Training with Sit Means Sit Madison has been very helpful to us in establishing boundaries for our dog, with the goal of ensuring her safety and ours. In private lessons we focused on training to address our dog getting into the dishwasher and garbage upon opportunity, recall for safety, walking on leash without pulling, listening and attention….and what developed was the relationship with our dog where she began to look to us BEFORE acting, and reduced her natural impulsivity.
In group class, I cannot say enough about the value of the trainers’ ability to understand and work with a diverse variety of dog breeds, personality types, and behaviors. I have witnessed different dogs in class with behaviors ranging from reactive, shy, agitated, withdrawn, vocal, submissive, and/or anxious – that have become more calm, confident, trusting, and happy.
It isn’t magic – it’s good work. Sit Means Sit stands out as a straightforward, consistent, and disciplined training approach that serves to strengthen the bond between people and their dog.
