We started training our puppy with Sit Means Sit. 2 weeks into it she is doing so much better already. Melissa and Brittany are very knowledgeable and professional. Melissa makes the training fun for the dog and me as well. Our dog is hopefully on her way to becoming a therapy dog. The facility is clean and so is their outside area. We highly recommend them.

My family and dogs highly recommend SMS in Sierra Vista. We adopted a one and two year old Pitbull in June 2022. Six months of trying different trainers and having hard conversations about feeling like we were in over our heads. SMS saved us from returning one of them back to the rescue. The dogs learned almost as much as we did. We know how to look for triggers and how to work through many different situations. They can play together now and not have issues, usually, lol. Pack walks happen every day. We still go to group classes on Saturdays and we remain a work in progress. Our family's life has improved so much after the training and the work we continue to do with the dogs. So worth the money and the time.Thank you Paige, Britney, and Melissa, you have helped us more then we thought was possible.

I cannot recommend Sit Means Sit enough. I got my dog Nala from the shelter where she was much more clam than when I got her home. When we got home, she had many behavioral problems and didn't get along with my cat. I was going to be moving in 3 months and was nervous that I was going to have to take her back to the shelter. After debating about spending the money to take her to Sit Means Sit, I decided to try it out. After the first day I saw a drastic change in her behavior. She's an amazing listener and now gets a long with my cat. I've even had multiple people comment on how well trained she is!

My dogs were fighting every chance they got. We’re making such progress; we slept together last night with no muzzles and no fighting. Worth the cost, and I’m excited to see what growth they gain from group!

Sit Means Sit was great. We were nervous about introducing a new little Chihuahua to our two big dogs. Our unease might have jeopardized the meeting, but Melissa was there and portrayed knowledge and confidence. All went well. We are very grateful.

Lousy training and I would not recommend. If you don't shock the heck out of your dog they do not know how ro respond after this type of training. Please do not waste your money on this facility. I saved money for a vacation and used it for this training, what a waste and totally ruined my puppy.

We were able to see a huge difference in our dog after the 1st lesson! He's 2-4years old and we rescued him from the pound so I wasn't sure how much he'd be able to learn because he spent so much time in the streets learning some pretty bad habits. Even our friends and neighbors cant believe the change in him. Now we can really ENJOY our dog. I am a stickler for service and product and I would certainly recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone.

I met sit means sit before I got my German Shepard. I knew at that time I would use them for training when I got my dog we started training at 4 months. She is now 5 years and I take her everywhere not only a guard dog but now a certified service dog. Everyone is amazed how well she behaves. She is very social with everyone until I tell not to be. Best money I have ever spent. We now have a Gordon setter and he is in training. 2 out of two. Trainers are exceptional and the people in the classes are friendly. Thank you so much sit means sit

From hopeless to empowered! Our 18month old, foster fail, trustless Boxer, Tyson was transformed... but bigger than him, WE WERE TRANSFORMED!!! We had no idea how a snuggly ball of already house broken love was so unpredictable and reactive. In just three short sessions, we realized he had zero trust and was in dramatic need of structure beyond anything we knew how to do. And it didn’t stop there... group classes for life. We are not routine enough to make them as often as we prefer and I would say that is a big fail of us, but just like we have to reset with him sometimes, we reset ourselves when we can and absolutely when we need to. Their follow up and follow through is bar none and their compassion for dogs and their owners is beyond that! We will engage and enroll all of our dogs in their training going forward even though the tools they gave us and the knowledge would feel enough to handle even the toughest, most stubborn, most challenging of pups! Recommend 10/10!! ??

We joined a walk thru Old Bisbee with 10 or so other dogs and our dog Karma. We so enjoyed it and our Karma did so very well. Our girl is awesome.

I’d be hesitant to let them transport my dog, I pulled up to a gas station today, the vehicle was parked right in the sun, I could hear dogs whining and whimpering inside, it was already hot out. I walked in, the man in the SMS uniform was in a spot where he was unable to see the unattended vehicle (plus the doors are wrapped so you can’t see out or in) and he was holding snacks while chatting it up with another guy, as though he’d been there for a while without a care. I checked out and timed it, because I was about to do something. From the moment I pulled up (no idea how long he was there before hand because the van had been parked since I got there) until I watched him wobble back to the van, it was almost 20 minutes. He also didn’t attempt to check on the well being of the dogs once he got in either. Even if he wants to claim the vehicle was running, leaving a vehicle unattended and running for over 5 minutes is against the law in AZ. Not to mention the fact no windows were down and he didn’t even attempt to periodically check on their well being or see if the vehicle was still out there. Someone who is more concerned with snacks, gossip and how close they park (I guess who cares if they are right in the sun, so long as it’s a shorter walk for him, right?) as opposed to the well being of the animals entrusted to them as well as AZ state laws surrounding unattended vehicles and pets being left in a vehicle, probably shouldn’t be working with and or transporting them. Just my two cents. I’d just make sure to do my research and ask about what safety measures or rules they have if any they have regarding transportation of animals.

The staff at Sit Means Sit are outstanding professionals. They are always available to take a call or text to help through a rough spot in the training or to offer advice. It is obvious to me that they care as much about my dog as I do, and that's a lot. I recommend them highly.
