We’ve done a lot of training with our big pittie, and Sit Means Sit has been the best overall group we’ve worked with. The system works and it’s amazing to see the bad habits we enabled in our dog melt away with consistent work both at the facility and continuing those lessons at home. The best thing is that the lessons and system is accessible to anyone. Neil and the crew make it easy to continue the work at home and are always there to support with any questions or adjustments we need. Our big guy looks forward to his training at the facility and at home and we can finally travel again knowing our four legged child is safe and happy with his family at his second home. Sit Means Sit has been a game changer for our whole family.We are grateful you’re here to help!

I started Sit Means Sit with Rogue to “polish him up”. It is so much more than that! Rogue is a 5 year old Pit Bull found chained to an abandoned house, starving to death. He has an unknown past, and can be reactive to other dogs.After day one of being with Alexa, Lexi, Chris, Sam and Neil, I knew we were in the right place. They show so much personalized attention not only to all the dogs, but to every single guardian. I know that for myself it has been a very personal, introspective journey with my dog. And everyone at Sit Means Sit has helped me and Rogue get thru every step.I honestly can’t imagine not taking Rogue to “school”. I cannot even mention any of their names without him running to the door, staring at his leash, wanting to get in the car and see his friends.Rogue isn’t perfect yet. But with the help of everyone at Sit Means Sit, I honestly see that he will be. I am forever grateful to them for helping the rest of the world see my amazing dog.

PERFECT !They train you and they train your dog for the best results. My large exciting dog was close looking for a new home, then I found "Sit Means Sit" and now he just passed his Canine Good Citizen test. All the people are kind and helpful. Highly recommend. All the group walks and holiday parties are fun. They are great about keep the dogs under control. Great for the community.

Sunny graduated and I am so pleased with how far he has come in 6 weeks. I am so thankful to have come across Sit Means Sit. Sunny came in very shy and has transformed into a confident and well behaved puppy. The team is professional and extremely kind. Your fur baby is being left in great hands! So excited to continue the group classes indefinitely and keep building on the skills learned in the program.

Somehow I wrote a review and must have erased it so this won’t be as wordy. We were blessed to come across Neil Cohen’s name and Sit Means Sit’s number several years ago after “flunking out” with 2 other . I had multiple physicians tell me to rehome Delilah, our now 3 year old Beagle for fear that she would hurt me- she was called “aggressive” she did bite my partner and myself if she didn’t want to do something and she was horrible walking on leash and I did fall fairly frequently. We had no intentions of rehoming Delilah but we were absolutely desperate by the time we first spoke with Neil.With that first call, was the sense that he could help us, that we could be ok and have a family together. And that’s what has happened. It has truly been a miracle! While she’s not perfect, who is? And she will always be a stubborn willful hound, she is my Emotional Support Dog and my reason to get up in the morning and Delilah is the reason that I continue to walk as well as I do. I was diagnosed with MS just before she came into our lives and I don’t always want to go outside and walk, but if she needs a walk, we walk. So thank you to Delilah! But mostly, thank you to Neil and the SMS Tram for giving us this goofy, loving adorable, sometimes bratty girl who keeps me on my toes and laughing.. I recommend Sit Means Sit to EVERYONE with a dog. You won’t be sorry. They saved our family and have given us such joy and love. A million times over. They are the best!!!

We worked with SMS to curb our adult pup’s leash and food aggression and are forever indebted to the team! Since working with SMS, we’ve done things I never could have dreamed of before - taking her on family vacations, hiking off leash, bringing her to restaurants (outside), and so much more! I could not recommend SMS more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Where to begin? As a first time dog owner with a rambunctious teenaged rescue Doberman Pinscher and having been through 2 trainers I was not able to even walk him with one hand, the pulling was so bad. Griffon would run off in the woods, escape the yard and run across busy roads to go and visit his buddy. Then in come Neil and Sam and long story short: G is now a certified therapy dog - well-behaved, well-trained and well-loved by many. I learned just as much from SMS as G did. We joined a community and I am very grateful and proud of our progress, all thanks to the amazing team at SMS. It was the best investment and I cannot speak highly enough of Neil.

Penny graduated school! ? What an amazing 6 weeks. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire experience from start to finish. It was an expensive investment, but totally worthwhile. The Sit Means Sit trainers are phenomenal. Neil, Sam, Alexa, Lexi, and Chris are so helpful and great to work with! They all truly have a deep love for dogs and are top notch in their field. They are fantastic communicators. The training process is simple enough to follow and practice at home, and the results are outstanding. They make you feel like family. Your dog couldn’t be in better hands. I’ve watched Penny become confident and obedient while remaining sweet, silly, fun-loving, and cuddly. We look forward to continuing training practice during group classes and acquiring new levels of skills and achievements.

"Sit Means Sit offers the most comprehensive one-on-one
training for you and your dog right here in Westchester.
In other words, you no longer need to send them away
for weeks to achieve long last, great results. Our years
of experience with hundreds of dogs, puppies and owners,
taught us that including the owners in every step of the
process results in happy, confident, obedient dogs
and happy, satisfied clients. Rather than catching up
for weeks after your dog was trained, we combine full
day immersive training with personalized private owner
lessons and lifetime group classes….to get the most
out of your dog’s training."

Neil, Sam and the rest of the trainers at Sit means sit are truly amazing. My husband and I, having never had a puppy before, decided we needed help to give our girl the best fundamentals. After a quick talk with the team we signed her up for the Dream Dog program. Imagine my surprise when she responded to "come" and "sit" after her first session. Today, she graduated and is truly a dream dog. I can't say enough positive things, and we will continue to attend group classes as a reminder to us and little Magnolia that life long practice is best. We also love these classes as part of a dog owner community. I really love all the knowledge both Maggie and my husband and I have gotten from these talented trainers.

Once I got Odin my lab. I was looking for a place to train him. I found sit means sit and decided to do puppy class, then we worked tours “good citizen” and now we are currently in the process of making Odin a therapy dog. Neil & Sam are two of the best dog trainers in the game. They have shown me how to correctly take control of any situation to keep Odin and myself safe. Signing up for this program will be the best thing you could do!!!

Had an amazing experience with Neil and Sam they love what they do. They are informative and detailed. The patience and understanding to what you need for your dog, is their top priority let alone the care they give your pet.Best decision we made.
