transitions seamlessly. Their dedication, expertise, and thorough approach truly transformed our dogs behavior for the better. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comprehensive dog training!

Comment: I am so happy with the results of Sit Means Sit’s training program for my Golden Retriever, Goose! He was a young and energetic puppy when we enrolled him in the puppy socialization and the 21-day boarding program. After completing the program, he has become a well-behaved and obedient dog. One of the best things about Sit Means Sit is that they teach your dog to be reliable off-leash. Goose can now walk, run, and play without a leash, and he always comes when I call him. He is very social and friendly with other dogs and people, and I have no worries about taking him out in public.I love that Sit Means Sit offers weekly training sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They are a great way to reinforce what Goose learned in the boarding program, and to learn new skills and tricks. The trainers are very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful1. They always answer my questions and give me feedback on how to improve.Goose is a joy to have around. He is well-behaved, attentive, and eager to please. He enjoys his training time and gets lots of praise and treats. He also gets to have fun and exercise with other dogs. People often comment on how well-trained he is, and I always recommend Sit Means Sit to them. Thank you Sit Means Sit for making Goose the best dog ever!

Comment: We had a great experience with this facility! This is the second dog we’ve brought to them and they’ve done wonderfully. We were struggling with some basic obedience and reactivity with our Belgian malinois.There’s a misconception that once you send your dog to training, then they are “fixed” and that’s it. But dogs need consistency. I love that they have group classes which is exactly the kind of exposure and environment my puppy needs to thrive. We try to take her to every group class offered. Our Mals behavior has improved significantly since we first started with Sit Means Sit! Dogs need time and effort, and if you’re able to give that, then they could do so much!

We couldnt thank them enough my dog and I have never been happier. Thank you, Kevin and Andy who closely worked with us.

They are an excellent crew of kind, professional, helpful, and mindful trainers and caretakers for your dog(s)!Their facilities are very clean, new, and well maintained. Honestly a fantastic place to invest in a great life for you and your beloved furry friend!That is the short and sweet of my review, but if you’d like some specific detail as to why I love this business, read on…I have two labs, black and white, both energetic “toddlers” 2 and 1.5 years as I write this. Great girls in need of direction as they tend to compete with one another in public for title of “Who is Crazier?” They split direction as they walk/run, they have different priorities, and I am only one person!In April of 2023 my beau and I moved to San Clemente all the way from Massachusetts. We were ready for a new adventure embarking on a bicoastal life! Three weeks after our move, he passed away suddenly and it changed my life. We still had a business going back in Massachusetts, and I was left in a new home with two loving nutty young dogs in need of guidance and a place to board while I traveled back and forth. It had to be safe, healthy, and a happy environment for my dogs. It was very important for me to find the right trainers to help them listen to me so I can keep them safe, and to help train me to guide our ship! I want the best life for the three of us gals…walks, hiking, travel, etc. all together.I met with the owner, Chris, for a consultation at our apartment and he brought his own dog to show how dedicated he is. I knew what I was looking for as I’ve been to proper training in the past for another dog, and Sit Means Sit definitely has it all! This past summer, I have had the girls in the 20-day board and train (which they allowed me to divide into two parts of 10 days), and I have since had them in a board and refresh for a week! I have also started taking them to group classes which are very helpful in practicing what we have learned!While I have been traveling, I have received lots of pictures and fun YouTube videos of the girls on adventures to various businesses and parks they have gone to practice commands. The trainers work in groups so the dogs are always watched over and given great attention. They go on all kinds of local adventures! It really put me at ease to know the girls were having fun while away at what I refer to as “boarding school”!The girls have come home freshly washed from board and train, which is such a treat for me! The trainers take time to review everything the girls have learned with me. We have had a private session at home to help them apply their skills there too. Part of the package includes group classes for a year which will continue to be SUPER helpful.If you’ve read this whole review, thank you! The staff at Sit Means Sit SJC deserves your time, knowing how valuable they all are and the works they are doing helping provide a safe and happy life for dogs and their owners (us)!Special thanks to Joel, Tristan, Andy, and Kevin and everyone who has shown Briskette & Birdie big love during this very transformative season! We are forever humbly grateful!!! ♥️

Comment: Sit Means Sit is THE BEST!! We have a stubborn corgi that made all his own decisions, our household was chaos and we could barely take him on walks. After the Jump Start sessions he is a well behaved gentleman and we can take him everywhere and we are so happy! He loved the training and he looks forward to going to “ school “ each week for the continued group classes. All the trainers really care and put their hearts into bringing out the best in your dog! Definitely the best training you can do for your dog!

Comment: We love our Hurley, but if you were to tell me he would be walking in a heel behind me near another dog, I would have laughed. Sit Means Sit has dramatically helped us work through so many issues we had (created) with our hyper Aussiedoodle and strengthened our communication in general. I was worried that his fun loving personality would be affected, but quite the opposite. They have taught him manners, and shown us how to communicate correctly and what to do in the situations we have been generally avoiding. Before, I couldn’t even walk him without a harness in fear he would hurt his neck, much less get his attention or stop him from barking at other dogs. I am blown away on how well he is responding to the work and training, and the sky is the limit on what we can and will do together. We will be constantly working but he has already come so far in a short time. Kevin, Andy and Joel have been a blast. They truly show their knowledge, commitment, and care for the wellbeing of the dogs. I highly recommend the SJC location and team!

Comment: We are working with the team at Sit Means Sit for our 120lb GSD mix, Wayne. He has hyper focus issues, is very attached to dad, and was difficult to take on walks. After a board and train and two one on one follow ups with Andy and Lenny, Wayne is becoming a fun dog to take on walks, had drastically improved with most distractions, and now the team is helping us work on getting the focus off dad. We are so happy with the improvements and would strongly recommend for anyone looking to work on some behavioral issues with their pup to come here for help!

Comment: Our family is so grateful to the entire team at Sit Means Sit in SJC. Couldn’t be happier with the 20 day training program. Our pup has been great with commands but, most importantly, she seems to know what is a toy and what is not. No more problems with her jumping all over me, tearing up the furniture, etc. Life is so much less stressful! We have been experiencing so much joy in spending time together.

Comment: I signed up Poppy a few months ago for training. She was only 6 months old when she started with the group in San Juan Capistrano. As hard as it was to say goodbye to her for 10 days I couldn’t be happier with her results. They are so good with dogs there and Poppy loved all of them. A special thanks to Kevin and Triston for helping to train us to work with Poppy! Poppy is a Cavalier King Charles and is on her way to being the most well trained dog! Thank you so much!

Comment: I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Sit Means Sit Orange County. I chose to board my one year old Australian Shepherd for a ten day board-and-train program, after Whitney and Luana gave an awesome demonstration and recommendation. The training had a huge impact on my dog and i am very pleased with the outcome. I am confident that I can keep him safe and happy and listening to my commands at all times. The whole team contributed to my dogs success. Megan and Tristan were so helpful and informative when I picked my dog up for the ‘transfer of leadership.’ Kevin followed up at my home a week later to reinforce the implementation of training. Luana and Maddie made it incredibly fun on the second follow up, where my dog got to show off even more and build on the trainings foundation.Austin and Joel provided updates and visuals along the way to keep my peace of mind. If you’re doubtful, call for a consultation; I believe you’ll be able to make up your mind. 10/10. 5 stars! Would recommend to ALL dog owners.

Comment: Love the results from Sit Means Sit, it was worth every penny and has helped us enjoy our new puppy so much more. He stayed in a board and train and came back a different dog, all in a good way. The trainers were patient with us and clear with expectations while at the same time really bonded with the pup. Walking with the pup, greeting friends who come to the house, hanging out at home have been great and we have the right baseline to keep training him to integrate into our lives and be a great family dog.

Comment: The stellar team at Sit Means Sit in San Juan Capistrano not only met, but exceeded our expectations for the training program we took with our toy poodle puppy from January - March of 2023.While most pet owners tend to sign up for the board-and-train programs, we appreciated the option of the private lesson series that worked better for our schedule.Everyone at the facility made every interaction a pleasant and positive experience. Our expert trainers Lucas, Maddie and John were all so patient, helpful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun!While each trainer shared their own tips, we were especially impressed by overall consistency across the team in applying the training techniques. They were also great at helping troubleshoot any specific issues we were having.The responsiveness of the trainers, follow-up and on-going weekly group sessions provided to reinforce the training, all make the program well worth the cost.Were very satisfied with the results of the training and regularly receive compliments on how well-behaved our pup is. Cannot recommend them enough!

Comment: My dog was a trainee a couple years ago, I returned to sit means sit because my training collar wasn’t working. They have a lifetime warranty. I was expecting to change the collar out, but instead Joel, was able to run some diagnostics and get the collar to work. Such a nice gesture and I’m leaving without having to go through the warranty process. Thank you.

Comment: We are so happy with all the trainers here! We started at sit means sit (south county) when our Rhodesian ridgeback was just a puppy. The puppy classes and the jump start program. It is more of people training haha and the trainers (special shout out to Maddie, John, and Lukas:)) are super knowledgeable and patient with us and all our questions. We have continued to attend the group classes which have been game changing with her socialization and excitement around other dogs.Our pup is definitely well behaved in public and we are confident in her obedience. And she’s only 7 months old! This is worth every penny.

Comment: We had a great experience with Sit Means Sit. We went all in and did the 20 day board & train. Weve seen a big improvement with our dog Einstein. But something important to know, you have got to put in the time as well. They cant do magic (my dog still doesnt bring me my coffee like Id like) but what they can do is lay a solid foundation which you continue to build upon. SMS is perfect for someone who wishes they could train their dog but simply cant (b/c of time or knowledge). When your dog comes back he/she will have a fantastic foundation for you to work with.

Comment: We had a great experience with Sit Means Sit 10 day boarding program. We are very happy with our dogs progress in a short amount of time! Jon has been really great with helping us in our follow up lessons. A lot of the work starts the minute you get home from the program and making sure you stay strict with what the trainers have been teaching. Be prepared to invest time in your pup, it’s all about repetition and consistency.

Comment: Sit Means Sit & especially the trainer Lukas have been such a big help to my husband and I while navigating through puppy training! Our pup is a very stubborn & strong willed little girl and we thought she could never be trained. Over the last couple months of Lukas doing home lessons, her going to board & train, & the group classes; our pup has significantly improved! She listens best to Lukas so we specifically ask for him for all our home lessons. He’s so great with our girl & also a really genuinely kind person. We will continue with group classes & look forward to even more improvement in her behavior. Thanks so much Lukas & everyone at Sit Means Sit!

Comment: We adopted our yellow lab when she was 2. She had never been trained. To walk nicely and pulled so much she was. Difficult to walk. She had other bad habits as well like barking and jumping on visitors. After trying for several months, working with a private trainer, we decided we needed more help. We enrolled her in Sit Means Sit and what a difference. Trainers Austin, Luke and John are great.

Comment: We are blown away by the progress Remi, our miniature Australian Shepard Pomeranian mix, has made. We bought the full package which includes 2 10 day board & trains. Remi completed her first 10 days of boarding in September of 2022 & goes back in December 2022.After her 1st boarding she knows sit, down, come, heal, place & break. She is now 5.5 months and is doing so well that we’re allowed to attend the group classes.Remi LOVES going to training. All of the trainers know her & any of them can step in at any time to work with her without her being confused. This is a testimony to the quality & consistency Sit Mean Sit provides in training their trainers and the dogs.I HIGHLY recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone committed to training their dog. They over deliver in all domains & truly care about the quality of life of you and your pup!

Comment: Yes, it is a lot of money but it is the BEST money Ive ever spent. I have a 10 month old Husky who had given me an elbow injury from pulling. I tried every type of leash including the gentle leader and nothing worked. I love my dog but hated walking her. We did the board and train program. Groovy is now the best trained dog Ive ever had. The important thing to understand with this program and any training for that matter is consistency. I did put the time in once she came home and did everything we were instructed to do. It was just so worth it. I cant say enough about the professionalism of all of the trainers. Anytime I had a question, it was promptly answered. I now look forward to walking my dog. It is the best part of my day. Her ability to heel with me on a trail without being distracted by the little critters in the bushes brings tears to my eyes! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Comment: I want to begin my review with saying how grateful I am to Stephanie, Nick, and the Sit Means Sit team for training my boy - a now 8 month old labradoodle to follow commands in the home and out in the community. At about three months old, he was disobedient, stubborn, and learned to bite as a way to escape/avoid my commands. His temperament was far from what labradoodles are described as. I made excuses for a while due to him teething and being a puppy! I was told these behaviors would pass with time. Meanwhile, his behavior just escalated - he even drew blood from my hands and arms several times which brought many tears and frustration. Prior to SMS, I had two separate and negative experiences with a private trainer and a popular training facility in South OC.I want to both COMMEND AND THANK specifically Stephanie and Nick for all of their communication, dedication, and hard work during my dogs training. I have witnessed positive outcomes in my pups confidence, compliance, and socialization. The previous experiences made it beyond difficult to trust anyone with my dog, but Stephanie made it easy. She was beyond patient, empathetic, and kind. Without any hesitation or annoyance, she would answer my text messages and phone calls! Overprotective first-time dog momma, for sure! LOL. We began Jumpstart and I was assigned Nick as our trainer with few others in between to help my pup generalize the skills he was learning across different people and settings. Although the cost of training may be a little expensive, you get what you pay for. It eased my mind to know that it also comes with a lifetime warranty!Nick is knowledgeable and helped our pup acquire a great new skill set! He was thorough in his explanations of the process and the tools used to help train our dog. I was a little skeptical on if the e-collar will be used as a form of punishment or if it will hurt him. He went above and beyond to allow us to feel the e-collar in different settings and educate us in the manner it will be used which is to gain the dogs attention, especially my pup who is highly distracted and self-directed. This was reassuring! At every session - which was typically outside our home, in our community, or on a field-trip, Nick would begin with the goals he would be targeting for the session and at drop off provide us with a very brief description on how our dog did. Nick is professional and personable. He worked really hard with our pup and showed us how to continue working with our pup to ensure that he maintains his skills. At our last check in, our pup was able to be off leash in a highly distractible area and heel for a few minutes. He is able to comply with all basic commands with minimal prompting/use of e-collar. One of the biggest accomplishments is that my pup is able to be pet by children without jumping on them. He will comply with sit or down and waits to be pet. At our last session, we allowed a 1 1/2 year old little girl with her mom pet him and he lied down with his belly up for cuddles. Made my heart melt! My pup has been transformed from a little T-Rex to a teddy bear!THANK YOU Nick, Stephanie, and SMS Team for this invaluable experience! Our pup is now able to join group classes. We look forward to this upcoming experience and future opportunities that our pup can continue growing with you. For those that are reading reviews for the purpose of making a decision, look no further! You are in good hands!!!

Comment: The Sit Means Sit professional trainers, with the program they offered us, they enabled us to take our two puppies Luke and Lucy on long walks, to the stores, to In N Out Burger without worrying about them barking or jumping on other people or dogs. It’s wonderful and we can truly say our dream came true. We started a month ago and we still have long way to go, but in a month we saw a huge improvement. They are better listeners, less territorial and better behaved puppies! We now looking forward to attend group training which is so excited. Thank you beautiful souls at Sit Means Sit. We love you.

Comment: In November I rescued my 4 year old German Shepherd, Cash. He knew his commands however did not always listen to me, he pulled on the leash, and reacted to dogs on a leash. We completed the 4 day jump start, and just started group classes. I am so thankful for sit means sit! They taught not only dog to respect me and listen to me but have given me the tools to help him be the best version of himself! A month in and cash can stay in place, heel, stay, lay down, sit and be in a room with over 30 plus dogs and not bat an eye! I recommend sit means sit to anyone who has a dog!

Comment: We just completed the 10 day board and train program for our 4 month old puppy.... I told them when I dropped him off, I wanted him to come back with a levitating halo where his current devil horns resided. And thats exactly what happened. Baxter now properly walks on a leash by my side, sits, stays in place, doesnt bark incessantly or bite. It definitely made him so much easier to have in the house. The Sit Means Sit staff supports you through the whole process with in-home lessons before and after the board and train and we look forward to continuing training with group classes. Curtis, the trainer assigned to our dog, was incredible. He explained things so well, took the time to answer our questions and work with us to ensure we understood everything. It was also apparent he really cared about our pup and enjoyed spending time with him. I would highly recommend their program!!

Comment: Sit Means Sit has been a game changer and a relief for us. If you want a loving, responsive, obedient dog who can become a stress free member of your family, you need Sit means sit. Don’t waste time and money on anything less.When we started the program, our Golden Retriever was 5 months old. She was sweet and wanted to please us, but never knew what we wanted from her.I remember being so stressed when I interacted with her. We wanted Ranger to join us on family adventures, but she was only willing to listen to our commands when she felt like it. Whenever there were other distractions around, she would lose focus entirely. Our training with her was also very treats-driven, and she wasn’t as healthy as she could be.We signed her up for the 20-day program. It was an investment in her future and our future with her as part of our family. Throughout, the staff was very communicative and caring.Ranger came back to us healthy and happy. Within a few days, after we had a chance to practice with her new Sit mean Sit commands and program, we found that we could finally speak the same language with her. We could communicate what we wanted her behaviors to be, and she was happy to listen. Additionally, she listened to us even when other distractions were around.Our first weekend having her back, we were able to enjoy the beach with her and take her to see our nieces and nephews she did great throughout the day and was safe and responsive.I feel so much less stressed now. I’m relieved and I can enjoy my puppy, without worrying that she won’t listen to me. Thank you, Sit means sit, for allowing Ranger to become such a wonderful part of our family!

Comment: Hard to believe it has only been 10 days and our boy is doing amazing so far. He was an aggressive rescue and now he is a real gentleman. Love this company, it’s 3 trainers, it’s system (they mainly train you) and most importantly, their results. Not a cheap date, but well worth it.

Comment: We had a very positive experience with sit means sit. The initial consultation was comprehensive, and all of the trainers were knowledgeable. Of course we have our favorites! Our dog now knows many more commands, and we are able to have her respond to us rather than outside distractions. We are super happy.

Trainer Matt did the follow-up visit today and coached us on how to get even better results! He is so patient and such a great trainer not only with JoJo but with us humans too! I highly recommend SitMeansSit and Matt!

Comment: I can’t believe how well my 7 year old Weimaraner, Roscoe, responded to the classes! He’s a great boy but always pulled hard on walks, is a serial food beggar, and burglar. After a week of training he’s walking beautifully. Matt also showed us how to to stop the begging and how to handle him around food. On the first night I told him to go to his place during dinner time and he actually did it! No begging! They’re all very friendly, helpful, and all have a great love for dogs. I wish we did it sooner!

Comment: What a great program! Willie was a very fearful and nervous dog, especially around other dogs. He has made great leaps in his obedience training, and his ability to be around other dogs. Matt does a great job explaining why the dogs do certain things, and more importantly how the humans effect the ability of the dogs to learn, understand and obey.Again, a great program that I highly recommend!!

Comment: I adopted a 2-3 yr old Chocolate Lab who had been surrendered by her previous owner. When I adopted her she had already been in training for three weeks at Sit Means Sit. I knew from the moment I met Charlie at Sit Means Sit that the training she had already received was going to be priceless! What I didnt expect, more importantly was the training and guidance I would receive as well. The owners and the staff are top notch and I could not be more grateful for their knowledge and helpfulness! I look forward to Charlie and I continuing to gleen from them.

Matt was great and helped us at the end of the 4 day jumpstart training with best practices and tips to help keep Beau on track. Weve had a couple dogs previously, but didnt have them in a formal training like this. Its amazing what a difference the training with Sit Means Sit makes. I highly recommend working with them!

Our pup came back from training so well-behaved. The follow-up programs (in-home check-ins and group classes) are a fantastic way to stay on top of the skills your dog has learned and expand in their obedience training. I highly recommend this company for your pet training needs!

Comment: We came to Sit Means Sit after our rescue dog Phoebe began developing some aggressive behavior. She started jumping the outside fence, growling, was overly territorial about strangers around us and really seemed to dislike other dogs. Since she was a rescue we really didn’t know her history and what we were dealing with. Chris met us and assessed our needs, spending over an hour learning all about our lifestyle, our family and our dogs. We enrolled in the train at home program and had the best trainer, Matt, come to our home. Matt was so calm and confident, Phoebe was hesitant but started learning immediately. Day after day, Phoebe met Matt at the gate with her collar and soon it seemed she was looking forward to it. She then started going to class at their facility and we were shown videos of her next to other dogs with no interest! We graduated to my daughter and I working with our dogs at home and going to weekly classes. Phoebe is a new dog. Our friends are amazed. She barely barks, she comes immediately when called, she listens intently and we don’t worry about her around strangers. Sit Means Sit is amazing. Matt, our trainer is our favorite trainer and has become our friend. Phoebe adores him now. We recommend without hesitation this incredible training program!The Reeves Family

Today was the last day of our 5 Day Jump Start program and Matt and team have helped us tremendously to gain the confidence we needed to keep our puppy going in the right direction. Matt was so attentive and patient to answer all our questions during our transition and really gave us a great foundation to continue to grow in Cora’s training. We can’t wait to start group classes!

Comment: Hi there! I recently signed up for the 10 day jump start program when I rescued a little pomchi from the local shelter. It was the BEST decision! He was a different dog even after the 10 days. Of course it’s a process and we are now going into group classes so I have no doubt he’ll be even better. The trainers and owners (I mostly worked with trainer Matt and owner Whitney) are awesome and very quick to respond with help if something comes up. Also, when I’ve called on them when I didn’t feel confident they’ve been very reassuring which is good for a newbie like me. I would highly recommend them.

Indi was a rescue dog from Saint Thomas and went through 2 category 4 hurricanes and their work with her has made it possible to walk through crowded parks and spaces without aggression. She listens to our commands in a house with 2 other dogs and 3 children.

Comment: Sit Means Sit has changed our familys life. The constant help and support provided by the trainers makes the whole training process so much smoother and easier. My dog used to be uncontrollable, stubborn, and never listened to any commands we gave her. Once we heard about SMS, we were 100% on board. After the 20 day training program, our dog was walking off leash and listened to everything we told her. 10/10 would recommend!!!

We have an extremely energetic, intelligent, and naughty nine month old mini Australian Shepherd and we desperately needed help with some of his destructive behaviors.

Comment: FIVE STARS!!!! SIT MEANS SIT has positively changed our lives and I am grateful for their commitment to dog training. We have an Australian Shepherd puppy that was regarded as well behaved, so sweet and calm... except he drove me INSANE! He was not bad, but he pushed boundaries and was generally looking for attention. I am not genuinely a dog person (the dog is for the family), and all his puppy qualities were not fun for me (while also raising 4 kids). Prior training, mornings were a disaster with a puppy and a toddler running circles and spinning the room up. After Sit Means Sit training, the puppy is calm, relaxed and patiently waits while everyone eats. I NEVER EXPECTED THIS LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT. My expectations were SO LOW because we already had a good dog. Now we have a militantly behaved dog that still has a great friendly personality, without any of the annoying attention seeking behavior. I wish all dogs were in this program. I cannot sing their praises enough!

Comment: I adopted my sweet, old boy from the shelter and, as with most rescues, had zero clue about his history. He is an amazing boy but an escape artist and can be pretty mean around other dogs. I reached out to Sit Means Sit at the recommendation of my neighbors after he bolted through the front door and had a grand old time running a muck in the streets.My roommate decided to join in on the fun with her dog and we chose the 5 day Jumpstart program (both dogs together with two trainers for one hour). Miguel and Ashley were (and continue to be) amazing with both dogs, as well as with us as owners. They explained everything clearly and confidently and helped us through how to work with the dogs and continue their training.We chose Sit Means Sit because of their long standing reputation for good results, but more than that we wanted a network of people. With Sit Means Sit, we not only got our trainers, but we got access to all the trainers, classes, videos, and wealth of knowledge they could offer us.While my boy still has a long way to go, I am extremely pleased with the progress he has made and am excited to help him reach his full potential!

Comment: Reliable. Dedication. Results.I cannot say enough great things about Whitney, Chris and their entire team at Sit Means Sit. Rush is like our 3rd child, so it was important that we felt comfortable with the trainers that work so closely with our newest family member. From day one, we trusted their team and saw results. However, their standard is so much higher than we expected. We have a pretty stubborn pup, and they continued to work him until he not only met but exceeded our expectations. We would recommend this team to anyone even slightly considering the program. You will not be disappointed.

From the start, meeting Whitney, we have been pleased with the entire experience. Whitney took the time to explain everything and answered all our questions. Our trainer, Ashley, has been awesome. She is great with the dogs. This is our families second pair of Labs. We have used other training methods in the past with partial success. This program has been excellent and I would recommend it to anyone.

Comment: So it turns out you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! We have an 11 year old chihuahua Izzie that regrettably, has never had any formal training.We had 2 large dogs when we adopted her (she was 2} and I let her training fall through the cracks. Fast forward to the present and she had begun having various issues that we never realized were related to a lack of training.After talking to Whitney we discovered her screaming when you touched her, constant barking and other issues were because she was insecure.We decided to try Sit Means Sit and Ashley Chris and Miguel worked with her one-on-one for a week. Afterwards I began working with her daily and she goes to group class now. It’s been about a month and she is doing so much better. She is still a work in progress (she’s extremely stubborn!), but she loves to have people pet her now and her barking has gotten much better.Sit Means Sit’s training methods really work and the trainers are all passionate about what they do and love dogs. I highly recommend them and I will use them again in a heartbeat if we ever get another dog!

Comment: I have been a single dog owner for 3 years and have spent many hours training. I adopted another large dog and realized Im over my head. Ashley, Whitney, Chris and Miguel at Sit Means Sit showed me my training method was OK but not correct. The Sit Means Sit staff not only trained my dogs but showed my wife and I how to correctly continue training and improve our dogs behavior giving us the confidence that we are in control of our dogs. The staff at Sit Means Sit are professional and caring. They are always available to answer questions. I feel they are concerned with the best out come for your dog and are committed to achieving that goal. If your dog doesnt listen to you or you have that fear when opening your front door that your dog may run out then Sit Means Sit is your answer.

Comment: I had done a lot of research into the various local dog training services available and decided Sit Means Sit was the best choice for me - I was not disappointed.Thanks to Sit Means Sit, I have complete confidence with the off-leash control of my dog.I can reliably recall her from long distances. I can heel her through a crowd of people and dogs while off leash. I can maintain her attention in busy and distracting environments.This has made both our lives much more enjoyable as I can give her more freedoms while having the peace of mind that I can keep her safe and under control.The at-home private lessons and the ability to attend unlimited group classes during my dog’s lifetime makes the cost of their service a worthwhile investment.I always look forward to the group classes and go as often as I can. They provide a great environment to train around distractions (i.e. other dogs, people, and “scary” objects).I often get approached by dog owners at the park complimenting my dog’s obedience, and I’m always happy to recommend Sit Means Sit to them.Thank you Whitney, Chris, Miguel and Ashley - you guys are doing a great job!

Comment: Miguel came to our home to help train Yoda, a chihuahua mix that was abandoned in a field. We adopted her from Irvine Animal Shelter but she would bark and attack anyone/anything that came near her. Today, Yoda is happy, more friendly and accepting of people around her and no longer tries to attack other animals. We are grateful for all the time/coaching/Sat. workshops that help Yoda live a happy & more structured life. She is forever changed in a positive way due to Sit Means Sit!

Comment: I highly recommend Zach and MacKenzie & the SMS training program. Having much experience with GSD and lab rescues, I thought that I knew enough to help my newest rescue, a 5 m old high-energy pup, overcome leash aggression and anxiety. Boy, was I wrong! After trying so many tactics that I pulled from google searches and each one failing and leaving me with fear that I was doing more harm than good, I decided to hire a professional. I interviewed several trainers, but MacKenzie sold me on her lifetime guarantee. I knew that if she was willing to let me go to unlimited classes, that she believed in her program for every dog! Once in training, I loved that Zach had multiple tactics for correcting a problem. There is no one size fits all policy! Just like my 2 sons learn behaviors with different styles of positive and punitive consequences, so do my dogs! Yes, training is expensive, but worth a lifetime of pleasure with your pet, rather than a load of stress! Now that my girl is pretty solid, I can have so much fun with her! It’s pretty cool to get loads of compliments on her obedience too 😀

Comment: I FINALLY found trainers that know what they are doing!I am in the veterinary industry and you would think this would be an easy task but unfortunately I had to find out the hard way that there are many self proclaimed dog trainers/behaviorists in OC that have done more harm than good.I adopted a very sick Great Dane from the shelter who became severely dog reactive once he healed from his many health issues and grew stronger and harder to handle the more weight he gained. I wasted more money than I care to admit and almost gave up hope on our dog ever living a normal happy dog life! Thanks to Mackenzie and her patience with our big boy, we are now able to enjoy him out in public.

Comment: I found out about this place through a friend of mine who had his 10 year old German shepherd and a few other dogs trained and he swears by this company. I gave them a call and received a free consultation where they come to your house and do a sort of meet and greet with you and your dog. They were very kind and answered all my questions.They have been working with me and my 4 year old German Shepherd and Im seeing changes that I thought I would never see. I am so thankful to Mackenzie and Zack for their patience and hard work with my dog. They really work around your schedule and your needs. They not only teach your dog, but also teach you how to better handle your dog. They even work with my entire family in training my pup, since he is our family dog.They are very family friendly. Even in group classes (which are amazing by the way!). I just started group classes and I met so many kind people and dogs in group classes. I was also able to meet people who have been through the same problems as me and it was really nice to hear their success stories and to know that I was not alone. They are very supportive (especially when my pup has an outburst during class). Its like one big family.I highly recommend this place. A friend of mine once told me, buy cheap, buy twice and that is exactly what happened with me with dog training. Dont waste your money at PetSmart or other so-called dog trainers. If you want it done right, use Sit Means Sit. They are the real deal. They are world championship trainers, they live and breathe dog training, and are amazing at what they do.

Comment: Sit Means Sit has completely transformed our 100lb Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. He went from constantly tugging the leash and had no control over his excitement when walking past other dogs. If we wanted, we could now walk by other dogs with no leash at all and he will stay right by our side. This has made life so much easier for my wife pushing a stroller and managing such a large dog. Having a Ranger around with us in public is now completely stress-free. Thank you Zack and McKenzie from sit means sit!
