About Sit Means Sit Dog Training San Diego

Sit Means Sit Dog Training San Diego offers obedience training programs for dogs of all ages and breeds. Their experienced trainers use industry-leading methods to help dogs learn control both on and off leash while preserving their natural instincts. The training program includes private lessons, group classes, aggression training, board-and-train, and Puppy 101. Clients praise the program for its effectiveness and the trainers' dedication to helping both dogs and owners succeed. The training covers essential commands like sit, stay, come, and loose leash walking. Clients report that these basic commands have addressed various behavioral issues, including barking, begging, jumping, and chasing. This has resulted in calmer, happier dogs and a stronger bond between dogs and their owners. The program also includes ongoing Saturday morning obedience sessions, providing continued practice and socialization opportunities for dogs. Clients highlight the trainers' professionalism, insightful guidance, and ongoing support as key strengths of the program. Tim, in particular, has received high praise for his patience and expertise, transforming the lives of dogs like Kooper, who once struggled with reactivity. Many clients say the program has been a life-changing experience for both them and their dogs, leading to increased confidence and a more manageable, enjoyable relationship with pets. The training helps owners fully integrate their dogs into various aspects of their lives. Additionally, the program uses stimulation collar-based training, which is faded out in about 3 to 4 weeks for most dogs. The remote collar then becomes a backup safety net, such as during hikes. One client shared how their dog took off after a small deer but stopped and flipped around after a collar beep interrupted his chase instinct, showing how effective the collar can be. Many owners also appreciate the fun weekend group classes that reinforce learned skills. The trainers' professionalism and ongoing support are highly valued, with some clients noting that their dogs, like a Staffy named Gus, love going to school and enjoy the loving attention from trainers. The trainers teach responsible ownership and provide tools that help dogs thrive, making a noticeable difference in lives. For example, one dog now sits and stays on command, walks without pulling, and socializes well with other dogs. The free Saturday group classes help reinforce these skills and continue the progress. Overall, Sit Means Sit is highly recommended for all dogs.

    We cannot recommend Tim and McKayla enough! From the very beginning, they treated us like family and genuinely cared about not only Rufus, but us as owners as well. Their dedication, patience, and expertise completely transformed Rufus’s behavior.

    Before training, Rufus struggled with reactivity, and it often felt overwhelming. Thanks to Tim and McKayla’s guidance, we now have the tools and confidence to manage his behavior. His discipline, focus, and overall obedience have improved beyond what we thought was possible. Walks are enjoyable again, and we finally feel like we’re in control instead of constantly reacting to situations.

    As first-time dog owners, we tried multiple ways to train our Cavapoo—YouTube videos, apps, and even a personal trainer at home. But our pup can be stubborn and strong-willed, and we were struggling with behaviors like growling and resource guarding. That’s when we came across Sit Means Sit and decided to give it a try.

    Tim has been wonderful to work with. He is kind and patient, while also being assertive and consistent with the training. Our puppy absolutely loves him and always seems eager to show Tim what a good boy he can be!

    What we especially appreciate is that the training doesn’t stop with the dog. After each of the four one-on-one...read full review

    Both trainers at Sit Means Sit are amazing! As a first time mama bear to a fur baby, I was nervous about the e-collar, but Tim is super family-oriented and made me feel completely comfortable with it. He strikes the perfect balance of discipline and love.

    We brought in our 11 month old min pin for heavy leash pulling, reactivity, and scavenging. We had tried training him for 6 months but nothing was sticking. Tim is thorough, highly communicative, and gives excellent post-session directions. We just started group classes and loved how welcoming they are, they truly pay attention to every dog. We've seen great improvement in just a few weeks, and these group sessions...read full review
