I have two dogs who went through the Sit Means Sit training program together (very stressful but worth every second). We had a whole host of issues that needed to be addressed for each dog. Everything from teaching my older dog (3 years old) to have confidence and work on her anxiety to my younger (11 months old) dog exhibiting some serious recourse guarding behaviors. I have to say initially I was very worried about e collar training because of all the horror stories I’ve heard from friends, family, and other research that I had done but I felt like my life had been ripped away from me and I was not able to give my dogs the support and structure they needed. My initial consult was with Greg who listened and engaged me in some critical conversations about where my dogs were at behavioral wise he helped me put to rest any of my hesitations about training with an e collar and the benefits that come with it. I interviewed several dog training programs and none of them made me feel as secure and confident in their programs as Greg did.
The real stars of the show are Brenna and Josh who were my girls dedicated trainers. Not only did they help give me the tools I needed to better improve my dogs lives but they were able to do so in a way that made it fun for all of us. Brenna and Josh talked through countless issues, concerns, and strategies with me during my three week training sessions. They are truly some of the nicest people I have ever met and even talked me through a few melt downs. I saw a review earlier that stated “the work is far from over” and I couldn’t agree more the first three weeks showed me that not only is there a light at the end of the tunnel but the community that Sit Means Sit has cultivated encourages continues education. The group classes offered at the end of the three week individual training will be a way for my dogs and I to continue to learn and grow together.
If you are looking for a dog training program that is going to make your life, and most importantly, your dogs life better look no further.
And just one more thank you to Brenna and Josh! You two did amazing work and I am so thankful and so are my girls!
