    Chase staying on place

    Since starting training with Aaron, our puppy Chase has become a more enjoyable dog. He was getting into that crazy phase and driving us nuts. Now with the training he's listening better and getting the mental stimulation he needs. He's only 6 months old and already so happy with his progress.

    Excellent, knowledgeable and willing to work with any case. I have an aggressive dog that is reactive, Aaron has been helping us make our pet's life and our lives better.

    Zokke focusing on me

    When I began searching for a trainer for our 13-month-oldhusky, Zokke, I was unsure about what type of training would be best. It soon became clear that Zokke could detect my medical condition, but she still needed advanced obedience training to behave calmly, respectfully, and attentively in public spaces. Although we considered many choices, we required a person to be open to collaborating with a Husky who demonstrated abilities as a medical service dog. Now huskies are notoriously difficult to train, even for basic obedience,making them a challenge as medical service dogs. When I told other trainers about our Zokke, many advised against service dog training. After my search, I found Aaron at Sit Means Sit. He welcomed collaboration from the start and proved to be a skilled trainer who understands different dog breeds and their unique behaviors, offering patient guidance tailored to each dog. Aaron's training approach encompasses not only obedience instruction for dogs but also emphasizes educating his clients about their vital role in the process. Aaron is committed to the owner and dog become a team. Aaron helped me see that I needed training just as much as Zokke. This collaborative partnership is fundamental to achieving successful outcomes for both Zokke and I. Upon our first meeting Aaron discussed with me the challenges Zokke was facing and my goals for both of us. That initial challenge involved training Zokke to walk calmly on a leash without undue pulling. It was necessary to modify the innate behavior developed from sled pulling into a more controlled walking style. When one style of training did not work, Aaron guided me to another and another technique until Zokke understood what it was to walk calmly by my side, on and off leach. For instance, he said and I quote just drop the leach, rather than holding it. Walla, that worked, she walked calmly beside me, no pulling. It is all about communication with your dog. With Aaron's guidance, she and I both achieved our goal, and it felt incredibly rewarding when she understood. She also needed to greet adults and children with a calm demeanor, fully aware that one day she would often be in restaurants, stores, motels, hospitals, and faced with challenges like ignoring distractions or other animals she might meet. During the past two years, Aaron has worked with Zokke, and together we have formed a formidable team. We have brought Zokke into restaurants, where her training has been so effective that people frequently remark, "I didn't even realize she was here," which is a wonderful compliment to her skills. Aaron frequently says to Zokke, "You're rocking it today." If Zokke faces a challenge, Aaron comes to help wherever it occurs—our home, neighborhood, or elsewhere. He always checks in on Zokke, and after I update him, we arrange to address the issue together. During group training sessions, Aaron engages individually with each client to discuss their progress, their dog's behavior,and any challenges they are facing. He evaluates the effectiveness of current strategies and identifies areas for improvement. Group sessions provide an opportunity for clients to connect with one another, share experiences, and offer mutual support, as many of us have encountered similar situations. Dogs also benefit from these interactions by observing and learning from each other and often form positive associations or friendships. Additionally, dedicated social time is integrated for the dogs to practice and develop appropriate manners when interacting with peers. Eighteen months ago, during a family emergency, I asked Aaron to board Zokke as she was familiar with Aaron and felt comfortable throughout her stay. He sent me updated videos of her, wow, which were unexpected. This was amazing, gave me peace of mind and I see she was happy too. I will forever be indebted to Arron for coming alongside me when I truly need support. One of the unbelievable aspects of “Sit Means Sit,” is that the training is for life! Yes, call, text, one-on-one sessions, and group. Do you need to board your dog? Yes, Aaron will also board your dog in a loving and welcoming environment. Do you need to board and train, yes that is available too, where your dog gets one-one training. I highly recommend Aaron and Sit-Means-Sit for their effective training, honest communication, and success with challenging animals. Their approach goes beyond obedience, helping you build a meaningful relationship with your dog. They are loyal and caring, and with Aaron's help, we built a strong relationship together. Going with Sit Means Sit was the best decision I made for both Zokke and myself.

    Sit Means Sit is such a special place for us. After not having any luck with another trainer we were desperate to find a program that worked for our stubborn German Shepherd. We found Sit Means Sit and called to schedule an evaluation. We met with Aaron and really didn't expect for much to be accomplished, boy were we wrong. I literally thought Tally would fail every test and within minutes Aaron had him following basic commands. We didn't hesitate to sign up for private lessons. They was such a wonderful experience for us. That was 20 months ago, and we still attend group class on a regular basis, which is included in the price of the whichever type of training you choose for your fur baby. We chose individual private lessons because we wanted to be included in every step of his progress. You can choose to board and train as well. I heartily recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone who needs help with their dogs behavior and manners. Tally is a joy to be around and we continuously get comments on how well behaved he is. We couldn't be happier with the results of the training we received from Sit Means Sit.

You'll get plenty of support you need along the way as long as you'll ask for it. I text Michael, sometimes daily, all my questions and concerns regarding the training, and I've never been left without an answer! He'll also provide a ton of materials (videos, books, articles) you need to familiarize yourself with to set you up for success. Me and my dogs are working on solving the fence fighting issue, and so far one of them is actually responsive to my efforts. When I reached out to Michael I didn't think that much can be done, but now I see a light at the end of a very, very long tunnel :). All our sessions have been online so far, as few days before our first scheduled meeting the stay at home order was placed. Online conference worked just as well for us, and we didn't have to delay the training any longer. A recent addition- online "support group" where his customers can share ideas and chat is a great idea too! Overall, I couldn't be happier with the decision to work with Michael.

Playtime was not fun for us because he would get too worked up and end up with what I called a "zoomy meltdown", which involved a lot of jumping and nipping. Michael taught us to recognize the signs before he got out of control and helped us to keep OUR stress level down and redirect his energy. Finn is much more relaxed now, around us and guests. Thanks to the training, we have an energetic sweet boy instead of a lot of stress and worry.

We initially thought we'd foster her for adoption due to her dog aggression issues. After working with Travis, we decided togive Rosie a forever home ourselves. We brought Travis in to privately train her so she didn't have to deal with the stress of a group setting and because we wanted a tailored training program. With Lone Star Dog Training, we received an excellent job. Travis educated us about how training is important and what results he felt we could see. Over the course of 4 months, Rosie went from being aggressive toward our other dogs to feeling safe and comfortable with them. She's even adopted our 12 year old border terrier as her sister. Rosie has progressed from a frightened stray who did not wag her tail or understand how to take affection, to bounding and leaping with joy when she sees her people. She now seeks out our affections and looks forward to spending time with us. If not for Lone Star Dog Training, we would not have decided to keep her. It showed us what a wonderful, fun and loving dog Rosie is. Thank you, Travis , for your dedication and patience with us.

Bob gave me the tools to overcome this bump in the road and for that I was very grateful. It just was not happening before I hired him. We were and are in training with someone else to pass the AKC CGC test to become a Therapy Dog and he just wasn't getting it. I felt that this $350 was money well spent. When it came time to test, I got nervous so I called Bob again to help me with the portion of the test that was to have my dog have no reaction to another dog. There are certain tasks your dog has to pass and this is one of them. It is more than just walking by another dog. He was to take the test the next day but I was nervous to take the test in case he was to fail this portion. He suggested we meet in front of Petsmart. I was hesitant to stand in front of a store asking customers for help, but hey he is the trainer. I don't know if Bob is unfamiliar with the CGC test as he kept asking me what was expected. Maybe, he just wanted to visit. I kept wondering, "Why is he asking me? He is the professional, not me." After 3 customer's dogs pass by he said, "This lesson was a bust. I'm not going to charge you. You can use me for something else."He encouraged me to take the test anyway. Little did I know that the encouragement would cost $350. My dog did pass the test today, but it is not because of yesterday. My dog and I work every single day together. I absolutely use the tools I was taught by Bob for heeling. My dog is also still in obedience school with another trainer and doesn't need anything Bob has to offer. So, I asked for a refund and he said no. What he did for my dog that day was just look for dogs from customers, pace around the sidewalk and we pretty much just visited. Bob is quite an entertaining guy. This is a picture of Bob's response when I asked for a refund. My response was "Merry Christmas. Keep the money. God Bless." I guess he needs it more than I. Bob knows that standing in front of Petsmart talking and hitting up a few customers is not what got my dog to pass the test. It was hard work for the last 6 months and we have more to go. We are on our way to help those who need a great big dog hug.

    Why 5 stars? Because this man is fluent in dog…read more --- --- --- We got a new puppy a few months ago, so one of the first things we searched for was a good trainer in the area. Approximately 10 seconds after my initial search, it was very obvious that Scott was the easy decision. He's been collecting reviews for years and virtually all of them are 5-stars. It was a virtual guarantee that we would be happy if we called Scott. So we called Scott. Yes, these services are not cheap. But you get what you pay for and what you pay for here is a human being who speaks dog. Owning a puppy can be the source of unlimited stress, but you can really minimize that stress when you have someone like Scott to help you learn how to tackle all of the issues that pop up along the journey. And honestly, you plan to have a puppy in your life for many years - getting good behavior for potentially a decade+ is not money you are going to regret spending. We purchased the middle-tier package which consisted of 5 visits (4 in home and 1 at a park) + the opportunity to reach out to him whenever we have any future issues and need a bonus session or just some help. Scott came to our house for visit #1, and I will never forget how hard I laughed when he *immediately* transformed our girl from a cracked out puppy to a completely submissive and obedient dog after a simple, two-step action. And his method is never to hurt your dog - this is all done by just mimicking the behavior of an older dog who is teaching a puppy how to behave. Each visit resulted in better and better behavior. As of this writing, our puppy is 5 months old, but we have greatly accelerated her emotional intelligent, far behind her actual age. Our last visit was at a big park that had a dog park and a playground. There were a bunch of kids playing on the playground and they wanted to come say hello and pet our dog. Of course, I forgot all of *my* training and was failing to control her from jumping and being crazy. Scott patiently watched me messing up, and eventually, calmly walked over, took the leash, did his two step command, and just like the first day: POOF, it was like an exorcism. Suddenly, she was calm and submissive, allowing the toddlers to pet her without anymore lunatic behavior. The group of parents literally ooh'd and ahh'd at this marvel. I'm so glad others were able to witness his magic. And I'm so glad Scott was one of our first calls after we brought Birdie into our lives. I highly recommend you do the same.

My dogs are accustomed to being around, just our family and don't always be friend new people readily. They immediately took to the owner, Brian. Our dogs are on a diet where they have a mixture of dry and wet food that require refrigeration or freezing. That was no problem at all for the owner to accommodate. The fellas looked well cared for when my son picked them up! My son forgot to check for the dogs blankets when he picked them up and Brian kindly drove them down to the city where we live so that the dogs would have them. I will definitely use Hicks Farm again and I highly recommend them!

Before she went, I'd worked with her on sit, down, take it, leave it, and some spins with decent success. Brian took what she had and built on it, adding heel, come when called, turn, and stay. He returned a noticeably different dog. When we hit some bumps shortly after, he came back out and spent a solid hour with me going over what was actually happening...not just commands and corrections, but why she was behaving the way she was and what she needed from me to feel secure. (Spoiler: she needed me to be more confident and consistent.) He has a way of cutting straight to what matters without overcomplicating it, and more than once he said exactly the right thing at exactly the right moment. What struck me most across both experiences was how much genuine wisdom he brings to his work. He's clearly someone who has learned his craft through deep experience and observation, and it shows in every interaction with the dog and with the owner. On top of all of that, his pricing was incredibly reasonable; boarding and training combined for what many trainers charge for training alone. We felt genuinely taken care of. Kind, patient, perceptive, and exactly what we needed. Highly recommend.
