My experience here could not have been better. I did loads of research on trainers prior to making…read moremy decision, as I had specific issues I needed to work on with my dog, Gus. I wanted to be involved in the training along the way because part of my struggle had been establishing dominance/ taking the lead. I wanted to be working on that dynamic from the beginning, not just trying to take over once someone else trained him. Sit Means Sit was the perfect blend of introducing concepts to both me and my dog, setting the foundations with repetition (took some of the legwork off my plate), and then after each session practicing with both me and my dog to assure we were understanding. My at home lesson was invaluable. Talking through our issues in the space where they are occurring was crucial for customized tips. Some concepts are difficult to implement in certain setups, and Lisa was genius at thinking of alternatives. It can also be hard to describe what's going on without seeing it. The at home lesson gave that opportunity and Lisa was able to understand my dog's excitement and not only better explain his actions to me, but also she was able to suggest more creative ways to work with him in our unique space. Before training, Gus was next to impossible to walk. I'd spend 30 minutes standing in one spot waiting for him to calm down and give me attention. He pulled me so hard once going after another dog, he completely took me down. After training we are able to enjoy walks at my pace (not a constant sprint ). That's just one highlight of the improvement Sit Means Sit accomplished with my big ball of pure energy. I had such a wonderful experience with all the trainers I worked with. Christina had a great sense of humor that I looked forward to during our sessions with Gus. Someone who can laugh with you about how awkward you look and feel learning new concepts is a gem. Evan was like an accidental therapist who you don't mean to spill your guts to, but you do because his energy is so calm and understanding. THESE are the types of people you want working with your family pet, and with YOU. I can get tense training my dog, but they put me at ease the entire time. Additionally, Alicia was remarkably accommodating to my insane schedule and always able to promptly connect with me and figure out how to get me in. I'm a sucker for customer service and Alicia's bubbly personality is a perfect fit. I was so impressed with SMS, I signed up for puppy class, too. I know training can be an expensive investment and you want to be sure it's worth it-- this is worth it. Don't waste money doing multiple other trainings that don't quite click because they are more affordable. Do it right the first time here!

Our dog, Penny, is a rescued pitbull and the sweetest dog in the entire world to us, guests and…read morestrangers on the street. She did however have a terrible habit of pulling (think of a sleigh dog. That's what she looked like while pulling us, ugh) Enough was enough. Eventually we would have gotten hurt or she could have gotten lose & hurt herself / another dog. She also showed aggression towards other dogs and growls, barks and pulled even harder than normal. Inside she was a princess and outside she looked like a mean evil pitbull. It made us as dog owners look bad. Plus, we couldn't enjoy our summer with an uncontrollable dog. We decided to head to a free consultation. We were referred here by the owners husband. After the consultation they said most likely she won't need a harness anymore, only a leash. I laughed on inside. Guess what.... They were right. Since training, we've only needed a collar.. No more harness! We did the 3 day training program which meant penny would get dropped off here and spend 8 hours with a trainer 1 on 1. It also includes 1 day at home which was very helpful & 3 months of group classes which are 2x a week. They took videos of her training and sent them to us. In the videos they explained what they were doing and why it worked. We can always look back on those videos if needed. That's very helpful! The price seemed steep at first but essentially you are getting 3+ months of training for the price. Peace of mind knowing my dog is safe is priceless. Linda and Bridget did an excellent job. Penny Is more controllable now and doesn't pull on the leash. Group classes will really benefit her and I can't wait to start. I'm thankful for sit means sit. I used to dread walks and we couldn't even do fun stuff like the parks or camping. Now, we can finally have fun with our dog. Most importantly, she is much more safe since we can control her.

There are always plenty of instructors and personal time with your pooch. Most all of the dogs in the class made great strides in the training because of all of the personal attention. They are a positive reinforcement training facility for the most part. This is a huge plus. Scientific studies have shown that positive reinforcement techniques are far more effective than old school punitive techniques of dog training. The other students are friendly and communicative and supportive. The facility has a rubber floor so you don't feel tired from training all day on concrete (it saves your bones). The prices can't be beat at $15 per drop in (less if you buy a series and even less still if you buy a $25 membership). Best dog training prices I have ever seen. You can tell they love dogs!

A Life-Changing Experience with McWreath Dog Training!…read more I can't say enough good things about Chelsea, the founder and owner of McWreath Dog Training! When Loki and I first came to Chelsea, we were both an anxious mess--me, not knowing how to help my pup, and Loki, struggling with walks, car rides, and the everyday stresses of life. Fast forward to now, and the transformation is nothing short of incredible: ‍ Loki walks more calmly by my side. He's confident enough to enjoy the local dog park and make new friends! Long car trips? No problem! Everyday errands around town? A breeze. Chelsea didn't just train Loki; she trained us as a team. Her patience, expertise, and genuine care for both dogs and their owners made all the difference. Loki is happier, more relaxed, and thriving in ways I never thought possible. Loki even used their Boarding facilities when we took a trip to Europe for 10 days. He had tons of fun meeting and playing with all the other pups there, in a structured setting and fully supervised. (with videos and photos too) If you're feeling overwhelmed with your dog's behavior, I wholeheartedly recommend McWreath Dog Training. Chelsea has truly given us the tools and confidence to enjoy life together to the fullest! Thank you, Chelsea, for changing our lives! Loki and I are forever grateful.

My review is only based on my training experience as I have not used any other services here…read more We have brought our pup to two different one-on-one training sessions here and it has been absolutely worth every penny. Brett Reynolds is the trainer and I would recommend him to anyone that wants to modify their dog's behavior! We adopted a Min-Pin Terrier mix puppy at about 7 months old. He was social at the dog park and was very friendly with people whether at our house or elsewhere. Around 10 months, we began seeing some different behaviors in our little pup, especially when on leash around other dogs or when there was a fence between him and other dogs or people. It got to the point where we were no longer comfortable taking him out as regularly and stopped going to the dog park. We have since learned that our little baby suffers from something called "barrier aggression." I explained the situation to Brett through a phone conversation and a few follow-up emails. When we arrived for our session, we talked through specifically what we wanted to work on and then got started. I learned so much in an hour! It was not only helpful in modifying my dog's behavior, but also in giving us the confidence in training him properly. We purchased a Gentle-Leader collar which has worked great for us. We also learned certain commands to direct and distract him around other dogs, which avoids him escalating into a blind rage where it is very difficult to calm him down. At the end of the session, Brett brought another dog into the room and we were able to try out the new commands while we still had him there to give us feedback. We have continued everything we've learned in the two sessions during our time at home and have noticed a significant change in our dog's behavior. He's not perfect by any means, but seeing the progress he's made is motivation for us to remain consistent and follow-through with everything we learned from Brett. I look forward to more training sessions and possibly trying an agility class in the future!

OVERCROWDED AND UNDERSTAFFED!! I had another dog that went to Dog Stop in Upper St. Clair. It was so overcrowded that my dog would hid in the corner and a some point a larger do peed on her!
