Sit Means Sit has made me feel empowered in training my dog. My husky has grown more than ever could have imagined in just a few weeks, and after our first group class this week, I’m getting a chance to see what’s ahead with his work. The trainers there are helpful, knowledgeable, and really help you understand your dog’s behavior and needs. feel so much safer with my dog, both with my others dogs, and out in the park and on walks. Thank you so much!!
Sit Means Sit has changed my out of control lab, Zoey, into a well-behaved dog. She pulled on a leash so badly that I couldn’t even take her for walks. After only one week, she was heeling off leash and right by my side. It was amazing! Now I enjoy hikes, walks, and other outings with her. I truly believe that Sit Means Sit can train any dog.
Tessie is amazing with dogs. She has a way of explaining things that will help you understand your dog even more than you already do. We initially went to a dog behaviouralist with our German Shepherd to be told to leave him in a room and medicate him for the rest of his life. We were hopeless until we found Sit means Sit. Tessie worked with our boy Blue and he loves her. If you are having any trouble with your dog I can happily say you found the right place to go!
We brought our COVID puppy to Tessie at Sit Means Sit to help us with issues that we were having. Like many COVID puppies our dog is very fearful of people and reactive to other dogs. Tessie and her crew are amazing. She has a passion for what she does and it shows. She trains your dogs so they understand what we are asking them to do then she trains the owners as well so we can guide our dogs correctly to achieve results. Tessie makes you feel that you are not alone with your struggles. She truly loves the dogs that she works with and cares for the families as well. If you put in the work with the tools she gives you the results are amazing.
Tessie has turned our Guss, 180 degrees! He was reactive, had no formal training, and was very territorial. After 2 months of training with Sit Means Sit, he is a different dog.
