They've done an exceptional job with our Sammy. The staff is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, ensuring our dog's well-being and progress every step of the way. Sammy can be very stubborn, and all the staff have been very patient and understanding of Sammy's behavior - knowing how to make adjustments with/in training - something other facilities/trainers lack. Sammy is much more at ease, obedient, and going on walks beautifully (he is also in better shape)! Their philosophy is one that every facility/trainer should uphold. Highly recommend!!! *Thank you, Bow Wow Behavioral!

If I could give more stars, I absolutely would! We brought our 8-month-old puppy to Found, and he…read morehad the BEST experience in PupStart+. While every aspect of the program was fantastic, two things really stood out. First, the team genuinely cares about every dog--it's clear in everything they do. Second, this wasn't just a training experience for our puppy; it was a learning experience for us as owners, too. As first-time puppy owners, they gave us the skills and confidence we needed, and the progress our puppy made was incredible. We can now take him places and truly enjoy the experience. We initially signed up for six weeks but extended it by three more because of how much progress he was making--and because we knew the impact would be long-lasting. We're even planning to bring him back this summer for additional off-leash training (and because we're pretty sure he misses it!). I can't say enough positive things about the facilities, the staff, and the level of care they provide. They're always available to answer questions and show a genuine investment in each dog's success. It's also such a relief to have found a place we trust for boarding and grooming. Thank you, Found, for everything--you've truly changed our lives and our puppy's life!!

We recently brought our 2 year old rescue Doberman Pinscher Max in for training to help with some…read moreproblem areas such as leash manners and recall along with tips and tricks to reinforce his basic training. Max graduated class this past Wednesday and the transformation is amazing. Walking Max now is work in progress, but is so much more manageable and fun leading to both a positive experience for Max and us his parents. We are very happy with the the work and training that Mikey, Tony, and Erin (the trainers) put in to help us make a better and more stable home for Max and our family. We highly recommend Sit Means Sit and it trainers to anyone looking to reach the next level whatever that level may be from basic to advanced training.

The puppy class is a great start to socialize your pup with other dogs and new people in a safe and controlled setting. You learn techniques to manage all sorts of situations and set the stage for good behavior. The obedience classes give you the knowledge and tools you need to train your dog to behave well in any situation. A well-behaved dog can go practically anywhere and will always be welcomed back!

I believe I was in contact with KIM who honestly made me feel like I was just chatting with a friend! She was so approachable, understanding, and really went into the details of what option would best support my tiny fur children. Fast forward 3 months and we just wrapped up our in-home training package with Maureen! I cannot stress how amazing the entire experience was. Maureen has truly changed our lives for the better. Where we started to where we are now is night and day better, especially for my more aggressive dog Luna! We went from no one being able to enter our apartment with the dogs out to now the dogs just hanging out when people are here! Maureen is patient with pets AND people. She is always positive and really explains the WHY of the behaviors and outcomes. She's always on time, super professional, and gave us practical tools that actually work to truly set our dogs up for success but also US up for success as "parents" Honestly, I am a little sad Maureen is so great at her job because we will miss her coming over! If you want a trainer who knows her stuff and makes the whole process feel doable, Maureen is your person!

I have known Howard, Marilyn and John for over 30 years! John is training my dachsund puppy "Otto"…read moreright now. This is the third dachsund he has trained for us. I mention dachshund because they are notoriously stubborn and can be very difficult to train. From the first day, all my dogs were magically somehow clued in and listening to John. He truly has an other worldly connection with dogs. I couldn't get my dog to do anything and John had them able to do "sit", "Stay", "come" and "heel" on the first day. He then taught me how to handle my dog and get them to pay attention. The best part is the dogs are so much happier. It's as if they feel someone is communicating with them, and they are not alone. It's incredible to watch and my dogs remembered everything they learned their whole lives. John is the nicest person. He deeply loves and respects dogs and has made his life in the service of training them. It's a worthwhile investment. I actually tried a less expensive option as I am retired now but it was nothing like "Good Dog" and my dog was fearful and cowering. I immediately realized that I was so lucky to know this team and how worthy the investment in my dog is.

Megan was awesome from the jump - she responded quickly, patiently answered all of our (insane) questions, and showed us different exercises to help Juice learn to stay calm around the kitty.

Thanks to all of the insight that Megan gave us into Juice's behavior, continuing to work with our dog has become something we look forward to doing together every day.
