Great review from Barb... "I brought 2 puppies 2months apart, to say it was overwhelming is putting it mildly! EVERYONE we worked with was amazing! Special shout out to Emma & Jordan, I can now take the puppies for a walk without throwing out my hip from the pulling!"

Great review from Victoria... "When we brought our new corgi puppy home, I knew we had to bring her to SMS. My 11 year old cockapoo went through the program years ago and also went through their therapy dog training program. Eowyn is the first puppy my husband and I are raising together and the first puppy I’ve cared for in a long time. When she came home we knew she was going to be a very smart dog, but around 16 weeks we started encountering some struggles with barking non-stop when she saw other dogs. At that point we finally got her scheduled to start her training program. She had two puppy lessons, three day trains and has been in groups since July 2025. I can’t say how much this program helped us to harness her crazy herding dog intelligence and energy and help her to become a well behaved dog we love to bring everywhere with us. Her barking at other dogs has improved significantly and she has really excelled in the group classes. Cam started with her first puppy lesson, then her second puppy lesson was with Jordan and her day trains were done with Jordan and Justin. We have also worked with Mckenzie in group classes. All of these trainers are absolutely wonderful people and we really enjoyed working with all of them during the process because each one of them had different tips, tricks and insight to offer us. Group classes are a highlight of our weeks and we love meeting other dog people who enjoy training their dogs and making them into better companions. I still have friendships with several people from when I went through the program 10 years ago with my first dog!! The trainers will meet you where you are at to work towards any goals you have for your dog, whether that is a companion on your couch or even working towards dog sports. The foundational obedience skills and behavioral management that Eo’s trainers helped us on have helped her to get into Barn Hunt classes and we just began trialing. She is only a 9 month old puppy and I am so proud of how far she has come at this point. If you are considering using SMS I cannot recommend them enough. They are well worth the investment and your dog’s world will be so much bigger if they are trained well!"

Meet Hitch. 1 year old male.
Hitch was found wandering in the street. We know he was outside for over a week when the foster family found him. He was super thin and scared. People in the area believe he was dumped. No family found, no chip on him.
Hitch has been to the vet and is up to date with his shots. He loves to play and snuggle. He is good with kids.
We are looking for a good home for him. Please help us find his forever home.
If interested, you may contact Jennifer (716-480-8126) or Paul (716-803-0847).

Great review from Amanda... "We’ve had such a great experience with Sit Means Sit! Our trainer, Elly, has been amazing—not only with Remi, but with us too. She explains everything clearly, walks us through step by step, and even jumps in to show us what to do when we’re struggling. Remi (and us!) are still a work in progress, but we’ve already seen such a difference, and knowing we have lifelong support makes it even better! Thank you, Elly and Sit Means Sit!"

Great review from Tracy... "Ongoing training at SMS has set the foundation for my two dogs to become certified therapy dogs. The day train program and group classes practice essential socialization and obedience skills that result in the most well-behaved dogs. I highly recommend trainers Justin and McKenzie for their expert knowledge and patience in tackling the most difficult behaviors!"

Great review from Keara... "We've been working with Sit Means Sit for a couple of months now with our 5 month old puppy. The trainers and staff have been great to work with. Knowledgeable, patient, dog-loving, etc. Us and our puppy have learned so much in this short amount of time, and our puppy loves it."

Great review from Camaro... "They took an excited and energetic puppy and turned him into a dog that will focus on me as well as, more importantly, listen. They gave him a solid foundation for future work and I look forward to it. Thanks!"
