I have been a client of SMS for over a decade! I started with SMS over 10 years ago with my two rescue dogs that I adopted. One was a puppy, the other was about a year old. I had a great experience in puppy class with my boy, so I signed my girl up for classes too. Both dogs went through private lessons and then group classes.

The group classes are awesome! It was incredibly beneficial to work with my dogs on their commands in an environment with other dogs\owners doing the same. It provided a safe space with healthy distractions. I recently brought a new puppy into my home, and couldn’t wait to start her with SMS. She finished her puppy classes with Amy and Monica.

The puppy classes were great for socialization. Freddy was able to meet new puppy friends, get familiar being handled by other people, exposed to new surfaces\sounds\items to help feed curiosity and create resilience, and so much more. You can really tell they care about creating a well rounded dog.

This week is another big week for us. Freddy starts her Day Training! I love the structure of this program. Freddy will work with the trainers a couple days a week at the facility, and then I get to work with her on the things she’s learned in-between those lessons. I signed her up for Body Mind Dog’s ‘Fit Dog’ classes with Amy as well. Spend a few minutes listening to Amy and you will see the passion and extensive knowledge she has regarding the health and wellness of dogs.

I know it’s not always easy to know who to trust with your dogs which is why I felt compelled to write this review. I have met so many of the trainers up there and have had great experiences! Check them out! I’ve included pics of my Triton and Abby “Placing” all over, and a pic of my Winifred when she graduated puppy class!

I can’t say enough great things about Sit Means Sit! I first enrolled my lab/pit mix in their puppy program and then a few months later he stayed with them for their 2-week board and train immersion program. His training is ongoing, but the results have already been incredible. He’s super energetic, easily distracted, and a total goofball—but thanks to Megan’s expert training, he’s made huge progress in just a short time.

What’s even better is that the training didn’t stop after the two weeks. We’ve been continuing the work at home, and with their trainers ongoing guidance and follow-up support, he is really doing well.

The whole staff has been fantastic throughout the process—knowledgeable, supportive, and clearly passionate about what they do. My pup is still the hilarious, playful dog we love, but with their help, he’s building a solid foundation of obedience and self-control. I’m so grateful for everything Sit Means Sit and Meghan have done for us and our pup—highly recommend.
