- DDDebbieAug 1, 20255.0Absolutely love this place. My dog was needing a lot of training and with their help he is a certified good boy, that knows his commands and is more confident around people. Cannot thank them enough.
- PCPaige ComptonJul 19, 20255.0My puppy (7) months learned so much in his 4 trainings Alyssa is great to work with. My boy is stubborn and she was patient with him. This is not an overnight process and you as the owner have to do your part. Sit Means Sit gave me the tools and resources to help make my puppy more manageable. This is a life long investment I would recommend them to anyone !!
- LSLisa SaundersSep 5, 20245.0Our dog Cash ( 1 year old chocolate lab), excelled under Alyssa's expertise. I first noticed Sit Means Sit after watching Ripken the Bat Dog on Facebook. I reached out to their Greensboro site online. Alyssa immediately got in touch and came out and we had our consultation where she got to meet Cash and us. We choose the 5 day training module and it really worked for us. Alyssa worked with our schedules even when Cash had to undergo emergency surgery for eating a toy that got stuck. We truly recommend Sit Means Sit, especially Alyssa for your training needs.
- BRBrett RyanJul 25, 20235.0We signed up our 10mo old miniature schnauzer, Buddy, to do the 10 day training. We noticed a difference in, of course, his obedience but also his overall demeanor! Even our family members noticed that he was a more even-keeled puppy. Since his initial training, I have taken Buddy back to the group trainings to keep him fresh and continue to sharpen his skills. Alyssa did a great job with Buddy and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her service to anyone with a dog!
- HJHunter JacksonJul 14, 20225.0I can not speak highly enough of Alyssa at sit means sit. Our dog Bentley couldn't control his own energy before he came here. He would think it was playtime all the time and play tug of war with his leash. We dropped him off a day each week for 4 weeks. We could immediately see the change in the fact he actually listened and was civilized. Roughly 6 months after, he had a problem with doing whatever he wants on the leash since he wants to sniff everything. We contacted them, dropped him off one more day (No, they didn't charge us anything!!) Bentley is a model citizen now and knows how to control his own energy inside and outside of the house now thanks to Alyssa and sit means sit!
Frequently Asked Questions About Sit Means Sit Dog Training Greensboro
How much does your obedience training cost?
Our dog training programs are customized to each individual situation. We consider various factors such as your dog's age, temperament, and previous training, as well as your specific goals. To provide an accurate cost estimate, we offer a free consultation and demonstration. During this meeting, we'll assess your dog's needs and develop a tailored training plan. This allows us to give you a precise idea of the cost to achieve your goals, with no obligation attached to the initial consultation.
What type of training methods do you use?
At Sit Means Sit, we employ a variety of training methods and aids to help our clients and their pets reach their goals. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for both dogs and their owners by creating happy, obedient, and confident canines. We tailor our training sessions to suit both the owner's personality and the dog's needs, aiming for the best possible training experience. Our approach focuses on maintaining a positive and relaxed attitude in the dogs we train, as evidenced in our training videos.
Do you only train with the Sit Means Sit collar?
We utilize a diverse approach to dog training at Sit Means Sit. Our attention-based system, developed by our founder and CEO Fred Hassen, incorporates various training tools. While we often use our customized Sit Means Sit collar, it's just one of the tools in our arsenal. This electronic collar uses safe, adjustable stimulation similar to medical devices like TENS units. It functions as a remote-controlled cue, comparable to tapping someone's shoulder for attention. Our training process teaches dogs to associate this cue with positive outcomes, allowing for effective communication even in distracting environments.
Does the trained dog always have to wear the Sit Means Sit dog collar?
Reinforcement is an ongoing part of dog training, similar to how traffic laws require continuous enforcement. The need for reinforcement varies among dogs, but proper training can lead to increased reliability even without training aids. Our training process involves three phases: teaching/control, reinforcement, and maintenance. The goal is to gradually reduce dependence on the collar while maintaining consistent behavior. Even after training, occasional reinforcement may be necessary, much like how drivers still need reminders of traffic rules. Our commitment is to help you achieve your training goals and maintain your dog's good behavior long-term.
