Reactive

A reactive dog overreacts to normal situations that other dogs would take in stride. They become overstimulated easily and may bark, lunge, and growl at something as simple as another dog or person walking on the other side of the street. Attention to training is extremely important, as reactivity can turn into aggression. The cause… Read More

Socialization with dogs, humans, and other animals is a great way to ensure a well-mannered and confident dog.

Sit Means Sit is absolutely the best dog training company there is. Other dog training methods don’t even come close. I know I’ve tried them all.

I trained my super high energy American Pit Bull Terrier with the Sit Means Sit system and I don’t even need a leash any more. I get compliments daily on how awesome and incredibly well behaved my dog is. Now I can take my dog with me almost everywhere I go. I know I couldn’t have done it without Sit Means Sit!

- Gary P

Sit Means sit helped Suki go from being a good dog to a GREAT dog! We used to have issues with keeping her attention while outside, but now she’s a off-leash girl. The weekly group classes and pack walks are very helpful for continuing her training around dogs who are at different stages in their training.
