A huge thank-you to Alyssa and her pup for sharing their experience! Watching dogs grow in confidence and seeing owners feel more connected and empowered is exactly why we do what we do.

Training isn’t just about obedience; it’s about building trust, communication, and teamwork. We’re so proud of how far this duo has come!

🎉🐾 Congratulations to Brenna, Josh, Daisy & Zuko! 🐾🎉

Our awesome trainers just got back from a continuing education event in sunny Florida! 🌴 They spent the week training with their dogs, expanding their skills, and connecting with fellow Sit Means Sit trainers from across the country.

We’re so proud of their dedication to growth and the passion they bring back to our Madison team — and to every pup they work with!

Amazing story from our client and her dog Bobo. These two have come such a long way and we are so proud of them!

Read her whole review here:
"I cannot thank Sit Means Sit enough for the life-changing experience they gave me and my dog. I started training because my dog, an XL dog at 130 lbs, was extremely reactive—and honestly, my anxiety was through the roof. My Apple Watch would show my heart rate spiking after even a regular walk with him. I walked into the office not knowing what to expect, only knowing we desperately needed help if we were going to stay together.

From day one, the team was patient, non-judgmental, and incredibly supportive—not only with my dog, but also with me. They were able to calm me down when my anxiety was high, and they gave me confidence that we could do this. Josh, our trainer, was absolutely awesome—straightforward (no sugarcoating, which I appreciated), patient with all my questions, and always made sure we left knowing exactly what to practice.

The transformation has been amazing. Before, my dog was so reactive that we couldn’t even go on walks. Today, he’s completely different—attentive, calm on a loose leash, and able to focus on me instead of every distraction. Now we not only go on walks, but can sit peacefully together at the park.

I also really appreciated the group classes. They were welcoming, supportive, and never judgmental of either the dogs or their owners. The entire staff—from ownership to management to every team member you interact with—is excellent.

This training changed our lives. I’m still committed to practicing and building on the progress we’ve made, but I finally feel hopeful and happy walking with my dog again. Thank you, Sit Means Sit, for giving me back my confidence and for helping my dog and I enjoy life together."
