She has supported us around tools to address his reactivity around other dogs especially on a leash.

She took the time to walk with me and show me strategies which built my confidence tremendously. Highly recommend working with Whitney!!!

During this particular weekend plans changed immediately and I was stuck not knowing where my beautiful German Shepard/Aussie would stay aka KARMA Whitney was so accommodating, even with a days notice, she treats Karma like family and spoils her rotten. Karma has a habit of not eating when away from her family... Yet Whitney had her eating within the hour of being there. Karma stayed a couple days with Whitney. Playing roaming chasing and playong with the cat she made friends withand I would not have it any other way. I 500% recommend her and her business. Thanks Again Love!!

We got photo and text updates. Our pup is under a year old so learning the basics and mastering a few things like his recall and leash walkability was our priority. We were pleasantly surprised with how much moose retained! Antoinette sent moose home to us with a binder, clicker (for positive reinforcement) and a cute paw print painting for Mother's Day. Moose went on hikes, walks and had plenty of socialization time. Our only concern with the program is that he would be bored going back to his normal routine at home! LOL.

I wouldn't be able to handle this bundle of nerves and energy without their guidance and support, and I cannot recommend them enough.

Paco is a 4-year-old Mini Aussie who is loving, playful, and full of energy. For a long time, walks…read moreand outings were difficult because he would become very reactive whenever he saw another dog. Taking him places and enjoying walks together honestly felt impossible. We decided to enroll Paco in Sit Means Sit, and we are beyond grateful we did. Matt has been absolutely amazing with Paco. He is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs he works with. He always took the time to answer my questions and made sure I had the right tools and guidance to continue Paco's training at home between sessions. The transformation has been incredible. Paco now comes when called the first time, sits in place, and best of all, walks calmly right next to me. He no longer pulls, jumps, or walks out of control. I'm finally looking forward to taking walks with him and can't wait to continue seeing his progress every day. Huge shoutout and thank you to Paco's amazing trainer, Matt!

Well we are two weeks in with our doggie being home and having done a week of Board and Train with…read moreBrian. Prior to SMS, we were having issues with confidence and excitement. He was charging people and dogs while walking ONLY with me. And growling at and even attacked one of our cats, who for reference was his best friend for ages. They'd even sleep together and played a lot. I wanted Miles to get to training before we ended up with him biting someone was my greatest fear. So we picked him up on 4/20 in the morning and went over basics with Brian. Miles was EXHAUSTED for the first few days. Obviously from all that physical AND mental work. But he was immediately different. SO chill. Completely relaxed. By Tuesday of last week (just three FULL days after being home, almost 4,) I was already able to walk him and get Heel, Sit, Down and no reaction to people OR dogs passing with just a 1 tap on the remote. We started with a 3 or 4 the first few days.Miles regularly does GREAT with just this level. We went back on Friday, 4/26 for a session to follow up with Brian. We were VERY pleased with Miles progress as was Brian. We worked on the heel to perfect it and also Tie down, the leash stand and reviewed a few questions. Because Miles was doing so well, Brian suggested that maybe he'd do well with agility work. So he set him up a small course, and put him through it. Well Miles did NOT like it. He LOVED it!!! He had SO much fun. And he was doing AMAZING. He caught on SO fast. So fast rbat Brian sent us specs to build the jumps!! We also worked on high object "place." And Brian gave us lots of tips on that. With it only being 9 days since our pickup and 13 days since he started training, I'd say this was 1000% worth this training. We didn't have a BAD dog but a dog that needed some tweaks and some humans that needed help doing it. Now my husband and I look forward to walks and spending time with and taking him places. And Miles therefore gets MORE time with his people. Ellie, our daughter, LOVES doing "place" and commands with him and Jack, our son, is LOVING agility SO much that he and his dad already started building Miles jumps!!! We aren't very far into this but so far 5 HUGE stars. Thank you Brian!!! Also the office staff has been tremendous. They are responsive and kind and great at following up. 9ur entire experience from consultation to two weeks out is excellent!
