Aggressive
An aggressive dog can cause difficulties when trying to incorporate them into your daily life, and can create stress and strain for everyone in your household.

See More ReviewsWe were referred to Sit Means Sit after adopting our Belgian Malinois, Gretta, from a shelter. She was very fearful and reactive—growling, snapping in public, and aggressive toward people entering our home.
About 10 months into their year-long program, the transformation has been incredible. They didn’t just train our dog—they gave us the tools and confidence to help her become calm, balanced, and well-adjusted.
Because of this, we’re able to truly enjoy life with her. We’ve taken a 10-day RV road trip, gone hiking in Utah, visited dog beaches, and even taken her out to restaurants. She’s become an amazing companion we can bring almost everywhere.
We’re so grateful—this wouldn’t have been possible without Sit Means Sit.
Sit Means Sit is amazing!
The trainers really take the time to get to know you and your dog and personalize a training program that works for both of you.
I am so glad I found this place and got our dog trained here!
They continue to offer great training and are always available for assistance when you need it.
I highly recommend this place and look forward to continuing with group training in the future.
